Brand new in box $50 , they are $79 online  ( pickup in Olcott or you pay shipping) We got it and then found out we had to get the much more expensive bracket cuz we had a 110 lb thrust bowmount. Guys I ordered it from would not take it back...

Went west to start. Running same basic speeds and program as last trip. After a quick fish had trouble so went shallower then headed out. Hit fish in 150 on all 3 riggers, turned due to building waves and headed east in 150 continued to take sporadic fish on riggers, could not get divers with small flasher and spin n glo or flies to go so switched to spoons behind divers. Divers began to take fish and deep meat rigger started working. Short cores on boards took only 1 fish. 5 man box of Coho and a few Kings by 11:30.

Ditto on that spoon on 5 color yesterday. Tomorrow will be a different story...

Fantastic! What a way to show a kid how people can work together to surmount difficulties and how persistence and flexibility eventually put you on fish. That day should be on a brass wall plaque for all fisherman to remember. Way to go!!

Solid condition , not pristine. Make an offer. Pickup in Olcott 

Ran west at 2.0 to 3.2 gps in 50-90 fow with a screen full of fish from 30’- bottom. Boat traffic was significant.  Riggers 30,40,70 down, slidediver down at 30-60, dipsy at 40-60 down, 8 and 5 color off big boards. Deep meat rigger went zip, 2 driveby hits on both spoon and flasher divers. Got a box of 1 King n rest Coho on spoon riggers and spoon cores on the boards. Bite seemed to disappear at around 10:00am for us.

Sold pending payment

yeah.. uh never seen a 47 with the counter over the spool - theyve been off to the side for years and years so.. 

I'll post pics when I get back to Olcott. Not new looking but rock solid reels. Buyer can meet me or pay shipping. Thanks. 

Best of luck- you have a good attitude!

Way back I used to put a dipsy bottom on slidedivers and fastened with a small screw, then they dived exactly like a dipsy but were cumbersome to adjust

I use a dive rate of between 2 to 2.5 to 1 for SD’s.  The charts aren’t accurate at all.  Another thing you can do is to convert your SD numerical numbers to match the dipsey numbers for weight movement then use similar numbers you would for a dipsey.  SD’s tend to run shallower for me.  Hope this helps.

Yep, what he said..., 

Strap diver to rod seat with Amish Velcro strap. Wrap leader around reel and use hair zingy through swivel to tension leader end by wrapping around drag or line counter etc. simple and keeps tension on wire which is critical- Never undo anything that will have to be redone to fish UNLESS necessary

I will preface this as I believe Lake Ontario United is a resource for fishermen to ask questions and help each other catch fish. There are many great Captains who could flood this site with advertisements and links, but is that what we are really looking for? Most of us who use this site are not looking to book a trip, we are trying to utilize the resource to educate ourselves to produce results on the water. Lake Ontario United is a great site with awesome members, hopefully it doesn’t become a marketplace.

Well put

Even though we are friends, the lack of spoon versatility was going to cost 1 star off your Google rating....Except, every time I suggested a spoon color change, a rod fired, so your 5 star rating was intact.....Until, no rag to wipe hands which was a nuisance as kept wiping on my pant legs so 1/2 star off....Until, I stopped at Country Sweet on the way home to pick up Wings, (best around IMO), and they almost tossed me from the store before giving me some wings as they claimed the potent fish smell on me was bad for Chicken wing sales so another half star off.....Sorry Andy.

I'll promise to pack some rags for the next trip

Duly noted and amended 

Picked the big Crestliner up at L&M (Hank's) on Friday after a long winter for that boat and  started organizing things in the afternoon but wife came home and wanted to sit in the sun and have a beer so... Anway, boat ran like a top, but I had forgot to put my spoon pads in the boat so all we had were the ones that were still on the rods. All's well when your'e with friends. I also forgot to toss any fish rags in the boat.

Nice work gents. I decided I wanted fish fry so I stayed off Lady O. 

Well done! I'll fish for them all day with a couple ultralight rods. Still over 8 lbs of walleye fillets in the freezer though... 

Well done!

Reel Doc and Traveling man joined me for some fun fishing/ shakedown mission with the big Crestliner today. Fished a lil East in 90 -100 fow with riggers at 50, 60 n 70 down. Slide divers down 35-45 . 8 and 10 colors w/ spoons  off big boards and a 300’ copper w/ jointed rapala down the chute. Mostly spoons on other stuff + a ‘joelagreca’meat rig/flasher combo on 1 rigger.Surface speed: 2.5-3.1. All presentations took fish. Mostly kings today with a few pushing into the 20#s . Nice day on the water with old friends

Well done gents!

Worked East of Port in 70-90 FOW. Ran riggers 60-30 down , 10 color & 7 color off big boards, Slide divers down 30-45’. Spoons were on all lines. Varied surface  speed from 1.7-3.0. All presentations took fish. The 3 guys boxed out with a nice mix of Kings and Lakers.

I have a suspicion that a lot of fish have followed the smelt run into the Niagara system. 

I drifted the river some Thursday, especially before and  then out past the coast guard station. Marked some fish but not much bait. Continued my search to the green can and then on out to the red can marking a few fish but no bait. Caught 1 laker drifting emeralds.
