i second everything that yankee stated.absoluetly no need for 1000w ducer,actually dont even need 600w for what we do,but  a traditional sonar unit with an airmar 50/200 600w is all that is needed for trolling.i run a transom mount ducer and on high frequency never loose bottom and can clearly see bait running 30 mph.put it on low frequency for trolling and you will see everything you need to see under your boat,with proper tuning and correct ducer angle.i know you are looking to go with a single unit,but like rick said,i put a variable chirp 100-140khz with only 300w ducer unit on my boat last year and i am extremely happy with the detail it shows between fish and bait.so between the traditional 50/200 and the chirp 100-140,i feel like its the best setup for trolling.

shaft length? 2 stroke or 4 stroke?

if you are talking about tackle haven in benton harbor michigan,then yes,i have placed many orders through them and have been in the store after taking a charter out there.great tackle shop and great place to order from.never had a problem,even having them ship me dozens of white diamond trolling rods.

It was good seeing you and the rest of the frostbite crew yesterday.the frostbite shootout lived up to its name with the temperature at27 degrees when we got on the boat and everything covered in heavy frost!!!!

dont think we will need the heaters this year ron!?!?motor ran great so we are heading out in the morning,see you at the bbq saturday!!!!

going to shake down new motor tomorrow and if all goes well,we will be heading thursday morning so hopefully we will see you at the weigh in saturday ron!!!

From what I just heard,make sure you have plenty of cable on your riggers and you have mag divers 

Pm sent

Just bad timing for you,don’t be discouraged,salmon fishing is very slow right now in the Mexico bay area 

Great job guys,looks like the kids had a blast 

Run your mags between 230-300’ out and run your riggers 110-140 and put meat on every rod you have!!!! We haven’t been fishing near the plant but I know guys that have and they say the current is pretty bad,so fishing without a hawk,your down speed might be off,really need to be good at reading your rigger cables and diver rods to get your speed right 

We signed up today 

I also used sei for a gearcase for my 200 hp yammie 2 stoke,900 bucks shipped to my door,2 years on it with no issues 

woodys in port ontario woukld probably be your closest place.

impressive laker,congrats!!!

another route to go is if your kicker has an external gear shift lever on the motor,you can buy a control king throttle control to control your motor speed.these units are great,start your motor,put it in gear and then just turn a dial to control your speed at the helm.super easy to dial in your speed just right.no need to install controll box or cables.probably be around the same price as buying new cables.

Lots of lampreys in Mexico bay also,not quite as bad as few years ago,but not good 

i would call or pm hank at L and M marine in port bay.hank is a great mechanic thats been working on boats for a long time.he is a moderator here on lou,so you can pm him.

mexico bay loaded with them as well,most ive ever seen.

just the last one in front of the garage,the rest of them it seems you have to download to see them?

only the triple tree is left,others are sold.

they are yours kevin,i will bring them with me this weekend and leave them in my camper for you.

100 bucks for the triple track setup,50 bucks each for the ratcheting diver holders,and 25 bucks for the single with the red cap,i have 2 of them,other one is still on the boat.i also have 8 rail mount holders for 7/8'" to 1" rails,they are still on the boat and will be removed this weekend.15 bucks each or 100 bucks for all 8.can meet up in the old forge-pulaski-sodus area or can ship on buyers dime.

why do ice fisherman get to run 7 rods/tip ups each and boat fisherman can only run 3???you get a small group of ice fisherman together on a smaller lake and they can take up the whole lake with 7 tip ups each and pretty much screw anyone else looking to fish that body of water.whether you run 6 0r 12 rods on a boat doesnt effect any other boat fishing.seems to me the law is backwards.

well gill,i want to personally thank you for dragging out the scamdemic for years,inflation hitting all time high,national debt hitting an all time high,gas prices coming close to an all time high,crime hitting an all time high in just about all major cities,and letting in the most illegal alliens ever in us history,you being an independent and leaning right really makes you a patriot!!!!!
