So my son picked up a Spectrum 170 boat and we plan to do some fishing on local lakes but would also thinking of going to Erie for perch fishing in the fall and maybe a little near shore walleye trolling in spring and early summer. I plan to pull some boards that I made a couple of years ago. I myself have never been the captain on the boat on Erie I have always been with either a Charter Captain or my uncle’s boat. I have been on a charter several times where i acted t as first mate I handled the boat while captain would prepare rods and rigging then I would put out the lines. Not saying I’m a pro but that I’m not totally inexperienced.
This will be a couple trips a year not a every day gig so I want to keep costs down on my rigging was planning to use a mast to run the boards. If anyone has a small rig setup could you send me some pics as well as what you like and what you would change. Again I have a clean slate and have not started anything so I’m just trying to avoid mistakes.
I’m a machinist with access to equipment so I will most likely make as much of fittings as possible.
