Awesome news!

Back in the late 2000’s maybe 2010? I became witness to a drop in the bottom bathymetric around the Belhurst hole so significant I thought my graph went bad. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out where the bottom went (supposed to be about 120ft ). Actual depth was now 200ft.  Crazy to see it.  Reached out to the biologist at the time that ran the Hobart boat to see if they had seen similiar readings.  Didn’t really get any sense of interest. Seems these guys in the article are quite into it.  

Nice going Bill!

Steve, sent you a pm.

You are right, my bad!.

All good bud, just didn’t want miss next weekend. 

Harvey, FYI  that tourney is next Sat Aug 3rd 

Thanks Rich for taking the time to do these.  

Thanks for taking the time to do these video reports. So helpful to the group. 

Duke good meeting you today! Whaler, as always, good talking with you today bud, thanks for the info. Biggest for us today was 22lbs. I will tell you it’s my first time over here this year on the dark side.  What a change from where we’ve been that past couple of weeks. 

Yep, when lithiums go they go from 13v to zero just like that.  Also when measuring the voltage, you can’t use the voltmeter on the dash, you have to use a %meter that tells you how much is left.  In case you don’t have one.  

For the crazy currents I’ve seen while using a 4xd, I’d suggest saving your money as well. Angles of cable based on ball weight are good to look at it as suggested, some use a thumper rod to know how fast when in 100ft or so. You can also put a flasher (blades) down to get an idea how hard there spinning. Once you get a sense of surface speed or start catching fish hone in on that speed. Dipsey as someone said with the bend of the rod is a good as well

Forgot to mention plug.  If wires are going to a plug and your plugging it in I’ve heard those plugs crap out on some. 

Did it just start doing it after the new batteries?  I’d check connections, confirm voltage to motor, breaker might need replacing (confirm amperage rating) not sure why wires are going to a buss bar vs neg straight to motor, positive to breaker then to motor. Confirm correct awg wire for amp draw. 40-50amps could be 8 to 6awg depending on length.  I’d figure it out though before something worse happens than the breaker tripping. Others on here might have additional help. Good luck.  Let us know what you find 

Thanks guys, this year however we struggled to get anything larger than 7lbs in the box. We’ve all been there, when you least expect it right.  50% being in the right place at the right time, 30% determination, 20% luck! Can’t say enough for my net man (son)with a perfect net job. With a little high fiving and yahooing my apologies to the boat still fishing next to us watching the show. 

Good luck Les! Anyone out there that was lucky enough to get #1 ticket entry should earn the grand prize!!!🏆 

Just to add, fish seem to be everywhere both deep and shallow and in all over the water column.  Seems to be warming up quickly as I saw 52 on top last week where Sunday I saw 57.  

I have Traxstech 6inch plate to accept an adapter plate that has a Ram ball mount bolted to it. I have  Garmin 93sv that I use for trolling in the back networked to my dash Garmin or I can move it up to the bow for my minn Kota. 

Nice going John! Great report!

I’m in for 28 (Gambler)

Very Nice Bill!

Thanks for the tip Chinook, mine came in today!

Now just look at that….,,,  priceless….

I’m in heaven!

Holy freaken moly….  Ok here’s my 100.00 bid Brian. 

Nice job! Great report!
