For what I am told the best way to start here is to introduce myself
I am located in the bay of quinte area in Canada
But do cover most of the lake and thousand islands, sackets etc in my normal summer of boating
I am not a veteran fisherman at all (mainly as a kid for pike and walleye)
Going to try my hand at salmon/trout fishing this year on the Lake and stumbled across your website
I have been lurking for a few days and look forward to using some of the information I am starting to pick up
As of right now (dec 2013) I have nothing but the boat and a 1 year old son I would eventually like to teach some of this to
Will be setting the boat up with downriggers and buying the poles and lures etc as I go in hopes of being ready late April 2014 (all of which i do not have yet)
That being said, please excuse any questions that might make me seem a little green as i am just getting my feet wet
Any advice as far as equipment or preferences would be appreciated on all fronts - I assume there are alot of opinions and followers between the brands one way or the other but anything will help to get me started
In addition to that, if there are some "must have" items it would be good to know that so that i can get started in the right direction
I have a fish finder coming that will hook into my existing GPS system (Simrad BSM-1 with transducer for water temp etc)
look forward to talking with you guys and maybe seeing you on the water
