    The rod is a 9' ML action rod that Fat Nancy's sells made by Riverside (I think). Reel is a Daiwa Saltist 20 loaded with 10lb test McCoy Mean Green and a 10lb McCoy fluorocarbon leader. Fighting a Salmon on that rod is asking a lot, especially with customers. Toss in the smallish trebles found on most stickbaits and landing Salmon is a chore!

    Watch our guest battle with a Spring King Salmon on our light action Brown Trout rod/reel setup. For such a young angler he had great patience and focus, which eventually landed him a beautiful fish.

    We had another great day on Lake Ontario chasing Spring Brown Trout. Today, we had a new group onboard that live near Philadelphia, PA. They were skeptical of fishing this time of year. We assured them they made the right decision after a day on the water! We had a great chew that was consistent all day. We never poked anything really big, but two great classes of fish that will certainly benefit us in the future. Enjoy the pics from today, and stay tuned to our page later this week for the launch of the big boat!

    Yes, and there are a couple guys on the North shore using the XR on a turret system. They can see divers with it

    If you're gonna put one on a turret I'd 100% recommend the "saltwater" version which has greater distance

    It's cool technology, but I think it's overhyped for what we do. Unless you put these transducers on a turret system you will only be monitoring a few downriggers. Lets say a typical spread is 2 riggers, 2 divers, and 2 junk lines. You're spending a lot of money to see what fish are doing in 33% of your spread. When you go to a boat who is running 3 riggers, 4 divers, and 3 junk lines now you're looking at 30% of your spread. My honest opinion is if you have the money to spend it may help you understand fish behavior day to day. Other than that it's a novelty item. However, I have heard what chowder mentioned above where it will show fish in your spread the traditional transducer isn't showing. That being said, if you want to splurge the PS30 is the way to go on the transom. I sell a lot of them, so reach out if you want one.

    How long have you been running Morgan copper for? I was thinking about trying some.

    Most guys run 8-10'6" rods for divers. It's all personal preference. FishUSA makes two great wire divers choices in their Flagship trolling rod line-up. We've run them for a season and they are nice. Click here to see them

    Monofilament would be much cheaper unless you're looking to run a dipsey diver. 900' should be fine.

    I use it every time I'm out. I love my Fish Hawk on my downrigger, but for divers and other junk lines it's great to know where they are fishing. If you don't mind clicking here if you order one it'll let him know where the sales are coming from.

    My Lund Baron barley fits

    When during the season do you plan on targeting them?
  21. Yankee Troller
    They are 36" tracks

  23. Yankee Troller
    It should
  24. Yankee Troller
    There are two tracks on either side of the boat. I will measure them this weekend, but I think they are 36" tracks.

    We run our Cannon downriggers in a track with a 4" pedestal on our Lund. I run them on a 45* angle from the boat and don't extend the booms. Most of the time I'm shallow water fishing with these and running 10 or 12lb Sharks. On occasion I have run 15lb weights. It doesn't flex the gunnels this way. If you have access to put in a backer plate it's always a good idea.
