Looks like a super time!Great bunch of folks and outstanding forum! Can't wait to launch out of Willsboro again, lots of ice yet though I imagine.

Congrats on the early start!

Always have good luck with the standard Gator but I will have to try this new version as well, looks good.

Caught alot of char and sea run browns with the Toby (spinning) while stationed in Iceland! Those were the days!

Hey Lilboat,

Awesome photo! They are some beautiful fish! I'm suffering from cabin fever and very anxious to launch again!

Tight lines!

Thanks for the reply FSNmachine,

I am going to give them a try. Good luck this spring! I'm hoping to hit the water in late March!

Any one using these? Looks like a good system.

I have the Premium in a HB 787 and the Platinum in a HB 958, both work extremely well. I like the idea of getting last years version for much less at Cabelas or Bass Pro.

Hey Don,

Sorry to hear about the troubles you had with this system. Hopefully you will have it all sorted by spring and have a super season!

Billy V,

Just looked up the price on the Digitroll 5's and was happily surprised! Looks like I may as well go with the 5's!

Thanks for the feedback once again Billy V, I think I will close the deal on the MAG 20 DT's soon at a more reasonable price than the latest version. The new models sure are sweet looking though!

Sent you a PM Traveling Man re the HB 958. Best purchase I have made in awhile, awesome capabilities and very easy to use.

Come on Spring!

Anyone using the Mag 20 dt with HB combo? Sounds very handy and I'm thinking about buying a pair to match up with a 958c. Any feedback much appreciated.

I have an Islander 191v I/O that I would like to install a platform on, looking for recommendations. Full width or partial? Products to avoid? Sources? Any feedback much appreciated.

Thanks/Eric

Man, that is one bad run of luck. I hope next year is one of your best! Hang in there.

very sad indeed. I hope things turn around soon.

Persistence! Nice job!

Excellent report! You guys worked hard for those fish.

Tight lines!

Nice going! You guys had it dialed in! I could not get much to fire last weekend. Heading back out this weekend.

Scattered at best for me this weekend. Temp and South wind made it hard for me to get much going. No majors, small kings and browns. Good luck, maybe things will settle down this week.

Sat a.m. I heard a guy repeatedly asking for a radio check and then insult whoever responded. I could not believe what I was hearing. Pretty sad actually. What a shame to tie up a tool we all use and hopefully never really need.

Thanks for the report. It is agonizing waiting for them to move in.

Sounds like a great time! I've had my light line brown rigs destroyed doing the same thing! It sure is a hoot hearing those reels scream!

Good luck/Eric

Beautiful fish! Love those Special Mate boxes too!

Any thoughts on which autopilots work best for this boat with cable steering (no kicker).? Simrad tells me the 12 and 14 will fit, seems pretty tight behind the dash. Any and all input much appreciated. Also interested in having one professionally installed, I'm in the Lake George area but frequent Lake Ontario.

Thanks/Eric

Nice job guys! That would make my season complete!
