  1. Past hour
  2. Yes sir. I have replaced everything with reveal tactacam pros
  3. You've gone all in on cell cameras, haven't you!! Those Browning are the best "standard" trail cameras I ever ran. The BTC5HD model in particular was something special. I still put two out just because they're so good, and they seem to pick up pictures that the cell cameras miss - maybe the bucks don't avoid them as much for some reason. I actually pulled the trigger on two Browning cell cameras this week and will test during turkey season just to compare to our Tactacam. Good luck with your sales! I hope to see the boat disappear from the marina soon. Tommy's been hard at work on it.
  4. Today
  5. 2 nd week in July to 1st or 2nd week in Aug midlake .Oak , to Sandy . Weather is usually pretty stable then . After that the majority of kings start to migrate east to the Salmon river . If you find them you can have good days . But you also start to get the winds of Aug which can keep you off the lake then .
  6. The way you were presenting the leech on a slip bobber might not have been enticing enough to attract their attention. Experimenting with different techniques, such as adjusting the depth, using different speeds or movements, or trying different bait rigging methods, could potentially yield better results. Run 3
  7. Took the big-er boat out today for it's first trip in 2024 with @Bo Hunter and Brian from the FLTA and had a blast! Thanks @Bo Hunter for lunch after!
  8. Thanks for sharing this info! When is the best time (range) for kings? Thinking of setting up a trip from NE Ohio with some friends. Would appreciate any recommendations anyone is willing to share!
  9. Does anyone run the dipsy hack where you tie about a foot of 40# braid to your line, then 15-20’ of flourocarbon to the 40# braid. Tie a loop in the 40# section. Add a small “S” carabiner clip to the dipsy release and the other end attaches to the loop on the 40#. You let the line with lure out then attach the dipsy to the loop on the 40# then let the rest of the line out to get your dipsy to desired depth. Works well and gives you longer leader. But, you’ll need to release the dipsy from the line when it gets to the boat. Kind of like you would with a planer board. I use this on Erie for walleye and steelhead with good results!
  10. Yesterday
  11. For my Big Jons I use a 110 outside receptacle with the covers on it which is mounted in the rear of my boat wired directly to the battery. Then I put 110 male plugs on the riggers and plug it into the receptacle. Then you only make 1 connection to the battery. Nice and easy to remove the riggers. Just make sure to use red and black wire so you hook your receptacle up right or they will run in reverse.
  12. It sounds like you're having quite the fishing adventure out on Mexico Bay! While the western side of the lake might be buzzing with king action, it's awesome to hear you're still reeling in some browns and Lakers. Fishing can be a bit mysterious sometimes, right? Maybe those kings are just playing hard to get on the eastern side for now!
  13. It's not over thinking! The more connections, the better chance of a bad connection! In a perfect world, your Battery should go to a battery selector switch, Switch common to main engine as well a separate feed to a breaker continuing to a fuse panel, all capable of handling the amperage load. Your kicker directly to the cranking battery, but ideally to it's own. Bilge float directly to battery with an inline fuse. FWIW...I run a breaker and panel feeding my console electronics and another breaker and panel for the stern (riggers, 12v supply, Depth Raider, TrollMaster, Remember, that 6 amp alternator won't put out 6 amps at idle and most likely not at trolling speed.
  14. Not a bad shakedown. Browns... Check out the YouTube link for the report on what took fish today.
  15. Scotty gimbal mount rod holders and big game rod holder set - 2 if each. They are brand new - never used. open to offers
  16. this year is supposed to have the most legal walleye that Lake Erie has ever had. we have had several hatches in the last few years that were above average hatches. and a couple of them were the best hatches that was a lot above the best hatches since they started checking them. the biggest problem you should have is catching so many small fish that's not legal size.
  17. Awesome report and some great looking baits way to go .
  18. thank you for the site and info. those look pretty good but I'm thinking about getting the one that has the surround view. it is priced at 499.00 but I found them for 399.00. As soon as we get our checks on the 1st and 3rd of April I will be ordering one for my 17 year old granddaughter and I to use this fall. That is unless she learns to use my summit climbing stand, and I am still able to get up the tree with mine.
  19. Understood and appreciate the feedback. Recently, I picked up a tiller 9.9 kicker with electric start and a 6amp alternator. Can I just wire this right to my starting battery along with down riggers? Seems like a lot of connections for the terminals on the battery (main motor, kicker, 2 big jons, i think my bilge and a noco charger). Guessing a bus bar or something would be better for the big jons this way i'll only have 4 or 5 connections on my battery post? Or maybe something like these terminal clamp connectors might be a better fit (Battery Terminal connectors)? Solid chance I'm over thinking, but i try not to mess around when it comes to electrical and want to make sure it's right.
