  1. You got the sh#&&y end of the stick on that deal. He took your money. Post his name so everyone else knows enough to stay away!!!!
  2. They were in 120-130 fow over the weekend. Had a blow a Monday so it might have moved them.
  3. Kurt. It turned out to be a good day. Very late but good. Wished I had thought of dropping probe all the way to bottom earlier in day. Temps were all the way on bottom.
  4. They were laying right on the bottom. Had to fish for them like you do for lakers.
  5. Got into them late in the day after waves settled down a bit. 120 fow off the dunes right on the bottom. Plenty of bait. Flasher/fly bite. Green w/ chrome. Fished til dark. Before dark sonar just lit up.
  6. Meat bite worked for us. Temps were poor inside 150 fow. Went 2/9 for the day.
  7. There is a special downrigger wire that can be used. I believe it is called torpedo but I dont know how well it works.
  8. 3 entries for the entire derby with 2 days to go? Odd.
  9. Kurt, happy with the one I have now that I got it the way I wanted it. Not starting over. Unless I decide to go bigger.
  10. 10 months??!!! You have been more than patient. You deserve a full refund or product ordered at the least. No excuse offered by the owner is acceptable at this point. Just BS on his part at this point.
  11. That's a good thing you are doing there, Nick & Theresa !!! This world needs more persons like yourselves.
  12. Good thing is with hydraulic steering on boat you have a lot more options available for you. AP systems are pricey without a doubt. Me personally this is not an item I would purchase used given the number of different components involved. Alot of systems available today will not be tomm. Take your time and find system that works for you and your boat. They are a great tool for trolling. I would never be without one on my boat.
  13. Have you tried doing another dockside calibration of the unit?
  14. Les, I hear you about the wire at the terminal connections becoming weak and subject to fraying. That is a given with any rigger you use. Ive had breakoffs when trolling and lose about half my cable along with the ball. Once I change wire I haven't had a problem since. Terminal ends always need periodic maintenance. If one sees a fray and opts to delay repair then shame on them.
  15. Sweet. Thanks for info.
  16. What makes these different from Big Jon otter boats so you don't have to deal with copyright infringement issues? They do look good. Best of luck with your endeavor.
  17. I had same issues with my mag 10 stx I think they put a low quality cable on them. Replaced with Scotty cable and I haven't had a problem since.
  18. Looks good. Where did you get that matting.
  19. lol You can sand and buff that gel coat if you want.
