  1. I see no problem fishing this solo, but I've been at this since I was 6yrs old. Everyone's skill level is different. There are plenty of videos out there to show you how to run this set-up.
  2. I'd recommend an Offshore OR12 with a Sam's Pro type Release
  3. I'd also recommend Fat Nancy's in Pulaski.
  4. Not this time of year. With all the cold water they will suspend or leave bottom to chase down a meal. This past Sunday we were fishing 60' of water and taking a lot of Lake Trout on 5 and 7 color leadcore setups with spoons.
  5. Everything seems to be fine on my end. Watched it on this forum and YouTube (phone and PC). 360 views on it and no comments about no volume. I don't know what else to check?
  6. I switch it up for the wife (even though she hates the Summer and Spring set-up ). Summer typically no facial hair. Fall I'll grow the beard in. Spring I'll rock the moustache.
  7. For insurance there are a few choices that I know about: Charter Lakes - https://www.charterlakes.com/ Venditti Agencey - https://www.vendittiagency.com/ Worldwide Marine - http://www.worldwidemarineins.com/
  8. Is the comment tally public information or do you have to be in the know? I'd love to see these comments and the tally.
  9. Sorry for your loss Nick.
  10. Brad's ThinFish at FishUSA Chinook Divers at FishUSA
  11. I have one pair left and I have PM'd reel-e-hooked about them. If he doesn't want them Humpty Dumpty you can have next shot.
  12. The way I would wire the back of that boat is to run both engines off the same cranking battery. The second battery would be considered the "house battery" and most likely a deep cycle. You connect those two batteries with a automatic charging relay (ACR). Blue Sea Systems make them along with a few other manufacturers. When the ACR senses that the cranking battery is getting a charge it opens up the relay to charge the house battery. You would hook your downriggers to the house battery. This way no matter what engine is running a charge is going into the house battery. If the DR's kill the house battery it will not effect your ability to crank over your engines. Edit: I may have read your post wrong and both engines are hooked to one cranking battery along with your downriggers. As long as your kicker has an alternator in it you'll be fine to run your downriggers on that cranking battery.
  13. Granted, I have been doing this a long time, but I regularly run a 10-12 rod spread off my Lund Baron. Time on the water helps as well as understanding where your rods are fishing.
  14. In really dirty water conditions the sound and profile of this bait has really saved our tail at times.
  15. If you want to consider Starcraft come and see me at Krenzer marine. We have some left over 2022's we're highly motivated to move. In that 16-18' range we carry the Storm and Delta models. The nice thing about the Starcraft is their rich history for starters. They are also 1 piece hulls unlike a lot of their competition. They also utilize as thick or thicker hulls than their competition. They also have a very good warranty on hull and components.
  16. This card is not able to be updated due to it's age. It's been in my Humminbirds for 8-10 years. Nothing really has changed in Lake Ontario, so it's still good, but I have purchased a new one that will give me the latest and greatest. A new one is $250. Selling this card for $100. This card should be able to be used in all the major brands except Garmin as long as they take a SD card or Micro SD card.
  17. 100% go with the 72" shaft. I rig that combo all the time here at the marina. I can get you one and install it if you'd like.
  18. These aren't brand new. They've been in use on the Yankee. The Cannon labels have faded on most, which was the biggest factor in replacing them. They aren't as tight as new ones, but not overly sloppy. Pick up in Rochester or Sodus. Would rather not have to ship, but I will at the buyers expense. Dual Axis Rod Holders - $150 for a set (2). (6 left) Downrigger Mount Dual Axis Rod Holders - $200ea (only 1 left)
  19. Good stuff! I have the platinum plus card in my HB, along side my Lakemaster, but I have never updated it. Might have to take a look at that.
