Howdy all,
Sounds as if I need to give the green Spin Dr's a try on Owasco. I'm curious though, Ray said in another post that he often does not mark fish. If that's the case, are you fishing a temp. ? or right on the bottom, or just winging it ?
Thanks- Rusty

Its a deal,

Ray,
I have one of these 20 hp models (on the left w/o transom adapter) I'd trade for a day of fishing.

Ray,
I still have the '02? Merc 9.9 with forward controlls and electric start. I also have that hinged mounting bracket thing. $800 should do it.

Way to go, how many little guys did you let go unitl you 'pulled the trigger ?

Beautiful !
NY hunters would see plenty of those if the DEC managed for quality not quantity. It would be great for the economy, but until then- spikes beware !

The lake trout fising there is usually pretty good. I've had good luck trolling black/silver spoons and stick baits at depths where I mark the fish.
Good Luck-

Good Luck

Howdy all,
GFO and I are considering a trip to the Big O for some bass fishing. My experience has been either red hot or ice cold with the bronzebacks on the Lake.
Anyone been targeting these fighters that can help us decide weather or not to make the trip. ?
Thanks- Rusty

Tom B,
Thanks for the vote. After a fitful morning I finally found someone who gave me the info I needed. Seems the install instructions give a replacement cable part number that has been discontinued (moorse). I think I have the right cable en-route.
Please tell me this adventure is worth the trouble, and that the AP will do the steering while I reel in fish, and change lures, etc !
Thanks again, and I hope U stop getting zapped.

Thanks again-- Rusty

Hank,
Thanks for the info. My main question is regarding the placement of the compass unit. The instructions state that if the boat is metal, it must be mounted on a pole 3'-7' above the deck. The boat I'm putting it on is aluminum, which is metal. Does that mean I need to mount it on a pole ?
Also from scanning the instructions, I think I'm gonna have to put in a different steering cable. I hope that i$ not a$ much of a job a$ I think it$ gonna be.
Thanks again hank- Rusty

Howdy All,
I bought the auto pilot I've been wanting for quite a while. The salesman I talked to on the phone said "It's easy to install". Looking at the directions, I discovered that he was in fact a true salesman. Doesn't look easy to me at all.
Do any of you folks know someone who has installed one before, and could install this one in my 196 Starcraft Fishmaster ?
Thanks for the help

hOWDY ALL,
Am I missing it somewhere, or are there no reports of day ! of the Niagra pro am ? I'm dieing here 'cause I couldn't make it this year, and I really want to know how things are going., especially after last weekend.
Any clues ? Thanks - Rusty

Howdy all,
I'm gonna throw down for the AP14R for my 196 Starcraft Fishmaster. I intend to use it for trolling. Is this a wise decision, and is there anyone around who can do the install ?
Thanks- Rusty

Thanks Chris

Howdy All,
In a recent issue of Great Lakes Angler, I saw a little article/ad for cowbells that attach to the downrigger cable above the ball.
Now I cant find the magazine, and I'm too cheap to buy another copy.
Anyone read the same issue that could perhaps forward the info on how to contact the company that sells these items that I can't live without ?
Thanks in advance for the help

Howdy all,
A buddy of mine who has become addicted to this silly passtime we call fishing has arrived at the level where he thinks he needs a boat.
He's looking for a 16'ish open aluminum boat with a tiller steer outboard on a trailer.
His level of addiction ? He caught a 300+ lb Goilath Grouper in Key West in '06. The 6 foot fiberglass replica arrived in his driveway last week.
Where the heck do you hang that ?
Thanks for the help

tcooll,
I know the white jig thing was working at the end of last season. I dunno about the spring. The trick is to use a heavy enough jig head 3/4 to 1 oz and keep the boat stationary.
Good luck Rusty
