An old school picture...I wish I had a camera from all the days of Charter fishing from age 10-18...lots of great fish and I have no pics for show...the best brown was a 28 1/2 pounds caught off the high rocks east of the nuke plants, back in 1989...it was a hog! caught it on a little blue and white stinger spoon...I waschanging the lure, I popped the downrigger and let it flutter up and about 10 seconds after I popped it the rod took off like a salmon...I'm gonna try to get a pic...
I've been keeping my eyes open for a 16' deep V, but very few ever come up for sale. If they do they've got a trailer and motor.
If you want to fish Ontario with confidence, I'd get a 18 footer or better..
What are you looking to spend on a 16.5 footer??
