    Yep. Had bait and fish that wouldn't bite on the East side and then a whole lot of nothing over on the west side. Only managed 3 fish in 4.5 hours, got rained on a couple times, and had some big waves to deal with sometimes, too. Worst outing of the year so far.

    Slow day for us on Saturday. Some of our best spots all summer were suddenly completely empty -- very few fish or bait marked. Maybe it was a fluke or maybe things are changing over to the fall patterns even though the surface temps were still 76-77. There was a front coming through and that always makes it a bit unpredictable...

    bump. don't need these laying around

    Exactly. I am glad I decided to go with the XL shaft instead of the Long.
  5. EarlyRiser
    I have the Trophy 2102 and my 9.8 Tohatsu with the XL shaft has plenty of power to push me at trolling speeds with little effort and could push me about 5mph in an emergency. You would be fine with an 8hp, but may want to purchase the XL shaft because of the deep hull and positioning of where you can mount the motor.

    I had to replace my steering system this spring because my cable seized up. Wound up learning a few lessons and having some new and used items left over at the end of the project. No feedback back mount rack helm -- new, but no box -- $75 (I wanted to use this type of helm, but just didn't have enough room behind the dash (it is a little bit bigger than the standard helm) and had purchased it as a kit with the cables.) http://www.wholesalemarine.com/teleflex-sh5230p-back-mount-rack-no-feedback-helm.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwz4u9BRCbioK3stnBznESJADA75xbw7r2uGdi8_0xLDeGbUF1tbEgkhM1GyD5vqlJlPsOCBoCpiPw_wcB Back mount rack helm -- used, but still works perfectly $20 (only the cable was broken, but I purchased the full kit anyway) http://www.wholesalemarine.com/teleflex-sh5210p-back-mount-rack-helm.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwz4u9BRCbioK3stnBznESJADA75xbt3FZbq0ZA5UShyMOCcHKk1TvsGzTJTY8wy2yG33QNhoCAPfw_wcB Located in Lansing/Ithaca area. Will ship at buyer's cost if needed. Thanks. Kyle

    The wife does the Cayuga Triathlon every year and believe me you don't want to go anywhere near Tgk on Sunday between 6am and Noon. The swim typically happens off the south edge of the point, so you also can't fish that bay south of the point until probably 11am. I don't know of any reason why Myers would be bad on Sunday except for the forecast calling for stiff winds out of the NW. Kyle

    Looks like a great day! We had some pretty solid action on Sunday, too. Stayed strictly north of Myers and fished both sides. Fleas starting to become an issue -- switching my rigger rods over to heavy line before the next trip. Water temps at the surface were 67-70 degrees.

    I've had this same kicker for two years now and it's been great. Very happy with it and hopefully you will have the same result.

    Will include domestic shipping at my cost if you buy the reel.

    x4 - I fish almost exclusively the finger lakes and run the 8'3" versions with sealine 27s and small penn level wind reals -- fast retrieve not as critical with riggers

    We managed to get a handful yesterday, but we had to work for them. Saw Temps between 53 and 56 at the surface and marked lots of fish, but they were in a negative mood.

    Bump.

    I've never tracked the exact gain, but I know that I've had some long days with the radio on and also left the fish finder on accidentally for a whole week and didn't have a problem. The charge controller distributes the charge as needed according to battery levels. At the very least it is keeping things topped off and preventing concern over running accessories without the motor on.
  23. EarlyRiser
    Good tips. I have a 2001 2002WA and I'm always looking for handy customizations. I don't have a lot of gadgets on mine, but did add a small solar panel and charge controller to keep the batteries topped off. That has been pretty handy. I attached the panel to the top of the outboard with industrial strength velcro.

    Our dog doesn't use a crate anymore, so we're selling this barely used crate to save room in the basement. Paid around $75 for it but will let it go for $25 cash. Located in Ithaca. Send me a PM if interested.

    As a kid I remember still fishing Lake Erie in a boat with worms for walleye/bass with my dad and neighbor. Neighbor set his rod down to eat his sandwich and drink his beer when a fish hit and pulled the rod right in the water. After a few choice words that should not have been said in front of me, he rigged up another rod and went back to fishing. When we went to move to the next spot, we pulled up the anchor and the line was caught on it -- pulled up the line to get the rod/reel, plus the fish was still on it. The only thing that could have made the story better was if it was a great fish, but instead it was a stupid sheephead.
