How can you catch stripers?We used linecounter reels and drifted large minnows right through big marks on fishfinder but no takers.

We fished for walleyes here on our local lake last evening with spinner harnesses and worm rigs.Walleyes were not biting but had 50 or more big stripers literally jumping out of water near boat as they forced alewifes to surface.Bait shop opened at 7am going to get large minnows and head out to lake for the day.Hoping they want minnows,lures or night crawlers,lol.Have a great day everyone!!!!!Hey Barry fishing will pick up it's nearly fall.

Great picture of a fisherman enjoying his free time lol

OK this is over with let's all go on with our own lifes.How does one put a picture and where you are from on here? I am from Lehighton,Pa. and love fishing upstate New York which I have been doing for nearly 40 years now!!!!!

I never said anything bad on here just stating the facts.I was told there was absolutely nothing wrong with the boat.I never got to hear the motor run because owner had to work overtime the afternoon I went to pick it up.I knew there could be something wrong because of AS IS but I took the gamble and now I'm fixing it up and will still have a great deal.Yes the purchase price in my eyes was a steal and I am happy to own this boat!

Update:I had another motor put in boat and now marina mechanic ready to put new gimbal bearing in lower unit plus few other minor repairs before boat will be ready to put on lake.Sure glad I have my 18 foot boat to use till this Starcraft Islander is ready to go.

I wanted to be safe and precheck. Sucks getting stranded on Lake Ontario or any big water when you break down out there.Owner of the motel I stay at has his own garage business also guy who runs motel for him was a previous mechanic so they hooked up water hose to the motor and heard the missing.They ran compression check and found the bad cylinder.I dropped boat off at Marine 2000 over in Brewerton yesterday on my way back to Pa. for second opinion and repair if needed.

I had boat motor checked out before heading out on water.Marina mechanic found three cylinders at 150 which is normal but one only 50 so going to cost me some bucks to get motor either fixed or put new motor in.However I got the rig at a great price so will deal with it and end up with a super boat,motor and trailer when all is said and done!!!!!

Thank you.I have been fishing on my 18 footer with Mercury 115 four stroke on Ontario for years so this is a big stepup for me.I am quite sure I will like the Starcraft Islander hardtop very much.

I bought this boat few days ago so it's SOLD
