  1. I' ll try to find it and than post coordinates.
  2. How about sea worthyness of this boat? I know there ate 17 ft arimas on the lake. I need cuddy so my wifie who just started to fish with me can have her private moments. At the same time I do not want to compromise ability to fish/ troll.
  3. I set my eyes on 16 ft sea explorer in fantastic condition. Do you think it is too small? It is true, they are hard to find on our coast. The beam of 16 is 7.6'' I am from Bergen Co inNJ.
  4. I have been looking to move from my center console boat with 7.6 beam to wider boat with higher gunnels. My search led me to Arima boats They claimed to be very stable in the troll and easy on gas and produced for over 20 years on west cost for the rough waters there. Have you seen or experienced them in action in Ontario waters? They are 17,19 and 22 ft 8 ft beam boats. Mike
  5. Can you please provide with GPS coordinates (I know I ask for much) but my chartplotter does indicate any rapid elevations in that area and I troll in that area a lot. Thank you in advance!
  6. Had whitefish on the grill a week ago. Fantastic! Couple of pound fish went for a magnum spoon. I hope the kings would learn from their distant relatives whities how to bite! Mike
  7. Anyone fished today? I am hopping to come out tomorrow morning.
  8. Somebody told me the kings came to Henderson in good number over this week time. Is it true?
  9. Heading to Handerson area for a day. Are there any fish in the trench yet?
  10. Due to change in plans, one DSR pass for sale fo $30 at the site tomorrow am. Please call 201 334-6670 for details. Mike
  11. Crack in tectonic plate due to global warming.
  12. Any other, negative experience? Did brown discoloration came off with Simple Green? I just used it to wash the boat after winter storage. It is great stuff to wash off surface gunk/oil/ greese but does very little to any discoloration in gelcoat. That is why I asked you about acids. They do magic (I was told ) to bring the colors back but are not good for trailer and user from what I gather. Mike
  13. I have 1990 boat in amazing shape without bottom paint. I have been keeping it on the trailer and launching it every time. It is a big pita especially early in the morning in hight of the season. What is the danger/ downside of keeping it for a month in the water on the marina of Salmon river. Are bottom cleaners/acids bad for yoour gelcoat? Do i expect to see lots of algae growth? Please, chime in. Mike
  14. I spoke to Yamaha tech service and they told me that trolling is worse for large engine than running due to suboptimal temperatures in the block and significant carbon deposits. I troll with large 2 strokes and I gun it for about 5 min wot on the way back. I would also use anti carbon additives like ring free.
  15. Fished north of Salmon and got into 25-30'' lakers on planers and spoons. 4/5 I have not seen them come up to the surface ever. What is going on? Mike
  16. Hi everybody Finally, I got this weekend free to fish and i need to orient myself. We launch from slamon river. From what i understand from my "intel", brown action is slow to nonexistent in the area. What is happenining and where? Any help would be appreciated. No spot burning and you can always pm me. Mike
  17. Just curious where is brown trout at this point as salmon is around rivers waiting for a good rain? Any tips to catch it at this time? Mike
  18. Howcome your oil is mixing with gas? I have seen oil with water mixture but never with gas. You also might be able to fit Mercury 8-9 hp pump because it is all rebranding Tohatsu. [ Post made via iPhone ]
  19. Blue diamond 120%. Cheap and deadly. Great lifting power. Mike
  20. Hi everyone I am about to pull the trigger on Lowrance hds genII unit and I can not decide between 83/200 and 50/200 frequency ducer. What is community opinion for best one for trolling in up to 200fow? Please, help. I want to use it this weekend. Mike
  21. We have been using Raymarine 6001 a/p for 2 years now. I would go with hydraulic drive if your main steer is hydraulic. Just keep in mind that they do not work well in pounding seas and low speed. Your engine would not have enough thrust to correct your deviation. Mike [ Post made via iPhone ]
  22. What I am referring to is that a kicker mounted off midline would theoreticly push boat to opposite side. This also would affect an ability of autopilot to steer the boat. Is this side thrust unnoticeble? Mike
  23. How about boat not steering straight? Is it true? Any interference with an autopilot? Mike
