i want to upgrade my chartplotter to a 1871f furuno unit. Just curious if anyone that fishes the finger lakes uses one of these and if the C map is as good as the Garmin / navonics.

Looking for a couple of these. Must be this style. Mainly motors and gears. Mine are from the early 80s and starting to show a little wear.I have good bases and frames for parts . i bought a new brute and they do not compare to the old ones. Anything out there kickin around? Bad motors I can get rebuilt. worm gears etc..

They are lucky their radio worked with loose battery terminals.We pulled rods at 1;30 . I could not keep the lines straight behind the boat. Caught several fish with enough length but no girth and their stomachs were empty. A 12+ pounder nice fish.I think today I am rainbow fishing and just keep one laker rig down.

Tieing 7 strand mason wire.

In my normal spread I run 4 dipseys. Over time the wire gets cut back from tangles or whatever, I fish the fingerlakes now and I wont be tieing into 30lb salmon. I just want to add enough wire to fill the reels back up. probably 2 to 300 ft or so. I have a great knot for terminating with a spro swivel to a piece of brad leader useing a half hitch and square knot.. What I want to do is splice the wire together with a spro swivel. You cant use a half hitch of wire on each end of a swivel. I seen a video with a guy tieing a figure 8 knot in the wire. Anyone try this? It seems to easy... Ive got sleeves and crimpers I just do not like useing them. I know your not supposed to splice wire but you get cheap in your old age.

Cayuga Bear's 2020 Fall Trout and Bass Derby

I understand what you want to do with a dipsey rod. However it needs to have enough backbone to release the dipsey. The seaweed and fleas can make it a chore. I run 9ft talora MH rods and wire line. I very rarely reel in a fish .I let the crew do it . I tell em I dont want it unless the rod tip hits the water..

We got a few fish .Having trouble getting silvers to the boat. We ran all spoons.. Back to FF and cowbells today to see whats working before the derby. Been trying something different We are starting out in the middle of the lake and doing real large circles.

Fished Cayuga this afternoon. Sea Fleas are back with a vengeance.. A dark brown variety that Ive never seen before. Real hard to clean off. I am wondering if some of those pods we think are bait might be sea fleas..

I think some of it comes from whipping it up in the water to knock the fleas off. Any little kink is to much kink. Ive been running 80lb brad spliced about 10ft up from the diver.I connect it with a 30lb test spro barrel swivel.it seems to help. I also run mason 30lb test. Just lost a rig last weekend on a good fish in the fingerlakes. Started to put some pressure on them then everything went slack. First one in a couple years.
