Electric Downrigger Suggestions

I bought 10 diawia Great Lakes rods 8 ft med and 7 ft med for inline boards for walleye. I use the 8 ft med for both eyes and spring Kings. There ok rods. I found a pair of 9 ft Great Lakes system diver rods the old ones and love them. The old style 8 ft med action rods were my all time favorite rigger rods. It makes no sense why they just didn’t keep producing those rods. Same thing with ugly stick if they made there old rods people would line up for them.

Best spoon for brownies....
RD9 replied to Pa223's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
One spoon that has been great for me in all conditions is a glow alewife stingray. Was by far our best brown trout spoon out of Wilson. I still prefer rapala over bay rats but both catch fish. -

Appreciate the comments it was a fuel pump.

Hey guys my low pressure pump stopped working but my mechanic seems stumped. When I cycle the ignition switch on the pump won’t pump. My mechanic seems to believe it possibly could be and electrical issue since it occasionally will kick on. Any sort of module we might be missing. It’s like the pump is not getting power.

No doubt on the fact that you learn nothing pounding em. Learning how to change and adjust is the key. Honestly if I was on Erie and went to my spot and seen no fish I would of left and looked for em, but I didn’t have that confidence. I picked a direction and hoped. That’s what makes it a competition and a learning experience. We did well in Salmon Slam just out of shear hard work we fished hard. There was a lot of Erie boats the fished the WHI. One difference I see between Erie and Ontario is boat size. Guys on Erie trailer and Ontario guys don’t. I can tell you that being near shore and conditions mean very little to small boat guys on Erie. A good majority of Erie tournaments only cancel if an advisory is posted. One in particular is open regardless of conditions go at your own risk. It’s not the tournament cost necessarily it’s getting your big boat to that port, cost add up and the wife hates when you get whipped after spending that money.

it would be almost impossible to cheat in this tournament considering there is an observer on board, which is randomly exchanged. I wondered why numbers were low since they get a big crowd on the Canadian side. I personally loved how fast the weigh in and prize give out went. I had my salmon slam check 30 minutes after weigh in finished. I thought it was well run and had a great time. The women running weigh in and registration did a wonderful job. We are team Dances With Fish and know very few if anyone up there, but everyone was extremely friendly and the facility and restaurant were great. On a side note we had a LOC king 21.4 ounces and my father didn’t register for the LOC on Wednesday, love you dad!?. Also my stubbornness gets the best of me and I allow myself to rely on yesterday fish instead of finding a brand new batch. I had a good bite from 140 to 220 out of Wilson for a few days with bigger fish but poof they vanished my opinion is I think they go to bottom and lay there.

Get the yellow clips

Tried shows up way below what surface temp really is. Last year it worked great.

Guys thanks in advance. So I can not get my surface temp and down temp to be correct. I have been on phone with Fish Hawk and they have told me in a sense that I’ll have to deal with it. So so I go through the process of calibration but it only lets me increase the calibration to within 8 degree of surface temp to the negative.when I turn it off it resets it self to about 13 to 14 degree minus the surface temp. any ideas??

Well made it from S Dayton to Wilson with the boat an a little help from friends. After minor issues with boat. Got the Dances with Fish in the water for next 45 days or so. Got on water to fish about 2 ish. Good size chop out of west. It was rough as hell. No color besides way In so we pointed her west in the waves. Two 2 color on out side, flat line sticks on inside. Two riggers and a one color down the shoot with spoons. Two color with a ss in glow frog was good. Two hrs ended up with 4 browns and three lakers. So happy to be in slip with nothing horrible wrong. Looking forward to the next month or so.

Lake Ontario Satellite Images Over The Years

I love my stealth core 27lb 1000yd spool. Been a great product for us on Ontario and Erie. Good sink rate a little over 5 ft per color at 2mph.

I use the new Great Lakes medium light 8fters. Use them for spring kings and eyes on Erie. Pairing them with a quality real with a nice smooth drag is important. I fish pretty light for Kings in spring 20lb mainline to 15lb leader with spoons.

Thank you same transducer it is.
-
I’m going to mount another fish finder on the back of my boat. There was a unit previously on back hooked to a thru haul transducer which the unit up front is hooked to. Do most of you guys run the fish finder off the same transducer?. I’m thinking of mounting an additional transducer on the back of boat and having two units run separately. Opinions please.
