  1. My buddy just got the Ipilot, used it a couple of times on his 17' lund. On lake ontario, it will troll at 2mph but thats it, and it killed the batteries so an onboard recharger is necessary. When the batteries started to run out of juice, the motor just started spinning around.....what a mess we had. That is all he has tried with it so far, so the verdict is still out on it.

    Got out late Saturday morning about 10 went out to 30 feet of water and ran 4 riggers and 3 lines on the planers. All fish were taken off the riggers on spoons. Sunday am got out around 6am started in the harbor and went back to where we had success saturday, started whacking the browns after we got to 17 browns we turned around and headed back towards the harbor and picked up a couple more, then 1 rigger fired and the pole bent wooohoooo as a fish came out of the water...1st king ever boated for us. Shortly after we found a laker was dragging on the other side. This was our best outing to date and first king and laker that made it into the boat

  3. As of today, Fastrak has begun to switch the 93 octane unleaded tanks over to non ethanol fuel. They say that this will take time, and hope to have all stations switched over by the end of May. So keep an eye on the fastraks.

  4. What downriggers are you looking at? The cannons with the skinny booms wont hold a 12lb weight. 100 ft of cable out with a 8 lb weight would get you down 75 ft if your lucky. That's no joke. I get tons of blowback with 15 lb torpedo if I go over a 100 down

    I was considering 2 of these and upsizing to a 12 pound ball.....

    Would these not be good?

  5. I was in Oklahoma City a couple days ago and there is NON ethanol on almost every corner. Seems that the preponderance of older cars that last longer from the south has a force in the market. Hope we can get a better voice to our stations and get more non ethanol

    This is the driving force behind fastrak having it. They were waiting until the tanks were empty to begin carrying it, and that should be within the next 60 days. Older carbed 350's with expensive 4 barrel carbs dont care for ethanol either.

    SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

    ====================

    Fished out of Oswego today, trolled the river up to the bridge, around the harbor and out to the west....nothing. Back to the east towards Mexico and got into 2 small steelies. Was hoping for a better day but will try again tomorrow

  7. My buddy and I are very new to salmon fishing. We have fished for them on Ontario out of Fairhaven, Pulaski (once each) and the last 2 days out of Oswego. We have found and marked a ton of fish but only have 1 in the boat and 1 lost at the boat. We have trolled from 2.0 to 3.5 anywhere from 75 to 160 feet. We have used spoons, green and white flies and green/ silver, green/ dayglo, chrome flashers, with and without the e-chips. We have trolled close to 40 hours from before sun up to about 6pm. We have seen other boats catch 2 or more fish each time out, have tried matching thier speed, kept the riggers where the fish are. Is there something you guys see that we are doing wrong? Is there advice you might give to help us have more success? Thanks for reading
