Great job Anthony

Great pictures Skiener !

I have been known to take chances but that would be way out of my comfort zone.Try open seat/trade a trip section. There is always people with extra room(especially with a few bucks for gas)

Great first Steelhead.We have been catching or best Kings on Dipsy Divers.180-220ft. On braided.160-200ft.on wire.This has been my best setup lately.Good luck and hold on tight.

Yes Dewey that was me at the dock that told you to run the Tohatsu.I would try the new solenoid but my guess is your starter is bad. Hopefully that is all.That was a lot of smoke when you jumped it.You can take the starter off and probably have it tested at auto zone for free.There are a few places around that rebuild starters as long as the winding's are not cooked.I would check the inline fuse also to make sure it isn't corroded in there.If you have tried the old starter trick of tapping the starter you could have broken the magnets and it could be stuck to your winding's.Some of the outboard starters the magnets are epoxied to the outer case,and easily break when tapping on the casing.Good luck and get it fixed while the fish are still comping at the bit.I saw a 1984 50 hp Force not sure if it would be the same as yours,on Rochester Craigslist for $150.00 with controls.Not running, no spark.It could be a good parts motor for you or you might be able to put your power pack in it and run it.Here is a few ideas hope something works for you.

Glad you made it out.We got a late start saw you at the dock trying to get your main motor started.At least you salvaged a beautiful day on the water.Good luck with your motor.

I feel lucky I was only extorted for $95.00 from NYC and $125.00 US federal Gov.While Striper fishing at Great Kills NYC Memorial Day weekend.$95.00 for parking overnight in the park.$125.00 for having commercial plates on my pickup.Apparently Commercial plates are not allowed on National Recreation areas.They didn't even hold my boat hostage.What a bargain.Our Government is much better. lol I guess next year we will get a slip.My friend payed $50.00 for a permit to launch there.Which he had to show them his registration for his truck and boat and he got the same tickets. Our Governments sure are hard up.

Get your tracks plenty long.It will give you more versatility.If your dipsys are to close to your riggers you simply slide them forward and adjust it up a little.Your net holder will fit in the track.You can put adapters on your tite loks to fit the tracks.Your triples look like they may even fit in tracks.Thats the great thing about the tracks you can mix and match, take out add without putting more holes in your boat.With the tracks you can have rod holders where you enter and exit your boat loosen a couple of thumb screws, push them out of the way get in slide them back where they were.You can even put step pads in the tracks for getting in and out.Here is the best price I found for Bert's Ratcheting rod holders.They have what ever you need for tracks.http://www.franksgreatoutdoors.com/cata ... id/150365/

Tracks are 3.75" wide, holes are 3" on center.

Went on our annual Raritan Bay Striper trip.Fishing was a little slow,7 Stripers in 3 days.Quality was good 18 to 26 pounds.Here is a picture of my friend with a 23lber.Caught several Blues,Sharks,Rays and a 44in. eel.

1987 Johnson 88 spl with controls. Good running motor,good even compression. No trim and tilt. $1000 firm. Have it set up on a stand can run with muffs.

I have EZ steer it has always worked great for me.I have always have used it on older OMCs

Looking for feedback on Springfield taper lock base or should I just get standard Big Jon base.

Tim did you forget this is Seneca Perch your talking about. :lipssealed:I don't even think Seneca has Perch. lol

5 Shimano Speedmaster reels Sun faded but good working reels.Good drags and clickers.2 ball bearings 5.2-1 gear ratio.Line cap. 14lb. 480 yds. 17-400 20-300 $38 each shipped.All 5 $170 shipped.$30 each if picked up.ATOM-MIK .037 copper 300' and 400'$60.00 shipped.

I got the wire in today it sure seams like nice stuff.It seams like it is going to be more forgiving than uncoated wire.I have used wire for a few years now. I have good luck with it but by the end of the season it looks like a slinky.It got much better when I put the twilly tips on my rods,but I still get kinks aka a-holes and looks like a giant spring by seasons end.I have tried a couple of different brands always have used good swivels and every spring it whines up in my garbage can.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Maybe you could use the inexpensive pedestal risers mount one in each of the back corners.With 2x6 over the motor.With riggers and rod holders on it.Eye bolts threw your oar locks .Run cables from your eye bolts using snap hooks to the 2x6 going up the sides of the boat.Cable will steady the board and help keep you in the boat while setting lines and fighting fish.Use large c shaped vise grip claps to attach pedestal base to corners.Can take off easy when not in use or trailering. Overtons has 13 " risers for $19.99 each.

Nice burbot.

I agree I have a Cutco fillet knife by far the best knife I have ever owned.A lot sharper than that Wizard character LOL .I use to work with Scott good guy haven't seen him in a while.

http://www.overstockbait.com/SevenStran ... -27wnf.htm For $78.95 for 5000ft. I will take my chances.Sorry I got the last spool.They still have some good deals on Stren fishing line.

Glad you found something in your budget. Hope it works out for you and your family.My first boat wasn't exactly a fishing boat. But I caught a lot of fish out of it.

I was wondering if anyone has tried this for wire dipsy set up ? Sevenstrand by sevalon. This braided 27lb. wire features 7 strands wrapped tightly together and coated with nylon making it durable and extremely flexible.Was thinking of trying it with a roller rod.Any thoughts or experiences with this would be helpful. Thinner than mono of the same lb. test.

I ordered the 798c SI is on its way .With the price of gas. I might be doing more Walleye fishing On the small lakes. I thought the side imaging may work well for running planer boards.Does anyone know what the Navionics Bundle that it comes with consists of.Thanks Sean
