Custom Deluxe

im headed up to the river in the AM, until the 9 o clock crew makes it too crowded to fish. ill post a report here for anyone thinking about goin up sunday

nice to see that work out. good going

do you guys clip the dive bombs to the leader end of the copper, or right on the copper?

Not alot of size up there but we do pretty good #'s on Raquette with the bass. The last few hrs of day light with top water jitterbugs or broken backs j-5's Either cast into the weeds or Slow trolled around then. It's actually alot of fun chucking those things and watching them get hammered

I've had my elite 7 hdi for about a month. Great rig for the money. It's as good of a finder as a hds u just don't get the connect ability you do with the higher end stuff

Mexico

Burt Goodnough's in Sandy has a bunch of Lowrance transducers some new, some old. Might be worht a call

When you guys are adding dive bombs to LC or copper, are you putting the divebomb at the beginning of the leader on the floro?

definitely run the 83 or 50 mhz instead of the 200 for deep water trolling. i can actually pickup my down rigger balls down to about 120 with my elite 7hdi. Ive only had my unit a month or so, but i have the general use, fastest ping speed, bumped up the scroll speed, and run the noise reduction and surface clarity off. There is a trade off between picking up details and drowning out the noise, you'll have to keep playing with the different settings to try and find the sweet spot for your boat. For instance where your transducer is mounted in relation to your trolling/main motor will effect your settings . u'll have to mess with the surface clarity noise reduction to drown out the motor noise if its too close

They were out offering them at Mexico point 2 weeks ago. Hope this helps

PM sent. i have one

perch, or gold.cranks, also pretty much any hot n tot are my walleye goto's. always seem to do better with walleyes off the boards, especially in under 40fow.because it gets ur spread out from under the boat. . We do alright on Oneida with the michigan stinger scorpion spoons too.

I like these kinda stories. Very cool

I've been trying to figure this out as well, with no luck. The guy at control king told me the servo was too heavy and it wouldnt work. what ive been doing is looking for a mechanical throttle control instead of an electric, but so far have nothing.

3 feet of line equals 1 foot down

I mean there's not that much to a downrigger really, I don't see a reason why it couldn't be effective. It's really just an electric motor and some switches
