  1. Are you saying 200ft weighted steel gets you 100ft down?
  2. Same here. Cowbells and gambler rigs usually last resort but my sons friend never fished the lake and I wanted to make sure he got some action so I had one in the water for him.
  3. I had full screens in 110 all morning out of bear creek heading west. 4 knockdowns on riggers 65 over 110 on a green jeans and fat Nancy stingers. Meat did nothing on dipseys 150 out. We managed 3 lakers on gambler rigs for my son's buddy, but other than that lots of misses.
  4. Smiles on kids faces holding big fish...never gets old. Great job.
  5. My sons laker...he was stoked.
  6. On the water first light. Set up in 90 in a westerly troll. Set mag divers at 95 and 105. Both with spoons. 10 color with a perch stinger pattern, 5 color with a mixed veggies stinger and both riggers with gambler rigs. Not 5 min later and landed first of 6 kings on the morning on the dipsey. 30 min later doubled on kings both on dipaeys. Gambler rigs were getting action and doubled on lakers. For the first hour and a half I couldn't keep rods in the water. We ended the morning with 6 kings and 6 lakers, one of which my son entered in the LOC. The kings ranged from 14 to 10 pounds. We stayed in 90 to 100 all morning, off the water at 10 to get to honey do list done. Awesome morning. The pic is the spoon that took 3 kings and a laker...I cant remember the color.
  7. The guardian system on my outboard did the same thing...it was a clogged fuel filter.
  8. I have a 12v Terrova with a single battery and I can go 6 hours using it the same way you described. I also want to run 2 in parallel for run time and assurance I have the propulsion if I need it.
  9. Would it interfere with the humingird transducer? I have an 18ft, so not alot of room to work with.
  10. I just bought a Livescope bundle for ice fishing with the lvs34 probe. I have a pole for trolling and plan on using it in my rail system. I've read alot about using a ps30 probe for salmon trolling due to the 40degree cone angle. Question is...can I just swap the probes so I can use the 40 degree ps30 probe trolling salmon and the keep 20 degree lvs34 for walleye and ice.... or do I need some sort of additional black box. Hoping it's just a plug and play type thing.
  11. Where can we find the patterns? And where did you get the glow vinyl? My wife can only find standard colors.
  12. How deep is the draft?
  13. I saw the same out of bear creek yesterday afternoon. We did catch a 14 pound laker on RV green jeans on a rigger 90 over 200. We didn't expect that at all.
  14. They sunk like a rock in the pool, so I took the weight off the original keel. They are a little saggy in the ass, but float pretty well. Well see how they work Saturday
  15. I read where some guys had keels made from thin sheet steel or aluminum. The ones I had made are stainless and heavy as hell without a weight. I'm wondering if that will make the boats sink and if I should remove the weight from the factory keel. We shall see...tonight I'll take them out and give them a whirl.
  16. Thank you. I hadn't considered replacing the tow line. I had a set made by a buddy out of stainless. They seem awfully heavy without the weight. If I need to ill take the weight of the factory keel.
  17. I read some past posts from years back about ordering a second half weight keel. I'm interested in doing this, or making some. Question is, do the keels need to be parallel. I'm assuming yes, since opposing keel angles would be pointless. On my boats the 2 sets of mounting holes are not parallel. So, when ordering the second keel will the mounting holes be drilled to offset the second keel to keep them parallel?
  18. Yesterday pit if bear creek we landed 4 kings in 150 feet down 80. Raspberry carbon, hulk and green jeans spoons. Fat Nancy protroll with stud fly got us one.
  19. Nice fish!! I saw the same out of bear creek. 140 to 160 were best screens. It was mostly a spoon bite for us.
  20. 150 feet east troll. Steady pick of kings and cohos on hulk RV on 10 color, raspberry carbon RV on 300 copper, fat Nancy with stud fly out 250, and even picked up a nice 10 pounder on a gambler rig parked on the bottom....that was a first for me. Lots of bait at 80 feet. Anything outside 140 to 160 was blank.
  21. Exact same thing happened to me twice in 4 years. Both times they gave me the discount. The fella on the phone said to avoid storing them in direct sun light. The refraction of the sun heats up the internals and fries the thyristor. But yes, it seems a problem this prolific needs to be addressed somehow...like maybe not making the body transparent perhaps?
  22. So just cut and reconnect then? Are the cords longer?
  23. Anyone know where I can find an extention cord for a cannon mag 10? Based on my battery location and in hull tubing I need an extention cord to go between the rigger and battery ends about 4 feet long. I made my own with 10 gage wire and covered with a corrugated tube, but I'd Ike to get something that is a bit more waterproof and looks a little less redneck engineered. Thanks Dave
