We wrap ours in towels and store them in our live well (we use it for storage). Our Dock lines are stored there as well. But then again we don't have a ton of storage on a center console boat. We get by though with the space we have. Just have to be a little creative.

We thought about trying Owasco however with mixed reports it has been a hard sell. How deep are people fishing?

My wife and I trolled it. Marked a lot of fish and some bait. The only problem is the patches and lines of surface weeds. Our dipsy divers were full of them and our down riggers were blown back farther than we wanted. We decided to pack it in and travel the canal back to cayuga where we were successful the day before. Good luck!

Being new to trolling and only experimenting at around 2.5-3mph, what speed do you usually troll at (not to hijack the thread but seems relevant given the subject of speed) Thanks!

Under about 25' use the 200. Over I go to my 50. You would do 77

Thanks for the advice, going to be camping and fishing Cayuga this weekend so will give it a go. New to fishing from a boat so this is a learning curve for me. Our current set up is a good start in my opinion based on what others recommended. The boat is only 17 feet and is a deep V center console with a 2007 mercury 60hp bigfoot and a 4hp 4 stroke kicker for trolling (a little on the shaky side but it maintains speed well after its set) We have two Cannon uni troll 10 STX down riggers and a 10lb ball and a 8lb. The only knowledge we have of using these is what I have read online and talking with others. I apologize if I have any questions that would seem like fairly common knowledge but were still learning and appreciate the help. One more question however regarding the kicker: What it be better to upgrade eventually to a two cylinder model to reduce the vibration and is it worth the extra cost? We don't have a ton of room on the back. Right now the 4hp has been extremely fuel efficient and reliable (a new engine so that is not surprising). Thanks!

I have the 550 and prefer the 77 kHz.
Good luck and tight lines.
Thanks, I appreciate it! Will have to give it a try.

Nice! Question about your electronics as I am running a Garmin echo map 43dv on our center console.
What in your opinion is a better setting 77khz or 200khz?
Thanks!

Agree. At what point does it cross the lines of fair chase.

Thats a good point! So is this though:
Boaters CODE OF ETHICS
I will respect the rights of all users of the recreational waterways, both on public waters and on adjacent private property.
I will be considerate at the launch ramps and docks. I will get on and off the ramps quickly and not delay others.
I will follow the navigation rules of the road around all other vessels. I will learn and observe my state’s rules on wake jumping.
I will give all fishing, anchored, or drifting vessels plenty of room.
I will always operate at headway speed in "no wake" zones.
In reality the original post is (in my opinion) reflecting on the manner in which he was treated in regards to this encounter. The operator of the sailing vessel was not using proper etiquette while operating his radio and shouting demands that were not directed at any one vessel specifically. This causes confusion and possibly could result in an accident.
