The night bite has been good.In two night trips my friend and I have gotten 3 northerns 2 bass and 11 walleyes.the largest northern was 9 or 10lbs.otter 2 were maybe 3or4lbs.The walleyes have been nice eating size2.5 -4 lbs average largest being 7.4lbs.The bite is best after 11pm.

Hawkeye I also have a 19.5 Sea Nymph I have the 101lbs.thrust Minn Kota Terrova on it with the auto pilot.I wouldn't fish the Niagara without it.The auto pilot really helps with boat control.The 101 has enough power to turn up stream to get snags out with out having to fire up the main engine in most drifts.My friend has the 80 pound on his boat which is about the same size and also does very well.We have also used it Walleye trolling and it worked great it's nice to be stealth in the shallow water.I have not tried it on the Big Lake yet but am looking forward to trying it on a calm day for trout and salmon.It's a big investment but it can really enhance your fishing experience.

It wasn't bragging I was hoping to save a LOU member 2or 3 hundred on a great motor and make some $ for my self, I did say make me an offer?I didn't realize this was a non profit website.

Sorry if you think I am unreasonable 6 months of unemployment can do that to you.Sorry if I put my family first.

Salmonite on your profile I see your occupation is investments.

Sorry my family is getting a little sick of fish and venison.

As a heart attack I have 3 terrovas 80/AP/US2 54" 60" 1 55/AP/48" If I don't sell them I'm going to get a bunch of solar collectors and batteries and make a "green fishing boat" and maybe Obama will pay me to fish.Make me a good offer I know I can get top dollar on Ebay.

I see your not getting a lot of input here,so i'll give you my 2 cents because that's what it is worth.I have had a boat that I put an auxiliary bracket on and now I have a boat I put the kicker on the transom.I like it better with the auxiliary bracket.I used a omc bracket and they are the best bracket I have seen and very user friendly.I use the easy steer and it worked better with the motors further apart.I don't know if the CMC bolts in the same holes as your old motor holes but you mite run into trouble moving your main engine over,with your steering,and would be worried about putting more holes near your old holes and weakening your transom it's an older boat.The boat I have now I put the kicker on the transom the person that had it before me must have had it on the transom also because it was scared up.That's one of the reasons I put it there after using the boat a couple of times I ran in from off shore and my kicker just about fell off the transom being a little rotted from people including me putting it on with the" death grip."I have it reinforced now but next winter I'll have to redo my transom and will be putting my OMC bracket back on.At least with a bracket you can put near the corner of the boat were it is stronger .I hate to make more holes but I think it's better.As far as off setting the weight I have always put kicker on the passenger side to offset it from my weight.Use your battery gas tank to get proper balance.Sorry for being so long winded.hopefully it will help.

Sorry I went sat. and bought every terrova they had.They are going to be Ebay bound.I have been out of work and need money to support my bad fishing habits.

Landshark it's good to see you on a ice fishing site on this side of the boarder(ah).lol.

My friend Bob and I fished The Niagara river yesterday.We caught 5 Steelhead biggest 9.5lbs.While fishing the Stella Niagara drift we saw a deer that decided it would defect from Canada.It swam about 50 yards from the boat.It looked pretty tied by the time it reached the shore on the US side.This was a first for me.We went out to the Bar and got 1 Lake Trout on minnows.Slow day of fishing but a beautiful day to be out.

I have 19.5 gls. I put the Terrova 101 with 60" shaft on it and use it on the Niagara,I don't have to fire up my big motor anymore when I get snagged.That thing rips.

The one in the cooler looks like he ate a Key deer,no wonder they are endangered.

Thanks Gezijamez I know of the Lord I think thats where I got my riggers from about 10 years ago.I thought I would try here first.I should just get new riggers but I have been out of work for a while and money is getting tight.If I trailer my boat to long Island again I think I'll take my riggers off they sure took a beating,but the blues and strippers sure were fun.

That yammy sounds like a great deal they are great motors.The 4 strokes are so quiet and sip gas.With controls and elec. start, that's a steal.When I'm ready to upgrade you can help me.I'm always looking at motors on the web looking for that dream deal.I saw this it's not a t-4 but I like the looks of it.It might save you a couple of bucks.http://www.glangler.com/framepages/motorsforsale.html

Just saw this long drive 4.5 hrs for you?9.9 johnson boat motor - $350 (butler) Date: 2010-02-25, 1:53PM EST Reply to: [email protected] [Errors when replying to ads?] think the motor is a 1990 or 1991 it is in good condition and i had it running this week used it all of last year it is a long shaft come see make me and offer just bought a new motor thank you jerry call 724 496-3782 or home 724-283-8035 Pittsburgh craigslist price is right.maybe junk?

I have to agree with Chowder .I have 1990 15hp Evinrude long shaft ,in rough seas on the Big O it would grab a little air on the prop on the crest of a wave and almost swamp on the troth.It's not so bad now I have a alum. boat it rides much higher in the water.On my glass boat it would almost swamp.My Evinrude has elec. Start .That thing has run like a Swiss watch,for years and has never skipped a beat.You get the right set up with your kicker and steering and for me it has been the best investment I have made for my boat.I did what Chowder said when I installed mine. I line the Cavitation plate up with each other with my motor trimmed down and that was about perfect.But that was outboard to outboard.

SinDale I'm with you I think the last thing I would put on it is carpet.I haven't used it on a boat but I would go with frp Fiber reinforced plastic.It comes in 4x8 sheets.It's easy to work with it can be cut with a plywood blade in a circular saw just put the blade in backwards.It dose not hold moisture like carpet,and your hooks don't get stuck in it.You can get frp at Lowes or home depot.I Have only seen it there in white and yellow.If you go to Henrietta Building Supply you can order other colors.If it were me while at (HBS)I would get 1 5eights galvinized metal studs and track to reframe it,as long as it is not in contact with alum.or other metal that it could react with.Yes over a long time it may leave rust stains but it will hold up a lot better than wood,much liter than wood easy to conform to curves.You can get it in heavier gauges 18 Gauge is real nice to work with.I built a casting platform in my freinds boat and it and turned out nice and has held up great,and was much liter than using wood.For the sheeting I wood use exterior plywood the frp will keep it dry.Leave your plywood up 1/4 " to keep it out of the water the frp will cover the voids.This is just my thoughts I am sure there will be some - feed back but I have done a few boat projects and have had good results.Good luck.

Looking for Big Jon parts.I need a new base that the boom mounts to.It is worn out making the boom tilt backwards.(worn out from catching to many fish Ha Ha)Switch cover broke and end pulley broke.Has any one ever replaced the end pulley ? Whats involved.The base is the main thing I need,everything else I can get from Big Jon. (older model with 4ft. Tilt up boom)Thanks

Dose this mean your changing your user name.lol Congrats Glad your back in the game.

I would be interested in the qwikfish if they are k9 or k11s. Thanks

Fished 2/20 with two friends boated six steelhead lost two at the boat,between 5 to 9 lbs. Two Lake trout one about 9 or 10 lbs. one about 14lbs.and one Brown.Fished all day,Fishing was a little slow,but nice mix.All fish caught on Quickfish.Nice day on the water great to boat fish again.Nice to see open water instead of looking down a 8in. hole.

I don't agree with killing muskies. but it is not illegal to use perch in NY for bait as long as you count them towards your daily limit and you do not transport them by motor vehicle,and they are used in same body of water.
