As stated the batteries are out of the boat The starter and starting have never been an issue. I wanted to check the condition of the batteries before trouble starts. A fully charged battery at rest should read 12.6 volts or higher I was getting low voltage readings on 1 multimeter and good readings on another. Now have a new multimeter that verified the low reading meter was junk I bought a load test battery tester. It shows good batteries. The stud problem was loose nuts. Tighten them up and it’s all good. Starter draw is an indication of starter condition. Wear on end bearings , worn brushes , starter drive. No two will have the same value.

Here’s something interesting I pulled my batteries in the fall and have them inside. I always put them on charge to get them up to the top. I got a reading on a multimeter that showed both batteries needed replacing. I used a different multimeter and got good resting voltage. So I bought a battery tester ( should have one anyway ) now the good part. I tested both batteries using the studs said replace on both. I retested using the posts and both batteries tested good. Did test twice to verify I use the posts for starting and the studs for electronics Go figure. The $35 dollar tester saved me $200 +

3 bad batteries? Doubtful. Have you checked your charging system? The voltmeter ( digital , not the boat instrument ) should read 13.5-14.5 volts while engine is running The battery at rest ( after losing surface charge ) should be at least 12.6 volts. You may have a dead short somewhere , drawing the battery down. Just a thought, I had a new Lowrance sonar that had a different shutdown procedure from my previous unit. I thought it was off , when in fact it was not. Next time at the launch. Dead batt. I now carry a jump pack in my vehicle at all times Hope you get to the bottom of this matter. Your life could depend on it. Another thought. Do you have a battery switch ? I installed one after my sonar screwup. Turn all electrics off and isolate battery after each trip.

Lmao. Criminals are not allowed by law to OWN weapons , let alone carry concealed There goes that point who stopped cash bail ? Criminals are back on The streets in hours , committing the same crimes ,over and over so much for that one. a red wave would have stopped Brandon’s destruction of this country. It is what it is Kathy hookie will have to be stopped in the courtroom Civil disobedience is just beginning in this country. We need way less federal government Florida has the right idea sovereignty

Salmon Staging Big Salmon and Little Salmon Rivers
chinook35 replied to Just1skipper2's topic in Open Lake Discussion
I believe temperature is much less a factor as the fish begin they’re transition to spawning mode. The factor that will drive them deeper is light 💡 penetration. Salmonids are averse to light. -

Scotty Release Tension
chinook35 replied to Just1skipper2's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
I agree the blacks are great releases the only problem is running them on a probe rigger I want my bait above the probe I use roemers on the probe rigger. The Scottie’s are good releases for sooons and 8 “ flasher/ fly. Trying to run larger flashers and meat behind them is tough. There is also a light and heavy setting on the Scottie’s. Slide the plastic clip that the tether is attached to toward the release for heavy and away for light -
Lake setup - Thermocline - Oswego

Very much the same pattern in Mexico bay had to get out to 250-300 Fow to find any temps below 70 -
Fished solo this morning had to get out to 300 fow to find temps very quiet screen. Few pods here and there. Caught 3 skippy cohos and then nothing for an hour hmmm better check lines. Sure enough a 10 inch Atlantic. Never tripped the release. Swam away to grow up. All hits on spoons nbk was the ticket 🎫

Spiny fleas
chinook35 replied to MrKato's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
There are two different species of flea. The spiny water flea and the fishhook flea. The fish hooks are the hardest to get off your line. They are tenacious. They also smell worse than the spinys Spiny and fishhook waterfleas prefer large, deep, clear lakes, but can also be found in shallower waters. Spiny waterfleas move to deeper, cooler waters during the day and swim towards the water surface at night to feed, while fishhook waterfleas stay near the surface. this is a problem for us fisher people, we fish deep for the salmonids , so we are in spiny flea territory , but our lines cut through the top layers and into fishhook territory. Hate the critters -

Add a foot to ANY wave prediction. If it says 1-3 you can bet on 2-4

Also, keep in mind that just because your sonar is telling you that your bait is at 100 ft depth , it’s NOT Your depth finder is actually a distance finder It’s showing your weight at 100 , that’s 100 ft from the transducer , not 100 ft depth. Because of blowback , you may need to let out a lot more cable to actually reach 100 ft depth.

In the United States, a federal statute (46 U.S. Code sec. 2304) requires the master of any vessel subject to U.S. jurisdiction to “render assistance to any individual found at sea in danger of being lost,” so long as the assistance can be rendered without endangering the rescuing vessel or individuals on board. This law is a part of an international treaty (the International Convention on Salvage, 1989) which extends the obligation to mariners throughout the world. The statute includes criminal penalties that may include jail time for failing to render assistance.
