  1. I went a little bigger last year so I'm selling this one. It's a 1989 2159 Trophy hardtop with 3.0L OMC and OMC Cobra outdrive and hydraulic trim tabs. It's a very dependable boat and served us well. Serviced by Hank (L&M) since I've owned it so you can ask his opinion of it's condition if you want. Boat runs great and everything works. Replaced lower shift cable, gimbal bearing, bilge blower, horn, all around led light, main water pump on engine, and new prop 2015. New marine radio 2016. Trailer is an Escort bunk trailer. All new leaf springs and bushings, hubs, bearings, and tires in 2015. Trailer brakes do not work but this rig is pretty light and tows easily with 1/2 ton truck. I've towed it with wife's Dodge Durango several times with no problems. I have a pair of older Walker electric downriggers that work and a handful of Tite Lok rod holders that I would include as well. Other than that, she's a blank canvas to rig as you wish. $3000.

  2. Do what it's worth...Kade & I and about 50 other boats were out this morning. Mud out to about 20' early and started to clear out late morning. Tough bite. We managed 7 browns biggest 8#. Quit at noon. All our fish came on natural color sticks and spoons. We found a small stretch of stained water inside the mud in about 8' that was holding fish.

  3. Thanks guys....I thought Kade was gonna have an ulcer by the time 3:00 rolled around. He caught that fish at 9:00 Sat morning and we came in early Sunday when the lake blew up...he certainly provided a lot of entertainment at the scales while he waited :)

  4. We mostly use 8" spin docs or echip flashers. We usually run flasher and fly set ups behind dipsey diver and run spoons on riggers...just our preference. Green, white, and silver are pretty much always a good bet.

  5. GeorgeH.....spoons, stick baits, and flasher/fly will all produce. We usually run stuff back 20-50' off riggers. Speed anywhere between 2-3 mph...vary your speed and fish will let you know what they want.

  6. Kade & I made a quick trip to Cayuga after work and took my dad along. We haven't fished Cayuga much this year as Kade has become more interested in chasing Kings on Ontario. Got on the water around 5:30 and were pretty busy with lakers and cookie cutter atlantics. Had 4 dipsey rods out and 4 rods on the riggers and all were firing. At around 7:30 I just happened to look as one of the rigger rods did a 360 in the holder and WHAM rod tip in the water with line screaming out. Kade was on it in a flash and no sooner got the rod in his hands and the fish was airborn. After several drag peeling runs and acrobatics, got it to the net. Quick pic and back in the water. Keep in mind when looking at pic, Kade is now 5'8". Hope we can find him again in 3 weeks :)
