We collaborated with FishUSA a few weeks ago, and here is a video from that outting.

One thing is constant, unless they are lying to us, the US and Canada stock the same amount of fish each year. The variable is the wild reproduction. I'm not very smart, but I'd guess there was a banner wild reproduction class. -
We run a 20lb weight all the time on our Optimums. I've never been told by product development, or the service department at Cannon to not use a 20lb weight.

The Morgan's Tackle copper is now live on FishUSA's website: Morgan's Tackle Copper Morgan's Tackle Super Copper We've been running the super copper this season. It seems to be more user friendly, and we've been happy with it.

I've been talking with product development about this. IF it will ever happen IDK. Not much you can do about it that I know about.

Cannon Optimum Downriggers - NEW Software Update Available
Yankee Troller replied to Yankee Troller's topic in This Old Boat
There was a fix for this in the last software update. Update any other ones through the Cannon App. It's covered under warranty. It needs a board replacement. -
Yup, they're hooked direct to a battery and use cellular/GPS to send the data. -
So most likely you have a 200khz high wide chirp then. Not a very wide cone angle. -
You don't want Livescope. Buy a Garmin ECHOMAP and pair it with a Garmin PS30 transducer. I have this stuff at Krenzer Marine if you want to chat.
-
You want to run 50 or 83khz when fishing. Not sure the transducer your HDS came with, but stock transducers on Humminbird and Lowrance generally aren't the best for open water trolling.

Just hope one doesn't ruin something on your boat

Ugh, that's horrible and my worse nightmare. BTW....For anyone who leaves their boat in the water and wants peace of mind there are systems out there to monitor your boat and bilge from your phone. I installed the Siren Marine system on my boat, and went a little overboard with the sensors, but I have peace of mind when my boat is in Wilson, and I'm working in Sodus Point. There are cheaper systems like Sensar Marine which geofence your boat and monitor water levels in your bilge. It notifies you if it goes above a specified level or your boat moves. If anyone's interested let me know. They are pretty simple systems. My buddy Jeremy bought a Sensar system off me this Spring. Install is easy too! Here's a pic of my Siren App.

Looking for a good quality lead core
Yankee Troller replied to spoonfed-1's topic in Tackle and Techniques
Well that's unfortunate. We've been running the 27lb Stealthcore for a long time and I've never had it break. I don't know anyone running the 18lb though. -
On my Offshore OR12 in-lines I just double wrap the braid on the release. Works just fine.

Need some laker help
Yankee Troller replied to V17's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
A good bet is to cruise out slowly and watch your fish finder. Once you see bait pinned to the bottom you've found the thermocline. Start there, and work deeper targeting the lake bottom. -
I went looking for new hooks this season. I bought some Owners and some Trokar trebles for my meat rigs. The Trokar that I have linked has been really good to me. The #2 is what we used all Spring on meat rigs, but the #1's will be taking over as these fish start to get bigger. As HB2 said above the lighter wire penetrates much nicer, but you can't run these hooks with a super tight drag. Let the fish run and we've taken multiple fish on a hook with a fantastic landing percentage. They call them a 3x, but I'd fell better calling them more of a 2x. Again, plenty strong if you play the drag right. -
That's what I was told as well.

FishUSA has the Morgan's Tackle copper in receiving, and it should be live next week. I hope this link works once it goes live ---> Morgan's Tackle 45lb test is the way to go and that is what most guys are running.
