  1. I tell ya, you and the others you have had on are the elite when it comes to the LO fishery. Nice video Dan. I’m not sure everyone realizes how much time you take to create the front row seat for us to enjoy the action. We appreciate it so much. Joe good luck with the chargers. Looks like you had some great upbringing.
  2. Thanks Greg for the quick turnaround. Class A product on your leaders and holders!
  3. Thanks FF, I can’t believe I didn’t look there. Appreciate it.
  4. Thanks Thork, but I have steel cable. Looking to put braid on.
  5. Question for you guys running braid on the Cannons, specifically the Optimums. I see tons of suggestions to go with the stainless spool due to the stress of the braid as it dries possibly causing the spool to crack / warp. Is this a thing of the past and is not an issue any more or do I need to worry about it. Reason I ask is apparently you cant get the SS replacement spools from anyone as Cannon doesn't supply them anymore from what Ive found. Thinking of going right on top of the steel cable with the braid but wanted to get some opinions from someone who is familiar with it. Thanks in advance.
  6. I’d take 2 packs of 5, 15lb flouro 8ft,ball bearing each end, could you make the one end fixed slider?
  7. Put them in a box sell for 40.00. Lol
  8. Your on the right line. Most lakers in Seneca are deeper this time of year. I say most but doesn’t mean you can’t get them shallow. By the time May June hits they’ll move in with the bait. Some are still out deep. Generally you can hit them jigging 130-100 and off the ledges off the drops 40-100ft. All in all when your in that 200ft jigging you have to be on your game to see the hit. And not be windy as I’m sure you know. Good luck. Throw some back if you do get em. Tight lines!
  9. Boy he knows his stuff Bill. Congrats!
  10. Upgraded my Cannons to the Optimums. Can’t wait to put them into action.
  11. Very nice! Congrats on your PB. Will look great on the wall.
  12. Congrats Brian! Good to see you there as well along with others that I have not seen since college. Great bunch of people. The largest bird was a whopper, triple bearded, some real trophy’s shot by these youngsters, also they donated a lifetime license to a youngster. Although my son passed on taking a long shot, he had a blast. Hats off to the guides that took the weekend of their time to do this for the kids.
  13. Came back from the Yates county Youth program for this weekend. What an amazing opportunity for kids that are starting out. The volunteers that orchestrated this event along with its sponsors and guides can’t be thanked enough. My son is pumped.
  14. I think it’s a good question and yes everyone has different opinions. I ended up isolating mine from the boats starting battery (12v) but found out that the ground from the 24v trolling motor system made its way back to the 12v system when I connected the depth finder (wired to the boats 12v) to the trolling motors (24v) transducer via a connector cable. Remember your 12v is grounded through your hull with the outboard. Nothing I could do other than run the depth finder to one of the (2) 12v trolling motors batteries. I decided not to. I stayed with the setup as is with keeping it on the boats 12v system. I wasn’t seeing any interference and after talking to a tech at minn kota he confirmed it as well I would be good. Just a little frustrating at first realizing the grounds were connected. They do suggest to run the trolling motor batteries isolated from your starting battery as the draw is inconsistent on the batteries and not good for them. For example, if your trolling motor is 24v, and you tie another 12v to make 24v for the trolling motor, but leave one of them tied to your main starting battery, you may find that you can’t start your main motor after a few hrs of fishing or have problems down the road with inconsistent draw / charging on them. Just one of many opinions out there. Congrats on the retirement.
  15. Look like this?
  16. I’d go min 15hp if boating on fingerlakes, min 20-25 if on the big pond. Trolling is one thing, being able to get her in if needed is another. If you have twins and already have a back up then 15 would work.
  17. No problem. Sent you a pm with contact info.
  18. Updated ( set of 2 ) still up for sale.
  19. One set ( still available) black stainless booms, 650.00.
  20. Reduced price, Optimums are on the way. Would like to make room.
  21. As someone mentioned, each downrigger has a blacks release on them.
  22. Here are more pics gang.
  23. I’d suggest a Noco as they seem very user friendly, good price point, and can do acid, gel and lithium if you have the need. Others on the market are slowly integrating with the lithium ability as well so there are others out there.
