    I need deck (wood) replacement and transom wood replaced on a 1972 (I think) 17'starcraft aluminum boat. I live in Binghamton NY 13901 area code. Could be a winter project for someone handier than myself. The transom work I would think would be the toughest part because I think it may require removing rivots? Not sure though. I will obviously send pictures and if possible bring to or have visit. Interested, no someone, somewhere or suggestions would be great. Thanks Steve (Slamminsam)

    I want to get a light action rod for downrigging the fingers. Most of the rods I'm looking at (Shimano tdr/ Okuma classic pro GLT) are rated #10 - #20. Can I put #30 Flea flicker on these rod or will they not handle it. Also, what do you guys think about these rods? Or should I go with the Shakespear Ugly Stx trollers...just a little more coin. I'm a newbie to the down riggin scene. I bought 2 Okuma convector 45 line counters...hope they're not too big...Finger lakes mostly. Any help would be great, thanks

    Thanks for the feed back. Now I already have the 45 convectors...is a 8'3" lightweight rod going to handle those reels. And my biggest question is, can I run #30 pound fleaflicker on a rod rated #10-#20. That is my concern buying a rod in a light weight action...

    Will be hitting Onieda this week for first time with an early morning run into mid morning with my son (Birthday boy 10yrs old, double digits)...eyes. Any help would be great. Where and what...not gps coordinates, just general (fow). PM me if that's better...I really appreciate it. Thanks

    Just started downrigging and need help selecting rod and reels. Here's what I have and will be doing: Have 2 Okuma convector 45 line counters...have #30 Flea flicker line on one of them (been told fleas get bad in Finger Lake) That is where I'll be doing majority of down rigging. Targeting Lakers, Browns and Salmon and of course some Walleyes. Occasional Otisco Tigers. Have #10 balls...Small Scotty down riggers (2) Need more weights...only have one, barrowing another. Looking to get two rods for the convectors....to down rig troll. Options I'm looking at: Shimono TDR trolling rods or Okuma Classic Pro GLT trolling rods. I'm concerned that the 8'6" are going to be too stiff in a med. or med/heavy. But I have the #30 flea flicker for fleas? Most of the Medium light rods are rated for #10-#20. Help, thoughts? Thanks, Slamminsam

    Help me find a fishing boat. I'm looking for a deep -v to troll the finger lakes. Used boat in good to great shape. Motor needs to be turn key...4 stroke is perfered but 2-stroke is a possibility. If you have or know of one...I'm listening. I'm in the Binghamton NY area, but will come look and buy if it fits the bill....Down riggers, gps, ff, trolling motor, outboard, are some of the features I'm looking for. Sorry so specific, didn't want to waiste your time.

    Hello fellow anglers......my first time visiting and posting. I post on other fishing sites (my fishfinder, ice shanty, etc.) and was introduced to this site. I look forward to sharing and reading some great advice from you, the pro's. Good luck, be safe and tight lines. Slammin Sam
