hey giz,12 lb seems light to me for lake o,especially for salmon,unless you plan on letting them run.i use 30 lb big game and just put a 10 lb leader on for browns.

i dont think you want to use that,i would think you would want 5w30,not an i/o guy,but i am a chevy guy and thats what i have always used.

if you think about going used,i have bought stuff from"the bottom feeder",his stuff is top notch.if you are looking for a local shop to buy from,i recommend jons little salmonn tackle shop in mexico,he is a great guy and has alot of product and has always been very helpful,as i am a newbie with alot of questions.

1 sold,3 left.

im just passing this on cause i just bought one and this is what i was told,was 150 yds of 50 lb power pro with 500 ft of copper.

i have 4 diawa 27h reels.all in good working condition.they are level winds without line counters.good for leadcore.i will sell them for 25 each or 40 each filled with lead core.pm or call 315-357-4337.jason

i was on a 25ft parker last year for a tournament in 8 to 10 fters and the boat handled the waves very well.gunnels seemed to be high enough to put your knees against and not have to worry about falling overboard.this boat had a closed transom with a 250 yamie on a bracket.after a few rough days on my boat last year with an open transom and taking waves in the back,i sold it and bought a boat with a closed transom and motor bracket.i feel alot safer with the closed transom out in the big water.both parker and steiger craft are quality boats.

i have a slip at mikes this season,his number is 315-963-3119.nice people,he has gas there and a ramp.bout a 10 minute ride to the lake.

i have only been at this for 2 years now,but i will throw in my 2 cents.i generally like to be between 2 and 2.2.how ever on certain days under certain conditions,it maybe faster.what is important is to pay attention and make a mental note of when you get bit.if things are slow,try making turns,if your probe rigger gets hit,obviously,note the speed and adjust accordingly,but if your other rigger is taking hits,note your probe speed.if your other rigger is on the inside when turning,then you need to slow down a bit,if its your outside rigger getting hit,then you need to speed up a bit.trial and error.dont be affraid to try differnt speeds if things are slow and let the fish tell you what speed to troll at.hope this makes sense,im sure you will get much more advice from guys with alot more experience.

i took a big jon mast and cut it down to about 2 ft with dual pullies and mounted it in the front/middle of my hard top,then mounted the reels on each side of the posts that holds the hard top up in the rear.seems to work for me.if you cant go that way.i was on a boat last year that had a down rigger boom mounted on each side of hard top in the front and the reels mounted in the back of the hard top.if you cant find a mast,i have seen rigger masts and pullies on e-bay,fairly cheap.

tim if that doesnt work,google bobs machine shop,it came up for me.they are out of florida.

not sure where you fish,but if its in the pulaski area,just bring them to juniors,its not worth cleaning them yourself,he charges 2 or 3 bucks a fish.bring them in a cooler,leave with fillets!!!dont even get your hands dirty.

this was my second year going and once again went home with a bunch of stuff at great prices.this is a great show for newbies like me to stock up on equipment and not spend an arm and leg.i would like to talk to more lou members,but dont know anyone,maybe next year we could do name tags with your lou screen name so you can put a face to the name.would make it easier to strike up conversations,just a thought.

took a ride to mexico point after the elotsa show today and was supprised to see water out a couple of miles from shore.we were up there two weeks ago and the ice was out as far as you could see.never thought id say i was happy to see white caps!!!!!think spring

a couple of weeks,thats being optimistic after getting almost two feet of snow on top of the two feet we already had!!!!i like wishful thinking though.did find it funny as i am going to dmv tom. to reg. boat and trailer.

i agree with g-daddy,i use 3m rubbing compound which you can get from napa.if you have or can borrow an electric buffer that would make the project alot qiucker and easier.just becareful on stickers and decals not to burn through them.once you are done,then go over again with colonite marine and aironitics wax.she sure will shine!!!if you have problems with swirl marks try wetting the buffer pad every so often.
