From the picture I'll say Coho Here's a nice ID reference guide: SalmonTrout-LakeOntario2012.pdf

Checked my Navionics chart: The closest point to the Canadian border is 17.7 miles from the Oswego light (bearing 127*) It gets deep quick out of Oswego, you hit 500' around 6 miles and see 600' at 8.1 miles from the light so you should be good

I had a couple of rod holders that the clamp bolt started to show rust and Cisco replaced the bolts under their lifetime warranty. They said it was problem with a batch of bolts they had received from a supplier that year, give them a call I have a total of 15 Cisco rod holders on 2 boats that I had purchased over several years and this only happened on a couple of them so far

I've never been a fan of the cradle type rod holders because they have limited use just for dipsies and the rod butts end up sticking into the boat I do have Cisco tube rod holders and I just pick the dipsy rod and holder straight up to remove the rod, same as you would with any ratchet type holder. My Cisco's are 7 years old and still look brand new

Here's a post form GLA that compares the s1000 to the Lowrance, hope it helps http://www.glanglerforum.com/forum/showthread.php?23208-Autopilot-suggestions I has a s1000 and it would drop out at slow speeds when it lost it's mind if the GPS didn't send new info soon enough Not a problem now with my TR-1 because it relies on a heading sensor for info and it's much quicker to react. There is a limit for every auto pilot when you're trolling slow in windy conditions because at lower rpm's the motor doesn't provide enough thrust to steer against the wind and currents all the time, That's when bags help because you're running higher rpm's to maintain speed plus the stabilizing effect of the bags.

You should be Ok as long as the cavitation plate is under the water far enough so the prop doesn't ventilate. On your main motor you need to have the cavitation plate even with the bottom so that when you are up on plane it stays in the water. When running a kicker you are never up on plane so it doesn't need to be set as low. Like Spike says, wave action may cause the kicker prop to ventilate when the boat is bobbing up and down a lot but this isn't usually a big problem.

People are like fishing hooks, some are sharper than others.

I believe it says: "A man never stands so tall as when he stoops to help a child fish." If I'm correct it looks like you missed a "space" before child but either way the statement is true!

The two I'm familiar with are the Salmon Slam out of Sodus with Project Healing Waters in August http://www.lakeontariounited.com/fishing-hunting/topic/50956-sbhw-salmon-slam-august-1st-2015/ and the Wounded Warriors event out of Fair Haven http://www.lakeontariounited.com/fishing-hunting/topic/51638-fair-haven-all-aboard-weekend-wounded-warriors-and-special-needs-kids/?hl=%2Bfair+%2Bhaven

If you want even less work look at a propane stove, just turn on the switch and no ashes to clean. With propane down to $1.69/gal it's not too expensive either.

If you are willing to drive to Sodus you can try Arney's Marina http://www.arneysmarina.com/boat-rentals/ If the lake is too rough you can always fish the bay

Warren's in downtown Sodus Point http://www.soduspointbaitshop.com/

Usually have both in the water till the fish tell me they have a preference. Each has their own unique action at any given speed.

I have no idea how much work this would involve to put it altogether but TJ has a "new" 2002 Intruder hull for sale on his website, $200 http://www.pennyanboats.com/fiberglass.htm Probably the last hull they made and never finished Depending on any other issues with your hull it might be worth looking into, TJ would probably know what it takes to do it
