Over the years I've recorded a lot of video that I've never done anything with. So, I decided I'm starting a YouTube playlist showing the strikes from Salmon and Trout.

200' isn't long in my book. Anything over 300' I tend to like the slower geared reels because they offer more torque.

You won't go wrong with a Saltist. I can't speak on a Sealine bigger than a 47 size. The Seagates I had wee OK, but I did not like the high speed retrieve for longer coppers.

My advice is do you. Everyone runs their business differently. Do what works for you. Are you going to make money doing this part time? Probably not. Could it grow into something more? Absolute. I wish I took the leap years ago and did it full time, but I was always too chicken and enjoyed my guarantied paycheck and benefits.

150/160qt is fine if you have the room on your boat. Our tourney weigh-in cooler is a 100qt Grizzly. I've had a nice 12 fish box of fish (Salmon and Trout) in that with ice. I'd say that is the size most people could get away with.

Fat Nancy's has a 9' light action rod we use for Spring Brown Trout. I believe it's a Riverside or Steamside brand? They are a lot of fun with the Chinook Divers 1/2 size for Brown Trout. If I wasn't fishing green clients I'd probably use that rod more for my Chinook Divers. Ask for Dave Falato if you call over there. Tell him I sent ya. He'll know what rod I'm talking about.

I know that. I was referring to the P66.

I'd also add that these new units like to default to CHIRP. Go into transducer selection and make sure you select 50 & 200 on the sonar menu. You don't want to CHIRP through a non-CHIRP transducer. Ask me how I know

I install Airmar P66 & B60 on a lot of UHD models and haven't had an issue. You wont find them in transducer selectin menu by their names, and the unit will not recognize the transducer upon set-up. You have to go in and select 50/200khz manually.

Be careful with the Garmin dual beam 77/200 as it will interfere with your Fish Hawk which works on 70khz.

It is compatible. The adapter is needed.
