    We got an 8HP Tohatsu Electric start around 2011 and it seems to charge the batteries pretty well. A couple times we had very low batteries and just trolled an hour or so till we could start the main motor. No issues with the motor either, much quieter than the old 2 cycle. Pushes our 21' very well too.

    What do you think you hit with the DR?

    Wow! Great hammer. Looks like fun. Wish I could be at the game too, go Fins!

    We used our Elite 7 Chirp all year and no freeze ups.

    How was the boat traffic?

    http://www.raymarine.com/view/?id=11201 Looks like a cool idea.

    Hook into any fish?

    What kind of presentation are you going to try?

    We had our speed wheel develop a hard spot in it, the wheel would not spin freely on the axle. Make sure that isn't the problem. How much cable did you have out? Ours will give strange readings when there is a lot of blowback (over 100' of cable out). Check yours at 25' (to eliminate blowback as a cause) at a couple different speeds to see if this is contributing to your problems.

    Thanks for checking Nick. I thought it was strange that our staging fish had so many recent meals.

    Nice catch

    Nick - what are you seeing in the stomachs of the Kings you have landed recently? The mature male we caught on Friday in 68 degree water had several small baitfish, and one full size Alewife in it.

    Gator: What do you think is the cause of this .5 diff? Maybe it changes the angle of the probe when a rod is attached? I have found with our Moor, once you reach a certain amount of blowback, the readout slows considerably.

    Go get em Nick! Looking forward to seeing some pics of 25 pounders this weekend.

    I run Chamberlain stacker releases above the probe on coated cable. You can install them without cutting. If careful when setting them, they do not damage the coating on the cable.

    Thanks for the report Abe, hope things pick up soon. Let us know how you do Wed. - good luck.

    Check out the modis image from 8/2. http://coastwatch.glerl.noaa.gov/modis/modis.php?region=o&page=1&template=subℑ=t1.15214.1550.LakeOntario.143.250m.jpg

    I was just remembering that I need to get some snap swivels. I had the same thing happen a few years back, sucks losing the fish and the hot lure. Will only use crosslocks with a pound test rating now, like Torpedo's.

    Good job, any size to the Kings? How many FOW? Thanks.

    Welcome to the site. You can look at the gimbal mounts for downrigger mounting if you have rod holders built into the boat? See pic. Keep an eye on the reports of other fishermen here to get an idea where to start.

    Nice fish, love it when it all comes together finally.
  22. Skippers Trophy 01
    We saw much of the same on Friday. Although we didn't have a single fly bug us all morning, thankful for that!
  23. Skippers Trophy 01
    Awesome! Great looking fish, congrats.
  24. Skippers Trophy 01
    Good job finding them. Was there much color to the water in there?
  25. Skippers Trophy 01
    Thanks for the report, you did pretty good. Agreed, hopefully things pick up a little soon.
