  1. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01M25ZGPC/ref=dp_olp_0?ie=UTF8&condition=all I've been very happy with a 9" Garmin chirp/cv/sv........ and under your budget. Pretty sure if you snoop around a little you'll find it for less than the Amazon pricing. https://www.westmarine.com/fishfinder-gps-combos/garmin
  2. Thanks for posting. Serious ice on Erie in 14 and 15...............
  3. Rainbow Bridge Bridgekeeper: What is your name? Jerry: It is Jerry, King of the southern shore and colored meat. Rainbow Bridge Bridgekeeper: What is your quest? Jerry: I seek the Challenge Cup Rainbow Bridge Bridgekeeper: What is the water speed velocity of an unladen lake trout? Jerry: Seneca strain or Superior Marquette strain? Rainbow Bridge Bridgekeeper: ahhhhhh I don't know that....... AHHHHHHHH (flies into Niagara River) We caught a metal jaw tagged (Michigan) walleye off Erie Pa, that had been tagged as a 3 YO fish and released in Lake St.Clair 3 years earlier. This was back in the late 80's...........
  4. Awsome boat....... Dancefloor back there.......
  5. How do you like the microlead? Any problems with it? quick search found some color bleeding (not really an issue) and some "broken lead" ........ may be that was the early generation stuff.
  6. Christmas is gonna feel like a bargain!
  7. I can see sinkers and bait rigs down 65 feet when anchored for perch.
  8. I installed a 93SV last year, but do not remember the transducer model number. It was an upgrade over the bundled ducer.............. I also fish Erie and Ontario, and am very happy with the unit. Touchscreen is the best.........
  9. Can you fit 10 colors on a 30s reel?
  10. x2 on replacing the 60" with the 72".
  11. Sorry Jimski, but I worship the buggers........... and spend as much time as time permits in the house of worship.
  12. Walleyes off Monroe County.................. in the spring.
  13. Very cool.......
  14. The picture is Jerry's guest house...... don't insult him.
  15. My Trophy had gimbals on it, and over time the pins in the bottom of the rodholder took a set towards the back of the boat...... but not to the point that it became a problem. Something just to keep an eye on.
  16. Fishing out of Wilson gives you some options, and it's my favorite port in the spring. Programs are not the same as summertime. The Niagara flow and lake conditions (wind) will dictate where the fish are. Talk with other fishermen to learn what's working for them. The only thing that can ruin a trip in the spring is wind/waves.........
  17. You will not be disappointed. In May, it can be unreal at times.
  18. Good news....... Keep us posted.
  19. Thank you...........
  20. Interesting to see the variety of approaches here...... On Erie, I fish harnesses off the riggers all the time and every time I'm trolling. They are equally as productive as divers and lead core for me. Speed depends on time of year and what they want. but in general some place between 1.25 and 2. Usually at 150 back, but at times as "close" as 50 back. 15 back???? I've never tried, but I will next year.......
  21. Good luck and have fun Bill ...... Outfitting a rig is one of the things I enjoy most. Safe travels.........
  22. go to the Hull Truth Electronics Forum, and look for Garmin posts...... Semperfifishing (Gil) is pretty much the go to guy for Garmin info and sales..... he's been there for a long time and represents the Garmin products very well...... I purchased an echomap plus 93SV through Gil last winter, but I don't remember what transducer he recommended. You can call him, or email him or PM him and he'll point you in the right direction with good pricing..... as an aside I've been very happy with the unit and xducer..... if you have any questions, shoot me a PM.
  23. Looks like a blast Bill ...... Enjoy the kids..... The colors in the pics are unreal, and I'll bet they're not even close to actual.
  24. https://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/7240.html http://www.glfc.org/traps.php Lots of stuff out there...... 2 years ago in the spring, I ran into a team of young researchers on the Catt working lamprey traps.......
