    Can you use a Y adapter to have both the gt56 and p66 attached to one 93sv and just nit run them both at same time? Thanks
  2. BRsnow
    The new probe is what I have been waiting on, prefer to use 10lb, so this should be fine.

    System includes: display, probe, transom mounted transducer with cable, power cable, display cover, wireless charging pad and USB-C cable

    I agree, if I add the slip ducer can use on other peoples boats as well. The smaller probe is great as well. Really excited with the changes and glad I held off. Really fits small boater needs for sure with flexibility.
  5. BRsnow
    It looks like you can run the new “X2”with a transducer, outside of battery vs wired power any reason to spend more for the new x4?
  6. BRsnow
    That would be great

    The price difference between ipilot and link isn’t much. I am shifting to garmin now that their TM comes in shafts up to 75”. If you need a TM either way, 500-1000 more for charting auto pilot doesn’t seem too bad.
  8. BRsnow
    Depends on the TM, the higher end ones will follow a chart and pair with the sonar/chart plotter,

    I have spent many hours in 16’ and also a 24’ and one is more comfortable on the way in and out, but I don’t think either is safer. Definitely drier some days though. I love fishing out of the smaller boat though.

    Really more about comfort vs safety unless you are rolling in a very large boat.

    If money wasn’t an issue, which of these 3 would you go with? Thanks.

    They were all leaving Huron to Lake Michigan so they cut stocking when the baitfish disappeared. Lake Michigan has increased stocking but also estimates of 50-70% of the kings are natural reproduction. Currently I think the bait fish situation is stable. Time will tell if it holds,

    Even those fish from 2000 are smaller than the mid 90’s . Maybe it is cyclical Lake Michigan is seeing a renaissance of size and numbers.

    Thanks, I am torn. Like the simplicity of the depth raider set up and additional transducers. I use 10lb sharks, hopefully they are heavy enough,
  15. BRsnow
    The browns are running 20lb in WI as well with kings sizes going back up again. WI seems to be doing something right,
  16. BRsnow
    I think he is referring to people who liberally let hundreds of feet of line out behind and to the side of the boat.
  17. BRsnow
    I tend to use lighter line when possible and fish because I enjoy it. Starting to put together some weighted steel sets and wondered if it is fun to catch fish on them. Is a 300 copper or weighted steel fun or is it reeling is “dead” weight. Curious on your thoughts before investing the funds. Thanks.
  18. BRsnow
    People are using much heavier line, perhaps the larger kings are becoming wary of higher LB test.

    We came out every summer for close to a decade and did nit get 40’s each year but always got numerous mid 30’s. That is why we made the trip. It was consistent numbers of large fish.

    The precision from steering from bow vs stern is pretty impactful. You can link your sonar/gps to TM and have a great set up. Likely if it is too rough to use a longer shafted TM might be too rough to use any autopilot on smaller boat. I am totally jazzed garmin came out with long shafted TM and blue tooth connection to sonar/gps for nav and sonar.

    It was fun back then. We would fish off point breeze for a week in July and recall the salmon weighting 28-42lbs one trip. Visiting from Lake Michigan it was a huge trip for us . Seems currently Lake Michigan has the bigger kings,
  22. BRsnow
    Thanks, what weight ball?
  23. BRsnow
    Thanks, that makes sense. I just wasn’t sure since the FH probe I believe Is bigger if that impacted it.
  24. BRsnow
    Seems both have their pros and cons, but ultimately which one has more blow back all else being equal? Thanks
  25. BRsnow
    Thanks
