  1. From a fellow guy in northeastern pa ... you might look up by walkenpaupack just stay away from first class marine better they should name it no class marine there are other options up there you might try Moore’s outboard service in Ithaca he rebuilt a 250 hp engine for me and did ok ..don’t know if he does inboards or not there is a guy in Dickson city on business 6 the son is pretty decent they are a tracker dealer the old man is a troll stay away from that ... what ever you find better take a big dose of patience this time of year everyone is slammed
  2. Ouch
  3. Ill pm you Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United
  4. Pole and line have little to do with what you described. As the post above says, a good treble hook, don't ever set the hook, and slow and steady reel to the net with as even pressure as possible. Trout mouths are pretty soft and tear out easily. I have had many people pull back and reel down like you might do another type of fish, this just opens the hole wider allowing the hook to go free if you let the line slack.... if you use dipsys a good snubber will help prevent pull outs as well. My 2 cents... typically my charters land 70-90 percent depending on the skill of the angler and their ability to follow instructions...once in a while I get someone incapable of following basic instructions and I watch fish swim away laughing...
  5. Yeah I love them... especially when a 10000 pound boat is going 40 mph.. but also great at troll speed single engine can keep me at 1.5 or so
  6. Lol best investment in electronics you can make next to a really solid sonar system
  7. Looks good when we are hauling at 40 mph makes a loud whipping noise though
  8. I had just finished setting up for departure Sunday and thought the lighting was kinda cool and shot some photos of our ride ready to fish thought I would share... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  9. Not a bad idea...I will be putting up a comprehensive video on the uscg aux website for ithaca a cold water presentation that included a video of people in water about that temperature as a test and followed their symptoms over time..it is quite educational...have some editing to do on it but it will be up likely in a week or so on our YouTube Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

  18. You are not crazy...i have found that a high percentage of the suspended lakers in cayuga have coloring often as bright as a brightly colored brown and a high percentage of them were natural spawn not stocked... all of the brightest colored ones I have caught were natural spawners. The exception being I found them on the bottom during october...I did not track everything I caught over the last couple of seasons...and while id like to think I have the discipline to do so and it would be interesting I probably dont. Other things like clients conversations and finding and landing fish take priority. I do know I caught between 250-300 lakers last year on my charters and paid close attention to whether they were clipped or not. I brought one up with a lampray on it, a few had scars but not many...when I would go shallower and work bottoms for browns I would invariably snag alot of lakers that were smaller in the low 20 inch category and be shaking them off... like rustyrat I could not find browns after the early season...
  19. Lmao strong opinions gotta love fishermen. I get them both ways but mostly suspended bottom dancing only when I have enough good experience on board to work riggers so I don’t lose equipment.
  20. Seminar???? What did I miss?
  21. Great reports guys congratulations
  22. I have found that certain colors can be hotter one week to the next based on a variety of factors, depth fish are at, time of year, fish preference day to day...Ive had green and white hot one day, then it wont hit anything next day suddenly bright orange is hot. I generally run upwards of 12 lines so I start with a spread of spoons and flasher flys in all different colors and see what starts hitting, then change to match. Ive had days where cant buy a spoon hit but ff are hot, and also the flip side.. biggest key is if you are marking and not hitting change out your presentation and color till they bite ...I run no more than 30 minutes when marking fish without a hit before changing out rigs..

  23. Hey that one in the middle is yours lol
  24. So below is the picture of my new dash and electronic installation done myself...took off old thinner dash with old electronics and one new lowrance...traced it on butcher paper and sent it to www.boatoutfitters.com They cut me a new replacement routed edge on a thicker plastic king starboard that matched the previous to a T. Then I measured 16 times lol and cut in the electronics myself and built a bracket system to hold them all in place from behind...viola dual networked lowrance units with total scan...downscan and side scan..plus a Garmin 740 to replace my older chart plotter to run the radar....if you need something custom they do it..
