My boat is very similar to yours and last year i had my riggers of the back, straight out. I hated it because it crowded the back of the boat when netting a fish. This year i moved them toward the front about 2', and have them angled at a 45 from directly back.
Here is my setup. You can see the old marine plywood where they used to be. Now they are on a track. Good luck!
That is a great set up- I think that is how I will do it! Hope your slayin’ em out there. Thanks- much appreciated!!!

I just bought a Lund and it had two Downrigger Brackets that slide into Sport Track and have a set Screw on outside, it also has Canon Swivel Mounts on Bracket, I took them off and will not be using them for two Reasons, the first reason is I am going to be using Traxtech tracks the full length of my Boat, and the Second reason is I have Scotty Downrigger and the Mounts are for Canon Downriggers, if you are interested I can sell you these at a Fair Price? Pm Me if interested if not that's ok too, just thought I'd throw it out there

Thats is nice to have a full track system im sure it will be great for ya. I am not sure if I would want/need a swivel bracket. I was really leaning towards runnin 2 downriggers aft area pointed straight back and 2 dipsies more forward angled outbpard. I will certainly let you know if I change my mind and thank you for asking.

no problem. yes the cisco's are sturdy.they lock into the sport track and rest on the gunnels. the mounts i bought from lund lock into the sport track and sit above the gunnel so with a long boom down rigger it put a lot of stress on that sport track. i ended up making some support brackets to give it more strength
Thats excellent to know- hopefully yours is nice and sturdy now- Thanks!!!

the cisco mounts for lunds are nice. i wish i would have used them on my lund
Thanks Shawn, I ran across the Ciscos a few weeks back. They all had great reviews and looks sturdy. They have 45 degree and 90 degrees ones so I would have to make sure I am getting the correct mate to my track. It also appears for the Cannons you need an adapter plate with them. Looks like I am giving them a call! Thanks again!

Hi all- found this site and it looked interesting to me. I have a 2017 Lund Rebel XS Sport 1750 that I have been enjoying this summer. My goal here is to share knowledge that I have and gain some from the true experts as well so we all can have better fishing experiences.
I am new to trolling out on the lake as I used to fish the creeks and lower Niagara for Salmon, Steelies, and everything else.
I fish out of Olcott and Wilson.
Ive been using a dipsy set up with flasher/fly combo on one and a Magnum on the other. Last week managed to bring in a 20 lb’ish steelie. My son had a nice King on that got away- live and learn!
So here is my rookie question for my type of boat- I havent installed a downrigger setup yet partially for fear of not knowing what to get and also because I was learning with the dipsy’s- baby steps! For a boat my size w/the lund track system what would be the best (not to break the bank) mounting bracket for a cannon or scotty set up?
Thanks to all!!!
Dave

Drifted/bottom bounced 3 way with minnows lower Niagara youngstown to Coast Guard Station Monday evening lookin for some Kings. Ended up nabbin a pig Catfish and a few smallies. After it got dark headed up to Lewiston drift and casted some glow spoons- it was pitch dark and gracefully bowed out.
