    And how is the Salmon River and the rest of the south shore tribs fishing this fall King Davy? Could it be mismanagement the fishermen are concerned with?

    You mean stocking numbers for Salmon and Steelhead but not Lake Trout? But you know that.
  3. spoonfed-1
    Yup.

    Fishing just west of 9 mile last April we took an Atlantic with a tag in it. We called the # on the tag and found out it was 1 of 96 tagged fish stocked out of Port Dalhousie in November of 2018. Pretty cool tagging program they have going in Canada and that little Atlantic sure was a swimmer traveling 220 kilometers. Fish was released in good shape. Here is the fish and some data the program sent us. Fish was #6

    My riggers run about 10 ft deeper at 100 ft on the counters with 300 ft of cable compared to 200 ft. Again not a big deal. A faster or slower trolling speed will change your depth more than that.

    I always load my riggers with 300 ft of cable. For those rare days I need to fish 200 + ft down I can and if I kink a cable 80 or 100 ft down I'm not screwed. It does effect the accuracy of the counter on my scottys but not a big deal to me as I usually set my riggers to what I am seeing on the graph anyway.

    I just talked to a friend of mine who put on the 2116's years ago. He never had the condensation issue but has replaced the counters in all four after three seasons. When he bought his they had no power switch. The new counters have a power button so you can turn them off when not in use. He said he paid about $50.00 for each counter. I think I'll stick with my old 1116's. Thanks for the info as I never heard about the counter problems until now.

    Hummmm. Not sure I would recommend the 2116's then. Are you covering the riggers when not in use?
  9. spoonfed-1
    How many counters have you replaced and how old are the riggers? The mechanical counters are on the 1116's and they are not even remotely interchangeable with the digital counters. And yes they still make and sell the the 1116's in 2019
  10. spoonfed-1
    Isn't that a special reply. You can still buy the old style. Do you even run Scottys?
  11. spoonfed-1
    You are referring to the new digital readout counters then. I have the old style mechanical counters since 94, No issues.
  12. spoonfed-1
    What counter issues?
  13. spoonfed-1
    80 lb test I believe.

    Not a problem. Just retighten before you hit the road. Both my current boats do this. 26 ft Penn Yan and 16 ft Alumicraft. I don't like to over tighten it on the ramp and over stress the bow eye. You should not have to do this more than once when your on level ground. Get a safety chain.

    Signs are down in Mexico Bay

    Some fish in the Bay last weekend in as close as 130. Took a lot of shots but our landing percentage was terrible on the rough Lake. Sunday was bad Saturday was down right nasty.
  21. spoonfed-1
    I ran two out of a 15 ft Alumacraft for years with out issue and 4 off a 17 ft Starcraft fishmaster so I really don't see what the problem running two from your boat would be. I liked the 2 ft per turn retrieve and the crank handle on the top.
  22. spoonfed-1
    Not bad.
  23. spoonfed-1
    Get ready they are right outside our front door in deep water. Fished 300-500 fow on Saturday with a very nice family. Spoons, flys and meat all took fish. Won't be long and they will be stacked up in the Bay. Around two dozen bites.
  24. spoonfed-1
    Could be out deeper.

    Either your reel is overfull or you are getting loose wire on the spool.
