On the Pa. side Willow bay is a good place to start then sugar bay would be my next spot. There is usually a lot of daytime pressure on that lake, you would do better night fishing Kinzua. I usually do well in front of the beach just past the bridge trolling at night. There are some really big Browns in there to that no one targets, you can usually pick up a few of them trolling the east shoreline near any of the steep banks where the water gets deep fast, use some plainer to get up close to the shore. Ps. Always drag a very large plug in your prop wash. There are huge muskies in that lake. Good luck and tight lines. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Do you fish kinzua a lot? I use to fish there every weekend, lots of white fish in there if the walleye aren’t biting. There catching a lot of walleye on the reservation rite now. There averaging about 16 17 inches. There is always the chance of getting a real wall hanger in there. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Get the biggest screen you can get in your budget. I would also recommend getting one with a chart plotter gps. And maybe the card to go with it so you have the topography of the lake. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
The way I do it is 20 feet of 50# mono then 1000 feet of wire, then I fill the reel with 50# braid. Then I hook my braid to another reel ( the same size) and reel it on. Use the drag on the first reel to keep it tight. The 20 feet of 50 # mono is to make deployment and storage of your wire rods easer. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
I’m sure they do. As for me, my freezer is pretty empty this time of year. I will usually keep my fish for the first few trips until I get some in the freezer. When I’m not practicing catch and release I practice catch and eat. Lol. Never hurts to take a few. ( save some alewives ) [emoji39][emoji39] Good catch.

I hunt in a similar spot. I won’t say the deer never saw a human but I’d bet they could count them on one hand. Lol. We hunt bear there and have killed 18 black bears in 8 Years. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
I used one of these for every body of water I fished when I used a hand held gps without mapping, I use to mark all the fish I caught with my gps and when I got home I would log them on my map. after a few years you get a pretty good pattern of where and when to catch fish.
now with the new chart plotters they are almost obsolete. I don't track on a paper map ant more.
I do have several that I plan to frame and hang in my man cave. they are pretty cool.
It shouldn't be that bad the aluminum lund's I believe all have aluminum stringers so when you remove the old floor don't smash it out so you can use it as a pattern. and be sure to seal all the new flooring, both sides and edges and any holes you have to put in it.
what ever color you chose I would get LED lights they use half the energy of a standard bulb. I replaced all the lights on my boat over the winter to LED's , now im drawing about half the amps with all my lights on as I was with just my underwater lights on.
You know I listen to a lot of guy complain about their boards not pulling out to the sides hard enough. I don't think they realize that if the boards pull out at 90 degrees there lines are only going to go half way down to the board. the goal is not to get your boards out at 90 degrees. you want them as close to 45 or 50 degrees so your lines run down to the planers.
if there at 70 to 90 they are pulling way to hard, your lines will only go half way out and cause a bow in the line and stop. ( its kinda like running a cheater on a rigger, it will only go half way down). just my thoughts.
