My buddy texted me he hit a jumbo rainbow on a diver with a silver and blue nbk looking spoon

No expert but if you would be happy with 850 I think a buyer looking in that market would also be happy with decent working motor for 850

I trolled 9 hours and ran 6 miles with my 90 etec on sat and burnt exactly 3.35 gallons on gas

Didn't know that was you, see you have been asking some trolling questions.. if ya want any advise or have questions hit me up.. this is Ben andrus.. fish with Ron alot

That you tim?

i heard a good oz report in 100 fow

Looked at this boat this past weekend just f9r kicks... very very nice platform for the $

is this boat located in oswego?

Just a report back... hit the water 6am off at 1 4-4 first fish in 300 f ow down 130.. 14lb coho 2nd fish 15 lb king 240 f ow 330 dipsey 3rd fish 12 lb coho 205 f ow 375 Dipsey 4th fish 13 lb king 190 fow 335 dipsey Temp was 50 degrees down 137 feet with a 15 lb torpedo over 300 f ow 50 degrees down 158 over 190 f ow Did not take a swing on the probe rigger in 51 degree water.. your guess is as good as mine how deep a walker deeper diver on a 3 setting out 375 and 340 are at 2.2mph

Ran to the nuke huh dawg? Anybody out the front door? Pass anybody doing circles in the harbor?

Thanks dawg... had a friend run out to 515 this morning and they took 2 swings.... said it's rough out there... how's the currents

Oz reports Seem to be be quiet on the board. Anybody been out or going out today?

Rich... did u take a pass in the harbor?

Won't matter with this crazy wind it's probably changing hourly lol

Think a downrigger s nubber would help?

Just a personal opinion but I think a down speed unit is irreplaceable for a serious lake Ontario fisherman.... I was out 2 weeks ago ( I have a 19ft aluminum boat) and because of my fish hawk I concluded given the waves and current I could not troll west... just could not maintain speed given conditions. I trolled east 6 miles picked everything and ran back west and reset trolling east... with no probe i would have been completly wasting about 1/2 my day trolling back west

problem is trolling on lake O fish hawk isnt good for difference between 2.3 and 2.5..... there are many days you need to do like 3.5 surface to get 2.2 or need to do 1.2 surface to get 2.4 down... big bad current on that lake

I think if there is a ton of current it sometimes has trouble getting the temp reading back up to the ducer....... I run 15 lb torpedo with my probe and was having an issue... just my guess what was happening with mine sadly I spent $200 on a new one before a test run hahahah

I wouldnt say im a hell of a fisherman thats for sure.. I wouldnt even consider myself a good weekend warrior Truthfully on cayuga I dont even run my fish hawk.. I only did this time because I had issues with my prob on lake ontario 2 weeks ago and I wanted to test it out this past weekend.. On cayuga I have a rather straight up set up... 2 riggers each with fixed cheaters... If I say screw lakers I keep them up higher but if we are in catch # fish mode I run them 85 down with cheater 15 above it and 65 down with 15 ft above it... Dipsies out at variable distances and a 10 color lead out the back... Unlike many who have success I cant for the life of me catch a fish on cayuga with a flacher and fly or a 10 color lead.. Beats me?? If I have a good driving side kick I will use cowbells on bottom but that requires so much babysitting on cayuga because of the ledges So fish hawk on lake O.... I put the probe at about 48ish degrees and put the 2nd rigger in about 52-54 degrees. Truth be told I look at a lot of reports on here and talk to cptns on the lake about how far off shore fishing it but I am pretty sure the way it goes is a steady south win blow pushes warm water out and cold water comes in and a north wind blows warm surface water inshore
