I was happy to see you with a cowbell & a threaded dead bait. I have 4 down rigger's on my 18 footer and that's the way we fish for them In ontario. I guess you have it figured out by the looks of the pictures.
Steve was suggesting a MHF gathering on the island he camped at; seems like a great idea bet we'd all have a blast!! Couple nights of campin and great fishin, Not to mention the scenery up there!
There's a lot of island sites if you check here.http://www.reserveamerica.com/camping/map_of_Glen_Island_Lake_George_Is/r/campgroundMap.do?page=map&search=site&contractCode=NY&parkId=140&topTabIndex=CampingSpot
