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

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!

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

Anyone fished today? I am hopping to come out tomorrow morning.

Somebody told me the kings came to Henderson in good number over this week time. Is it true?

Do you mean past Trench?

Heading to Handerson area for a day. Are there any fish in the trench yet?

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

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.

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

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

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

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 ]

Blue diamond 120%. Cheap and deadly. Great lifting power. Mike

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

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 ]

What is back trolling? Mike

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

How about boat not steering straight? Is it true? Any interference with an autopilot? Mike

Hi everyone Not to steal this thread, but my buddy and I decided to put a kicker on his 21 ft Parker sports cabin. Do you have to oversteer with it to compensate for side position of your thrust, especially since we use an autipilot for trolling? Also, do you think you can get by by using 6 Hp toshatsu? Any brakets for using swimming ladder out there? All kinds of help and suggestions would be appreciated. Mike

How about tackle, set up, etc..? Glow in the dark lures? What is the optimal speed? Can you use a trolling motor?

Hi everybody I was told that closer to main salmon run there is a trolling technique, used mostly in the dark to use a rowboat and troll some special lures behind it. Does anybody have any info/comments on it? It is done around the mouth of Salmon river. Any help would be appreciated. Mike
