7/3: launch at tunkannok at 5:15am and trolled north toward scout camp running 2 seth greens, 2 dypsies on 3 setting, one on a zero setting and a long leadcore(buddies idea had around 20 colors or better out) as soon as we made our first pass in front of scout camp we boxed 3lb brown in 120 foot of water on a rig rod. turned around hit another same size same rig. tried another pass but nothing. before we knew it there were 10 boats fishing same water so we ran toward miliekin station and set up around 120 again. fished there for an hour or so with not much but dink landlocks, bows and lakers so we decided to troll across lake and see if traffic was gone. no sooner did we get around 220fow on west side of lake zero dypsie pulling flasher and sutton spoon out 50 ft started screaming got within sight of boat went nuts and line broke lost a great rainbow. countinued trolling between scout camp and launch for awhile managed alot of lakers and dink bows and landlocks. decided to bump up speed and try deep for some silver. great move cuz we landed two 5lb landlocks that both jumped eye level with me at boat in 370fow. one on 3 dypsie out 75 foot one on rig rod both pulling sutton 44s. decided to end the day when all the inconsiderate boaters arrived. all in all was an amazing day we lost more fish than i can count at well as did the 4 species slam(first for me) and managed land over 20 fish. 7/6: decided to conclude my 4 day vacation back at the lake and decided to have my friend drive seperate because he had to leave around 1030 for work decided to run same spread and everytime we got north of scout camp between 120 and 160 fow a rod would go. first was a 4lb landlock then we had a pretty steady laker bite with fish in the 4-8lb range managed to land 5 of those and lost 3 good ones aswell. caught a few dink landlocks also. before we knew it he had to leave so i took him back and ventured back out running a 3 color core, dypsie on a 3 setting and one seth green rig. trolled past scout camp twice only caught one 16 inch laker so i decided to get north of camp pull leadcore and change dypsie to a zero setting and set out other rig rod to troll one more pass infront of scout camp. got back south of camp and no sooner do my hands hit a rig rod to back up other one goes nuts! after a long solo battle with this great fish managed to put a 8.5lb brown in the box. was 50 foot down over 150 foot of water on stinger bloody nose. packed up and headed home ending my weekend on a good note Sent from my LG-VS450PP using Tapatalk

launched out of tunkhannok at 5:30am running 2 rig rods and a 0 dipsey as soon as we got second rod set we looked back at first one and it was going. landlock around 18inches(still swimming) purple spoon 50ft down in 300fow. got situated and moved into 120 and took 5lb laker 80ft over 120. decided to cross lake and try by the smoke stack. get set up and lost a good fish on dypsy. rig starts bouncing lost fish. other rig bounces lost another nice fish. all within 5 min just south of smoke stack. thought game on but fish had another plan. ran back to other side of lake to troll back toward lauch get just north of lauch in 120fow and both rigs start hammering land both one was 7.5lbs one was 8. 100ft down over 120 one on green frog color spoon other on green evil eye. set rigs again and bam big hit! bring 9lber to surface and into the net with people watching from park! other rod bounces and drop another fish. wind picked up so we decided to end on a good note. must have lost 5 or 6 and landed atleast 8 or 9 dinks. great day! back at it tomorrow!

i wish i could post pics of boat but its hard on this phone i figured out what to do with riggers thanks to some pics by lil ripper and figured out where i can mount my 4 down eastern rod holders exactly for that reason. 2 for solo 2 for when have company and they will allow me to still fish seth green rigs and serve as rod holers for flat lines when needed. i also mounted some pvc to front sides of front seat for core or coppers on boards or other flatlines as needed thanks everyone for the help will try to figure out how to post pics when boat is finished. and there will be plenty of lakers and hopefully some kings caught out of it this summer
-
haha ive got a feeling by the time im done with this boat itll have just enough room to sit down and fight fish but ive saw some guys who have them real decked out and some i know dare i say caught more fish than the guys in big boats
-
sk8-did your boat have the 3 bench style seats? how were they to get over under pressure
-
that was one of the biggest concerns ill post some boat pics tomorrow
-
just one of those things with alot of pros and cons
-
this was one of my biggest issues cuz i really dont want to have to get up and get over the center bench to reach a rod holder if fiahing solo. kinda dont want to get that far away from tiller even if i do lock it in place however would like if second person can atleast reach diver rods
-
that brings up another question? what size inline planners do guys run core off?
-
anyone one on here troll out of 14ft deep v bottom with tiller control? looking for some help as to how to mount downriggers and what downriggers work good for people out of these boats. was thinking of getting short arms and mounting them in the back corners but i see people post pics of downriggers off the sides in these. would this allow you to run dypsy rods aswell? trying to get most comfortable set up possible and be able to run a decent set up efficently. mostly fish finger lakes but would like to be able to venture to ontario on calm days for kings. that being said i would like riggers with good spool capacity. also anyone have any ideas on what rods to buy for this situation at an affordable cost? looking for 2 downrigger rods(dont think they need counters) 2 dypsy rods and a couple cores but is that efficent? have been a seth green fisherman in the past but looking to upgrade to something a little more sporting. thanks for your help. tight lines
