    Lund fan considering upgrading to a 2450 but have not been able to find any in central PA. Does anyone have one on Ontario/Finger Lakes I could take a look at and/or possibly fish out of. I'm considering a larger boat and there are some great trophys out there cheap, but hard for me to stray from a lund. I normally fish out of oak. Anyone who has run one care to weigh in? There are some basically new Trophys in central pa set up to fish... the guys ran out of time, money, or interest. Old lund or newer trophy? I'd like something I can sleep on. Thoughts?

    Launched at about 1:30. Trolled east at 2.0 with a six rod spread. Water was between 41-43, not much color. Had 5 hits till finally stuck first fish of the season. 1 for 5 was not the start we were looking for but Kim landing a scaled 10 pounder,made the drive from PA worth it. Heading west tomorrow morning. Was up Easter weekend last year.... What a change compared to this year.

    About 40 stink bugs spent the winter in my controls. The throttle worked a few times and then jammed. I'm guessing I smashed a few stink bugs and the throttle locked in place (or could be a coincidence). I disassembled and cleaned what I could see... the cleaning did no good. Any ideas on what to do? Anyone know what style control this is in case I need to order a new one? Thanks

    Everything is ready and looking for finishing touches. How do you guys set your dipsy's? I have all mine (mag dipsys) set at 10 pounds on a slow pull measured on a hand scale. Anyone else have any suggestions lighter/heavier. Mostly pull flashers and flies.

    Any suggestions as to a launch? I have a 20' lund.

    Planning to run up and fish either Cayuga or Seneca tomorrow 3.11. Is the T-falls launch open? Can you get a boat in anywhere on Cayuga? If Cayuga is not an option can someone give me a starter for Seneca. Never fished it before. My camp is half way between Cayuga and Seneca so I'd prefer to stick to the south end. Any help would be appreciated...

    Putting the shotgun away and getting the rods out tomorrow. Planning to launch out of T-falls in the am. Anyone else going to be out? I have a new radio, I'd like to confirm is working. What channel are you guys on. Anyone have any suggestion as to where to start and with what. I have copper, leadcore, dr, and big boards. Thanks, Matt ....The Debander

    I'm struggling trying to wire HDS 5 to radio. The HDS 5 has 5 wires - yellow TX (+) - blue TX (-) - orange RX (-) - green RX (-) - shield (ground) I have 2 radios; each on a differnt boat Cobra MR F75 has a GPS jack that plugs to radio. Jack wires are red and black Uniden - orange = external speaker + - black = external speaker - - green = GPS data in - red = DC +13.8 V - bare wire = PA - (GND) - brown = PA + - blue = NA Can someone help with what wires go to which for each radio?

    The speed problem has to do more with the 2 stroke bogging up at low rpm. I need to open it up every so often to flush it, it will also vary rpm as it starts to bog down. I have changed plugs and taken motor to marine mechanic to have carb cleaned. I don't want to spend anymore money on this motor. Time for a 4 stroke. [ Post made via iPhone ]

    I currently have a 20' alaskan with a '75 evinrude 9.9 for trolling. The trottle is very touchy at low speeds. It is a pain to keep a steady speed, always having to get up to adjust trottle. I am considering moving to a 4 stroke. I have found a barely used 2005 Honda 15 HP tiller, electric start, long shaft. I would add a controllking from cabelas which are on sale now. Is 15 HP to much for an aluminum boat? When fishing for browns on big O or lakers in finger lakes, I'm typically trolling at or less than 2mph. Or should I just wait for a 9.9 Thanks

    Paul, That's the help I'm looking for. In central PA, not many resources for salmon fishing. Great to have this site as a reference so I don't have to learn the hard way. I have limited time to fish and would rather spend it trolling than untangling gear. I'll run a lead core, 300' copper, dr, dr, dipsy, and another 300' copper. I can swap rods according to whats working. Matt

    Does anyone have the dimensions? I'm from PA, boards are in NY.

    Can I get away with running 2 - 300' copper lines on 1 otter board? Do I need a second keel to pull both coppers? If so, does anyone have the dimensions of the keel. I should be a be able to make a second keep at the shop. Again any help would be appreciated.
