If you do run a spoon behind a flasher you have to run it like 5' not the 2 and a 1/2 times the length of the flasher like a fly

The problem is 90% of everyone's counters are off. Depending on how much line is on your spool can very your counter quite a bit. I purchased a fishhawk td and was amazed at how much some of my counters were off

Laws and rules of the roadRight of way power boats yes you are a power boat if you have a motor running trolling. Two boats head on keep right port to port. Crossing the boat to the right has the right of way. Overtaking boat gives way to the slower boat.
Blow boats under sail LOOK OUT.

I will sometimes run both batteries at the same time but I make sure to keep an eye on my gauge so I don't end up with 2 dead batteries. Worst case scenario I can pull start my kicker and charge a battery with that alternator
Start by replacing that battery and strongly consider putting in a battery switch and a 2nd "house" battery (Deep cycle). Start the boat on battery 1 (cranking) and then switch to battery 2 while trolling. This way you will never be left stranded, if you kill the house battery your starting battery will still be good. This would be a safety concern for me, especially if your kicker doesn't have a charging system. If weather kicks up out there and your only battery is dead it could put you in a very dangerous situation.

I bought my stainless steel ones up at Henderson
They do cause extra drag do to resistance pulling out to the side i use with a 10 lb ball and the white plastic winger and if i want them to run at 100 feet i let out extra cable to account for blow back and angle . As to wear to buy go to ebay and search winger they are really much money i love mine .And as far as Wrights goes you can launch and park .GOOD LUCK

The winger separates your lines and causes the downrigger weights to plane away from the boat. This separation is exceptionally good for smaller boats, downriggers mounted close together, boat shy fish, and also eliminates the need for extension on the downrigger arms.I’ve never seen them before. Who makes them?Im still a little confused on how they work. Do you attach them to your downrigger cable?Thanks in advance for any more info. I have fished the lake a long time, and learning never gets old.

Here is two stylesThose are great numbers. Good to see the old and the young generations doing great for the reasons we all know. Har d Knox, what do you mean by wingers , if you don’t mind me asking?Im guessing it’s like a hockey reference to the outside riggers but not sure. Thanks and good going for sure.

I've fished when the current was so bad we could only run dipsys on one side at a time depending on what direction we were trolling
Man, at that boat speed I'm surprised it's happening. Anyhow, all I can say is that underwater currents may have played a game with you, or even a good wind that was pushing the boat sideways, so when you think those dipsey lines are off to the side, they aren't, only resolution is to keep that copper dead center of stern until it's all out, and then hook up your planer board ... I wouldn't prematurely move the copper line to the side while it is still deploying ... you now know why.

I scan a few channels and my radio will automatically go to 16 but when I'm at Henderson 18 seams the best for info but that fleet is owned by a law breaker so I'm sure they don't care what channels they use [emoji857]
I see that. It’s commercial only.

No 18 is what the charter boats in Henderson use that is why I monitor it
I hope you mean 16. It’s the law to monitor 16 for distress calls. I thought 18 was a ship to shore telephone service Costs big bucks to use

I have a 9.9 on my 25' and it's been fine. What ever you decide go with a bracket that is rated for the motor or in my case it's rated for up to a 30hp and is solid as hell

I would say most people do not run a flasher with a spoon
