  1. I 'm thinking of getting a copper set up of 600'. my question is can i run this off boards and only let out 200' and not damage the wire or do i need a set up especially for that presentation and what kind of release do you use ?

  2. although i dont target lake trout any more, the method that work well for me, was run two riggers at a speed of 1.5 to1.9,cowbell and peanuts.put 1 rigger 5 ft to 10 ft off the bttom and have another guy work the other rigger close to the bottom occasionally touching to maybe stir the bottom up.i kepy mt leeds very short no more than10 ft from the ball.the lake bottom seems to run steady in depth east to west so troll in a direction that runs steady and not in one where the depth goes deep to shallow or visversa. oh i left first thing out try to mark them usually in water 100 to 150 ft.

  3. where do all these so called biologest get there information that a so called eel barrier would stop ells and not fish.

    there is a small creek in jersey that has a3 to 4 foot dam on it and every year at a certain time for about a week thousands of ells keep jumping into the falls till they make it over just like you see salmon do on tv.

    i never went to college and became book smart but i do appreciate the common sense that i managed to learn.

  4. i have run a1989 sea nymph on the ocean and l. ontario for all those years.it took alot of pounding and i had rivets loosen and leak.what i did was fill the boat with water, mark the leaks.ithen carefully drilled out old rivets and then used the proper tap drill for a small screw to fill hole. i then covered screw with some fiber glass filler.it works when waranty and nothing else will.

  5. jasper,i made my own rigs,bought some clevis's,crimps and beads.went and got some 4"or 6" round alluminum insulalation covering and cut my own 4" and 5"large cow bells and added some tape to themi, i then punched a hole on one end added a clevis and attached like 3 or4 with some beads on both sides of bell to wire or mono leader.i then added a glow peanut to the say 3" leader. troll them slow,1.5to 1.9.troll them near the bottom so as to hit bottom every once in awhile you should have someone working the riggersup and down.

    i would like to use them on round valley but the bottom isn't as level as lake ontario and would be afraid to get hung up.you can also buy the same rigs for $15 to $20 bucks a peice.

  6. Bob,i have a 19' Sea Nymph with the same minkota trolling motor.I use it on the niagra river.

    how i did mine was first remove the rail then remove the front dock tye.i mounted on a angle a2x6 useing the 4 holes used for tye up.i then mounted my trolling motor to the 2x6. i also use a C clamp on opposite end of motor just for stababilty when thrusting motor.i also have a foot peddle up front.

    i use a battery up front with quick disconnect to battery.i put battery on charge every night.

    this is a cheap way to go for i only use it in winter on the riveri hope this helps you out
