I wish my area would get one decent snowstorm, then spring can come as quickly as it wants to.

I'm in the process of cleaning-up and re-evaluating the layout on the boat. Given my plans, the Big Jon manual planer reels shown are available. I bought them about 3 years ago when plans to build some type of radar arch/rod holder came into view, however, that plan never came about, so these have pretty much sat year after year. I did try them a few times since purchasing them and they work great. I'm hoping they go to someone who will use them and use them hard!! They have 150' of high-visibility 135lb test line. Ready to install. Asking $100 for the pair.

I have a pair of Daiwa AccuDepth reels available. Both are about 2-3 years old and have had very little use. They were originally purchased to be leadcore reels and did fine, however after about a year of use, I slowly started using the copper more and more. Hence, these sat more than they got used. I didn't use them at all last year. One is the AD57LC and the other is the ADP57LC. Both are still fully spooled with 10-color leadcore. Asking $100 for the pair.

Thanks, that was the name I remember seeing now. Shame the Thompson name died again. Tim, your friend is one lucky individual. The boat was a sweet looking ride from the ad I saw. I think I read that they were 100% fiberglass, as well - no wood anywhere on the boat.

LOL!!!

I remember seeing an ad in a fishing magazine, probably at least a year ago, about Thompson Boats coming back. An existing boat manufacturer purchased everything from Thompson and was going to begin building the line again. The particular ad I saw showed the 24' hardtop on a trailer, 350 MerCruiser, and factory rigged with downriggers and electronics. Does anyone know which manufacturer owns Thompson now and is building the line again? I know Thompson went out of business years ago, so it was nice to see someone bringing the brand back. I did an online search and cannot locate anything. I'm not replacing my Islander, sorry. Just looking for more information.

Welcome to the forums, Jared! Nice to see another PA fisherman on here!

I have made the decision to downsize my downriggers and am offering my (2) Cannon Uni-Troll HP's for sale. Both are approximately 5 years old and have the dual rear-mount rod holders, Cannon Retro-Ease weight retrievers, and swivel bases. Both unit's booms extend from 2' to 5'. One has the standard 200' of cable, while the other has 400' of cable which was installed this summer. Both will come with a standard cannonball weight. They have been extremely reliable over the years and have never failed me. I will be back up in Pulaski towards the end of the month of October to close the house for the winter and can deliver them both there, otherwise buyer is responsible for shipping costs. Asking $350 for everything. Any questions, feel free to PM me. Thanks!

We were out on Sunday and worked the area in Mexico Bay from 20FOW and moved out to deeper water. Marked a ton of fish once we hit around 50FOW, had (2) hits on the riggers and (1) on the dipsey, but none made it to the boat. One of the rigger hits was a screamer at first. We took a ride into the Big Salmon River and it was quite a show. Fish jumping out of the water, people lined the banks, and even saw a few guys in kayaks fishing. It's definitely fall!!

I'll PM you, 180ccf. Thanks!!

Anyone with input? [ Post made via Android ]

I've always liked the lines of the Thompsons and Penn Yans. Can't go wrong with either one. Tight lines to you!!

Lots of great input above and I tend to agree with everyone so far. If I had a hardtop, the VHF would definitely go overhead, but since I don't, I put it to the far right of my dash area, somewhat out of the way, but still within easy reach. My fishfinder and GPS/Chartplotter are somewhat to the left of the helm, as when we're trolling, I tend to sit sideways facing the port side of the boat. My Moor readout display is next to the GPS, so that, as mr 580 mentioned, I can compare the two readings and adjust as needed.

The Navionics card for my GPS/Chartplotter caused my Raychart 425 to throw error messages and after returning the unit to Raymarine for repair, they determined the card is the culprit, as it powers up fine without the card inserted. The card which I had was the 648XL for Lake Ontario. Apparently, that is no longer made or available, and the only versions available are the Platinum and Platinum Plus. Obviously, a step up from the standard card I am used to. I am assuming the newer cards will work in my older Raychart, seeing it is set-up for Navionics cards. What are the major, if any, differences between the Platinum and Platinum Plus cards? I cannot seem to get much information from the Raymarine website. Thanks!

I learned something today. Thanks for the information.

When I saw the picture of the boat, I was thinking it was a 191V and not the 221V. Those side windows are deceiving. Nice looking boat. I'll stand behind their durability and sea-worthiness. Love my 221.

That would be one heck of a drift bag if someone caught that. How'd you lose that?
