support the boat on the trailer and fill it with water. support to handle the water load while testing. I found each rivet that caused water to enter my boat  this way

For those who may have known this boat while it was traveling the waters of Lake Ontario I wanted to share the updates and changes made to it since its new inland home.  I have since learned to sew. I completely created a new enclosure. Replaced all the gauges and  installed 2 Lowrance HDS Carbon 9 displays while also teaching myself AutoCad to lay out the dash. Replaced all the switches added Lowrance Autopilot and sound system. The Bennett trim tabs are now monitored through the Lowrance display. Pinpoint  Compass / GPS antenna for more accurate navigation.  i installed an IPod/ Phone DOC for music and out of the weather. Re-carpeted the cuddy with burgundy  automotive carpeting (WIP). removed one Cannon Downrigger and added Scotty mounts and Triple holders. Sadly some of my photos were not compatible for uploading. If i can correct this i will resend them. I just ordered Stainless Steel tubing to make a semi hard top enclosure so now  i have to work on my TIG skills. Aside of losing a cylinder head this year  this has been a very good boat for me great on fuel runs like a champ and even handled a wave over the bow and up over the bimini top to crash on the deck. It was enough to turn us and the boat following around and head back to the dock to fish another day. I hope you enjoy!

I am looking to get back up there and do some fishing this Summer if anyone know the area well enough to join me on a weekend trip  you are more than welcome to come aboard.

Good Morning Everyone,

Since I am 4+ hours from the Lake I wanted to reach out and see what are the MOST productive lures to fish the lake this time of year. Last year i purchase a 21" PennYan  all setup to fish the lake and the seller had included some rods in the deal. I have the riggers and a wire spooled rod some great electronics installed along with all the tackle i use locally for striper and catfish. We are looking to make a trip up to the lake however it will be based on the weather here. If the rivers and ocean are too messed up locally we are going to shoot for a trip to Oswego and try our luck  there. It looks like this weekend will be as bad here as up there o id like to get the gear ready for possible next weekend.  Remember I am not a local so be gentle

I have a 19ft Seaswirl Striper with 2 cannon lake troll riggers 90 hp with 40 gallon fuel capacity. i have trolling rods etc. not sure of the tackle though most i have is for the smaller trout species so i will have to look into what may be needed for this area.

Thank You,

Looking for some tips and tactics, tackle for fishing the lake for trout / salmon in the Oswego area. I have fished the lake for small mouth years back. I was up to Rochester last year for some training and while i was there we chartered a boat for some evening lake trout fishing. Though it was an evening 4 hour trip the captain maid it very productive for us. I am looking to try for a trip up there in the next couple weeks. just to inform you I am green when it comes to fishing the lake so be gental.

Thank You
