  1. 585-455-1792. Rochester Reel Repair. Check Brian out on FB or give him a text. He had the parts to repair mine last year
  2. What an amazing last week of summer fishing off Rochester 80+ fish in 6 days of fishing 28th - Headed way off shore and fished from the 27n-32n. Great mix of Matures, 2 year old's and steelhead. There were pods of fish scattered out there so it was crazy chew with doubles and triples followed by short lulls. Its great seeing the fish come on the panoptix and being ready to grab that rigger. Must have happened about 10 times that day. Hot Lures: Salmon candy Bam paddle with a green goblin fly (steelhead killer), DW super glow two faced and small silver carbon. 29th - Back out to the same waters but this time with a goal of getting my daughter a LOC fish. Fishing was just as good as the day before and around 11:00 I watched a bullet come across the Panoptix and attack the middle rigger. My daughter was on the rod fast and boated an 11.13 Steelhead which held out for her to win the youth division and 13th overall. 8 of the fish we boated this day were steelhead. Same spread 30/31 - No fishing 1st - Back out to the same water another great mix of 2 years old's and steelhead (No Matures). I had my other daughter on the boat looking for any LOC fish but came up short with 2 steelhead around 9lbs Same spread 2nd - Worked 60'-120' in search of stagers and browns but we had a case of the dropsies and went 1 for 7. 3rd - Evening trip with my daughter and her friends. Went after Lakers for the first hour to get the rods moving. After putting 7 Lakers on the boat we spent 2 hours chasing stagers put 3 on the boat and smiles to go around. Hammerhead cowbells with gambler rigs for the Laker's. When I target Lakers I only run the 2 corner riggers and slow down to 1.6-1.8. If one rigger goes off I turn into the other rigger to slow it down and it usually produces a double. For the kings all moonshine spoons 4th - One last effort to get another LOC fish. Warm water moved way in and the chances of finding a big brown looked bleak so we moved out to 100' to focus on stagers. Was able to put 5 matures (lost another 5) on the boat , a few browns and some small kings. DW super glow two faced took 4 kings and I had a yeck frog spoon near the bottom that took our biggest king. I had that set for brown trout. I ran an all spoon set with 2 dipseys, 3 riggers and a weighted steel. besides the one hit off the bottom everything came out of temp (stagers). Bonus: My daughter was fighting a king and it let go as I was going to net it and ended up with a hook in my nose passed the barb. Cut it and fed it through and kept fishing. Overall a great week of fishing (The rest of August was amazing also) I'm pulling the boat next week, time to start focusing no hunting prep and coaching football. Tight Lines, Eric
  3. In addition to what was already said if you want to target them specifically I troll with spoons and crank the speed up to around 3.1. Additionally Flasher/spin-doctor Fly work good also for them with that speed. With the PANOPTIX I have I can tell if its a steelhead as they come after the baits twice as fast as salmon do.
  4. Normally this time year the winds are out of the SW and lite. This year is a different story heavy north winds constantly. I fishing out of an 18' boat for years all seasons its just all about picking your days.
  5. At least in my opinion the day after a hard blow especially west I will go offshore where the water is more stable. Did this yesterday evening with good success.
  6. I had a similar issue with mine years ago check to see if you have any steel that might be interfering with the internal autopilot compass and will prevent the pilot from steering well. I put my tool bag in the cabin one day and the autopilot was going haywire until I figured out the problem.
  7. Thanks for all the advice. I did replace the starter but was still having the problem. Had a mechanic look at it yesterday and he said the main wiring harness that connects to te engine was loose. He re clamped it, cleaned the connections and it seems to have fixed the problem. Drove it back from Sodus to Rochester this morning.
  8. I have a 2000 5.0 Volvo Penta closed loop engine. The boat was starting intermittently which led me to believe it was the starter solenoid because nothing would happen when i turned the key. 1. I replaced the starter solenoid it started 20 times no issues 2. I cleaned all the positive and negative connection and dyaeletric greased everything 3. Checked all fuses 4. Put a new starter relay in the engine computer 5. Changed the ignition switch 6. Bypassed the neutral safety switch * seems to not start when there is heavy moisture especially after rain. Boat is currently stuck in Sodus at Katlyn Marine Anyone seen any issues like this in the past? Thanks, Eric
  9. Sometime matching the size of the bait the salmon are eating helps. Take a look at their stomachs when your cleaning fish
  10. Wire! Sea Fleas this time of year are horrible even with wire and braid would be even worse.
  11. Thanks Yankee Troller, I will make sure my friend Vic stops by your booth at the show. Bozemen, Yes I have radar
  12. Asking for a friend,,,,, Looking purchase a Garmin unit matched with a thru hull transducer. One that will give the opportunity in the future(year or 2) to add a PS-30 panoptix. Specifically for lake trolling. Thanks
  13. Yes, 1999 was the year of the 40lbers, my dad landing one 41+ off Pulaski and was 3rd place.
