Crestliner

JLK I'm lucky I can get to boat launch in 10 minutes. Went to the Crestliner a few years back. 20 ft. over all length.18.6 sst. shes old boat did not break the bank. Have had big boats in past. Its alot of work. But this year getting close to retirement. We (I mean the captain) decided to go bigger again. Bought 22 Ft. wellcraft walk around .(after 4 months of searching) After 50 hrs. rigging fishing eq. from crestliner to wellcraft . we final took it for a ride on Canandaigua..Sunday was i mistake . But had fun any way. Big boat 5000lbs. was a breeze. to put in. Past owner pulled with 1/2 ton . I pull it with ford F- 350 dually .Which turn don't for crap. Boat pushed off trailer with one hand. And loaded with crank easy. Don't even feel boat back behind truck either. Just need walmart parking lot to back it up. ha ha .I Figure it out again. A lot off good deals out there rt now on 20 fters. If you can get the Wack ohs to part them. They post em . and then back at out at last min . Had this happen multiple times this summer. I get it she was your baby. Think before post people that's all. Had fun lookin and shootin the bull !!!

That didn't sound right either ??????

Sk8 100 per on the same page I still use my gramps tackle box and have about 80 of his suttuns, which are at least 50 yrs old or more He died in 86 so do the math.s quick strikes , Hincks , #7 flat fish . old repulas, Flasher rigs etc .You Know. Seams the more beat up the better they work especially after a big bow hammers it . and no they ain't for the big lake. The more brass showing throw the better. Don't no why may more natrual? Really don't care either it works so I use them with the 10 or so new ones I buy. I cant seem to make any of my big lake stuff work in the finger lakes .sure catch a few . .And I agree slower is better with the flutters. 1.5 to 1.9. I do it to honor the old guys. and yes we have put single hooks on few. or gramps always did.Some of theses spoons are pushin 80 yrs old. I don"t use them but here always on boat. Fenton Criss Ring a bell . Arts bait shop, Seth Hodge, Byron Blazey. To Name a few. These guys all fished out of Little 16 ft. Duracrafts with 9.9 s on the back. Catching white fish and walleyes. then trout when all that went down but you know that story. Lets Hook up some time !!! I'm not as serious as you . Because I"m a crazy stream fisher In spring and fall. Love them Steel head. But I'am getting to old for that HaHa. Time for boat to the heavy lifting. pardon my bad grammer and spelling.to old to care Use heavy suttuns up on the big lake and the take it pretty well no problems. If I Could just get them damn in line baords to stay on.motherfrigggg. Love your Knowledge too ! (all you guys ) Have funnnnnn!!!!!!!!!

I got a big boat and we still charter!!!

JK what size boat are you looking for ?

I Turn My graph off .I know where to fish. Just get the joy riders out of my way. They like the 130' line. My grand dad never had the tech we have and we'll never catch the amount of fish those old timers did. Yes who every said your over thinking it he is right.

And yes Use the Fish hawk!!!!!

SK8 man I dont Know how old you are But I have been fishing Canandaigua lake since I was 10 years old . With grampa using copper vic rigs , then Seth green rigs . Now 65 using Riggers ,Dipseys and in line boards. Still never been skunked. When i put on heavy suttuns no good. when I put on strike kings , Flasher fly and that other stuff for Lake Ontario salmon no good here. Sutton flutter always kills it. Some days fast 2.5, some days slow 1.5. So thats where that comes from !!!!!. I have had 4 fish on at once lots of times .If fish ain't a bitten. I get out the old seth green rigs and stackem up with sutton 71 ,35, 22. Drag lead on bottom gets every time. There all you guys got my secrets. HaHa That why they call it fish'n not Catch'n. Ive have won the derby before to not braggin just sayin
