I was there Saturday the 8th. Fishing was no good for us. 3 to 5 foot waves. We fished deeper. I have a bad habit of starting at 150 or 170 and trolling north hoping to find them. I think I miss them too often when they are shallow. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Well, I tried sardines two years ago. Boraxed them. Brined them. They were soft. But I started with the frozen ones so that's probably why. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

the way your transom is designed to extend past where the big motor is attached, this may be a challenge. Looks like a couple options nay work. The basic ez steer bar I have is adjustable to be pretty long, so it would probably work. Maybe another option is to attach the bar from the back of the cavitation plates of both motors. Lastly, you could fabricate an extension arm that goes back from the big motor 6 I he's or a foot, whatever you need. I hope that makes sense. If the regular attachment points won't work, that is what I would do: extend the little arm that goes back from the main motor. In one picture I am pointing to the arm you could extend out farther, I necessary. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Ok but the picture doesn't show the back end of the dipsey. So does the mono to the lure not connect to the back of the dipsey? Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I use the break away Cable that came with the fishhawk. Should I be concerned about using it? Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I was off Olcott June 1. Never saw any bait. Caught one nice King in 150 fow. I went all the way out to 300 fow and back in. Saw stable temps never saw an area of warmer water. I got out about 8 am and only fished a couple hours. My main objective was to check out my boat after the Transom Replacement. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Finally done. Here are some pictures of the inside pieces reattached. I used plywood strips and covered the plywood in fiberglass to reattach them. I used countersunk screws to secure it while it hardened. Then, I used fiberglass Bondo to cover the cut lines. I just have to install the floor panel and the rear door/floor. Thank God this project that started may 8 and took until May 27 is Done. I'm guessing the cost was between 1500- 2000. But I did add a few improvements: third battery, new wires, new fuse panel.

My FF is mounted on the dash, under the Bimini top, so sun is not an issue. I mounted my fish hawk back near the downriggers since I am looking back to the rods all the time anyways. I used the mounts they came with. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Be careful Bob.my Grady Transom is done. Just finishing up the odds and ends. Hopefully I will get out Monday. But doubtful. For sure next weekend. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Productive couple of days. I got the Transom glassed in. Next day I made the floor stringers and floor pieces I had cut out. Today, I glassed in the floor stringers and floor. The Lynn Marie is now structurally sound once again!. Sent from my moto z3 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Before I glued the plywood to the transom, I cut out the 1708 fiberglass to shape. Two layers. One extends 6 inches past the edges. The second extends 9 inches past. I also cut out 45/45 biaxial clothe to tab in the edges of the plywood, before laying on the 1708.
