I used to keep my boat at Cornell's Marina at the South end of the harbor. All covered boathouses, which I really liked. Keeps the sun & weather off your boat.

I honestly don't know if it was an in-store price or not. A big flyer came to the house the other day and I glanced at it and then put it in the recycling bin. My guess is that it's an in-store price as they were promoting their fishing classic. I have two of the new ADP47LC's and two of the ADP27LC's. I plan to run wire on the 47's to see how well they hold up to that abuse. The 27's will just get spooled with light line for brown fishing. I really like what I've seen of them so far.

I saw an ad for Bass Pro's big fishing sale this weekend and they had the New Accudepth Plus on sale for something like $44.95.

Yeah, I'd LOVE to get in on it!

I surf the GLA site and have seen those reviews too, thanks! I've been going through Northeast Marine Electronics for several years now, but given the cost of this unit, I'm willing to shop around for the best price.

I haven't been down to look for sure, but my guess is that the ice let loose. I just drove down 13 past the South end, and there's a ton of ice in the lake, and the mud plume is huge. I did drive by Fall Creek behind the High School, and it's very high and dirty. With the rain and warm temps we've had today, I'd say we're gonna be looking at flood conditions soon.

Thanks guys. I've talked to a couple of guys who own the 585 and they have the 600w 'ducer and say it has plenty of power. I have 500w RMS on my current sonar, and it's nice, but I'd like a bit more zip. The 1kw 'ducer is something like $400 more than the 600w model, so it's kinda hard to justify, especially when I hear good t hings about the 600w. They're both running the thru-hull 'ducer, which is my plan too. I'll let you know what I decide...it'll be a mid-summer project at the earliest. Thanks again, Bill

I've been considering upgrading the sonar unit on my boat, and have been looking at the Furuno 585, among others. Do any of you have one, and if so, how do you like it? Have there been any issues with it? Would you recommend upgrading to the 1kw transducer, or is the 600 w transducer enough? Any feedback you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

GORGEOUS rig! Maybe someday.... :roll: :roll:

As always, Fair Haven!!

Erin, I'm sure we could fit four of us on your boat. I'd definitely be interested!!!! Please keep me in the loop as you begin to make plans.

That's always been on my fishing "to-do" list....someday....

I've been reading this thread since it started, and I just wanted to chime in and say that running the river like you guys do looks like a TON of fun! Way to go, and thanks for helping those of us who aren't fishing yet to get through the winter! Great pics!!

I second Hank's suggestion. You'll shorten your learning curve dramatically by taking a charter. I've been watching all of the posts you've been making over on the GLA board too, and what works on Lake Michigan, etc. doesn't necessarily work on Lake Ontario for a multitude of reasons. There are quite a few very good charter boats over in Sodus, and you'd do yourself a huge favor by hiring one of them and watching what they do and how they do it.

Hey Larry, welcome to the site! Thanks for the tip!

Good point Rich D. I also put a piece of electrical tape on the spool first, then tie the knot. And mikejonestkd is right...put it on TIGHT!!!

I've always tied the wire directly to the spool using a modified clinch knot. I've never used backing and have never had the need to.

I use Firefox at work, and Exploder at home. Firefox is soooo much nicer, except some of the sites I visit at nite from home (all fishing sites :roll: :roll:) don't work well on Firefox. Plus my accounting software doesn't work at all with Firefox.

Erin, We leave the trail feature on most of the time. When we get on a school of active fish it helps us duplicate the line we had been taking fish on. The screen ends up a mess, but it sure does help.

Call Screwy Louies and talk to Brendan. 315-947-6348. Or PM me and I'll get your email addy to Popeye, who runs it. Bill

Great RR. We'll just figure out a time to meet.

It's August 25th.

Rusty Rat, I went back and looked at some pictures and it appears that I have my high profile bases mounted to the top of swivel bases: It's been so long since I put that all together that I forgot how I mounted them!

Chaos, I replied to your email. From what I can see online, it looks like they'll fit the Unitroll 6. It looks to me like you'll need a base for the Unitroll to bolt on top of the swivel base.
