Opinions on Parker, Steiger and Defiance Pilot Houses
finsntins replied to RodBuster's topic in This Old Boat
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. -

Looking for a Dock to rent while on VK
finsntins replied to KJ Louise's topic in Open Lake Discussion
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 have 2 cannon classic electric riggers.i believe they are similar to mag 10s.they are older riggers,but in great shape.they have solid ss booms.i bought these last year and used them every weekend with no troubles,i used 13 lb weights,they are a little slow,but very reliable.i will sell them with swivel bases,2 shark weights and 400ft of brand new big jon cable.i can deliver to the pulaski area to save on shipping,id rather not ship.heading that way this weekend.if you are interested,please call and i can send pics to your cell phone,i cant figure out how to on here.i wont send pics if you dont call.id like to get 400 bucks for the pair.315-357-4337.jason. -
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.

Cleaning fish before returning to port?
finsntins replied to markmonkey1's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
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.

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.

got up this morning and looked at the thermometer and it was reading -20!!!,i like the cold and snow,but since i got hooked on fishing lake o,my tolerance for the winter is shrinking.so i went out and started cleaning up the yard,moving trailers and stuff to get snow banks pushed back and as i was working around the boat,i just couldnt stop thinking about her,so after a few pushes i said the hell with it,im gona pull her out.so after about an hour of digging and sanding so i could get some traction,out she came!!! so now she is sitting in the middle of the driveway so maybe next week i can start getting some work done.THINK SPRING!!!!!!!
