Hello, My name is Mark. I live in Kenai, Alaska. Before I moved here 8 years ago I was from Michigan. I fished Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, and Lake Ontario. Here in Alaska we use some of the same tactics trolling for Salmon as I used on the Great Lakes. I love sites like this to see what the new products and attics being used.
I have a 26' Hewescraft with twin 115 hp Yamaha outboards. We are lucky here because we can troll for Salmon all year long in the saltwater. Most boats up here are set up for cold weather fishing. Mine has a full inclosed cabin with a furnace. We all run outboards to deal with freezing issues. I will share what works for us and maybe some of the things we use will work for you to.
