  6. Rick is exactly correct no rules were changed for the WHI. It is a "no communication" event and because a country has "tightened" it's policies for border crossing it has now become impossible to uphold the no communication rule and cross legally. My team for one is grateful for the invitation to fish the WHI. We are looking forward to competing against Lake Ontario's finest tournament teams in the most prestigious event of the year!

  9. Rich Brian is right I did have a 1K and took it off after one year as the cone angles on the 1k are usually much narrower than the 600w transducers. The 600w is more than enough power. Transducer location and mounting correctly to be in "clean" water while running is the determining factor in how well your unit will mark at running speeds. Thru hull is the only way to go. Capt Pete
  10. Just finished registering for the WHI, Salmon Slam, and 1K A Day!!! Spring can't get here quick enough! 135 days to go!!!
  11. Shinintimes, I have a 1997 Baha 285 Fisherman with twin 350 Mercruiser's. I troll all the time with one engine.Alternating between trips to keep hours even. Never have any issue with boat controll. Now I also have hydraulic steering with oversized rudders and that helps tremdously! I have driven other Baha's and without the bigger rudders and there are occasions where I had to start the other engine for better controll. As for fuel consumption for the season I average less than 3 gallons per hour of operation! Not bad for a 11000 lb rig! So doing the math in a 6 hour trip I am less than 18 gals. Now out of Oswego we typically don't have long runs (< 3miles). It is when your running where you will burn the fuel. From a fishablity standpoint I couldn't be happier. Handles big water very well and trolls great. The only complaint would be when I have 6 customers and a mate it can be a bit "tight". I have customized the interior layout and removed the back to back seats and installed 2 long benchs along with a captains chair. Another consideration when looking at them is the height of the hardtop. Be sure you have enough "head" room. Not all the Baha's have the same height to the hardtop. I raised my hardtop as I couldn't stand under it without leaning my head to the side. Now I have enough clearance that a guy 6' plus can easily walk under the top without bumping his head. My advise would be to stay away from the single screw boats. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me. Primetime Pete
  12. Tom, Remember your never too old to learn! Even an old dog like me likes to learn a new trick once in a while! Pete
  13. Question for those guys using the Clipper style planer board releases. Do any of you use a rubber band half hitched around the mainline and then clip the rubber band in the release? Or does simply twisting the main line and clipping it in work fine? Worried about twisting mainline and pinching it in the release. If you do use a rubber band what size?
  14. Rick, I have used mono for the backing for years and have not had an issue. I have never lost a fish while into the backing. However, I don't often get into the backing. When I have the mono has held up fine. (#30 Big Game) The advantages you gain with the "full" spool are well worth the effort to run the proper amount of backing to fill the reel. Pete
