  1. With the purchase of a single engine craft this year, we bought the boat us package and added the highway towing option a week before I lost an axle on the highway 50 miles from home. Save 660 bucks. Roughrider out [ Post made via Android ]

  5. Excellent intel guys, thanks for the heads up Flashpoint , Ray, and the rest of the fellas here. Would of loved to be there 10 years ago but only learned of it about 5 years ago and it is falling off, I noticed alot less fish this year and boats concentrated in one or two spots. Gonna finally get the big boat out after trailer woes 2 weeks ago. I see people trolling newburg to west point but never see them catch anything. Hot area everyone is fishing is cornwall to cold springs lately. I am 110 miles from river in Pa. See some of you at the big lake later in the season. Staying at the Oak 1st. week of august. One more striper run this weekend. roughrider out.
  6. Fished that area Tuesday, most bites on east shore just above cold springs off the eastern flat then cross where river opens up. Roughrider out [ Post made via Android ]
  7. I finally noticed some of the guys posting for the hudson, I can add that I fish out of newburgh about 10 days a season. We use strickly bloods on linecounters with the bait cliker on and bail open with circle hooks. When we hear clicker running we close bails quickly and they really start screaming then! We did 10 fish Tuesday with over 20 bites.I really would like to get some info for trolling for these fish. I tried once with no results. Any techniques for this I would appreciate. Any charters guys out there looking for trolling clients let me know. I will be up sat,Sunday this week. Roughrider out [ Post made via Android ]
  8. Got 4 new leafs, bolts, light unit, fender repaired , new tire and galv wheel for 80 bucks after insurance payment. I also had the boat hauled on a flatbed 50 miles home after accident and it was covered on my US boat insurance. A free tow. Best insurance I ever bought. I highly recommend the 65 dollar investment.

  10. Anyone ever experience a leaf spring crack in half while traveling? I've been a boater for 35 years trailering a lot of places and today was the first I had to have a boat towed home. Left rear on double axle broke in half and dropped back behind the lisence plate at a 45 degree angle. A hell of a mess. Trailer is a 2000 loadrite 5700lb cap. with a 20ft grady on top,.nowhere near maxed out on weight. The crack was rusted on the edge so it was probably cracked for a while and finally seperated under the u bolts. Is there a torque spec for these u bolts? Thanks for any insight.

  16. Looking for a dry spot to drop my boat during the season in the area from mexico to Fair haven. Would rather not trailer the boat if I can park it somewhere safe. Boat is a 20ft grady overnighter. Thanks for any tips. Roughrider out .
  17. Rigging my boat for trolling next spring and would like opinions on hooking up riggers,depthfinders, accesories to 2 batteries with a perko switch. I'm running a 140 suzuki 4 stroke too troll with and no kicker. I figure to use one battery for these and the other for the main engine. Which position do I put the perko in while fishing or running? I would think both while I'm fishing and running. Thanks for any help. Roughrider out [ Post made via Android ]
  18. What would you consider the best transducer degree angle for lake ontario? I'm looking at a raymarine unit with 50/200. I read where this would be for water deeper than 500ft. thanks roughrider out
  19. Looking for new or excellent condition 2 riggers and an X4 for a combo price. roughrider out.
  20. Ok, except for a fruitless trip now and then, I am getting back into this game after sitting it out since early 90's. All this equipment is screaming at me to get it wet again. I'll be with another person most off the time and 4 rods will be used. I have wire dipseys, leadcore, in-line boards and downriggers. Never used copper. I usually drop down 2 riggers with a flasher one side and 2 dipseys. I will need a down-temp unit as I have not seem my Ray jeff in a long time. Thanks ahead for any tips you guys can throw my way.
