    good point jeff,forgot to mention,controll king only works on 4-strokes.

    i installed a control king last year and it works great.my kicker is tied in the front with a tie rod bar to the main engines for turning and use the control king for throttle,no need for controls as long as the motor has a lever on the side to put it in gear.if you cant run a tie rod bar in the front,you can get an ez-steer which ties the motors together from the back.

    anyboat will work on certain days.there is a team out there fishing tournaments and doing good out of a similar boat to yours,not sure how they do it,but they do!!!!we started out with a 16' tin boat.out grew it rather quickly,but we made it work.ive seen party barges and speed boats out there trolling also.may be tough mounting riggers and rod holders depending on the gunwhales,but should be doable.you have to be smart and pay attention to weather forcasts and pick your days.once you catch your first king out in the lake you will probably shopping for another boat and a ton of other things also.BEWARE...... KING FISHING IS HIGHLY ADDICTIVE!!!!!!good luck and feel free to send me a pm with any other questions,id be glad to help.

    x3 on the line counter being in a bad place on the saltist,digs into your wrist and is very uncomfortable.

    im with tyee,im going to add some convectors this year,but to be honest,i have 3 seasons on my magdas and only have had 1 go bad.you can buy 3 or 4 magda for the price of a takota or saltist.you said you have done well with the ones you have,why change?if anything,send the ones you have to tuna toms and have him go through them.it will be alot cheaper than buying new reels!!!!

    if you have a limited budget and are just getting into it,there is nothing wrong with manuals.remember,for the most part,all you will be doing is reeling them in once a day,if you have enough releases.they arent like riggers where you will be reeling them in 20 times a day.electric is nice,but expensive.
  19. finsntins
    no problems with big jon reels here.bought them used and have used them for 2 seasons now with no problems.we run double keel otter boats.if you do ever need parts,they are carried by lots of local tackle shops.

    thats what this site is about.3 years ago i didnt even know what a salmon looked like,never used a down rigger and never even heard of a dipsey diver.im no expert and still have alot to learn,but i can honestly say that 95% of my knowledge has come from this website in one form or another,from reading posts to fishing with fellow lou members,to doing tournaments.what is really great now,is with a little experience now and my time on the water,i can give back!!!!!!!
  21. finsntins
    i couldnt agree with you more,we signed up months ago and cant wait!!!!!this is going to be a great weekend with great people.i hope to meet up friday night at the bar and shoot the stuff.

    welcome aboard frostbite,we have alot in common as i like to meet fellow fisherman and share info also.we fish out of the little salmon in mexico and cover alot of mexico bay and west towards oswego.if you ever need any info on this part of the lake,send me a pm.usually have room on the boat for a fellow lou member!!!!

    our target speed for the most part is 2 to 2.2 with f/f on lake o and do just fine at that speed.we have never fished the fingers and by no means are we experts on lake o,but im wondering if the fish in the fingers are smaller than in lake o,maybe a f/f set up is to much or to big of a presentation????might be a post you want to put in the finger lakes section.

    just wondering if anyone knows marc.i bought a couple of riggers from him a while back and i am looking to pick them up on my way to salmon school next weekend.i sent him a pm but he hasnt got back to me.im NOT saying he is trying to bone me,just maybe he doesnt live on the site like i do,so,if anyone knows him and can give him a call and tell him to check the site that would be greatly appreciated.thanks in advance.
