  1.  I might like to add water temp. preferences, don't allow yourself to become stuck on any specific temperature(s). Some of my best days have come from 47-49 degrees but not always the case. Find the concentrations of bait and hooks and fish to them, above, through, and below. Speed n direction is of equal importance as temp. You'll get'em.....

  2. If the boat is setup right, they are a pleasure to fish off of. For an older model I would suggest buying from a reputable seller and demand a marine survey as part of sales agreement. Most generally a twin screw is fished with one motor. Normally you run a sea bag from the opposite side of the operating motor. Rotate motor use to keep hours similar. I fished a 27' single screw Baha 12 seasons before I bought my current boat. I didn't see a considerable increase in fuel consumption with the twin, although, I normally don't push it on plane either. Cruising around 3200 rpm's is fine with me and it conserves fuel. Hope this answered your question....see ya on the oak

  3. Good smallmouth and walleye river. South of where your at is Sunbury which is good west branch and north branch after they raise the fiberdam before Memorial Day weekend. Area around Williamsport is good to above and below low head dam at Williamsport. Good launches near Williamsport with about 6 mile of running. I'm from central pa about 15 minutes north of Lewisburg. You'll like the area.

    The boats colors are white over purple/black/silver flake. It's always been stored in a garage, and as nice a 2003

    bass rig you'll ever find. I have owned this boat since ordered new. It's a 65 to 70 mph boat with the right conditions. 

    The boat is an original Earl Bentz boat, much better quality then what's being produced today, since the sale of company, my opinion.

    Boat is located in central Pennsylvania. Selling due to no time to use. Serious inquires only please, $15,000.00  firm.      wishintobefishincharters.com

  5. North of the Ridge you'll have to call their hm phn #585 682-4376. He put in some newer campers that are alright. Also alot of my clients use Clean Sweep, never heard a complaint. The Lighthouse Rest. is whithin walking and under new management opening at 5am on weekends. Also Lake Alice Cottages right on Lake Alice 585 682-9733. Orleans County docks maybe an option, they have a website I'm sure.

  6. FF 20# is also my suggestion. Peel off around 120' off you mainline, replace 100' with ff then add 20' or so of a good leader line 15 or 20#. The ff knots nicely with your mainline/leader material. Only fleas you'll pickup is on your leader material if you have to long of length added. This has worked for me for many years. Good fishin!

  7. My vote would be for the Furuno. I run the 585 and never seem to see the need to touch it. Great detail w/ thru hull transducer and frequent adjusting is just not required for the detail it provides....

  8. I trailered up from Central PA in the spring and home in the fall 12 seasons with my last boat, 27' w/ alum. dual axle trailer. (2) sets of tires is all I ever had on it, last pair was Carlise radials, what a difference over stock bias. I'd never buy anything but radial trailer tires for over the road, my opinion.

  9. Honestly Fischer speed will change by the day it seems. Some days they want them crawling, 1.9- 2.2. Other days you must burn them, 2.7-3.0. To start I would begin around 2.3-2.4 and go from there. If you run a large flasher to attract give it a lil longer leader which will compensate for a lil added speed. I've run j-plugs with an attractor rig and without and have always done better with a flasher down. The key to j-plug bites are you must put them in front of their noses, it pisses them off into striking. They are not going to go out of their way to chase it down. Find your staging water, east or west of the creek, look for hooks on bottom 50-100' and start there. Run with the bottom to allow you to keep your offerings in their faces. At this time of year somedays your boat will look like a drunken sailors' running it but that is what you have to do to entice them into striking the baits. As far as the plugs themselves I've run many different colors. The #4 all silver plug has been my best one. A chartreuse colored one would be number two. A silver with bloody nose has worked at times as well but not to the degree as the all silver.

    I watched a video years ago of a guy catching kings in the Niagara river using a Rapala long billed body bait in firetiger. He caught one after the other, all fair hooked. I went out and I bought that bait and tried it in the oak, off the docks. After casting it about an hour and reeling it in without any success I began to get bored, so I started casting it across the river and began burning it back to me, I'm talking way faster then you'd think a fish would bite. First strike almost took the pole out of my hands. I landed two mature kings that evening using the method I had discovered by sheer boredom. Those fish were no different then the ones in 50-100' of water this time of year. You just have to make them mad enough to react... hope this has helped. Bob
