    i have invested a lot into my boat and my gear. I am always looking to upgrade my gear and get the latest / newest gadgets. For now my boat is setup the way i want with all my riggers/rod holders/ autopilot/ kicker / etc. This spring i am concentrating most my efforts on safety and reliability. New Bellows, Impellers on both motors, spark plugs, new fuel lines / filters etc. after all there’s no sense of having all the best/most gear if you can’t get out and return safely. most of this goes without saying but too often I see a lot of guys spend more money on gear and up breaking down because they neglect the maintenance

    Blowback is the amount of resistance on the weight causing it to ride up in the water column. Example say you want to target 100' If you use a common round ball weight it may take 130' or more of cable out to achieve that depth whereas a slimline weight like a torpedo will only use 110' of cable to.achieve the same depth. You can determine the.blowback by the angle created from your downrigger boom of your cable when it hits the water. you will never achieve a 90* angle but the closer to that the better Mike 'Bout Time

    here is a good link to webcams that let you see up to date water / ice conditions of the lake. it is mostly "mid lake" ( Rochester to Sodus ) but it gives a good idea of the conditions. i use the sodus lighthouse cam for checking wave conditions and weather when heading out of Fair Haven. http://weather.weatherbug.com/NY/Webster-weather/weather-cams/local-cams.html?zcode=z6286&stat=WBSTR&camera_id=WBSTR

    If you have learned something whether it is new or not from the book than it was worth it. I do not own nor have read the book but anytime you learn something it's a plus in my eyes. Also now if you really think about it copper, wire divers, lead core lines etc are not new anymore but are all worth it Mike 'Bout Time

    It's another tool to add to to your arsenol. Like.any others it has its days. I run mine with two colors of lead. I've gotten away from running it lately because of others have produced just as well ( coppers/cores/divers etc.) But when I did it took fish. It can be a great tool for summer brown fishing when they move to deeper waters. It's also a good rod to use as your bottom rod when stacking riggers because it rides so much lower. You cam aldo use it off your boards when steelhead fishing. Mike 'Bout Time

    i would move your eyebolt toward the top of the board. this will allow the board to sit lower in the water. When the eyebolt is towards the bottom of the board the planer line is actually lifting the board out of the water somewhat. You want as much of the board in the water as possible. I found that moving the eyebolt back 1.5 -2" from the plans made a huge difference.

    It's not just about the depth. It's more of a stealth presentation that is not only back but it is also outside your normal spread Mike 'Bout Time

    It all depends on what part of the lake you fish. IMO - The fish on the east end are generally deeper. We run 300 coppers in the spring and then 450 -700 plus as summer rolls around and the thermo sets up 100' plus down. It's not uncommon for us to run riggers 120-200 down to reach the fish. When this happens the LONG coppers off the boards are DEADLY. Mike 'Bout Time

    Tossing around the idea of adding a set of trees to my setup. Looking for pro/cons etc. I have a 25' trophy with riggers mounted on the corners and 48" tracks on the sides w/ 3 cannon dual axis rod holders on each. I also have multiple rod holders attached to my hardtop supports as well. So it's not a necessity......... Mike 'Bout Time

    As long as your bracket is secured properly there are no problems trailering. I trailer mine from Syracuse to Oswego - 30 miles each way and Syracuse to Fairhaven - 40 miles each way consistently with no ssues. Just check the clamps/bolts to make sure they are tight before you leave Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    one option to tune your bait heads is to use hot water. Take one of heads that has a good roll/bend to it already and use that as a template. I microwave water for about 2 minutes and it does the trick, After awhile you can eye ball them and getting them really close
