  1. I do only run 1 per side but man, if it doesn't release its difficult to tell if you are putting to much pressure on the fish/leader. And when it does release they track right behind the boat vs plane on top of my dipsys.
  2. Yes I am. I dont have the large O-ring I mounted it as Offshore recommended. Thanks
  3. I have been trying to get the SST Pro Mag Offshore boards to release smoothly while trolling 350 copper. I even bought the proper release for the braid but they continue to hang up 70% of the time. I have watched several Youtube videos but after several weeks I still cant get them to release consistently. Any tips?
  4. As some know LO has been producing great numbers for the last 2 months. Last friday and Saturday were on fire but Sunday in the weather and Monday and tuesday things seemed to cool down considerably. I am heading back from home here in Maine tomorrow for 10 days. Hopefully things pick back up.
  5. I first fish Lake O in 1996. Back then in the spring the streams were full of smelt. I am guessing the lack of higher quality smelt may be some of the reason for smaller kings.
  6. The boat is running charters every week. Stop buy and check it out. Owner may consider a 22-24' Aluminum boat in trade even if he would need to pay extra. He would like to trailer a smaller boat to the salt off and on.
  7. Bill Saffis catches as many as anyone and more then most and none of his boats have them.
  8. Accuracy is always important. So far I think that I wasted my money on this thing. I cant say it has put one extra fish in my boat mainly because its not accurate or consistent. The temp does seem to be accurate but for speed....... junk.
  9. There is a huge difference in the speed over ground vs what the FH transducer reads. I am talking about in a small lake in Maine with no current. Should I calibrate the FH transducer speed to match speed over ground from my GPS? Then set my probe down 4’ and set that to match the transducer and the GPS.
  10. Do any of you troll using the black 12 oz torpedo weights off of boards to fish 60-70' down?
  11. I would only add that you can use a small rod with 6-8lb test and clip that rod to the FH TD for retrieval. So clip the FH TD on the dipsy rod line then clip the small rod on to the FH and send it to the dipsy and reel it back in.
  12. His name is Timmy (315)879-1907
  13. I know a great mechanic in Fairhaven if thats close to you.
  14. If you can afford it you would be better off fixing all of those things. Not many want to buy a boat thats not running or has issues.
  15. The boat also has autopilot.
  16. Price drop $30,000
  17. In the water turn key ready to go.
  18. No trailer. The boat is to wide to trailer down the road without a permit.
  19. No trailer
  20. 1988 no survey
  21. River herring aka alewives, have a completely different flavor then sea herring. Sea herring are full of fat and are far better eating.
  22. They are running thick here right now in the East Machias, Dennysville River, as well as a dozen others. Some areas are black with alewives.
