I just got my boat from out back and was checking everything out when I noticed that the power cables coming out of my Mag 20's were cracking when I tried to move them the cable is hard as a rock.It looks like it's hard from where they were in the sun the parts that were covered up are fine. the cracks are showing bare wires now has anyone ever had this problem? these mag 20's were new about 5 or 6 years ago. My old mag 10's ran for 15 years with no problems with the power cables they are still very flexible. Does anyone know if these are part of there warranty?

John Good luck and say Hi to Jimmy and Karen for me.Oh ya Bob also

drill the rivot out of the release and put a screw thru a termanal hooked to the downrigger cable with a locking nut screw it down and your good to go.Some where there is a picture of this set up. here is a post that will help you scroll down to JD post that is a great picture of what I think you are talking about http://www.lakeontariounited.com/fishin ... 82&start=0

So No more Boom Right :?:

Reeldiel I know :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I don't have a choice I live 326 miles from Fair Haven and 426 miles from the bar The gas is more than the room and food I use to be able to come that way for under 200 for everything for 5 days now It's a killer but you only live once and like Reeldiel said stop feeding the kritters then the wife, I can't stop feeding my little one she is my life but every one else seeYA

Yankee great story. Nice fish also. I believe that is the first King of the year from down this way no? or Have I missed a post. great job guys love to here it.

Johnson5 Welcome to the site.There is quite a few guys that go out of Fair Haven. I have been going out of there from 1982 to present. Never got there last year but hopefully I can get up there this fall.Good luck with the new Boat.

So the boom was lifted around the same time last year if I remember right. That means we are on the same course as we were last spring putting us a week or so latter than normal I think. Let the FUN begin :mrgreen: Thanks for all the info gentlemen

Thanks for the info Tim.

I think I read that they were pulling it on the 4th of April but haven't heard anything so I figured I would ask. From the picture on the site above there is still quit a bit of ice at the boom. If they let it go early what would happen, would it destroy things on it's way to the lake?

call first thing in the morning when they open or you will be waiting a LONG LONG LONG time!!

Does any one know if or when they are pulling the Boom? :mrgreen:

Mark if you go to there web site you can see what they have done I belive most of the finger lakes are High def now. here is there site. http://www.navionics.com/HMPremium08Catalog.asp Hope this helps

stinger what type of boat do you have? I'm just curios

muskybob if your smart just make sure you sleep on your back :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

You tell'em Ray :mrgreen: MM just put your time in and it will pay off plus It's still early in the game .you will hit them not to worry Then you can show Ray how to catch them :mrgreen:

Billy the Boat looks great. Hows the new Home? Nice looking fish. Can't wait to head up your way I hope to get the boat out of the back yard this week. The ground is almost ready to go so I don't sink up to my axles in mud pulling her out :mrgreen: .

I had that idea in the back of my mind(What's left of it :roll: ) but wasn't sure. That's why I had to ask first It must be nice to have a 12 foot beam to play on. Thanks for the replys back guys.

??????? I'm lost :?

Cwmwnw welcome to the site. This time of year they are still in the western basin in canada as the water warms they will start to head to the east. The Niagara bar is a good place to be in the beginning of may. I'm by means no expert but Go west young man go west. You can still pick up Kings in the eastern basin but the western end is the best in May. Just my 2 cents

Rich I also tried to get him to post on this site I didn't know he was sponsoring the Little salmon. That's great. He is a nice guy to do business with.

Stinger thanks for the pictures. I also thought is was a atlantic. but now I know the difference. See you can teach old dogs new trick :mrgreen:
