  1. Not sure about the fish being in close but they are out in deeper water. I fished yesterday from 6:30 until 11:30 from the river to just south of the dunes in 125-150fow and was 4 for 6. 1 Coho and the rest Kings to 27lbs. 2 came on dipsys with ff out 300 on a 3 setting. 2 came on dipsys with ff out 335 on a 3 setting. 1 came on the 118ft rigger with an Ace Hi plug and the other came on a ff on the 115ft rigger. Temp was 46 degrees down 145 when I started but the south east wind was bringing it up fast. When I left the 46 degree water was down 115ft. All the fish were still silver and all of them were still feeding and had bait in their stomachs. There weren't a lot of marks on the screen but we still moved rods. I trolled all the way into to 90 fow before pulling them. Total Chaos
  2. I've been using malin for 20yrs never an issue and I run the 20lb wire. Total Chaos
  3. Here's what I took from the Rule site. I guess there isn't a float. Learn something new every day. Total Chaos Rule Pumps 12 Volt DC Automatic Bilge Pumps 500 GPH - 2000 GPH feature computerized operation on the principle of impeller resistance. Float switches are not required. The pump will turn on every 2-1/2 minutes to sense for water. If water is present, the pump will sense resistance and continue to run until all the water is removed. Thereafter, it will check for water every 2-1/2 minutes.Power use in the checking mode is minimal.
  4. My float switch just snaps in the base so I unsnap it and either lift the float or turn it upside down. Total Chaos
  5. It would seem to me that the 3rd wire would have to go direct to the battery. My Baha has the same setup. When my main kill switch is off the manual switch doesn't work but if the boat is full of water the auto will come on and pump it out. That said it has to be getting 12v from somewhere and that should be that 3rd wire you have. Total Chaos
  6. Anyone here ever deal with Fowlers Marina in Wolcott. Specifically with regards to Suzuki outboards. I have an issue and they are the only dealer in the area. Total Chaos
  7. I use cv 20's with 20lb Silver Thread and I've never even been close to being spooled. 30's will be more than enough. Total Chaos
  8. I know the feeling. Great job, looks like you have a new fishing partner. If she's anything like my daughter you won't be reeling many fish in when she's on the boat. Total chaos
  9. Nice job! Great to get the kids a fish even when conditions aren't the best. Total Chaos
  10. Try this, I'm sure it would work. http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-barbed-tube-fittings/=ss9kzb Total Chaos
  11. I used to put my Crestliner Sabre 22ft Hardtop I/O in there all the time. Never had a problem. Better have a good heavy tow vehicle though. I've seen 2 wheel drive vehicles have problems pulling out of there. That said, the only advantage to using that ramp is if you're going to fish in front of the Salmon River or Sandy Pond. If you're going to fish in front of the plant it makes more sense to launch at Mexico. Especially if the lake is snotty. Total Chaos
  12. Thanks guys, hope to make a lot more memories like this. She loves fishing. 7yrs old and she's already doing the driving while I set lines. Couple more years and she'll be setting lines. Total Chaos
  13. Thanks guys, when I'm out with Hailey she has to be the focus if I want her to grow up to be a sportswoman and enjoy the outdoors. So if I miss out on a LOC fish once in a while so be it. We all had a good time so that's all that really matters. Total Chaos
  14. I took Hailey and family out again this weekend and she got a Brown Trout. A good one that would have made the LOC board had I reeled it in. However kids come first so I let her do it. The fight took 10 minutes but I only showed the end because of the file size. Total Chaos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfmzW9BNnyo&feature=youtu.be
  15. You should be able to get 200ft of copper on it. That will get it 45ft down. Total Chaos
  16. Why do you need a line counter? You put out the entire 450' so you know how much is out there. You'll save money right there by not buying a line counter reel. I use Okuma Catalina 55 wide spool. I think a Penn 345 and a Tecota 800 will work as well. My Catalina isn't a levelwind but it's never been an issue on my boat. Total Chaos
  17. I run Amish boards. Last week I ran a 2, 5 and 7 color core and in the past I've run a 5, 7 and 10 color cores with no issues. Had Otter boats years ago before the double keel and never liked them. Total Chaos
  18. Rich, I think I will be there Sunday. Either way, next time I'm up I'll bring it with me. Brian
  19. Rich, I see I never posted the picture I took. It's a short 18" or 20" cord. I just added a pic. Brian
  20. Big Papa sports. I think it www.bigpapasportfishing.com Total Chaos
  21. Anyone need a shore power cord. Like new condition. $15 plus $5 to ship. Paypal preferred. Total Chaos
  22. I just set up a new to me boat and I also wanted to go with a track system. The 6 boats I had before this all got bolted to the gunnels except my Trophy which I used the recessed rodholders to mount everything. That said, I'm glad I went with a track system on this one. Much neater and it gives you a lot of options for equipment. I went with Traxstech. I know there's others and someone will have a good reason why not to use Traxstech and to use one of the others. I can tell you the Traxstech are quality made and they look great. They seem to be built tough. From what I read they have great customer service. I don't know because I haven't had to use it. I bought their tracks, rodholders and there swivel bases for my riggers. All of it is good quality stuff. I did however by Berts ratcheting Dipsy rodholders because Traxstech was to pricey for me. The Berts are nice rodholders. If you go to the video section on this site I had put a video up under first shot at editing gopro footage. You can see my track setup in that video. The entire setup cost me around $800 and that includes the tool/cupholder and short track with rodholder on the transom. As far as the boats, I bought a Baha with twin ob's. I love the ob's. My boat had a bracket which is nice because it gives you the extra room in the back of the boat. I had looked at the Coastals and didn't like the lost space with the built in bracket but going the size you're looking at you'll still have plenty of room. Good luck. Total Chaos

  24. Well, if there is another Total Chaos he's an imposter. There can only be one Total Chaos and it's me! Lol
