    Don’t tell me you ain’t got time to hunt now??? LOL those bass will be their after the seasons over!! Just busting ya, can you pull it back after your surgery?? I can’t and just can’t justify the price of a crossbow. Before they were legal you couldn’t give on away.

    What boat were ya lookin to buy?? Sorry guys I’ve been super busy getting my in laws place ready to be auctioned off!! Come Oct. 27. They lived in a nice size ranch house with a fully finished basement, and a full attic. Man O Man do those folks have stuff. They were old school folks and you know what that means!! They didn’t run to the store often, but when they did it was like Sams Club or BJ’s they stocked up on stuff!!! Plus my Father in Law had Tri- axel dump trucks for 38 years and a huge garage where we did most all repairs ourselves. There’s just so much stuff!!! We are like overwhelmed!!! The auctioneer is bringing 4-5 people interested in the house and his shop which is across the street on it’s own deed with well and septic. When he retired he was going to tune the shop into 4 nice size apartments. So that’s what I’ve been up to these days.

    Nice boat and some great ideas on the mechanical end of adaptation of things necessary for equipment. For what you pay for a virgin boat you would think the boat manufacturer's would have these ideas incorporated into their build. Of course the bass guys don't need these incorperations, but the walleye tour guys do.?? Nice job and congrats to your purchase!!!

    I've been dragging lures around LakeO since the mid to late 70's before the invasive species when the water was blue/green at that time there was no need for such things as the Fish Hawk and all the others. Fish were much more shallow and weren't as spooked as they are now a days. Now you can see a jig head laying on the bottom in 20ft of water. This has changed the ways of fishing on the big pond!! after catching limits of walleyes doing what we did for 10-15 years it's hard to change. I've taken the advice of other on this board and bought a hawk. This year was a banner year for sure for everyone, this year I took my 2 daughters up and caught more fish in 3 days than previous years. In my opinion the hawk played a major roll as we were able to dial our speed in at the ball which in my mind was the ticket. There were days we were running almost 4mph to achieve 2.3 or so at 70-80ft almost every fish we marked we caught that exact fish probably not but we marked we caught. The fish that we the surprise fish were the browns. LOL. On our way in we were marking nice hooks on the bottom slowed down to 1.8 threw a flasher/Gambler rig out on a weighted dips I didn't even get the other rod in the water and the kids were hollering DAD-DAD 1/2 later and they had the biggest laker I ever saw not being hooked well and a poor excuse of a net man I blew it. I can say that to me that hawk is worth it's weight in gold. I'll never leave the dock without it. That's my take on it. I'm not rich it took a lot of thinking to make this decision, but I'm happy I did, to see my daughters be happy and enjoying the same sport I eat sleep and drink.

    Sold / Closed Sea Ray 280 Weekender $19,000

    Xxx replied to flyboy7's topic in Boats for Sale

    I agree the timing of the sale. Every one is coming off the lake and headed towards the woods. After a long winter being cooped up, the first month of ice off she will sell fast. That's a beautiful boat!!! Best of luck with your sale.

    All their equipment was the Rolls Royce of fishing equipment!! Their riggers were light years ahead of anyone. I bought a set of riggers with 8' adjustable booms off the east coast rep for invader. Its a shame why they quit!!! NO means am I hijacking this sale. Just stating the quality of their equipment!! Best of luck with your sale!!!

    Look at the outputs on a carbon or a helix or any ducer that comes with a better than middle of the road finder and match it to a airman, the difference in price to go with the airmar ain’t there, unless you want to have downscan on while running WFO throttle. My cousin is a commander on a navy battle ship, he knows his crap on sonars which there’s 2 brands that are used by both us civilians and military and we went over this the last time he was home. The only way with today’s transducers you’ll benefit from a airmar is if fishing is your livelihood or you want to see bottom past 300ft at 50mph. Or if your a serious laker fisherman and want to see the fish take your bait in 300+ft of water. All those crazy letters and numbers he knows exactly what they mean. I’m going to up grade this winter but will run the factory ducer.

    Just added the fish hawk X4D and a 4 stroke kicker with the old Lowrance elite 9. Those 2 items turned this year into a year to remember!!! Used down image and X4D that’s what made my year. I can see bottom rocks I know I’m in eye turf and the right speed. There’s not a doubt in my mind the most important instrument on my boat is the hawk. For years I’ve been dragging shyt around this LakeO at unknown speeds at times I was going over 3mph gps to get my speed at the ball right. Things are only going to get better in marine electronics. Every time the military lets old tech out we benefit.

    When "others" said about it being a blood shed fill the pockets of the rich already years ago when they had guys with dip nets picking all the dead smallies up and putting them in a dumpster?? Saw this with my own eyes!! Pilliar Point was the weigh station and the following Monday/Tuesday they were over in and around Sackets Harbor after a so called scatter release. This was a Hushed up thing most people would be at work or other obligations. They filled a green dumpster with bass my uncle is a hard core bass guy and he now understands why it's so hard to catch a smallie by us. We were asked to leave!!! I was told the reason why they don't lower the limit was because the State of NY waters have plenty of bass to sustain the limit at (5) Hmmm. They have special Regs. for every other fish, God forbid the salmon Population would be in harm's way!!! I watched the bass tournament on the St Lawrence on the fishing channel the most repeated phrase was "Man I love fishing the St Lawrence no where else do we get a crowd like we get here, plus the weight of fish this place gives up is just incredible. Working fall offs in 30+ feet was the ticket for us." So much for gobies and nest casters pre-season being the most prominent problem.

    Perseverance will prevail!!- congrats to your first Laker!! Best way to catch any fish!!! Imo. Jigging is king.

    What is it your selling??

    I have a buddy that has a house on a island on the St.Lawrence River and he said the same. No need to call ahead as long as you have a Canadian fishing license your good to go as long as you don't touch the ground. That's why he bought the ipilot with spot lock cause you can't even drop an anker down. LOL.

    You guys are blessed with some of the best fishing in the world!! I always read your section of this site. Brings back many memories of when I was a child and any more then a few minutes out of Ottawa was the French language. I ate many of unique dishes at the mom and pop restaurants on our way North to some of the best walleye fishing I experienced in my lifetime. I was on 5 different fly in trips in the later 70' s up to the early 80' s as the need to trek further north was needed to find the most remote lakes. Things sure did change as the roads became more trailer friendly and guys were able to bring their own boats. All we needed was a portable fish finder a 9.9 motor and a Plano box full of different weight jig heads. The second week of June was our week. That was usually just a few weeks after ice off and allowed us some great laker fishing and that's what started my passion for lake trout. Those were the days!!!

    Is this boat in the eastern part of LakeO?? I saw it was in Oswego in 2015. Is the canvas like so it makes a canopy to stand under or is it like a cover type canvas would like to see a pic of canvas on?? Im seriously considering maybe purchasing this boat. Could you give me an idea of transom and stringers!! I'll be coming up that way to tow my 22ft Sea Ray cuddy home and would like to see this boat!! Before you start to break it down. Maybe I could drive up one day to look at it see it for my own preference. Really interested. You and ask anyone on here I pay my bills and would be paying cash should this boat make the grade for me. Thanks Mike!! aka PAP. PS.How many hrs does the mother and boat.
