Not sure if its common knowledge out by you guys....but this is how we roll in Lake Michigan - Milwaukee. Often in April/May, you will see boats leaving the marina with 12 to 18 rods with the exact same setup. Double 00 Orange metal dodger followed by a peanut fly or trimmed king fly. 16 to 18" inches behind the flasher. Colors of the fly are silver/green/blue. Run 1 through 4 color of lead or keel weights on boards. Run normal flashers on rigger down deeper to draw in or if kings are around. Run 2 dipseys on a 1.5 setting. Run them just to the point where you lose sight of them in the prop wash. Sit back and when you hit a pod of them you will have 4 to 5 on

How to restore oxidized/chalky fiberglass
vetting replied to Cameron Jaeger's topic in This Old Boat
Yeah vehicle wraps have come a long way since everyone wraps cars now. If you do it, go with 3m 1080. If you have a complex structure or dont feel comfortable using knifeless tape, get a pro to do it. There are plenty of car wrap guys that would love to do a long flat surface. I paid a pro $300 plus materials to do mine and took an afternoon. -

How to restore oxidized/chalky fiberglass
vetting replied to Cameron Jaeger's topic in This Old Boat
What year is the boat? What color is the gel coat that you are trying to restore? If its colored gelcoat its a battle every single year. I wet sanded/buff/polished/wax the white parts and then vinyl wrapped my colored stripe that is 3 feet wide. I tried every single year to fix the grey and finally gave up last year - filled and faired it and then the wrap went on. -
You need the higher lb for the fly leader so that the fly whips around rather than just sit there behind a flasher.

Weighted Steel - Special thanks to Russell at Anglers Avenue

Is it a window that fully opens?

I had a 5 and 6 on Sealine SG47LCA last year. I had to thumb the line on multiple occasions to prevent from getting spooled. The 47 capacity is 40/480 for braid I have since switched to the newer 50 SLW and the are 40/830 for braid. For my 7 and 8 I always ran a 50 SLW and never had an issue. For my 10s I run micro leadcore so cant really compare but the 57 is fine.

Best way to check is to grab the end of the outdrive and move it back and forth left/right. There shouldnt be much play in it. If there is more than 3 to 4 inches of travel before it catches, then the gimble is already worn.
-
Also, make sure there is new oil in your outdrive. Often people dont replace it right away when winterizing (they just check to see there isnt water in it) because it usually already cold out and the oil and new oil is like mayonnaise in cold temps.
-
What type of motor and outdrive do you have? One thing that people forget with Mercruisers is to check is to make sure the bolts are tight where the gimble ring grabs onto the steering arm pin. You let that wear out and its new gimble ring time and you have to either cut holes in the side of your transom ring or pull the motor out to replace it.
-
Also, you can put it on either rigger and it will get picked up. I ran mine last year with no issues and also have a Raymarine 50/200 and a Raymarine chirp unit.
