  1. Currently I have traxtech tracks on each side with each rigger on a riser. It's necessary for them to be on a riser in order to swivel and clear a the edge on the side of the islander. Each track is supported underneath with plates. Guess my biggest worry is the base cracking. I do see that cannon sells stainless bases. That is an option or for probably the same total price of doing all 3 riggers or a small amount more I could use a heavy aluminum or steal rail/riser and remove a large amount of the bounce. It would also give me a few more inches of height on those choppy days. Anyone no where I can get risers? Maybe they call them something else.
  2. on an aluminum boat I am assuming? should I change out to a heavy duty base? I believe they sell them.
  3. I have an islander with 3 Cannon stx riggers. They are super fast. When they stop at the top they bounce. To me it bounces a lot. I am curious as to anyone's experience here because I am concerned about possibly losing a downrigger. Maybe I am just paranoid. This is my first year with the set up and I am considering an aluminum or steel railing to mount riggers and rod holders to for extra support. I know more is probably better but I would prefer to forgo the expense. Any advise or ideas would be appreciated.
  4. and 3.0 liter v6. mercury and merc out drive as well.
  5. sorry didn't put the year. 87.
  6. selling my older trolling boat because I did a serious upgrade last fall. it's a 19 ft starcraft medalist set up to fish. boat comes with canvas top, 2 or 4 crank down riggers. Lawrence Fish finder/gps, and rod holders. Great started boat. boat needs work but great for a do it yourselfer. it needs universal gear and new motor mount so selling well below value. 1800 obo. I do not know how to get pics on here. if interested i can text them over. other then the needed repairs it's in great condition for the age.
  7. Oops how many did you catch
  8. is it worth trailering over from sodus area now? it seems pretty much over here for Kings
  9. Taking some guys out of Hughes tomorrow morning and they really want to get some Kings I have heard suggestions that we should start very deep if anybody's been out there the last couple days and had any luck please let me know
  10. I was out yesterday. We started in 250 didn't look to good trolled into around 100. Did a skippy as we were picking up to head deep. Ran out to 670 had 3 quick wacks. Landed Skippy and small steelhead. Then nothing for about an hour. Screens looked ok out deep. Heard browns were going so we picked up and ran into 30 ft. Fished that for 45 min with nothing and called it at 12. Things are mixed up but if you want some kings I would say go deep.
  11. Landshark-- I have 12lb black cannonballs.
  12. Out today and had a ton of fish streak up to look at my riggers but yet wouldn't take it. Had a mix of ff and spoons out. We did try different speeds and directions. Any suggestions would be great!
  13. Wondering if anybody is doing good in that area today
  14. Patriot that's different. I have never seem anything like it. Where can they be ordered
  15. Ok thanks. We found fish and had a ton of streakers but they just wouldn't go. We did try many directions but maybe should have been more methodical in our approach to it. Maybe something like marking a fishy spot on the GPS then hitting it in a few different directions at different speeds of nothing then move on. And the currents were terrible we had to run fewer lines and had some tangles.
  16. Glad you had some action. We were fishing in the same water and passed you a few times and am frustrated to say we had zero action. We tried multiple spoons, meat, different Flys, paddles, different speeds. We tried everything! I have been getting some coaching from others and I may be getting to much information but any suggestions would be great.
  17. Nice! Thanks for the information.
  18. Thought I would ask people to weigh in on their opinions for the best paddle, flasher or attractor to run with meat and fly. Include the brand, size and color. I think this will help many people.
  19. Have been told it's a bad idea to run my 500 copper off the boards at a shorter amount let's say 300. Is this mainly because of the cooper weighing your line down from boat to board line? Also if I want to mark my copper every 100ft what is a good method that will hold up.
  20. Correction the king on the cheater came on a ms green easter egg.
