As someone who just started really getting into Salmon fishing in the past few years here is what I recommend... You have riggers so that's a HUGE plus, Next get 2 wire dipsey setups and atleast 2 of each size dipsey diver (not counting the mini). A Google search will turn up a depth chart for each size dipsey, print them and carry them with you. 2 Riggers and 2 dipseys is a great starting point that shouldn't cause you too many issues and is fairly budget friendly. Another budget friendly addition is a free slider (Search LOU for info on this), throw one on each of your rigger rods and you got 6 lines in the water. I would also recommend atleast a fish hawk TD to help find the thermocline and figure out the blowback on your riggers. Alot of people hate on the Magdas but I can tell you from experience they 100% will catch salmon. Not the best reels by far but I wouldn't toss them aside as a junk reel. You can always upgrade as you get more into it. Couple spoons, flashers and flies will get you started. Last bit of advice is to pay attention to the weather, read the reports ppl post here and don't be afraid to ask questions... lot of friendly ppl here! Goodluck!

Looking for a pair of LC reels in size 20 or 30, PM me with what you have.

We were just there for 3 days and only eye we got was out of BRB... couple smallies and pickerel out of Chaumont and that was it.

You might catch an X4 for sale once and a while cuz someone upgraded to an X4D... but what do you get rid of your X4D to upgrade too? Lol keep an eye on fishusa you can catch a 10% off sale and save yourself $85... that’s what I’m waiting for!

Killed them in Fish Creek Sat had my limit in 20 mins and was back home in bed before sun was up! Nothing to report size wise but 3 fish in 5 casts from shore was fun. Sunday was a little more challenging, I needed about 10 casts to get my 3 fish...

Yeah I knew that prolly had one with charging built in. I got a bare bones 8hp but that's all I needed really, manual start is fine and I have 2 main starting batteries with a switch. Not to mention 2 trolling motor batteries I could swap if need be. I would have to try really hard to drain all 4 batteries to the point I can't start my boat. I also have an aux solar trickle charger I use when trolling for extended periods of time just to be safe.

I have been buying/selling things on internet forums for atleast the last 10yrs... 97% of the time it's great, nice people, easy transactions... but the other 3% of the time it's what you experienced. I just had an issue here recently where we had a deal made and I was waiting for the guy to send me his paypal info so I could pay him. He never responded back to my calls/texts/emails. Sounds like you got the bad ones out of the way early, hopefully the rest will be painless for you! FWIW I just bought a brand new Tohatsu 8hp 4-stroke with hose/tank for $1750 delivered, I beleive the 9.8 4strokes were like $200 more.

Networking with what? Both HB and Lowrance make Non-GPS units but they are usually smaller screen units. They also don't network between brands so it depends on what you're trying to network with.

Here's the thing I learned... with these mods done the boards work better at pulling heavy stuff (ie 300 copper) BUT they will run worse at pulling lighter stuff (shallow diver). Once you do these mods the boards are pretty much dedicated to running heavier stuff. I have a 3 sets of un-modified boards for browns/walleye and 2 sets of modified ones for running coppers and leadcore.

Will be up in the Henderson Harbor Area May 9-13 can bring this with me...

I just ballparked mine, it’s not that it has to be at exactly 45* at a specific location. The whole idea is to raise the point where the line attaches to the board.

This is pretty much a universal mount for larger electronics, guy i bought it from used it on an HDS 12 and I was going to use it on a Helix 10. I decided to go a different way with mounting mine. https://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-D-111U-C $75 shipped
