ERABBIT - I know you can use anything from a 800-1100 series, but I think a 700 series 'bird will do. The CannonLink will also need to be purchased. It's a simple system to put together. If you went to the DT10s then all you would need is their $95 Transducer for the bottom lock feature. Any other questions guys let me know! I am more familiar with the DT10s and Magnum 10STX, but I will do my best to help you with the DT5s.

You can ask me specifics about the riggers. I'm more familiar with the DT10's and Mag 10 STX. As for the bottom track I think with the DT5 you need to have a Humminbird unit (800 series and above) and the Cannon Link. If you go to the DT10 you can use a transducer that hooks into the downrigger to track bottom. The price of the transducer looks to be about $100 on Cannon's website.

As mentioned before there are many changes coming to WHI this season and we wanted to let you in on a few. Beginning late next week our website will officially be under construction. We are attempting to make things more user friendly and allow for better communication. Everyone will have better access to our social media and will be encouraged to participate in discussions there. We will also begin taking payments for deposits, balances, dinner tickets, and merchandise. We are hoping to cut down on the amount of mail we deal with as well as last minute changes for dinner etc. Not to say we cant make last minute changes but the idea is to have most of the heavy lifting done before the event. Additionally we will be attempting to learn a lot more about our teams. There will be a log in on our website where you can tell us all about team members, accomplishments and even upload a photo of your vessel or captain. If your interested you can sign in for our SMS service as well (beginning in Jan 2014) this will provide tournament updates to anyone that can receive texts on their mobile device. (times, dates, etc) Finally we will be attempting to go LIVE. With technology what it is today we will be placing several cameras on vessels in the tournament fleet. We will attempt (obviously there are limitations) to broadcast from the boat to our website where anyone can watch the action live! Many more announcements coming soon!

2013 Spoons... what worked? what didn't?
Yankee Troller replied to Jammer's topic in Open Lake Discussion
Our Dreamweaver Sea Sick Waddler was a great spoon for us in 2013. Other top producers were: Moonshine Green Shorts Moonshine Carbon 14 Dreamweaver Lemon Ice Dreamweaver Silver Glow Green Hot Tip Stinger Nuke Finger Lakes UV Sea Sick Waddler Had a stretch in early July where Dreamweaver's Raspberry Dolphin was on Fire! -
You'd be surprised at the amount of charter captains up and down the Lake that lurk on the reports section. I was surprised to find out about a few of them. They didn't seem like internet kinda guys.

You will see no noticeable difference between a 12lb Torpedo and a 12lb Shark except for a few less Benjies in your wallet. If you want less blow back you need to go to 15lb weights. If you have Cannon, Scotty, Traxstech, or Big John Brutes they can handle that weight. Don't just go buy a Shark to have one, and realize it did you no better than your Torpedos.

After careful consideration by our WHI committee please take note of the following changes: For 2014 we will be allowing both King and Coho Salmon to be weighed in and count towards your Saturday score. This year there will also be a "rookie" class formed which will consist of any new team with no more than one former WHI veteran wishing to fish the 2014 event. (and yes these teams will compete for a secondary prize structure as well as the primary. Standby for the complete list of rules regarding this in the near future. Finally, being that its almost invite time please shoot us an email with your interest or updated contact info. [email protected]

Braid for downrigger
Yankee Troller replied to Pj Weber's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Use a palamar or wire knot to the swivel holding your cannon ball. If your using anything bigger than 150lb braid your not gaining anything. Fleas suck for 2-3 weeks, and then they aren't an issue. You can flick them off. -
I had a 175SVS. I should have never sold it, but I fell in love with a 520, and went to Tennessee to buy it. Both of those Rangers were great boats!
