Boat question

[4spdragtop]

Hi all, my new 2005 Lund has what they call "Sport Trak" system for mounting accessories(rod holder, cup holder etc). This is only in the bow portion of the boat. The main part doesnt have it unfortunately.
I dont want to screw into the gunnel and have it fixed in one place. I want to have some flexibility. Anyone added a rail/track system?

Thanks

Wow, sorry I missed this one Steve! What did you end up doing? I like the track system idea.

Hey Dan, sorry missed your reply here. I ended up going Cannon. I bought a couple and cut some down. Still have another track I may put on rear portside. Just 2 beside console on either side.

Those are slick! Good choice

Thanks Doug, yes, zero complaints(other than price lol). I was contemplating getting a down rigger, that's why I got extra track. But I can't be bothered with the "hassle" of it.

Do you ever get after salmon on one of those Great Lakes that borders Ontario?

 

[4spdragtop]

No, never had it on any of the Great Lakes, Lake Ontario is approx 45 min from me, but I would feel better in a bigger boat lol. Bay of Quinte is on the list. Its approx 1 1/2 hours and part of Lake Ontario. Workd renowned Wallye. Hastings also.

Bay of Quinte

Looks awesome! I wonder if a scaled down version of a cut plug rig would work for both Chinook and walleye. Hmmm.
I run “deep six” divers at 2.5ish miles per hour to troll without running that down rigger. The largest ones will get you down quite a ways…

Wow! That's pretty quick. Mid to northern MN we try to troll between 1 and 1.5 MPH. Lazier walleye, perhaps?

Oh, wait. I see you're running deep, while we usually "long line" at no more than 30 feet or so. No down riggers.

I think I was walleye fishing when I caught my first chinook. Mouth of the Manistique River in the UP.
Most of the salmon I catch here are less than 20’ in the ocean. I’ll have to pay more attention as that gps speed over ground may be with a current…

I’ll drop down if it’s a slow day and the bait balls are around 75’ or more. Not my favorite way to fish.

Hey you caught a chinook too!

Lol, no Chinook, but a couple bass.
