Sounds like you had a great time...thanks for sharing the pictures!

Seeing what you have checked so far, I would consider vapor lock too.

Great Job....way to go kids!

thanks.

Anyone have them? Thanks.

Same setup and mine works great for me too!

Nice report. Sounds like you had a great day. As for the releases, I use black's downrigger releases. I can adjust the sensitivity of the release for the species and lakes that I am on. For me they work great! Here is a picture.

Good advice...give it a try.

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: Reel MaJiK ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s):Satuday, 5/7 Time on Water: 6am to noon Weather/Temp: 50's and sunny Wind Speed/Direction: Slight Breeze from West Waves: 0-1 Surface Temp: 49-51 F Location: Fairhaven LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 6 Total Boated:5 Species Breakdown:4 browns and 1 Atlantic Hot Lure: spoons Trolling Speed: 1.8 - 2.4 Down Speed: n/a Boat Depth: 5-25 fow Lure Depth: various ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== We saw a a nice fish jumping behind the boat...after its aerial show for us, the rod went squeeling and after netting it realized it was about a 10lb Atlantic. It was released to have off spring. What a gorgeous fish...pic soon after my fishing partner sends it to me. Other than this one, just 4 same ole cookie cutter browns. Tight lines!

I don't know if you can have both hooked to the throttle assembly (carb). So, I took my throttle control off the tiller completely and only have control through the troll master. Ray

What's the warranty on a Honda used by a commercial (charter captain)?

I have an EZ Steer from my mercruiser to yamaha kicker...works great!

Send them to me and if they work, I will send you the money!

Thanks guys!

Does anyone know if the Scotty KOTL will be in Oswego this summer? I know it is later in the summer, however, I am trying to plan ahead!

You have a pm.

I have a 1989 24' Thompson Fisherman. Boat is very similiar and my top end speed is about 30-35, fast enough for me. I get up plane easily with a 5.0L Merc matched with the Alpha One. Definitely get it surveyed. I had mine for about 5 years and last spring, I had a new transom put in. Good luck with your decision/purchase. Ray

I am interested in the fishing net (the one in the bottom of the picture), can you provide dimensions? Thanks, Ray

I have a guest 10A - 2 bank charger...this coming fishing season will be my 3rd season. This unit has been great so far!

Looks good. Thanks for the feedback.

Can anyone with experience with this model give me some pros and cons to this unit. I am considering getting one. I mainly fish Lake Ontario for Salmon. Thank you in advance. Ray

BJ's has a 150 qt cooler for $70 right now.

Mine just arrived, good deal.... http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Shimano-Tekota- ... 4cf491973c

My current setup is on the port side...didn't know it mattered.

For the spring time, I use the big jon quad tree...like it. For summer and fall fishing, I use the berts rod holder stystem and like that too. Many great choices out there. Good luck finding what works for you!
