    With the price of new electrics in the $400 range... I would be willing to throw some money at this. These 10A are plenty for what I do. I'll have to see if I can find a model number on the motor and maybe bring it to an auto parts store?

    Thanks for the info, I sent them an email and will see what they have to say.

    Unfortunately it lists the motor for these as "part not available". I'm assuming because these are older downriggers most of the major parts are discontinued.

    Downrigger Motor Rebuild Anyone ever had an electric downrigger motor rebuilt? I have a pair of cannon Mag 10A and one motor is significantly weaker than the other, to the point it can barely raise a 10# ball. Hate to junk these without exploring all options first. I know nothing about electric motors so I guess the first question is can these even be repaired? Is a replacement motor an option?

    Your saying run plugs in the lake not the river right? What would I do if I was forced to fish in the river?

    Planning on heading up Sat and launching out of Salmon River lighthouse. Will be my first time fishing out of this area. My question is the forecast doesn't look the greatest for a smaller boat (18ft). I'd like to fish the lake but to avoid a wasted trip I figured I could fish the salmon river right? I know they are catching fish out of the river now, how far down can I go in the boat? What's the trick in the river for catching them? Hopefully doesn't involve casting sponge on a big hook, like it does further down river. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Wow you guys eat these? We catch some big one out of Oneida Lake, only problem is the usually have some nasty looking growths on them that always made me toss them back. This one was on the clean side but still not pretty. A fun battle for sure though.

    We got out around 2 and fished til 7 marks all over 110-150 fow. Finally hooked up with a personal best lake trout 18lb on green spin doctor with a green iron duke fly on 265 dipsy in 150ft. Gonna try again in the am. He only had one eye but still managed to see that setup! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Over 9 mph... Wow I check weather at the state park in fair haven almost daily and it always seems to be in the 8-10 mph range. The one time I went out in 6 mph and it was still barely fishable out of an 18 footer. I don't know how you ever manage to get out in a kayak lol. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Headed up Thursday to fish through the weekend... looks like the fishing is pretty decent. Hopefully the weather plays along, no fun out there in an 18ft boat when its blowing. Fingers crossed!

    Looks like you woke up the TROLLS lol. You're in the for sale section with a WTB ad... seems pretty straight-forward. I knew exactly what he meant from his first post.

    Won't drive 20 mins to Fulton for a sale... I guess I wont even bother asking about meeting me halfway. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Yeah it was not a friendly day yesterday either. We went out and gave it an honest effort but didn't even mark a fish. Fished in 120-180 fow marked some bait in 80-100 ft but no fish. Luckily I don't get seasick... Can't say the same for the other guy fishing with me though lol. The rollers were even starting to get to me a little after 6hrs of constant 2-4 footers. Now I see why you guys all have big boats! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    Any comments on conditions tomorrow? Weather channel is calling 5-7 NNE for tomorrow... but they also called for 10-12 today and it was blowing easily 15+ this morning. Nothing worse than a 90 min drive just to turn around and go home (like we already did today). Only have an 18 ft Lund.

    I was up there at 7am and the inlet coming out of little sodus bay had solid 4-5 footers rolling in. Was too much for my 18ft boat so we put her back on the trailer and will try again tomorrow. Weather looks much better with sub 5mph winds all day long.
  16. Nameless Fish
    Well this is less than encouraging... headed to FH in the am maybe Ill make a run towards sodus and try there.

    what do you do to remove them if your fighting a fish? I've seen the "slap" technique but can't imagine doing that while fighting a fish. Also read about people scrapping them off with a plastic knife?
  18. Nameless Fish
    Yup was planning on heading to oswego friday... harborfest pushed me to fair haven.
  19. Nameless Fish

  21. Nameless Fish
    I'm open to launching from someplace different... I just heard they weren't catching them in Mexico and they were in Oswego.
  22. Nameless Fish
    Appreciate that but I don't need a place to stay Oswego is less than 90 mins from me. Just looking to do a day trip
  23. Nameless Fish
    I do have dipsy rods but unfortunatly not with wire.
  24. Nameless Fish
    Lot of firsts planned for this coming Friday... First time to Oswego, first time on Ontario and hopefully catching my first salmon! Think we are going to launch from Wrights Marina but that's as much as I have figured out. Any advice on where to go or what to look for would be much appreciated.
