heading up mid next week, any guidance?

I bought a 220f not long after they came out. Then ny opened rifle. Dad shot a couple with it though. Ive used lightfields in it. Now I'm using Remington accutips. They shoot alright. Never really played with it to much. Can't get rid of it in case I make it to the Midwest in a shotgun only area. I see they have a smoothbore turkey model now also

Agree, TM pulling on the small boats works great. I found with mine I lock the target speed the increase kicker speed to the TM is running about 50%. Any less and it seems to get lazy with the steering. Kicker throttle made a world of difference on dialing the speed. Also mad a big skeg for the TM to grab more water. As long as the wind isn't bad I can look at my tracks and they are dead straight. Moving in the boat upsets it more than anything else

looking for a new 1000' spool of the bright if anyone has any extras

Looking to try a 4 blade. The mercury prop finder suggests a 10.3x13 for the 4 blade. If anyone has one they want to get rid of let me know. Thanks

Lines in about 6:30 just east of the channel. 100 fow. Dropped a rigger 105 with a NBK and NBK slide. Other rigger had a spin doctor wonder bread and purple fly. Port dipsys out 180, 3 setting with green/glow spin doctor and green meat head. Starboard out 210, 3 setting dark green/gold chrome back with dark green fly. Trolled west keeping our slightly. Tough troll with a 16' boat. Trolling motor kept coming out of the water. Down temp was 44 to 50 depending on speed. Had to keep it about 2 mph. Any faster was hard to do anything. Deep rigger went in about 120. Dad grabbed it and fought a nice king a bit over 20 lbs. Got that one in the box and reset. Kept going west and the same rod went, this time on the slider. I fought that one and Dad cleared the other rigger and port dipsys. Starboard dipsys went off and we had a double going. Did the over/under dance a few times. Ended up killing the kicker and just ran the trolling motor. Got mine to the boat and it made a couple more runs at the net. Dad set his down and tried to net mine but it got off. Same size as the first. 10 more minutes and we got his to the boat and had to hand line that one it. Just under 20 lb. We pulled the gear and where back at the launch before 9, had some other obligations. Marked quite a few fish today. Hope everyone else is having good luck out there.

Will be in Alex bay mid August. Hoping to get into some walleye. Anyone have any tips/tricks/pointers on where to start looking? Thanks

Bay bridge tackle shop does. Picked up some last weekend

I know everything in my boat less the trolling motor run off the one battery. I have the lowrance set up to show voltage. Normally it showing 13+ volts when the kicker is on. And off about 12. That is a 2011 9.9

Lines in about 6:30 100 fow, cold up high. Set riggers at 50 and 40, dipsys out +/- 100. Saw some fish on the surface so 2 deep diving flicker minnows on the big boards. Headed north only saw a few. Came back south to 100 and headed west. Took a eating size king on a slider. Mag nbk. Reset and a flat line went off. Lost that one but looked like a 18" steelhead. Didn't get that line back in and the slider went again. Fish went in front of both riggers. Got it off of one and broke it off the second. That was a better one. Tough when they charge the boat like that and are that shallow. So if anyone finds a mag nbk let me know! Fished till 10 and nothing else hit.

Morning. We where lines in the water about 630. Spoon/flasher fly/meat. Started little over 100 and worked out to 200. Saw some fish and bait scattered. Did take one shaker king I. 180, 225' out on a wire dipsy 3 setting with meat. Had to pickup up about 10 for other obligations. DEC fish survey was in the channel on the way in. Nice day out. Boats where concentrated early then started breaking up. Only saw a couple out deep.

Taking my father in law in the morning, been a few weeks since we have been out there. Any info on a starting point? Thanks

Run leadcore onto one of them in the amount you want then add the braid to fill the spool. Then reverse that onto another reel of the same size. Then you know your full.
