For sure needs to be strapped down. Placement towards the bow helps mitigate the weight of the trolling motor on the stern.

I've got a '97 19.6 Fishmaster. I've located a big 12v gel battery in the floor storage in front of the bow seat for riggers, and a 12 v dual purpose in the stern port side.

Great thread. From my Dad many years ago. He was trolling n on the east side as he usually did. Off to his port he noticed a loon acting weird. As he passed his rigs (thermocline, thanks Dad) started bobbing. He grabbed the rod,brought it in and of course the loon started moving. Eventually Dad pulled in a rod/reel combo (that I use to this day) he pulled the line in as close as he could and cut it. Anyway got a bunch but Dad was there.

I will agree with chrome slayer. I shoot a savage with smokeless and the powerbelts produce fine accuracy but I have had dismal expansion results on 3 deer. I no longer use them.

A bit off topic but my neighbor and I recently planted a dozen chestnuts down in Seneca cnty. I planted the collossul (sp) chestnut out of I think washington st.supposed to be blight resistant. My kids will find out.

Sorry Mr.Blue GOast, wasn't meant for you. My fat fingers on a tiny phone. Apologies.

I heard you out of towners skipped over to Cayuga Lake where you can catch them with a Micky D French Fry. You heard us locals have them scoped out. You're right. 🤣🤣🤣

Beautiful fish Steve. Things are picking up down near Lodi too.

Don't be coming back to old school me now old salt. I don't like being crowded 🤣

You gained a fine son-in-law as well. A lot to be proud of old timer.

Wwwwwhat a second. Is that Cayuga Lake???

Was on the east side of the barge this afternoon and came upon two good sized buoys a couple hundred yards apart. Anyone know anything about them? If they are out there after dark I hope they are illuminated. Sent from my SM-F711U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Frogger and crew congratulations on a well planned and executed derby. Well deserved.

Gambler I would like to buy your outriggers but will be in Connecticut this weekend. Can I send you a check and figure out pickup later?

Post office tells me you will get them Monday.

I can send you 10 primers no charge. Would like to get postage back. Two or three years ago I sent a fellow on here an almost new left hand level wind reel no charge. Still waiting for the postage lol.
