    Mount it on the port side. Its only another 2.5 feet of cable probably. Route the cord straight up and then over to the right and have it enter the boat in the same spot that your other cables enter for your current ducers. There will be plenty of cable. Then just route it up to your helm following the same path that you took with your other ducer cables. Also, if you havent already now would be the time to mount a piece of starboard for your ducers. Then if you ever have to make adjustments or add/remove, the holes are all in the piece of starboard.

    Carb swap

    vetting replied to jcritt1's topic in This Old Boat

    Thats why I went with a brand new edlebrock last year on my V8 350 - was sick of messing with the old carb.

    It was crazy last year on Lake Michigan with the warm top water and cold water only 20 feet down. We had multiple kings that seem ready to net and then they would just take off - even had a few pass the boat up last year

    So how often does a fish get tangled up into the kicker?

    They could self plate with a $1500 setup and not farm it out. I tried to contact them to see if they wanted me to setup and completely manage/ship all of their items. They said they dont even want to sell on the internet because they are old school. Just dont understand when you give people the opportunity to make a mint and they flat out refuse.

    If you can do $40 shipped for lot #2 I'll take them.

    Yeah if you run a Water Wolf camera, you would be amazed at how many fish follow a bait and never hit it. The last time I used it was on a downrigger line with a spoon. 5 completely different fish came and checked it out. They swam withing 1 foot of it and just swam with it and then peeled off (one did take a swing and a miss). That was just 2 hours of camera time and only 1 rod.

    I catch alewives behind my boat in the slip and then package and freeze them. I then take 1 or 2 ever time I go out and cut it up. I put a small piece on the hook for flasher/fly setups and then I rub the spoons with the other pieces before sending them out. Not sure if it helps, but it helps to get the human stink off.

    Hook it up to a Raymarine MFD/chartplotter....I only touch the wheel twice every trip. Docking and pulling away from the dock. The best is doing a 180 turn in whatever width you want.

    So what about one for dragging on the bottom aka bottom bouncing. What would you make a lure out of so it is more neutrally buoyant instead of floating?

    Burbot

    vetting replied to EsoxAC3's topic in Ice fishing

    Its the best fish out of Lake Michigan besides coho. Have to be really careful cleaning them. Take only the white meat from the backstraps and do not let anything touch skin when you skin them. Cut into cubes and boil in sugar water or 7up and water. Boiling them gets the rest of the oil out of them. Cook them till the float, season a bit, and then dip in melted butter when you eat them.

    So what do you run? I run all church walleye boards but have had issues last season with some not sitting in line right running 3 to 4 boards on a side
  18. vetting
    How far are you letting the boards out?
  19. vetting
    So they arent planning out to the side like they should? You adjusted the weight on them right? What leadcores did you run? Any difference between different amounts of leadcore? Are you letting them out 30+ yards?
  20. vetting
    Just sent you a PM about all of the spoons.

    2 Okuma 45D reels with original boxes - upgraded drags $135 Both reels have only been used around 20 times. Both are in nice cosmetic condition with only minimal boat rash. Both reels were just rebuilt, cleaned, and upgraded with Drag Master carbon drags by Tuna Reel Troubles in MI. New these reels sell for $80 each plus shipping. These are better than new with being freshly serviced and having the drags upgraded at a cost of $25 per reel. Purchase with confidence - I have an 8000+ positive comment rating on eBay and over 40 transactions here on this forum.

    Yeah I've been on a trip with Lonney Goman from Trophy Ice Fish. He has something like 50+ different shacks and moves them around to find the fish. Has an entire crew of helpers.

    I run Stealth Core and couldnt be happier with the results. Never had any issues with breakage and its nice that its only black and red.
