2 @ 50 size 4 @ 60 size $100ea The 60 size can hold up to 400' of copper. The 50 size is good for 10 colors of lead. These reels were used for one season, and the original boxes are still available. I'd prefer not to ship. I work in Sodus, live in Rochester, and fish at the Oak. I can be flexible on pick up. -

You have two options. You can get a single battery that's 24v, or go with two 12v batteries in series.

I sell Pro Guide at Krenzer Marine. What purpose are you looking to use them for, and for what voltage (12,24,36)?

Be careful putting the weight of 3 lead acid batteries and a trolling motor in the bow of that rig. It will affect the bow lift/ride. This hull design was constructed 20+ years ago, and these trolling motor options weren't "a thing." If you want to go 36v to take advantage of the run time and thrust I'd suggest going with 1 36v Lithium, or 2 in parallel, to run a 36v trolling motor. I also have 24v lithium options as well to keep weight down. Lithium batteries aren't cheap, but they have a longer life expectancy, and offer better power throughout the a charge.

Small world.... -
We sell quite a few Robolo's and most stay here on Lake Ontario. The new 25 and 27' models offer more room in the back, which is nice for our style of fishing. If you're looking for something new stop in and see me at Krenzer Marine. -

Do they still make Wolverine Silver Streak spoons?

FishUSA has them - Silver Streak -
I have been using shotcut with the help of YouTube tutorials. I find I just don't use it enough to remember how to do the simple stuff. I really liked Windows Movie Maker, but it was pretty basic.

Downrigger humm
Yankee Troller replied to seeyawader's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Theories on "the humm" are just that with no scientific data to back it. Like most things in our sport. Switching to braid definitely gets rid of the humm, but the main purpose is to fish deeper with less blowback. 150lb braid vs 150lb cable the braid is thinner. -
Congrats to Screamer (PRO) and Howl at the Sky (AM) for their win this weekend. A huge thank you to everyone that fished this weekend. It was a great turnout, and great to see everyone. We'd like to thank the companies who sponsored the event. FishUSA sent over a bunch of their Flagship trolling rods and hats. Shark Cannonballs USA sent over downrigger weights and snap weights. A-Tom-Mik Mfg. sponsored our big fish prizes. Lastly, the winning teams enjoyed their victory dinners at the Black North Point Breeze We also want to thank the volunteers who helped run the event. Craig Hajecki at weigh master, Chris LoPresti and Rob Westcott for documenting weights, and Robert Songin for pre checking coolers. Last, but not least, thank you too Dawn and Lynne for setting up the tent and scales each day. They're from the County tourism department and promote our fishery and charter businesses.

Tough question to answer. I'd go with a single 400-500' copper rod and run it down the chute so you can adjust how much is out if you really want to get into "junk line" fishing. However, the first thing I would do is master a 4 diver set-up.

That's an updated X4D system. Parts shortages have held that up.

Do you have a link?

Nice fish bro -
June 6th @ the Irondequoit Bay Game and Fish club Steve Hurst and the manager for lake Ontario will be there to answer our questions on the fishery. Meeting starts at 7pm.

We're a big fan of Black's downrigger releases. We use them almost exclusively. However, when fishing Lake Trout and Brown Trout we'll utilize the loop on the top of the Black's release and put a tethered release through it. Something similar to this, but in a Scotty.
-
You have to keep the rod tip pointed down, and it gets even more important the closer the board gets to the boat. I tell my customers if the Stbd board fires point it low and towards the Port boards. You can sweep sideways to gain line if you need to.

This bloater experiment has been going on for a few years now. Has anyone ever seen one in stomach contents? You can't make fish eat these when they've been conditioned to hunt down what's been there. These do not help the Salmon fishery in any way. Which I'll say again, draws the most money/attention to this fishery. You want to experiment with a species? Figure out how to make the Coho fishery better/more consistent. I haven't met an angler who doesn't love that fishery when we have good years of it.

What a giant waste of time and money IMHO. The food that our Trout and Salmon eat in Lake Ontario are Alewife, Smelt, Emeralds, and Gobies. Gobies need no management at this time. The others could all use help, but we get excuses when we bring up trying experiments to help those species. Typical government BS. Let's put money and effort towards something no ones probably gonna ever see in the stomach of a Lake Trout, which by the way is the least attractive fish people come to Lake Ontario to fish for.
