Are people still using them or are they just taking up room in my tackle box.

To Jeanseb............... HUH???? lol

Also let me know how you do, I'm staying at the marina in 2 weeks......... .

I have heard of some really good results at Newcastle but not heard much from Darlington. Check out spoonpullers for some more reports.

Thanks for the heads up! It's a long run for nothing! I am heading to Darlington in a week and then maybe a trip to the Ducks, I'll let you know.

Heading to Darlington second last week of July and was wondering what channel to monitor on radio for info, is there a preferred channel?

Where is Nancy's and do they have online store? And thanks bigweenie, I see lots of stuff on the site.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but it's been awhile, are you using cut plug anchovies or is that another new lure I have to buy... ?

By the way, I bought a new boat and am heading out soon so need to ask lots......lol.

It's been awhile since I was last out but are the fleas still an issue? Also I'm reading post of guys using 12 pound test mono, but it was my experience that if you went to 30 pound and ran a smaller leader the fleas weren't as bad, is that true?

I am kinda limited to eastern Ontario, but has anyone used the artificial cut baits? And my smelts are only 3 inches long and very thin, but I am going to try them, I use them for lakers on the lake I live on (Loughborough Lake).

Are people using cut plug herring? Is there a place to buy it and has any one tried whiting or something similar? I've got a freezer full of smelt but I think they are too small.

Actually the boat is in great shape! But no it does not slide very well, it is my fifth boat and third stern drive but is the biggest yet! last cuddy was a 21 foot Century and it did have wobbly wheels and was a dream to load,just drive it on. This one at about one foot from the bow guide will not move even when using the winch and it has a four inch strap! The trailer has four sets of carpet covered bunks about four feet long which do tilt four ways so I was thinking of replacing them with either woobly wheels or rooller bunks but am scared to price them..... . The wheels are dual 15 inchers so I don't think there too big they are the same size as my 16 foot Campion (which is for sale by the way!!!). It was such a nightmare trying to load it last time (real busy) I haven't tried again, its sitting at my dock on Loughborough Lake, which is not where I intended to use a 26 foot boat. To bad Lake Ontario is 10 miles away!!!! I am plannig to try again and see if there's some fish out at the Main Ducks. I hope the ramp is not to busy and I have a chance to experiment a little instead of driving home with the boat a foot away from the guide!!!!

Thanks again for all the suggestions! One question I have is, is there not a chance of ripping the ring out of the bow if I get a power winch? I really don't want to get that hook and ring in the head, I'm thinkin that might hurt a bit.......... .

I am trying to locate a hinge and coupling to for my boat rail but can not find one any where. I need to be able to open and close the rail to allow installation of a bow mount motor. Any ideals would be appreciated.

Catch a 30 to 40 pound Mahi Mahi and after 30 min. fight in 85*f and you'll maybe wish you hadn't ...... LOL. But yes they are very tasty..............

====================

Has anyone been to the Main ducks yet this year? Planning a trip next week but may stop at Wolfe Island for trout.

Thanks for all the suggestions people. I am going to install guides on the sides of the trailer and I may try the slides but it is a heavy boat so not sure they will work! Nothing on the trailer is adjustable!!! I may get some wobbly roller assemblies if i decide to keep the thing.

My last boat was a 24 foot alum. and I had the same problem but it was easier to deal with as it was lighter, but you just can't move this sucker. Does anyone want a 97 seamaster ????? lol.

Ok, so I tried to load my new (used) 26 seamaster on the trailer and here's what is happening, the back of the boat floats driving the bow below the bow guide and when I pull the trailer out of the water a bit to get the back on the guides I can't drive the boat or pull it up with the winch (to big). The trailer has bunks and not rollers. Would rollers help or do I have to sell the boat as I have to trailer it to get to the big water. P.S. the ramp was not that steep and can only get worse the steeper it is.
