Got out at daybreak on Sunday. Putting out boards just out of the launch picked up a small brown in a 47 degree patch. Headed east and water kept getting colder and clearer. Never got another hit. Fished for two hours. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United
Cleveland ny. It,s still on the trailer because I have no time to use it or check on it because of work this summer. If I don,t sell it on the trailer in a week or two I am going to see if the marina will put it in and broker it for me.

This is an older boat(1986) and I realize older boats don’t hold much value so I am asking 7500 becaus3 that,s what I have in the trailer, outdrive and electronics. I am downsizing and open to possible trade for 18 to 21’ center console of equal value.
thanks for looking,
Brian
I,m getting ready to list my bayliner 2860 hardtop in a week or two.new engine and transom in 2015. Outdrive upgraded to duo prop in 2016. All new head and plumbing last year. New ray marine radar and electronics last year. Triple axle trailer, 9.9 mercury kicker with panther remote steering. Needs new drop curtains.
Slip paid for this year.
Leadcore comes in segmented colors of 10 yds. Each. The more colors out the more line out and the deeper you are.the colors make it repeatable. 10'colors is all of it.
As a body shop owner for the last 28 years I,ll give my 2 cents, just an opinion for what it,s worth. 1) painting your boat does not put you in violation of voc laws,but you have to dispose of leftovers properly.2) I think 60 grit on an orbital is a bit rough.primer and paint probably won't fill the hook marks left. I would run over it with 180 as a final sand.3) rolling on rustoleum should work and since it,s a slow drying enamel you could roll a section then tip it with a quality brush( go over it lightly to remove air bubbles and smooth the finish) the fine brush marks will flow out , a little thinner on the brush helps. If you need anything just pm me, always glad to help a fellow LOU member.
If I didn't,t already have them I would probably opt for boards over riggers but I have never found them to be a pita.Plus it lets me fly the American flag higher on Memorial Day.
That makes sense.the boards are probably easier.on Oneida they make more sense because the mini divers don,t track to the side and the riggers give me better seperation
No problem ,my mistake, I'm trying to figure out if the out rigger clips will hold full size divers. It adds 2 lines to the spread.on Oneida a full spread is downriggers, 2 mini dipsys off outriggers and 4 boards, would like to do the same on Ontario with 2 more divers of the side.
On Oneida I run mini dipsys off the riggers and some days it,s the hot rod. Is any one using this setup on lake O and if so what release to hold the diver?
I'm trying the new ultra thin micro lead and realizing that it is too thin to use a Willis knot to join it to the mono. The mono won't go into the sheath. Anyone have a suggestion for a good smooth knot?
I would like to thank Norm(big blue) for taking the time to copy and mail out his copy of the original instruction manual for the digitroll conversions. This is why I love the LOU community and encourage anyone to join . It,s worth every penny and how it maintains this excellent site.
Thanks for all the information guys. The reason I pulled them out was because after years on Oneida I,m moving the boat back to Ontario next year . I decided to upgrade to new riggers. So the question is who wants to buy some vintage riggers with slow speed retrieve for better depth control and lightweight ball capacity for added blowback for those boat wary fish. Make me an offer.
