I got mine at Screwey Louis in Fairhaven, but that was a few years ago. Mine are the A-Tom-Mik ones, which I think you can get on his website.

16 pound seems plenty heavy enough. We run riggers down to and slightly over 100 feet often. Using 16 on the probe and 13 on the others makes the blowback consistent. Been running 16s on my Cannons HS for years.

16 pound torpedoes on the probe riggers, 13 pound torpedoes on the non-probe.

Went to the Sox game Friday, and decided to shoot up to Gloucester on Saturday morning to see the memorial and buy some seafood. We stopped at a spot with a sign for Lobster for sale, and then noticed it was the "Home of Hard Merchandise". We went out back to see the Falcon and Hard Merchandise boats, and Dave Marciano and his son Joe showed up. We spoke with him briefly, and took a couple pix. He is a nice guy. We didn't bother him for more than a minute or 2. Maybe the show has some scripted parts. I watch it a bit. Not every episode. Better than a lot of other stuff on, that's for sure. The fact is that a likeable 28 year old kid died. That is sad. No reason to get on soap boxes or bash other members, pro member or not. Makes you think about what is really important. Enjoy every day out there...

Bigger issue could be your wire divers if you turn too tight. Never had an issue with the chute rigger. Sometimes we bring the copper in when the chute rigger fires, sometimes we move it off to the side.

You really should use marine grade wire, which is tinned the entire length to prevent corrosion. An electrical contractor wont have that.

Fuse the 12AWG wire at 20 amps.

Sent from my SM-G955U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I guess it depends on the rigger, but typically 10AWG fused at 30 amps.

"Interfere" was supposed to be "interface"...

What brand electronics do you already have? Many can interfere with your plotter/finder.

I think everyone is telling you that it is not slow for anyone else. If you want Chad to help you, you should provide your OS and browser version and revision, as well as any other relevant information.

I use 600s. 1000' of wire fits nicely with no backing required.

Gobies are very different  fish from alewife with very different regs. 
 
What you said was it was illegal to catch or transport alewife, and you posted with a finality that implied that you are  an "authority," and said " Read the regs."   You posted incorrect information, perhaps you should reread the regs yourself.
 
For anyone who is interested in CORRECT information, here is the link to the pages in the guide.
 
http://www.eregulations.com/newyork/fishing/baitfish-regulations/
 
 

Please quote from the regulations where it says that.  It is perfectly legal to use alewife for bait, but only in a listed number of waters.  They can also be transported, but only within defined corridors.  You can harvest your own, but only using listed methods.
 
If there is so much bait out there, why are the fish being so suicidal on metal spoons this year?  Or are there too many salmonids even for a HUGE bait population? 

Read the regs. Can't fish them live, can't transport them.

We are set up for 2 Chinook Divers and 2 Slide Divers. The Chinook Divers are always set the same, and we adjust the Slide Divers if we do 2 per side. Chinook Divers hands down deeper and easier to reel in when released over traditional plastic divers.

So, are you measuring amps or volts? I am confused.

Sent from my SM-G955U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Well, you should have 12 to 14 volts DC.

Sent from my SM-G955U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Switch to DC.

Sent from my SM-G955U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Are you using the AC or DC setting on your meter?

Just saw this. No real pattern. Had bites from 80 to 180. 

Did a quick trip tonight. Lake was flat and fleas were slightly better. Ended 3 for 5 with 2 break-offs. (Ouch). Decent quality fish. This one was 21 or so. Meat still producing.

That's what Panther said to me when I called and got a new bracket from him. tell me how you take your kicker off each time when it's got controls and it's electric start who's going to take it off every time

Yep. Releases need to be above the probe.

Sent from my SM-G955U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Or this. Don't worry about what is there. Run 8awg red and black (or yellow) to the battery. Fuse at the battery at 30 or 40 amp. Wire all your accessories to the new panel, and fuse accordingly.
