    I'm no daily fisherman. I only fish on the weekends. Just like seeing people catch more fish.

    Set the hook up so the cable has to go through it.I put mine about 3" in front of the downrigger on the boom.

    I ask becasue if cable coils up on the side of the spool it will create loose loops. On the way down they create a quick free fall action. I've heard of balls snapping off due to this. To remedy use your cannonball hook/eyelet to guide the cable onto the center of the spool. I run 20lb weights in rough water with a 13' beam and have never just snapped off a weight for no reason outside of a free fall or a weak spot in the cable/braid. You shouldn't need snubbers.

    Sorry for slacking on reports this season. Life's been hectic this summer! Anyway....over the last few weeks the Offshore bite been humbling at times and very rewarding as well. Saturday morning - They say "it's not how you start, but rather how you finish!" That was today's motto. We didn't get our first bite until around 9:30am. We then turned a quadruple landing 2/4. After that we dialed in a program, and picked away at them. When it was all said and done we cleaned six Salmon and six Steelbow for these first time customers from Allentown, PA. This morning we started at the 28N line and trolled to the 34N line. 32-34N was best for us. We found a break around 32N where the thermocline came up 20'. Baits that took multiple fish were: * Frost Bite down 70' on a downrigger * Team Dreamweaver Two Face Spin Doctor/ A-Tom-Mik Mfg. shredded Big Fin 200' out on a diver * Regular sized Dreamweaver Martel by FishUSA on 300' of A-TOM-MIK copper We fished a leg of the King of the Oak today as well. Our three biggest fish weighed just over 62lbs. It was good for 2nd place! Saturday afternoon - For our afternoon charter we had some local guys that, more or less, grew up together. We decided to run back out to the 31N line where we left them biting on our morning trip. It was a sloppy ride out there due to the East winds, but we were rewarded with action right from the start. Same program from the morning was working still, which made our job easy. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    My question about the cable snapping is - Were you running them perpendicular to your boat?
  6. Yankee Troller
    I've noticed the same things, but I can't explain it.

    HELIX with a Lakemaster North East v2 is a great combo. Huge upgrade from what you have.
  8. Yankee Troller
    Yes, 3 blades

    Where do you fish? Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Yup, $1300 for the cable and $1600 for the Hydraulic. They've gone up a little bit this year.

    Lowrance and Simrad make an outboard pilot for around $1000. We've installed a few at Krenzer Marine. You need a Lowrance or Simrad to run it.
  12. Yankee Troller
    Yes, medium Chirp. Problem with Chirp technology is the cone angle is smaller than traditional sonar.
  13. Yankee Troller
    Go into settings and make sure switchfire is on Max mode and make sure you're trolling on 83khz.
  14. Yankee Troller
    Are you using the stock transducer?
  15. Yankee Troller
    We going bro?

    Price on the Rampage here at Krenzer Marine was dropped to $35k yesterday. It's listed here on LOU as well. If anyone interested come see me at Krenzer Marine.

    I have a 28 Rampage at Krenzer Marine that the owner just stopped by and said he was highly motivated to sell. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Try BW Custom in Sodus. Tell him I sent ya.

    Humminbird HELIX. Stick with the Sonar/GPS model only.
  20. Yankee Troller
    As long as you have 10" of clearance behind your helm we can put an octopus drive on there and you can have AP. We've installed them with Si-Tex and Garmin AP's and they work great. If you're interested shoot me a PM. I am the service manager at Krenzer Marine and handle all Electronic sales.

    They make great transducers, but the ones that come from these MFD manufacturers are just fine.
  22. Yankee Troller
    CHIRP transducers have half the cone angle as traditional ducers. 50khz ducers are 45* cones. CHIRP ducers are at best 30* and most times less than 25*. They are also 3 times the money and all you get is a crisper image. If you're bottom fishing/jigging then it's a great ducer, but for trolling it's not ideal.
  23. Yankee Troller
    You can Network ECHOMAP units together. You CAN'T network an ECHOMAP with a GPSMAP. You also can't install Radar down the road and use an ECHOMAP. Whatever you do DON'T get CHIRP sonar. Stick with a 50/200 or 83/200 transducers. I an drop ship whatever you want. We sell a ton of Garmin and Humminbird at Krenzer Marine. You can't go wrong with either.

    Alewife are the main forage base for Salmon, Trout, and Walleye in Lake Ontario. As far as the St. Lawrence goes I can't comment on that, but I would think it's the same. That being said there are Smelt, Emerald Shiners, Gizzard Shad, Gobies, Bloaters, and a bunch of other species these fish can munch on.

    You can run anything behind them. Spoons, Plugs, Flasher/Flies, and Meat.
