    I broke my hand the one year, and got a crossbow. You'll be able to salvage your season with a lot less hassle.

    Bringing the boat home back to Albany this weekend from Olcott, and thinking about making a pit stop on Oneida for some walleye. Looking for any suggestions where to start. Should I troll? Drift and jig? If I troll, what speed do they like? What depth are they hanging around in this time of year? If drifting and jigging, use typical colors? Depth? I have no experience on this lake, any advice will be greatly appreciated. Just want to keep the kids busy, lol 😁 Thanks

    Absolutely use them. Great tool to have. I have been using them for years on my outside riggers with extendable booms. They definitely give you a wider spread. I run 4 riggers with 16lbs weights, the 2 outside ones with the wingers, and dipseys on the outside of them. Never had a problem. My only concern would be if you used 10 or 12 pound weights, they might get tangled in your dipsey, because they'll spread out farther.

    I think this is the place I got mine years ago. It was somewhere in Minnesota. From the picture, it looks the same

    I just came across this. This might help you out until you can get your Fish Hawk. Seems like it would work? I would replace the line with something longer and stronger, and the same size weight as your cannonball. 🤷‍♂️

    On my old 225 Mercury, I got the beeps once because my oil tank was low, even though the tank on the motor was full and put it in limp mode. Maybe one is full and not the other. Or you have a plugged up line.

    Got out this afternoon after the thunderstorms. Went 4 for 4, between 375-450. North/Northwest and South/Southeast troll. Water was in the low 40's 70-100' down. Hit the fish on a 10 color, and riggers 65' down, all spoons. Uv green jeans, uv hulk, uv wonder bread

    I started off with the X2 model which has a transducer that connects to your downrigger cable and it uses the same prob as the X4. You don't have to worry about mounting a transducer to your boat, and you can save yourself a couple hundred dollars. You will be amazed how different your speed can be at your cannonball compared at the surface on some days. Same goes for the temperature. With the Fish Hawk you will be able to consistently be in the most favorable temperature, and keeping your gear moving at a favorable speed. Yes there will be days the fish will be out of temp, and like a different speed, and you will know that and be able to keep your gear in that zone, catching more fish.

    From what you listed, you're off to a great start. I highly recommend getting a Fish Hawk so you know what your temperature and speed are at your cannonball. I consider my Fish Hawk the most important tool on my boat. With it you will be more consistent with your spread.

    If I remember correctly, it's called green monkey puke
