This depends greatly on the port you fish, For the most part, 120' is the most consistent depth I have found to catch lakers most of the year. If you are marking them and not catching them, here are a couple tips to try: 1. Slow down - 1.0-1.8 ball speed is the speed for cowbells 2. change direction - some days lakers do not want to chase baits certain directions 3. make sure you are fishing within 5' of the bottom. I don't mean using your line counter to see if you are 5' off the bottom. Due to current and blow back, there are times you have 20-40' of extra cable out to hit bottom. I drop the ball until I hit bottom, lift a foot, let it settle for a minute and repeat. A lot of fish finders (especially Furunos) do not mark bottom hugging lakers well. Zoom in close and lots of times they barely show up. 4. change cowbell and spin n glo colors. I have had days that lakers will only hit on color combo. Here are my simple tips on selecting proper colors: Cloudy/ low light - glow backed cowbells, sunny or bright conditions - silver or UV backed cowbells. As for spin n glo selection, I run mostly glows and silvers. I find bright colors attract too many small lake trout and not many big lake trout. 5. temp - most lakers will be in water from 39-45 degrees. Smaller lakers are found in warmer water more often than the lake trout we want to catch! 6. If you are not using Gambler Rigs and Hammerhead cowbells, you are not fishing, you are boating!

A good taxidermist will not use the head on that laker to do the mount. Skin mount or replica, the head should not be used on the final product.

I was told when they aged our laker scales are not very accurate. Otoliths are the most accurate way. I took the head from our laker after the taxidermist took it off and got it to the DEC. The taxidermist has to be careful not to damage the otoliths when the head is removed. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Trailer is sold.

You are welcome!

Like AnglingAddict stated corrosion. My buddy just put new risers and a motor from a salt boat he bought. A well taken care of salt boat can be good but salt takes its toll.

If you buy a salt boat, expect to spend more money in repairs after purchased. If you go into it with that mindset, you will be better off. Get a reliable marine survey done.

You wouldn't like the interest rate!

Yes sir

A laker jump? That would be different!

Back on the market!

I was told it was caught on a Bayrat! I would guess 25ish years old. The 34.06 we caught in 2012 on Lake O was 27 years old.

Inquiring minds want to know!!!!

Slob lake trout. Congrats to the angler. Anyone know if he is a member here?

Gobies will not float up when they die.
