  1. Thanks for the detailed report Rick.
  2. Mike, I fish nearshore brown trout and salmon from a Crestliner Commander 1850. Yes, you pick the days, wind and waves. That particular model is very high sided, your thighs hit the gunnel when standing, and your toes slide under the sides. All leads to a very secure feeling. It probably exceeds your tow rating however. I pull mine with a plain old F150. I have dealt with Rick Hajecki, Yankee Troller, through Krenzer for a repower and electronics upgrade. Very easy transactions, honest guy and I highly recommend him.
  3. I'll take 3. Ordering info?
  4. Is the launch open, accessible and is anyone fishing? Thanks
  5. Everything Sk8man said, plus the biggest decision is between a flipover or a hub. I had a small eskimo hub and it was really tough for me to get in and out of. Sold it and found a one man flipover. Worked way better for me. The plan was to be able to move more easily from spot to spot. I get lazy and a usually stay too long over NO fish however. I'd take a walk out to a popular spot and ask guys what the like and don't like about their setups. Way better information that most dealers can give and you can see first hand. . Lastly, with all of the snow this winter, a smitty sled is essential if you are pulling anything by had.
  6. I just used Krenzer in Sodus late in the fall to upgrade from a 90 merc to a 150. Very happy. Get in touch with Rick Hajecki, Crazy Yankee on here. Dealers are out at shows, should have some deals available.
  7. Nice resolution. Not being familiar with Humminbirds, were you running High CHIRP? Thinking of going with this transducer on my older HDS GEN 3
  8. thanks, on Christmas list
  9. Nice trip. Good point about less complicated lets clients be more involved. I'm sure they enjoyed it.
  10. Wanted: lost my Fish Hawk probe last night☹️ Any used ones still out there or will I have to go to a new rechargeable? Opinions from those who have switched appreciated
  11. I finally did it….snapped off my x4d probe and rigger weight yesterday. Now I find out the probes are discontinued in favor of the rechargeable lithium models. what are the thoughts on the new models vs the old standard? I’d be interested if anyone wants to sell a used one.
  12. Still trying to sell this. Make an offer.
  13. That screenshot of the lures you used is priceless for a newbie like me who gets confused with the random names lure manufacturers come up with for their patterns. thanks
  14. 4 cannon long arms, multiple rod holders, odd parts that I saved. cleaning out. Near Alexandria Bay. $100 takes everything!
  15. 30 to 60 inch, connects to supplied bracket on frame. Angled design. Like new. near Alexandria Bay
  16. One pair homemade planer boards, masts with reels and hi vis, non stretch line, dozen releases. Boards are red cedar, track true and PULL TIGHT. Masts are 5 ft and have Robert’s reels. Releases work as they should. Cleaning up things I no longer need or use. Alexandria Bay
  17. Thanks for always being willing to share. I learn something new from every video.
  18. Does anyone have any experience with these low priced triple rod trees? My use would be for near shore walleye and brown trout fishing. Crazy low price. I know i would have to do some base modification to use them in my Bert's tracks. https://www.amazon.com/RIAHNEAH-Stainless-Launcher-Adjustable-Accessories/dp/B0CQ4L5V31/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=YdxQm&content-id=amzn1.sym.255b3518-6e7f-495c-8611-30a58648072e%3Aamzn1.symc.a68f4ca3-28dc-4388-a2cf-24672c480d8f&pf_rd_p=255b3518-6e7f-495c-8611-30a58648072e&pf_rd_r=SGZBGZCC6RA8QYPMXA2G&pd_rd_wg=zxbVp&pd_rd_r=5d7b9e07-bc5c-4022-985a-533fc99a39f2&ref_=pd_hp_d_atf_ci_mcx_mr_ca_hp_atf_d
  19. I put a 90 hp Mercury 4 stroke on mine with a 9.9 kicker without issue.
  20. I have a 2016 Crestliner Commander, welded aluminum, that has a factory paint, NOT BOTTOM PAINT, white, on the bottom. It is left in the water at my dock April through November. When I pull it in the fall, it is an absolute mess and much harder to get clean than any boat I’ve ever had. Has anyone ever put bottom paint on aluminum? I know Interlux makes a formula specifically for aluminum. If I prep it myself should I try to remove all of the factory paint or just get a good scuff on it? Any info, opinions or contacts would be appreciated.
  21. My experience tells me something way more simple: If the motor can’t keep up with the conditions (for an amount of time that I an unsure if) it will protect itself and give up. If you are close enough to hear it will give you a chirp from the motor. It could be under mild stress with discharged batteries or getting blown too far off mark with good ones.
