    I've run Yozuri Crystal Minnows on the big pond for browns many times because they work so well on my home waters. They caught fish but not like I was hoping and not as good as Rapalas or Smithwicks.. Never ran Bay Rats as I didn't find the need to. Mexico Bay for 20 yrs and ran Charters for about 15. Retired now. Assorted Rapalas , especially split bodies, at a slow troll and Smithwicks when the water started to warm up, the Browns got more aggressive and I increased my trolling speed.

    Yup. I've been biting my tongue trying not to get involved and it's been tough LOL.You keep an eye on things and let us know when the bad stuff starts happening. Thanks. I've heard it all in 2017 and the bad stuff never started happening.

    I went through Sea Tech about 20 yrs ago and was very satisfied with them. The instructor was great. Can't help you with True Course.

    X 2. I sure would want to know. Go visit the dealer since it's new.

    PM Hank, L&M marine in port bay about this.He's a moderator on this site. He will steer you straight and can do the work for you.. He timed my straight inboard to my kicker and I went years without any problem.

    Is that a scotty antenna or just the regular spring antenna?

    Take the diver off the rod as they only blow around when running, wrap the leader around the diver and done.

    I've been running subtroll for a couple decades now. Never had many issues in all that time. Had one probe go in that time. They don't sell them anymore but you can occasionally run across a complete unit for sale on this site. Probes and parts are still available to purchase if you need them.

    I see Brunswick bought Navico in 2021/2022. Like I stated in my post the 2nd simrad I bought was somewhere over 10 or so years ago I believe was an AP21. They were not the same as Lowrance. I also said I'm not sure about now but thanks for the info. I had a Simrad AP12 when Navico bought Simrad and they discontinued that model. Shame because it was a good, accurate, reliable low cost unit that I ran for a good number of years on my 25" Wellcraft with an outboard and kicker.

    Thanks. Do you remember what brand? I tried wd-40 silicone base and it worked but didn't last very long.
  13. spoonfed-1
    No there not. Lowrance bought Simrad, or more accurately the company that bought lowrance (I believe it's Navico) also bought simrad but they're not the same. At least not 10 yrs ago buddy. Now couldn't tell you for sure. Hank, L&M marine could probably chime in though as he's installed both on a lot of boats.

    Check out simrad before you make a decision. Ran simrad on my last 2 boats with hydrolic steering and never had a problem. ( about 20 yrs) Did everything I wanted them to do and dependable.

    All I see on your post is black man. Except one picture of a small box of spoons. Maybe it's on my end?

    These are two I run and this place typically has the best price on Scotty accessory's https://sportco.com/search.php?search_query=scotty releases&section=product .

    I've been using Scotty pinch pads since 1994. No reason to try anything else. Large size for salmon and deep lakers small size for shallow water (40 ft or less) spring Browns with light line. Good luck with your decision and if you need anymore details let me know.

    Then it would be a landspout.

    Call Hank (L&M Marine) from this site. He will take care of you but he's very busy now.

    Gambler is right as far as the natural reproduction of Browns. They'll spawn when the time comes but there is no significant amount of natural reproduction in the lake. Where he's wrong is the Landlocked Atlantic salmon reproduction goes. NY gets federal money here because the LL'S are a native species, just like the Lakers are. The reproduction rate is low but it's free federal money for the state. Tiger Trout stocking in the lake would be entirely on the state. Ain't going to happen and it shouldn't
