I currently have a 2019 Starcraft Fishmaster 196, with 150 HP Yamaha Main Motor and 9.9 Yamaha Kicker Motor mounted on the port side of the main motor. I have Bert's tracks on the boat, currently have 2 Cannon Mag 10s with extendable booms that I use on swivel bases mounted in the tracks. My question is, I would like to add 2 more riggers, however, not sure if there would be any clearance issues adding the extra riggers or would they create space issues? Also, looking for thoughts on what type of additional riggers I should get and installation configuration for all 4 riggers? Any recommendations/thoughts would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Nice Fish, glad their is some around. Headed up there on Thursday, for the Holiday weekend, staying near Clayton. Would definately like to try for some walleye at night, never did that before. Any recommendations on some areas I could try, thinking navigating could be tricky in some spots in the dark. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry, we didnt go out any deeper. There were a decent amount of boats in the deeper water. We’re going out of Sodus tomorrow, then headed home in the evening.
Had 2 good days Thursday and Friday. Thursday boated 6 and dropped 5. All in about 20 feet, lures down 5 to 10 feet. Today we boated 5 and dropped 3, all 30-40 feet down about 20. All spoons both days, mixed veggies and ice frog were best producers. My little guys first time on the lake, he did all the catching.
Hi All
Headed up for my first trip of the year on Wednesday, sounds like the fishing out of Mexico has been pretty decent. Any advice or recent reports would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I want have an autopilot installed on my boat, but I have virtually no knowledge of autopilots, so thought I'd come here for some expert advice. I have a 2019 Starcraft Fishmaster 196 with a 150HP Yamaha and 9.9 Yamaha Hi-Thrust Kicker. The motors are connected with a tie-bar, seastar hydraulic steering for the big motor. Any advice as to what brand/type of autopilot that would work for this setup would be greatly appreciated. Some questions that come to mind:
Would the autopilot be installed on the big motor or the kicker? If on the big motor, would that motor need to be running to steer the Kicker Motor?
Thanks

That’s my dad in the picture, were fishing off my boat. Fish was caught right off Pillar Point, about 20ft of water. Caught on a Stinger, Dirty White Boy spoon, off a side planer. Going about 2.4 mph. Took us about 30 minutes to get it in, almost didn’t fit in net. Running 15lb main line with 8lb fluoro leader.
