I've got this setup on a new to me boat. Should this be strong enough for a 2.5" pedestal, cannon swivel bases and downriggers? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks for the heads up. I ended up speaking with someone at Cisco. They make stuff up for Lowe's track system every once in a while. Said they can accommodate me.
I'd try jigging if you haven't already. You'll be surprised and hooked once you jig your first fish up. You should see chasers and your jig on that Garmin that you have.
Getting a new to me boat. Used downriggers before but not much. Looking for some recommendations on some decent manual riggers that will be used occasionally. Are swivel bases a must? Also are riggers better off the back of the boat or off the sides?
Lowe doesn't seem to say much about their track like some of the boat manufacturers or even seem to partner with another company regarding their track like some. Just looking for solutions as I've found very few while looking for what I need.
On another note, I already have the berts one handed ratcheting rod holders so no need to go out and purchase cannons or any others. Simply looking for track attachment options.
I'm looking to see what's out there for mounting rod holders and downriggers to a newer lowe with 90° gunwale other than traxstech and brocraft. I'm not opposed to the two brands but traxstec has no inventory for their 90° brackets. It doesn't look like cisco or berts has anything that mount to the lowe accessory track unless I'm missing something. Tracker mounts for the versatrack look like they might be ok bc they also have a 90° gunwale angle but they use a carriage bolt to secure (lowe uses t bolts). Any help is appreciated. Just searching for all options.
I like finding an underwater flat around 100 ' or so, which can be hard to find on some of the finger lakes. The wind shouldn't be too stiff otherwise my drift bags won't slow me down enough to be vertical with the jig. We'll use white jigs and plastics most times but have had success with grays and smoke shades. My fish finder is nothing special and pics up the jig and fish well. Sometimes the fish are active and want to play, other times not so much. Go get em!
I'd say your best bet would be to take some sort of craft out of the Woodville launch and fish the south end of canandaigua. Ive never fished west river though. You should be able to catch something out of the launch before the south end drops off to the deep.
