Frogger

They had a batch of bad cable. I read some posts this spring about it which damn near almost made me go to braid when I bought new riggers. I didn’t and haven’t had any issues. Optimums. It’s kinda like if your a ford guy, buy that new truck and a month later get a recall. Do you switch to Chevy?

Thanks Dlott! Oh yea can you meet me at the dock Sat am with some of those hot looking spoons! Kidding but they look great!

Anybody have some info on how the water level is with the bridge at Taugannack state park launch is?

That statement right there just about sums this topic up! She’s only going to get better. Practice catch and release when ever you can.

There’s 5 up for sale on Sue Kapps sale post.

Congrats Les to you and your daughter, looks like your in the Capt’s chair……..😀

Way to go Les! Nice fish!

4-550. Down 70-90

Marina in Williamson, NY. West of Sodus.

Went out early with my youngest and signalman, got a tip from a regular there, has a Lund boat, don’t know his name, but gave us a plan to go deep. Lake was flat so we said let’s do it. Not 5 min in and we were hooked up. Boated 15 lost a half dozen more. Good day. All baits were hit. Even a monster rip on the copper that came off as soon as we grabbed the rod. Left it out a bit but then when we brought it, found we had a bent up tin can mangled. Great day.

Way to Hillside!

FYI not sure how old the DR is but cannon redesigned the head so the cable doesn’t jump off. You may be able to reach out and get them to send you one.

Pappy, signalman summed up the fleas pretty good….. nice going. I think you trained her very well. She was ready to go this morning at the launch. Nice going!

I’d say your learning curve ended when you left your driveway. Nice report and what a trip. Thanks for sharing.

Great fish Whaler! Love the story. I can just picture the flys……

I heard something about cables being replaced that is holding the barge in place.

After rereading and thinking about your issues starting after the new motor was installed, as others have mentioned you may have hit a point where the waterline is now at. Your splash well ie ports that drain out or transom area might be the area to focus. Try corking them if they are at the water line to see if they leak. Ripping up the floor with removing the tank is a royal pain. You might want to focus on the back. Mine has a couple of side pans in the battery compartment that might get you a visual access to see if water is coming in. Just drill out some rivets to remove them if it’s the sam. If not anything putting the boat in the water with someone’s head and a light to watch where she starts coming from might help to. Hope you find it. I know how frustrating it is.

Nice going adesalvo, you had a heck of a program. Thanks for the report. Great read. We had a 5.8 rainbow on the board for a little bit. Bled like a stuck pig. Tried the bottom work but was tough with the depth changes and wind yesterday.

Do you have a rollers or bunks on your trailer? Bunks might be hiding a loose rivet.
