  1. I'd start getting phone numbers of people in charge of tracker itself, shake the tree till someone falls out.
  2. Why doesn't that response surprise me. I've been trying to take my pension since mid November, my info has been sitting on a desk since then, called 4 times and left a nice message to see if anyone received my info via email. I finally called head of HR and asked if the woman was still actually employed there ,as I heard nothing up to this point, oh yea, she's still here, transfers me too her extension and she answers, AFTER I called her minutes before that, twice. We are busy she says, I wanted to reach thru the phone and slap her, now I'm looking at March when they told me January, and I had to resubmit my info. Sorry for rant, just seems like the American way anymore. Good luck Fleet,hope it works out for you.
  3. I've picked some up on eBay over the summer. A few available now, what colors?
  4. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  5. Used to stay at lake hope state park, lots of federal land around there. The first time we stayed there, monster bucks were hanging at 3 cabins, I saw bucks bigger than any in 30 yrs hunting pa, all in a week.
  6. You can look up cdielectronics.com , they have a trouble shooting service you can contact.
  7. By no means am I a mechanic, the motor was next to new and took it to dealer, twice. Motor destroyed itself shortly after warranty ran out.
  8. I had similar issues with a 86 johnson 70 hp vro. Power pak went bad, more than once, it would get to 25 percent speed tops. I believe they redesigned them shortly after that.
  9. If it's the mad flash series, Fish USA carries them.
  10. Brings new meaning to Break Out Another Thousand. You certainly have more patience than me, hope it turns around for you. Good luck!
  11. When I was up that way 3 years ago, I thought I somehow got on a road that was actually closed, had to travel 30 mph so I didn't wreck my trailer. I've already replaced one set of leaf springs. Won't be traveling that way again anytime soon.

    SLR 7-26

    Nice bunch of fish!
  13. I also gained speed going to a 4 blade 15 pitch from a 3 blade 18 pitch which was a long way off of top rpm for motor, like 800 rpm off. I believe the large increase of rpms gained the extra speed. I'd like a 16 pitch to try, but it's a custom size for my motor.
  14. Nice trophy Kevin, the river is a nice option to chasing them around the lake at this time of year. Great stuff.
  15. I've done the same with my bow mount, lock the kicker in place, put my electric in auto pilot, steer with that. I bolted a bigger rudder on it, then all you need is to steer it in direction you want , it holds that course, no propulsion needed. The rudder is 8 by 8 inch, one edge cut on a 45 degree angle.
  16. This is a discussion board about fishing in the New York area. I enjoy Justin's reports, personally ,night fishing I'm not interested in, been there, done that, need my beauty sleep. The secret walleye society lives on to my dismay. Just yesterday a fellow stopped me at the ramp while unloading my boat at a local lake, wanted to know how to run riggers there for lakers, I took some time and showed him some tackle, he was very thankful for the help. Great stuff Justin, ignore the haters.
  17. Only problem is Lake Ontario has limited ports using the service. It has save me over a grand in trailer issues, towing my rig home for free and delivering a mechanic to me on the highway with a new hub assembly.
  18. I also own a tiller, tough to get coverage at tiller and mid seats, I moved it forward for mid seats, but I don't troll under it. Gonna sacrifice rod room for sure.
  19. Nice week, have you ever tried Crotch lake? I've tried gull one week and thought crotch had more options to fish. 40 fish weeks for 2 people fishing like 4 hours a day, daybreak till 9am and last 2 hours of daylight on a trolling bite.
  20. Hey pap, delaware water gap hole behind the greeting center? You can't launch there anymore, ramp washed away. We got run off by Feds, only canoes now.
  21. What pap said is the method used in the st lawrance river. I was told the more they disturbed the bottom, the more they caught.
  22. Need to find the gang around Clayton that are hand lining. They are crushing eyes dragging large balls ala 3 way, in the mud in a circle, as in dragging a downrigger weight but they have a ball system on a reel retrieve set up. The more they drag the same area, the more they are catching. I just heard about this today in my local bait shop. Kevin legg might have heard about it, he lives around there. Guys are fishing around them not catching with conventional methods.
  23. Did a 3 day weekend on the Hudson, fishing has slowed a lot since Thursday, high temps bringing on the spawning up north and soon here in Marlboro. Managed a new best for me this morning, 40 inch, 30 lb fish gladly released to fight another day.
