Bumping a post (replying to a post) will bump it to the top of the forum list. In this case, to the top of the list of classified ads. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yeah mount a table on a downrigger swivel base or a Traxstech fixed base (for a Big Jon swivel mount). Several companies sell tables (or you can make your own) like Magma, West Marine, Scotty, etc. Expensive if you don't already have the bases. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Don't know any Clark's. They were seized. Got it taken care of. Just takes a ton of torque to get them free. Vice and a big wrench. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I bought them used but they haven't had much use and still look new. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Thanks, I will post a picture in the morning. Both riggers are the same way. All 4 lock sleeves are seized up. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I picked up some used Cannon Mag 10 electric downriggers this week and cannot move the boom arm locks to move the telescopic boom sections. Am I missing something? Likely a dumb question, but I've only used fixed booms in the past. The manual says move them 1/4 turn counterclockwise, facing toward the swivel end. I can't get them to turn at all, even with a wrench. The lock pin looking things don't move either. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Online too: Buy one, get one half-off till July 8. Can buy up to 6 this way. Free shipping after $25 spent. Great deal. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Very nice, congrats! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

That's great news! I wonder if they offer the same deal online. I bought a few from Walmart a few months back, free shipping to the store. Our local Tackle shops don't sell them, nor do they even know about them when I ask. Salmo crankbaits are very popular here for walleye, the really tiny ones. Black is the hot color this year.

Thanks PAP, Yeah it took a long time to find the right color combo, especially with my old Cannon Mag10a's. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

A very tough day fishing. Waves, forgot my planer boards, got out there too late (noon), had equipment issues, leadcore wrapped around the prop (hence no boards [emoji53]). Took my Dad out today on Northern Lake Huron. Caught 4 nice lakers....3 in the boat....1 Monster almost in the boat [emoji25]). 2 of the fish weighed 10 pounds each. All were caught on a Gambler Magnum Pink Dot Spin and Glow with a trash can dodger. Tried cowbells, multiple colors, no fish....tried spoons, switched to dodger and blue glow spin and glows - bang. Talked to several fisherman on the water and at the launch. No lakers. A tough day. But I was thankful to find the right combination. Another score for Gambler Rigs. 95FOW (on a 1 mile flat shelf, 3 miles from shore), 10-15 ft behind ball, bouncing (more like dragging) 10 pound pancakes off the bottom. 1.5 to 2.2 mph.

Yikes! A good reminder. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

LOL! No idea! None at port, but then you find them miles from shore. It's an issue on all the Great Lakes. I searched the topic and was surprised to find so many threads. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The normal repellents don't work on those flies. They are stable flies and they are out for blood. They are attracted to your legs (standing). Sometimes sitting helps (no joke), but likely hard to do on a sailboat. Some things that might work: white vinegar, liquid lemon joy dish soap, Avon skin so soft mixed with listerine, and fly spray (the stuff for barns). Find a Tractor Supply store or local feed store for the barnyard biting fly repellents (though highly toxic). Deet won't work. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Absolutely. Thank you guys. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Great, thank you eafd30! I might try my hand at some salmon flies. I make my own walleye harnesses, so fly tying shouldn't be that difficult. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Ok thank you. And the material is 1 yard long? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

How many flies can you make from a 1 yard sample? I don't understand how the yard is measured. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Here's a link showing the drowning death details on the Great Lakes. Very disheartening. http://www.glsrp.org/statistics/ Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

You are welcome. If you can't find a used one, I can order you one and have it shipped to your house. Just let me know. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
