Thanks for posting.  Ironically I am looking for the same.  The original watermelon lure paint came off.  I have a few other spoons that are bare as well in which paint came off.

What is the best way to prep spoons so the stickers adhere extremely well?  What chemical do I use to prep them?  Mineral spirits?  Thanks for your assistance.

John,  
 

I am  very happy with the venture commander 6000 trailer that came with my boat this year.

John,

Lake trout fish chowder was a success.  Way exceeded my expectations. 

Fished from 8-3pm.  Took my 70 year old parents and 9 year old daughter out.  Caught 16 fish.  9 lake trout, 2 black bass,  5 rainbows of which 1 was 8#.  Everyone enjoyed themselves.  Target temps were 60-90 ft down.  45 degrees at 90ft.  Fished 3 dipsys and 2 snap weights with planer boards.  Ran one dipsy with chrome spin doctor with gambler rig.  All the rest of rods were spoons - nbk, green dolphin. Orange crush, black and white, And some smaller spoons up top with crazy red and purple patterns.   Water was low at north launch.  Lots of cars in parking lot when we left as well. Got the new 2 month old boat nice n fishy and dirty.  I think I need some lessons on fileting lake trout.  My daughter wanted to keep some.  Great day on water.

Great day out there today!

Towboat will reimburse for towing charges  by marinas on lakes that they do not have a boat on.

I use 50# big game on last 20 feet between wire and dipsy.  Zero break offs since.

Thanks for sharing the pictures and the insight to your successes!!

Nice boat!  Good sign that you caught a fish right away!

Glad everyone is safe.  Thanks for sharing to remind us to be prepared at all times.

Cool story.  Makes it sound too easy!  I am looking forward to trying the gambler rigs.  I just bought some recently.

I just saw your private message.  Thanks for the kind gesture.  I did reply to your message.  Thanks.

DirtyHooker,
Thanks for the response.  Greatly appreciated. Perhaps you have given me a good reason to come up to your beautiful neck of the woods.  Currently just a little too far based on my schedule the next few weeks.

Here are A few questions If you have a moment:

Are you very happy with boat?

Is there anything you found as a surprise both positive?
or negative?

How many People comfortable fish with?

How many People comfortable cruise with?

My biggest Initial concern is whether to it will be a problem trolling and running back and forth from pilot house to deck.  Do you have secondary helm?  Remote steer?  Or autopilot?

Thanks again.

Good evening.  Does anyone own a Parker 2120 SC in western NY, central NY, finger lakes area?  Would it be possible to see the layout firsthand?  Thank you for your consideration.

Sounds like a blast!

Great photos!

Impressive!!

Good to hear positive reports on Seneca!  

John-hope all is well!

Nice report Brett!  Hope all is well with you!

Still available!

Sorry to hear!  Best wishes on getting boat fixed quickly.   Some people have no brains!  Hope they are caught.

Thanks for the post.  Great to see some good news on Seneca.

Thx for your inquiry.  I will give you a call late morning /early afternoon.

Dave
