Top right one sure looks like NBKY to me. Other ones with dots are probably custom by NK or someone. I never really got hung up on the names much. I just cared if they put fish in the boat or not.
I wrap them up neatly in a circle. Then take a piece of wax paper and fold it in half slightly larger than my looped leader. I then seal them with a iron. label out side of the wax paper then store them in a zip lock bag. Saves on space and keeps them from the uv rays.
Never done it but from what I have heard. 20 to 30 fow put a lantern shining in the hole. I read you can use a small piece of nylon (panty hose} when they bite it there teeth get caught in it.
I have seen a flock of about 50 birds in a field several times in the last couple of weeks. Most birds I have seen in a flock in a long time. Numbers seem to be getting better in my area.
I got that Laker yesterday at Canadice in 74fow. on a #7 Blue chrome jigging rap. I mostly fish with A tube jig but have been using Raps the last couple of trips with ok results. I was dead sticking it about 3' off the bottom. I had some Smelt Lottering around under my rap then a big mark peeled off the bottom to my jig I raised it a foot and it was game on. Canadice has been tough for me this year. I have marked fewer fish than in past years. The fish have been glued to the bottom more than past years and are less aggressive. I fished Hemlock 4 days last week 72fow to 85fow. Best day was 4 in 78fow. I marked even less fish their but found them more aggressive. Fish There were still very close to bottom but would chase your offerings up to about 10' which is about where I hooked most of my fish. I mix it up between jigging my bait and dead sticking. I have as good or better luck dead sticking until the fish appear. 10 in the morning till about 1 has been best for me. Lazy fish sinking back to the bottom can be Smelt or small Lakers. I have gotten some small 12" or so Lakers out of both lakes this year.
U.S. Coast Guard Station Marblehead, OH
Yesterday at 1:59 PM ·
Earlier this afternoon, Station was alerted to an ice floe that broke free stranding 7 people West of Catawaba Island. Station launched an airboat and ice rescue crew in conjunction with Catawba Island Volunteer Fire Department and US Coast Guard Air Station Detroit to rescue the stranded individuals. Please exercise extreme caution as the winds out of the South are causing areas of ice to break free. If you are headed onto the ice ensure you are prepared and monitor the weather closely. Remember no ice is safe ice. #IceRescue
I had this problem a few years ago on my 36volt Terrova. The 2 wires + - were shorted out and melted in the tube between the lower unit and the head unit. I replaced both wires with slightly heavier gauge wire. Took a little time but wasn't that difficult. Been fine ever since.
I have a few LCX transducers laying around. I looked into your LCX 18 . It looks like it takes the older grey connection ( mine are all blue connection) it listed Lowrance 106-22 and 106-23 for your unit. Found this one on Ebay for a crazy price or make offer. https://www.ebay.com/itm/154797194101?epid=2255324975&hash=item240aa1bb75:g:tv4AAOSwDZph4zT8
