    Nice!!!

    You can get a lot of boat for little coin on later model carvers. The ones that I have been around have had issues with the fly bridge flooring getting soggy and need repair/replacement. Can't offer any other advise.

    I would have to say after losing 2 or 3 balls, you might have considered you might have been doing something wrong with your termination???? I tie a trilene knot to a termination swivel....no break-offs. If Tom Burke is using something....I tend to pay attention.

    The flea/braid issue is not that big of a deal. I just flick the line as it is coming in on the rigger and/or run the line thru my fingers. I have converted. I would agree that fish might be attracted to the hum of cables. I replaced one rigger with braid to try it and that rigger was always silent. The outdown next to it with steel cable caught fish 10:1. But after listening to the underwater acoustics of the wire cable hum on Capt. John King's website, you realize how obnoxious and loud the hum is in the water. What if older/bigger fish have learned to avoid the noise....esp. in ports that are pounded regularly? So this year I went all-in with braid and noticed now my center rigger started producing again and my fish were bigger. Experiment still in progress. If you are going to do it, replace all the rigger cables to braid IMO.

    Browns may be on the bottom in close feeding on gobies. Try there.

    I will be competing next year once again BECAUSE of the no communication events. I would like to see the events take the no communication rule one step further......do away with the required GPS coordinates of where fish are caught rule. Who cares where the fish are caught in Lake Ontario???? By having those coordinates out there after day 1 scores, there are too many eyes on those score sheets to effect day 2 scores. Who cares if you want to fish in Canada. If you want to burn the gas, get canadian licenses...good for you, it will spread out the field and give us all more room.

    Nice boat...I like it's features. Made for fishermen. I will ask around for you.
  10. Gill-T
    Is that boat model an aluminum or fiberglass?
  11. Gill-T
    No that is your typical fish pose face. You look like one of the "all night bottle tippers" found out there. Glad your back in the saddle again......least you can't sink while on the pier.

    Grandkids will want to see the rods moving. Go out deep to 400' and troll north. Run spoons down 20'-70' for steelhead and smaller kings. Silver and orange or silver and Chartreuse patterns. Check weather before heading out as you may be the only boat out there.

    Here is one more.....5" silver Luhr Jenson shoehorn spoon http://www.cabelas.com/product/Fishing/Hard-Baits/Casting-Trolling-Spoons%7C/pc/104793480/c/104732280/sc/104260680/Luhr-Jensen-Shoehorn-Spoon/1160398.uts?destination=%2Fcatalog%2Fbrowse%2Fcasting-trolling-spoons%2F_%2FN-1100331%2FNo-48%2FNs-CATEGORY_SEQ_104260680%3FWTz_l%3DSBC%253BMMcat104793480%253Bcat104732280%26WTz_st%3DGuidedNav%26WTz_stype%3DGNP%26gclid%3DCO7YqKeT1rkCFbFDMgodlVkAXw%26gclsrc%3Daw.ds%26recordsPerPage%3D48&WTz_l=SBC%3BMMcat104793480%3Bcat104732280%3Bcat104260680

    Northport Nailer 3.75'" Blue Mahi Glow http://www.northportnailer.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=22_24&products_id=290 Reason I like it.......it catches all species. Having the blues, greens, glow, orange and the flash of a silver cup covers almost the full spectrum of good fish catching colors in a pattern that looks realistic. I don't have to weed thru different colors "of the day" in my spoon collection to find the hot spoon when all the colors are represented in the pattern already.....and that breeds confidence. The spoon also works at the speed I like to troll at which is important (2.25 mph).

    I have two convectors that have seen two seasons......maybe 10 times in the water. One of the reel's line counter button needs to be replaced. I am upgrading to saltists and would not mind parting with both. Chad

    Was this boat slipped or trailered? Fresh or saltwater?
  18. Gill-T
    Too expensive still??? Fine, $80.00 buyer pays shipping. Going once....going twice....

    Water conditions perfect for early King action off pier. North wind blew some green lake water in to mix with the creek water to give a nice 4' visiblilty. Hooked two males on a Moonshine firetiger spoon at first light. 4 other fish caught on the usual firetiger jointed rapalas, spoons, firetiger mag wiggle warts etc. Ah Vince.....a little too close LOL. Proof of life photos. Let buddy reel in second fish....his first pier fish..(notice tuckered out forced smile).

    Thanks for the reports all year. Plan on making the trip up for the Sodus Pro/Am so I will make a point of introducing myself. Hitting the pier tonight.....Kings love wet nasty west coast-type weather when they come ashore...should be good for spoon huckin'.
  23. Gill-T
    So funny you are.....you had to say it twice.

    I believe if egg/fry/fingerling production is low with the state hatchery/altmar that they supplement their stocking with canadian fish which are then dumped into Niagara. Stands to reason anytime there is a shortfall at Altmar...three years later the Niagara run would be better in theory.
