    Otter boat problems

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    We had issues getting our releases to slide on heavy mono line that came with my planer reels. ( Traxtech) Changed out the towline to #200 braid and problem solved. I prefer the Otters to run out to the side as compared to lagging back.

    Question for those that run boards, is there a reason to run them 200 feet from the boat with that much traffic.  We took all the fish off the downriggers but i spent most of the morning dodging boards.

     

    Good luck to all going this week.

    No excuse for running em that far out under those near shore conditions. That goes for charter or rec boats.   :@

    There are very few mercury dealers left in Rochester. There is Bryce Marine, but it has mixed reviews. Then there is Independent Marine services on Empire boulevard at the bottom of Irondequoit bay.

    FYI. Independent Marine does not work on outboards. 

    Best trolling reels???

    Okuma has Classic, Magda, Convector, Cold Waters. They have the most options depending on your budget. They also have high speed options.

    Check out the Convector CV30 DS on Fish USA. "Good value" for a rigger or wire reel. $84.99 6.2:1 gear ratio and free shipping. Good luck with your decision

    Gimbal rigger mounts

    As Sk8man stated earlier it's not only the strength/quality of the rod holder insert, but the integrity of the gunwale itself. I've run gimbal mounts for my riggers for 12 years now using 12 lb weights with no issues in my Pursuit. I've been on other boats using same setup and the whole gunwale flexs with the rigger. Not good long term. Big Johns are also a good choice because the arms flex with weight, taking the strain off the gunwale.IMO

    We starting seeing the dead shad toward the south end of the bay in early March. Still a lot of ice with open pockets of water. For awhile it looked like every seagull within 30 miles was having a shad buffet. 

    Can't imagine they spawn in those low water temps. More of a water quality issue I think

    Do the shad die after spawning or is it a lack of oxygen issue?  There were a bunch in the lake as well.  I don't remember ever seeing this many dead.

    Yup. The south dock took a big hit along with the one just to the north. One of those nor'easter's beginning of March. What little ice that was left on the Webster side to the north came crashing down in middle of the night. Our docks at the Game Club dodged a bullet because of Snyder Island to the north. Repairs at Sutters are underway
