16 ft charter boat???????

where are you looking?

i had a 21 ft walkaround with a 8 hp 2-stroke and it pushed it just fine.4-strokes are nice though cause you can just tap into your on board tank.

ive stayed in the cabins at mikes this past season,cant beat the price!!!!!

hey tod,just like we talked about,,think some people just like to look at pics.

i lived in hopatcong for a while,i fish out of mexico and i am always willing to share info.as far as spoons,you should go back through the fishing reports from this past spring to get an idea,for us there wasnt one spoon that stuck out and this was my first year fishing browns,so i dont have years of experience to say,but we did well just about every day out.i can tell you that things change day to day,so what worked yesterday,didnt work today.try to have a good variety of colors.seemed like spoons would work in the morning and then sticks would take over in the afternoon and the next day it would be just the opposite.need to change things up quite a bit until you start hitting them and then you can start tuning your program.good luck and feel free to shoot me a pm anytime.

welcome aboard,make sure you have some spoons in your arsenal for browns.

rolmops is right.you should do some rewiring and have a battery just for starting your motor and then a deep cycle battery for riggers and trolling motor.if you use your trolling motor and riggers alot,depending on the size of your boat,you may even want to run 2 deep cycle batteries.

sounds good to me

just wondering what you guys think about lou members that are going to the lotsa salmon school having a meet and greet type thing sometime that weekend.this is my first time to the area,so maybe someone that has been there before could recommend a place to meet at.also,need to know what night would be best.

i would think the longer people wait,the price is gona keep going up,so if you are going, make your reservations.i even booked thursday night in case the weather looks bad for friday,they have a 2 day cancellation policy,so if i dont need i can cancel thursday night and not get charged.

happy thanksgiving to all fellow fishermen,lets also remember our local firefighters and e.m.t.keeping us safe here at home.

thanks again guys for all the input,im gona give this chip a try,still cant believe that they send this chip,which costs almost 200 bucks with the purchase of the unit,thought this was a really good deal.if it isnt what im looking for,ill sell it on e-bay and go with a navionics chip.stinks i wont be able to try it for another 5 months or more!!!!man its gona be a long winter

i dont know of any,other than where im at,which is mikes marina in mexico who does have used boats for sale.not sure if he has any for what you are looking for,but you can go on his website and check them out.also,salmon country marina,which is in the little salmon,but idont know if they even have a website.i know there some big marinas further west,but dont know their names.did you try craigslist or boat trader.com?

thanks paul,i called si-tex and told them that i fished lake o,but the gps came with the chip for the east coast,they said no problem,send us that one back and we will ship you the one for the great lakes.so i guess i will give it a try in the spring.

i dont know anyone that owns one,but i did look them over on their web site.they some what resemble a steiger or parker.looks like a simple no bells and whistles fishing boat.simple is good!!!!nice wide gunwhales for mounting riggers.big open cockpit for fighting fish.the model i looked at didnt have a closed in pilot house,which is nice to have out there,but im sure you could have drop curtains installed.looks like it would make a good lake o boat.

cannon makes pre-drilled deck plates.i think they are made for between the rigger and gunwhale,but i dont see why you cant use them under the gunwhale,which is what i assume you are looking to do.amazon has them for 28 bucks and free shipping.

i just booked a room for the lotsa fishing expo through hotels.com.it is the quality hotels and suites on first st.it is less than .10 of a mile from the confrence center and the room was 60 bucks a night.this was half price and on a limited time,so if you need a cheap room,check it out.

anyone from oswego/mexico bay area interested in putting a team together for this tourny?i think it would be cool if we could put a team or maybe even a couple together to fish out west.if we could do this maybe then the west end guys would do the same for the oswego pro-am!!!just a thought

drop a 16 lb ball from any rigger and it is gona bounce,from my experience from this past season of lots and lots of ups and downs,the stxs are a good buy.
