I have 2 new accudepth plus 27LCBL reels for sale. I have installed 12lb Berkley XT on them. They have never been used or on a rod. I decided to go another route. My loss is your gain. I have pics available if you want. They are double paddle models. You can text me at 315-559-5780 if interested. I paid $70 each for them. Asking $110 for the pair of them.
June can be a good mix of all techniques. Worm harnesses may be coming into good technique but I would start with blade baits in early june. The XPS gold or silver are good starting point. Yes jigging is a lot more fun than trolling but trolling some cranks can be really good too. Just keep it around 1.6-1.9mph and you can get some. Very the line out. With limited tackle and boat/electronics I would stick with blade baits. I prefer to slow fish them. Some guys rip them hard. I tend to do short pops then a rip. Best way for blades to work is to use a med/light rod with a braid line and a 2' fluorocarbon leader. You need to have that FEEL.
For Erie this year we were disappointed with all the smalls, 16-18". We couldn't keep them off the line. At times we had 6 on at once. I guess it's the going to Erie thinking you want 4lb fish or bigger for almost everyone like past years. With the occasional 10lb + eye. But catching eyes none the less is fun.
Horrible at trolling stickbaits unless it's in 10' of water. Still learning the tricks to it. What are you using to get them down while deeper? Tried a few times last year with no success.
We had a tough go of it too on Friday. First time out this year. Only fished from 7-11 and managed only 2 ok browns. Few other guys that came in didn't get much either. One boat got skunked while the other boat hit one.
THANK YOU!!! I thought I was the only one that that happened to. I have had that happen a bunch of times. Pisses me off.
Outside of that I have and like them both. For browns I will use either but if I am going out for some kings etc I will use my convectors. I just think they are built better to handle the big stress that a king puts on the reels.

You see the prices they get for a little 5"-6" section of antler in the pet stores? Not cheap. Guess they sell them as chew toys for dogs now. My dog would just carry it around.
I am looking to see all my options on an accessories holder for the berts track. I have see the one from berts and traxstech. I can't seem to find any others. Want to look at them all before I pick one up. I think it will be a nice addition to the rod holders in my set up. Any info, hints or websites would be awesome.
Thanks

Hell with the funding that they always complain about I am shocked they don't cut it back more. Seems like the only thing happening is cuts. I have never fished out there as I live right near Oneida. I think everyone wants their local lake to be stocked. We just know that it's not possible. Not sure how they determine what lakes to cut back on or what ones to stock more. Not sure surveys are that solid.
