  1. not sure of the trailer setup, but have you tried to "drive" the boat on, then maybe all you need is a hand crank or two to finish. I had a 24' and it drove on a bunk trailer very nice, now with a 19' its a piece of cake.
  2. recreational fisherman, and Lowrance products have worked great for me fro 35 years
  3. found this on Great lakes Fisherman site. http://www.fishcrack.com/fishing-101-how-to-tie-the-fg-knot-strongest-and-thinnest-knot-for-braid-to-mono/
  4. Dan K was a big part of last years seminar in Niagara Falls. He talked about the SWR. I ran it last summer a few times and yes fish were landed, not at smoking rate, but it does work
  5. I understand the dive bomb setup, now tell me what is a dive bomb, any pics?
  6. do thru hull work on aluminum boats?
  7. Just FYI stuff http://ontariomarinas.notjustfishing.com/lake-erie-marinas.shtml
  8. video http://www.fishdoctorcharters.com/videos/video3F.html
  9. why do we call it a pair of pants, when there is only one
  10. that does work as well, but it's harder to tell if you in contact (constant) with the bottom. So far I haven't lost a ball.
  11. I usually just run a spoon because the drag of the rod creates a lot of commotion. I set the spoon about 4-5' back of the ball, and right at the ball so it's right in the action.
  12. It also kicks up small critters (bait) on the bottom, gobbies, crabs etc
  13. I have smacked others as well into a hit
  14. Yes and I have yet to snag it, I started with a 4' piece but found that the 2' works fine
  15. A bunch of years ago I started doing this and it was catching fish. The problem was that it was reeking havoc on my rigger with all the bouncing. So as the saying goes their has to be a better mouse trap. Here is what I made and the bouncing really settled down because now it's more of a drag than a hit, bounce, hit, repeat. I drilled a hole in the bottom of the ball about 2" deep then ran a 1/4" tap into it. Took a 24" piece of 1/4" threaded rod with epoxy and screwed in in. Ran a jam nut down to the ball to keep it tight. Works like a charm and my rigger likes it too! I tried it just by dragging it across the lawn on a piece of rope and you can see how nice the ball sort of lays down but never actually touches down.
  16. I love the Marciano mate "IT'S A SCREAMER!!!!!!!" every time they get one one
  17. not worth shipping. for $30 it's firm SOLD
  18. went to Buffalo State Park (small boat harbor on L Erie) this morning. Caught about 60 perch in 2.5 hours. It was a lot of fun even though the biggest one was maybe and I say maybe 6"...all still swimming
  19. Seagates here too, 2 of the 50 series and 2 of the 60. Loaded with Blood Run 32#
  20. yes you do, perch about 2 miles off Sturgeon Pt and eyes about 4+. It's not the walk distance it's all the ruts from 4 wheelers. I do see guys walking to the perch, but to the walleye, WOW that would be tough.
