Good point. My remote some how was pushed from lima to the genny so I will always disconnect the power to the winch when done.

not sure of the trailer setup, but have you tried to "drive" the boat on, then maybe all you need is a hand crank or two to finish. I had a 24' and it drove on a bunk trailer very nice, now with a 19' its a piece of cake.

Jeff- This may be what you are looking for...Has manual crank capability as well...not cheap but.....you have a beautiful boat,,,,it deserves the very best

I need a new winch for my trailer. I'm running a 25 foot boat which is about 5500 pounds. Currently using an electric track winch. It worked okay but if the battery ever went dead it was almost useless to try to crank manually. The remote engage in self by accident on the way to Ontario and a burned out the clutches. So I need to either repair or replace or get a new one and I'm contemplating on getting a manual one. It is nice to have a wireless remote and I have the motor behind it but I felt that cranking could be just as fast.

Anyone that trailers have any good input on a decent winch for a big boat?

Ha. I started thinking you were nuts getting out some how and all of the sudden got jealous as i read you were nailing them wishing i was out fishing. You got my fishing blood excited!

That's for sure, our forum has great folks who are always willing to help new guys like me

And yes, we'll have to get out together. Can't wait for spring browns on lake o if ur up to it

Nice job and report. Come on spring!!!!!

You guys are welcome to come to the Genesee Charter Boat Association meetings we hold the first Tuesday of every month at the Irondequoit Fish and Game club.We generally discuss both license and fishery subjects. The more the merrier.

Cool. Im interested.

ðŸ‘

That would be cool!  Tannero, if you want a ride I live in Lima also.

Its a plan then. We just need a date and time!

Hey Larry. I think its a great idea. I would love to meet folks and put a name with a face. Ive always thought a get together would be a good idea.

Id be willing to travel into the rochester area to attend. Some where near the river could be a spot since most of us are used to the trek

Was out there for a while also. No action but did see a few boat fish on sun AM. Best screen was 150 plus way down 110 and deeper. Everyone was really cooperative at the mouth which makes it a great day for all!

Very cool video

Ha. Yeah. Found a few at 150. Really cold inland. Ice.

Worked 350 to 480. Few pops with nobody home. Landed one 220 dipsey with FF. In 250 headed south. Fingers crossed

I just realized that I have all of my flies rigged upside down! Great video, thanks for posting

Jeez. Me too. I have all my flies tied the other way. Gr8 vid. Guess i need to cut and re tie em all.

Was catching quite a bit with em but cant wait to see if its better

Good report and pics Les. Hope the fleas relax a little as well for us the final few weeks.

Txs for the report and the replies. Now Im torn where to launch an sat. Sandy creek or the river. Decisions, decisions.

I heard there were some browns caught deep yesterday, too. Which port are you fishing?

Was out of the genny

Good report Les and great to hear guys from the forum fishing together.

Had a good day but a long one. We fished eight hours and im feeling it this am

3 colors of lead core off the 80 rigger with orange and silver colors was the hot ticket

We went 9 for 10 so just over a fish an hour so not that busy

Really large lakers just before bradocks in 140 to 160

Most boats were in 110 to 130 but we didnt have any luck that shallow

Picked up a few small kings. Nothing of size.

Was tough finding any lures which were hot and consistent. Blue took a few. Orange and yellow

FF were slow. Hammer glow with white nuclear was the best

Good luck to everyone this weekend
