Wanted Looking for gear, tricks and ideas

[sgilbert14]

and here I thought getting the boat was the expensive part of all this

Not really lol biggest thingy is don't buy cheap stuff only to replace a yr or to later better off saving for better stuff that will last that's what I found out . I'd be more than happy to take u out brown trout fishing sometime I go out of Mexico or Oswego most of the time

is this something that is attached to the rigger ball to get that reading? I just bought a Garmin echmap 7sv and am not sure if that can be added or not...

Fishhawk and depth raider are the most common units they are separate unit from your ff

I started with a FishHawk TD. It is a snap shot device, you send it down and bring it back up to get temps. It’ll also give you maximum depth which is good for learning blowback and dipsy depth. I upgraded to a FishHawk 4xd mid season last year, which is a probe attached just above your rigger ball with continuous wireless data to the display. Temp, down speed, and actual running depth. Both devices are very helpful!

building my stock of things to install: New Garmin Echmap 74SV, VHF radio that I picked up on craigslist (new mast to go with it), some red led's strips that I will put in the recesed pold holders for night fishing.. Just need the snow to go away so I can rig it up..

[sgilbert14]

When you take it for a test ride , make sure you can get your speed down to 1.5 mph to 2 , if you can't then you will need a bag
