Well Jeremy I have'nt mounted my down riggers on my boat yet. Right now I'm trying to sell it. I really don't think it will be a problem to mount or to operate. The biggest problem that I see with the down riggers is that you will have to kneel on the deck to operate them. If I decide to keep my boat I will put them on for sure and I'll let you know. When I was trolling at the Gorge I was in a 19 foot Crestliner, we trolled like Predator said about 1.5 mph we also did good around 1.8 to 2 mph. If you go for Bass start on the Wyoming side around Buckboard Marina. Anvil is also a good place to start. The smaller bass will beat the crap out of your lure up shallow so try and fish around 10 to 15 foot (weed beds oh ya). Late evenings have also been good for me in the past for the larger bass. Have fun and don't be afraid to take a limit of those smaller bass we need to thin them out.<br><br>
