  1. There is a reason why egg take is done at a specific time. It's temperature related to produce the best eye up. Boats in front of a river, in my opinion, do very little to hurt what is running the river. Those fish have to bite to be caught in open water. There's no way to troll over to the largest fish and catch it out of the system like you can do fishing the river.
  2. The state, and towns that surround these tribs, have allowed this type of behavior since the Salmon were planted in this lake. Generations of anglers have treated this fishery with little to no respect whether it is taking fish un-ethically or leaving trash behind. They all turn a blind eye so they can make a buck. The antics that happen during this season are displayed all over social media now, and it makes it even easier to watch this compared to in the past. I know I'm on the extreme end of the spectrum, but I feel like the Salmon River, our only source for egg take, should be shut down until egg take is over. Not becasue they cant reach their quota, but becasue our best specimens and genes are being yanked out of the river every season. We see declining Salmon weights, but no one can put their finger on why. With most of the river walkable larger fish are easily spotted and taken out of the system. I'm not for closing down all the tribs during Salmon season, but the one that supports this fishery should be managed better. During this same timeframe large trout are being taken out of the system. Again, the only place they take eggs for Steelhead on the lake. Is the concern for the small towns of Pulaski and Altmar for 1-2mos a year greater than what this 12month fishery provides?
  3. We disconnect the negative leads at the marina. If it's a good battery and fully charged it should be fine over the Winter.
  4. Usually it starts Columbus Day, but it's really temperature related. Egg take at certain water temps give them a better results for eye-up.
  5. I tried to look back at previous years satellite imagery, but I couldn't find past years imagery. How did you come up with this conclusion?
  6. Next years fish. If you can get to them you may pull a few.
  7. The Amish BEEFY bags last a loooooong time. That's what we use.
  8. Correct, it's a 1993 Tiara 3600 Open. It's powered by a pair of Crusader 502XL engines. Beam is similar to the Trojan in the 13' range.
  9. What type of steering is in the boat? I'm assuming cable?
  10. Do you run a kicker? We install mechanical AP's often enough. I can help you with a bill of materials, and even drop ship those items to you.
  11. These came with a boat we purchased. There are (4) sets of doubles and (3) singles. $900 P/U or buyer pays for shipping.
  12. This unit is currently on the boat we purchased and will be coming off sometime this month. It's currently hooked to a 1kw thru-hull that I'm sure I can't save. I can help you with a transducer for this unit through the marina. This unit needs to be flush mounted unless you can find a gimbal mount for it. - $500 P/U or buyer pays shipping
  13. These items are currently on the boat we purchased and will be coming off by the end of September. The Rayamarine C 80 has a chart card in it for the Great Lakes. The radar spins up and works. - $1500 P/U only
  14. We're excited to announce we received our "new to us" boat this weekend. We chose to go a little newer and bigger. We're excited to rig this 36' Tiara Open over the Winter.
  15. It's quick. I don't have the time to sit and watch it charge, but an hour on the charger is all it needs after a day of fishing.
