    A Smart Troll unit would help ensure that your baits are at the depth, speed and temp you are targeting.

    I have that unit on one of my boats - it works fine. The biggest drawbacks in my opinion are 1) Its slow 2) Replacement parts are limited in availability. The motor brushes burned out on my previous unit, and the only option I could find after scouring the web and various forums, was to replace the full actuator assembly for +$500, to fix a $5 problem.

    If you get out early you can launch without much issue, but the marina turns into a real mess by the afternoon. Given the choice, I'd recommend launching out of Mexico or Fair Haven that weekend...

    Sharing for a friend, see link below for details: Six machined aluminum plates for LUND boats & others with (vertical, 90 degree 90*) Sport Tracks. Two are new, 2 had bases installed with 2 3/8" holes, and 2 with 3 1/4" holes. All four with pre-drilled holes can be re-drilled by positioning your base to miss them - this will not compromise the integrity of the plate. The plates are 3/16" machined aluminum - solid, no flex at all. I have pics that show that once installed, you have approx. 1" of clearance between the bottom of the plate and the gunnel (top) of your boat. I used stainless 3/4" nuts/washers to secure my bases. I also stuck on some clear "bumpers" on those I was using, just to be sure that they didn't touch my gunnel when installing or removing. There is approximately a 4.5 X 5,5 inch area of the plate that is suitable for positioning bases. Once clamped into the sport track these babies do not move at all. Brand new from LUND these cost between $65-$75. I will sell them for $40 each, and if you want all six, $225 for them all. Super easy to install - place the plate in the track, position the locking plate and slide it into place ... tighten the screws. Shipping will be a flat $20, or, you can pick them up in Fishers Landing, NY if you are close. Thanks for looking, good fishing!

    I have a Starcraft Titan with a similar dash configuration - I mounted my Helix 8 (same size head unit as Helix 9) on the dash above the cupholder with a 2" Ram Mount (6" arm, I believe). Would recommend.

    Brewer's Sporting Goods is about 10 minutes from Dean's - they should have everything you would need.

    That's correct. "⊲ each line is limited to not more than 5 lures or baits or a combination of both."

    I agree with Tall Tails - I've had better luck with sabikis during the day than under lights. Get the smallest ones you can find (Bass pro shops #3s work well)
