IT sounds to me that you are running on outboard if you are priming the bulb. Did it ever even try to start? Could be any number of things just as everyone has indicated already. When was the last time you checked the plugs? No spark no go..and yes, I never hit the lake without first starting the motor in the driveway with the muffs.

I have never been out on Lake O to fish for salmon etc. Rookie here. Anyways, I see allot of posts where basically every fish caught is kept or at least it seems. I also see some posts where salmon are released. How do you know whether or not the fish is going to be able to be released? I have been told that the kings are brought up from such great depths and colder water and with the way they fight to the point of exhaustion how do you know if they are gonna make it if you release them?

So Iwas given a pair of Mag 10A's. I only had the plugs that are attached to the units so I ordered the replacement cables. $140 later I might add.... I got them all changed out tonight and tested them. they work great! Now I have to attach them to the battery. The tag on the new cables say to add a 30A fuse with a manual reset inline with the positive cable. I have seen inline fuses before but never one that had a manual reset? I plan on connecting both riggers to my new marine deep cycle battery. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

i HEAR YEAH! mY iSLANDER CAME WITH THE Tite Lock dipsey holders..not happening. I just purchased and recieved the Berts adjustable holders and the 12" tracks for them..BTW, best place I have found to get them is Northwoods Wholesale Outlet

I might target some browns in Mid August when I launch out of Mexico.. just some spoons and sticks working eh

ok, 1000' of Mason 30lb wire ordered. 1 twili tip...rod and reel ready and waiting

NAH, NO BACKING FOR ME THANKS

so you can do two things.. 1. No backing for wire but tape the knot on the spool so that it doesnt slip. 2. Have some mono backing on the spool first, then run the wire

also, what is a good brand of wire?

Well John, you will be happy to hear that I pourchased all task specific rods already. 2 DR rods, 2DD rods one LC rod and two PB rods..

where exactly did you go in the ADK's?

can u back wire with mono or is braid the standard? also, cant you just spool the entire reel with wire and no backing?

what pound wire line do you use for the dipsey?

There seem to be allot of tournaments on Lake O..Like every weekend

I see the "Gemini" is coming along nice!

I have 30lb big game with either 12 or 18 lb flourocarbon leader

ok so there are some differences. I guess it will be trial and error for me!

ok, so how does everyone set their drag and test their drag to see if it is "about right"..Honestly, I have no idea what kind of tension I should have on the drag....
