MAc, There's a used Islander on this site for sale. Seems like that might be just what you are looking for. Rusty

Mac, I am on my 3rd boat in about 5 years. I kept getting bigger boat disease (BBD). I started out with a boat like you are looking at. I think it had a 45 hp 2 stroke, and I was able to troll with it using bags. I also got to smell burning oil the whole trip. It was ok for one adult, two if you reall like each other and there were no seas. I went to a 17 1/2 footer. A little more comfortable, but I always found myself looking at the 20's vor more room and a better ride. I now have a Starcraft Fish Master 196. I realy like it , and it is comfortable for two serious fishermen. It has a 115 Merc 4 stroke. I troll with it exclusively. To sum it up,a I'm gonna say that you'll end up wishing you had gone bigger, and had gone 4 stroke if you buy that boat. My fishing buddy has an Aluamacraft 19' and it is a great fishing boat . Also, don't be afraid to shop used. Good luck- Rusty

Larry, I'm a novice on Cayuga, but I tried it on Thurs. I launched from Union Springs, and troled between the green can and Aurora. I picked up three lakers 100/120. Two were on a chartreuse smithwick, and one was on a chartreuse evil eye. Nothing on the green spin doctor/fly, or anything on the surface. Good Luck- Rusty

Yeah,I looked at it. I guess I'm just skeptical of reports like this circulating on the internet. I can't tell you how many emails I've recieved about this same "picture/story" only each time its a little different. Ohio, Virginia, Amish, Mormans, road kill, found by a farmer.... Like the one with he pix of the cougar following the mule deer buck. How many times have people seen that posted as " a cousin of a friend of my neighbor's got this picture on his camera near ???? county. I guess the rumors of mountain lions is over....." Like the college professors always say, - cite your sources. This one seems to be pretty vague, even though it is on a decent looking blog. Rusty

How many websites is this gonna be on ? How do you spell Hoax ? I think the Amish boy had cancer, no wait , his whole family had cancer, but their beliefs wouldn't allow them to sell the (pen raised) animal to offset the medical expenses associated with the heart/lung transplant. To quote John Stossel of ABC's 20/20- "gimme a break" Rusty

Howdy all, I was told by a respected archery shop owner in the area that the Rage broadheads are classified as 'barbed', making thm illegal to hunt deer with in NY. Is this incorrect ? or has the design of the blade changed ? Thanks- Rusty
-
Two things, both of wich I know from experience. 1) the cable from the display unit has to be connecte to the cable from the rigger. 2) The sending unit (probe, what ever) has to be submerged. It turns off automatically when out of water. Good luck Rusty

Thanks JR., What kinda line you gonna run ? I'd like to do a superbraid with about 100'of floro leader. The slide diver site also sells heavier weights to use on the diver to get 'em deeper. I hope data on those is included with the chart I ordered. I gotta get back on their site and order some tubing and spring because I left mine at camp last w/e. Thanks again, lemme know how they work for ya. Rusty

Howdy all, I dropped another $20 on fishing tackle, this time for a clear slide diver light bite. The packaging doesn't give me much info on how far these guys are gonna fish, but their web site will gladly sell me a chart for $3 +s/h. Additionally, there is no info on what line to use. I would like to get away from wire, and run a superbraid, as I think mono will have too much stretch for the gizmo. So I spent another $17 +s/h for additional weights, rings and the top secret depth chart. Anyone using the light bites ? and what kind of line works well with these toys ? Thanks- Rusty
-
Like the Guiness comercial, Brilliant ! Is the loop of wire to keep the release from sliding up the line ? Thanks- Rusty
-
Anyone seen them posted anywhere ? They're not on the LOPA site. Thanks- Rusty Why, yes Rusty, why dont you check here ? http://www.lakeontarioproam.com/challen ... dings.html

J, Don't get your hopes up for a rainbow. I think the best way to catch a 'bow on Owasco is to catch a walleye, and hope there is a 'bow inside the 'eye. I trolled/jigged Owasco one day last week and didn't do very well. I read that SirBean jigged Owasco recently, and is planning his next trip to Cayuga in hopes of finding fish. Owasco really turns on in about a month. good luck- Rusty

Howdy all, I found the spread sheet with the results. Too bad the Lake Ontario Pro Am site doesnt post the results. It would have saved alot of searching. http://olcottfishing.com/ Rusty
-
Anybody know where the results are posted ? Thanks- Rusty
-
Duh, For some reason I thought it was a Fri-Sat tournie. Go Burke, Bliss , A-Tom-ik et. al. Thanks- Rusty
-
Howdy All, Any one know the results or where they are posted ? The data on the Pro Am website looks like it is all from '07 Thanks- Rusty

Go to Seneca, Cayuga or Oswego. Owasco has been terribly slow. Rusty

Howdy all, Sunday was too nice of a day to not be on the boat. I couldn't drag my self out of bed early enough to do the Skaneateles thing, so I headed to Owasco in the afternoon. Set up in about 100', and trolled to 140'. No marks. Surface was 37*. I even tried Ray K's 'green anything rule'. I would have tried jigging for lakers, but I forgot to bring the jigs. I do have the new Minn Kota poartially installed though. On the way in I stopped at Martin's point. Saw lots of perch. I think it may be time to dunk some minnows. Rusty
