I did a drive-by Sunday. Water level at the mud lock was 381.24. This is what the launch area looks like at that time. There seem to be two concrete slabs at the bottom of the ramp under the water yet. For the less nimble a ladder would be helpful to get in and out of the boat at the docks. -
Looking for a place that rents out trolling boats?
stinger replied to scf81's topic in Open Lake Discussion
You & your dad can only run six line so if you have any gear Rent a pontoon boat and run some junk lines. Running dipsey, lead core, copper, seth green) and inline planer boards will cover most of what you'll catch. -
Anybody been using the boat ramp at the park this week? Last I heard the water line was at the end of the concrete boat ramp and was wondering if the trailers were sinking in the mud at the end of ramp.

Try posting your autopilot questions in the "This Old Boat " section. -
Howdy ILP, welcome aboard. Post your Bio in the Finger Lakes section and you should get some good responses. Seems that Yak'ing has gotten popular on the Fingers in the last couple years. Also do a Kayak search and you should get to see some past posts on the subject. -

Wouldn't dragging sticks behind a rigger, LC, copper or dipsey do the same thing and also give you the ability to fish any depth you want rather than be stuck with the depth the plug can achieve on its own?

Another option to look at is Smart Troll

I'll have to give the Raymarine EV-150 a thumbs up. I did a self install in 2019 when I switched from cable steer autopilot to hydraulic. The system works really well. I do about 25 to 30 fishing trips a year and the autopilot is engaged most of the time while trolling and also on long runs over open water without a hitch. If you end up with the EV-150 autopilot you will not be disappointed.

the parts are probably inside. Should be a clicker paw and snap ring. Here is the parts breakdown: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0384/6645/3641/files/47LC.pdf -
Just a heads up. Do Not attach the line release to the tail of the weight as that will pull the tail off to one side in the direction that the rod is loaded on. If that is what you have been doing then that may be the reason your weights are tracking toward the center of the boat. -
Complaint about new style Shimano Tekota 600LC
stinger replied to nickihoyboy's topic in Tackle and Techniques
I had the same problem with Diawa Saltist 40LC. Diawa made a design change last year and moved the line counter to the top of the reel. I bought a couple of the new version reels this winter and that solved the problem for me. I still have the old version reels. They sit in a zip lock bag in the cabin and are now a back up reel.
