  1. HAHA..yeah..I figured with the size and style of that rig that that was the "floating camp" as well. My home lake, the Great Sacandaga, the marinas are full of larger boats from folks that basically rent a slip, dock their boat and live on it for the weekends or weeks. Pretty neat. They have quite the pad when they get their faux grass carpets layed out on the dock, potted plants etc. Hey, dont have to pay property taxes or the upkeep of a property! My kind of livin!
  2. Always liked those particular regal boats. nice lines
  3. bobs_boy, so do you stay on the boat while you are up at Lake O?
  4. Mortigan, that sounds great. I love chowder and hell I am a native Adirondacker...The Great lakes trolling book that I have read 3x now says that early season spring Coho is the best eating fish..?
  5. My statement was that I dont hear about anyone commenting on eating the Kings and whether or not they are good. I didnt mean that they arent good. Like I said, I have never had one out of Lake O so I have no opinion yet
  6. I put 90% of the fish back in the lake. THe only time that I actually keep a fish is if I am gonna eat it that same day,. Truthfully I have never had a fish out of Lake O. I also never hear of anyone on this board say that "man the King I kept last night was awesome table fare"...??
  7. No kidding. I haven't been up there in a few years actually for one reason or another. Kind of got tired of catching non legal lakers. Spent some time on Indian with better luck at some decent sized fish out in front of the marina
  8. what is the going rate out there on Lake O? Around here its $4.20 or so a gallon
  9. Do you have a link to more pics of Ruff Rider? I like the back area of that boat
  10. Kind of funny cause we target lakers on a few adk lakes. Particularly Piseco. I am not much liking to eat them cause they are super fishy but I have heard that you should boil them in saltwater basically poaching them.. Basically takes the strong flavor out of them? Havent tried it but makes sence. Another thing, more of a question, when you land a fish and are planning on making a meal out of it, I have heard that you should slit their gills to bleed them?
  11. What is the make of those pink rods and is that a special order?
  12. Ok thanks! Dang, dont see them listed in the Legacy section of canon's website. I need to get one of the matching swivel bases. One has one on it, the other doesnt...I guess they are Mag 104's?
  13. Got the Canon riggers sat. Havent had time to really look at them. Only thing I know is that they are Canon..white and grey. Fixed booms. Swivel bases. They are mid 80's vintage I would guess. Could they be the Mag 10's? Didnt take a pic yet will tonight
  14. Its located basically in Gloversville NY more in the Meco area. About 15 minutes from Northville where I live

    Fair Haven

    The Lake has changed in 10 years given the zebra musles
  16. My inlaws live in Trumansburg. I know Taughannac Park pretty well. I dont think that Ican get under that walking bridge with my 221 Islander though can I?
  17. my money is using the wrong dipsey with the Left and Right settings. No offense Kuba but that would explain things for sure
  18. Yes it does. thanks for the reply on this
  19. Just ordered 2 Berts ratcheting rod holders and 12" tracks. Done with beating my head against the wall!
  20. same here. I do like to "clean her out" at least once each trip out though
  21. well that sounds good cause I am planning my trip to Fair Haven August 15-18
  22. Found this Islander for sale near me. It is not mine. Hull number Stra85ebk394. Comes with two new Scottie downriggers, I think electric. Lower unit and prop look good, no dings. The sign says $3,900. His name is Frank from what the for sale sign says. I didnt speak to him directly. His number is (518) 773-9910. Worth a look in my opinion. Has a VHF and a smaller fishfinder on it to. Just trying to help someone out if your lookin for an Islander.
  23. Ok, well, was thinking of fishing out of Fair Haven
