Olcott uses pallets with plywood over the top, worked great in 2017 and is working this year! Definitely pro-active and the full parking lot proves it! Great launch and fish cleaning station.
We made if thru the Welland Canal on Saturday with Matt Bedient of 716 Sportfishing piloting the boat! It took nearly 24 hours after leaving Barcelona Harbor on Lake Erie!! Made it thru without a scratch on the boat, a lot cleaner than we thought it was going to be as well.
If you have a thru-hull transducer sometimes they are mounted too far forward to see the ball with blowback. If you have a transom mounted transducer you can tilt it back a little so it can see the ball easier but it could prevent you from marking fish at running speeds.
This is the street in front of our trailer in Marblehead, Ohio and the second picture is the channel behind the trailer, the water is up over the sea wall, it’s looking like it’s going to be another bad water year!
