Rick, to get mapping for Lake Ontairo and inland lakes in NY, would we need to buy two Lakemaster cards? Northeast card to get inland lakes (like Oneida of Fingers) and another Great Lakes card to get Ontario?
No the NE card will do inland and Lake O. If you want Lake Erie you need the Great Lakes card.

How much better are the brushless trolling motors?
They just started shipping in the last month or two. They certainly beefed up a lot of things on these new trolling motors. Most of which came from professional anglers, but more importantly the warranty claims on the older ones.

With an older Minn Kota you needed an iPilot LINK, but all the new Quest trolling motors in the Terrova, Ulterra, and Ultrex will do it now. For a Humminbird you will need a "N" unit, which is an Networking unit. Add a Lakemaster mapping card and you're all set. Reach out to me with any questions about this set-up. I have it on my Lund and sell them at the marina. We have professional installers as well.

I'll be stuck at the NYS boat show all weekend becasue the Niagara outdoor EXPO changed their dates last year. They moved right on top the of NYS boat show. It'll be a miserable weekend for me.

It's been a year in the making, but we partnered with the team at FishUSA to release some fresh trolling baits for Brown Trout. The Smithwick Rogue isn't anything new, but these colors have never been painted on these baits. Proven colors on proven baits. You can't go wrong!

With bay rats having been the hot ticket and now no longer a thing, what is everyone’s go to stick baits that are actually being manufactured!
Looking to stock up for the coming season and just wondered what people preferred.
Pay attention to my YouTube page Sunday night. I've collaborated with FishUSA to bring out some good Brown Trout colors in a proven bait.
That being said Bay Rats and Smithwick Rattlin Rogues (floaters) are my two go to's.

I sell both brands mentioned. We sell them on package deals (with boats), and loose. I've been in this business since the Summer of 2018 and I don't think I can fill up a hand with fingers on the warranty claims against these engines combined. To be honest the warranty claims I can remember were from I/O boat engines.
Clayton Marine sells a lot of Yamaha's. I believe you're in good hands. If anyone else is in the market for a re-power we have financing options if needed.

I think everything except the the 20lb Willie T Weights are spoken for. Thanks for the interest everybody.

I was looking forward to meeting you Yankee at the Niagara show as I need a new depth finder setup and was looking for your insight and knowledge on what to get on my megar budget and the show specials you had . Sorry to here you won't be there .
You can always reach out to me at Krenzer Marine. I wish I was going to Niagara as well, becasue I'd be around a lot more of "my kind of people," but the day job comes first.

I would add that it can be more difficult to get things running right when you mix things up. Running meat effectively highly relates to running it at the right speed so that the bait is rolling right. When you add spoons to the mix it is important to know which spoons to use so that they run at compatible speed with the bait. Often the effective running speed for meat rigs is considerably slower than that for many spoons and different also than other attractors such as flashers and dodgers. Just something to be aware of. Direction of current can also be a complicating factor.
You are way over thinking running meat. We'll run meat daily with whatever brand spoon we want. Sometimes we have flasher/fly's out there and sometimes plugs while running meat.
The nice thing about the fake meat I posted about is you can tailor the roll to whatever speed you're trolling. So don't tailor your spread to the meat. Tailor your meat to your spread.

I will be heading through Rochester on 2/15 late afternoon early evening if that would work for you.
I should be at the NYS Fairgrounds Around that time. If you can make that work I'll bring them with me.

I'll take 2 Titans. Are you going to the Niagara show? Could I pick up there?
Unfortunately, I will not be at the Niagara show. Last year the Niagara show promoters moved their show back a few weeks which put it on top of the Central NY Boat Show. I was able to sneak away last year, but this year I have to be at the boat show.

I have (5) 15lb Titan downrigger weights and (2) Willie T's pancake style downrigger weights I'd like to sell. Some have never seen water. When I emptied my boat out after it sold I found all of these in there. I clearly don't need this many.
I would rather not ship. I work in Sodus and live in Rochester. However, I will ship at the buyers expense.
15lb Titan - $75ea (Normally retail for $100)
20lb WIllie T's - $75ea

NEW Smithwick colors EXCLUSIVELY at FishUSA
in Tackle and Techniques
Posted · Edited by Yankee Troller
Nobody will be there from my marina. We will all be in Syracuse at the boat show. They moved in Niagara show last year back a few weeks and ended up putting it right on top of the central New York boat show as well as a Toronto outdoor show making people have to choose which show to go to.
Call me at the marina. I can drop ship a lot of stuff as well right to your house.
