We fished out of Oswego on Saturday and Monday during the Memorial Weekend. Saturday we targeted Browns in the 20-60 fow range and caught one on Stinger Spoon. Later in the morning we slid out to 100-120fow looking for Kings and had one on and it came unbuttoned. Monday we fished from 60 to 250 fow. Had best marks 25 to 65 feet down in 140 fow. Caught one nice Steelie on a dipsey running around 50' down. Fished a spread of Stingers and Stingray spoons in the deeper water and small spoons in shallow. . It was dead calm for most of the day. Hardly any fishing boats, scattered bait pods. Anybody else have a better report?

I have 2 hydraulic cylinders…on on the kicker and one for the rudder. I switch from main engine to the kicker with a valve switch. The pump is a Up Helm unit. This system seems to be unique but it works for my boat. The only hiccup is the Raymarine autopilot that will make steering difficult due to it’s inherent design.

I am looking to upgrade my autopilot from a Raymarine XR-5 helm unit to a below deck unit. I have a 350 Chevy Inboard and an 8 hp Yamaha kicker. Hydraulic steering which has a hydraulic switch that can change the steering from rudder to kicker. 26’ Penn Yan, 10’ beam. I’m not looking for cheap, looking for reliability and longevity.

Still looking.

I use the 9’ for browns as well. However, I have a full compliment of them. Thanks for the reply!

Do you want to sell them MikeyP?

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out this weekend.

Anyone have any of these rods they would like to sell? They need to be 2 piece. I use them as downrigger rods for Kings and really like them

Fished from 175- 750 today. Had 3 bites. Two were on 400’ copper with a flasher/fly the other came on a white 12” square flasher with a glow white meat rig….no twinkies. Only got the one king on the meat rig. Marks are scarce, very scarce. I hope they show up soon!

This looks like something I’d be interested in. My 26’ Penn Yan is docked at Wrights Landing. I also fish Oneida for Walleye on a friends boat. I think we maybe able to work something out. I fish weekends and also on Wednesdays. Not sure which direction you are from Oswego but I’m just NE of Camden. I’ll call you to discuss.

Ive done that a few times. Sometimes it is productive. If you cant get onto the big lake it certainly is an option. I would rather troll in front of the Salmon river at first light. Definately more productive if the salmon are still running.
