  1. I can get my riggers down there no problem. I have 10lb weights so they have some blowback. I’ve been borrowing some of my buddies dipsy divers, and TX44s which I’ve been running my copper and lead off, caught fish on the riggers and the dipsys, nothing on the 300 copper yet because the fish were hanging down 110 FOW when I was there. Ran the coppers all day. Just want to get deeper on the coppers. I think the snap weights will do me fine for this year though 

  2. Thank you, right now I run 2 riggers, 2 divers, and I have a 300 copper and 300 lead. I was out this past week and the fish were 120 Fow and deeper. Made my copper and lead useless. But I was talking to my buddy and he said that buying a long copper this year might be pointless because they’ll start getting shallower. But I was thinking about the snap weight thing. I have a box of 2 oz snaps. I almost added like 4 or 5 to the copper to get it to sink more but I didn’t pull the trigger on it. 

  3. I was hoping to drag my boat up to Oswego this Friday to do some fishin for the first time on my own, if the wave forecast holds true. I was hoping to get some Lakers, but I just read the season closes Sept 30th. What else could I go for this time of year, Browns, Salmon, maybe even walleye?

     

    I'm new to this whole great lakes thing, so please excuse my ignorance if I said something stupid.

  4. It was a pain. 7 or 8 screws on each of the little side panels, then a pile of screws in the main deck. You have to reach under from the cranking battery hatch and unbolt the ski pylon base. As for a guess on the screws in the main deck I’d say 15 or so. When we got it all loose, we moved some of the foam out from one side and slid the deck over to lift out the other side. You can’t pick it straight out.

    Also, take off the foam gaskets where the hatch lids touch. I ended up putting a small tear in one because I didn’t get them moved out of the way.
    Ohh, so the foam must be what's getting me. Also 3 of the screws on the main deck were in basically sideways and stripped. Had to drill them out. Still gotta remove the shanks once I actually get the deck off.

    Thanks. I was starting to fear for the safety of that rear platform with how aggravated I was getting. You might of saved it!

  5. I have a 2102 Targa 18 that I use to run on Lake Ontario until I upgraded this past season.
    The issue with track systems on the Targa is the rod locker access on the top of the gunwale is in the way.
    As others have said I would not mount the down riggers on the Versatrack system. Thru-bolt them with a backer plate. 
    The Versatrack system is fine for rod holders though. I had a Big Jon triple holder mounted in the Versatrack with no problems.

    Nice, thank you. I didnt think that I'd be able to get the backer plate in there. Not without killing the back of the rod lockers at least.
