hey there
i think the moderators on this site
used poor judgment on deleting my reply
in the buy and sell forum
regarding a 220 princecraft
why
we have to look out for each other
that is a sour deal and someone
i guess im the black sheep
felt obligated to say it
cause im an honnest man and a fisherman
yes most of us knows its a bad deal
but some may not know that a boat that size
to put a main motor on it is way over 20k
should i have let an innocent fisherman get played NO
maybe i didnt use the right choice of words on my reply
but i hope in helped someone

Hey there
yep use long boom
i got 96 beam and never had a problem
set up on the corner of the boat
2 straight back and 2 90degre out on the side
what is important is the depth at wich you set your riggers
so that they dont get tangle on a release
i always set up my Inside deeper then my outside riggers
plus dont do like (SABONATION)
and use stiffer rod holders for your dipsys
dont use cheap plastic ones
and use long rods for your dipsys
and your dipsy rod should never be over your rigger boom
closest to the water possible

Hey there
excuse me but those rod holders are real cr...p
friend of mine showed me yesterday his set-up
he has 4 on each side of the gunel
the 2 first one on his side he uses for dipsys
and they wabble like bubble heads you put on a dash
and only a season not even fisnish at that
do yourself a favor and look at the new rachered rod holders
from traxtech i bought 2 this year to try them
wow you will see right away this is good stuff
not made out of cheap aluminum sheet
just go look at them

Hey there
i'm from montreal
i bought stuff from members of this site and spoonpulers site
from canada and us members
never had a problem without seeing the stuff first
once had a problem but it was post office fault and ( legacy) fixed it right up
so yeah there always a slight chance ot something bad hapening
not all members are gentlemen but i think most are respectable person
i dealt with most 500$ stuff without seeing
but i would never buy thousound dollard boat without sea trial cmon
very sry about your deal going sour
life is a endless Learning curve

Hey there

i have a switch between my cranking and deep cycle batterie
when im booting my main i charge both batteries then i close the swich to off
when im trolling my kicker only charges my deep cycle
that way when im ready to leave im sure my all my acc including downrigger didnt take the juice out of my main batterie
the thing connected to my main batteries are pump and intrument on dash
i use a bussbar on deepcycle batterie

Hey there
i run 300 and 500 copper
7 and 10 color lead
and use shower curtain clip and rubber band
size of rubber band depends on water condition
i carry 3 size of rubber band
very cheap in dollard store
always go with the weakest size first
you will see right away if you need to go to bigger size
now usaly right of the bat with the water condition i know wich size to use (experience)

Hey there
i use weed wacker fluo color line
more visible and my release (shower clip) slide very good on them

Hey there
i try not to spend a ton of money on my gear
but one good expensif reel is better then buying a new cheap one every year
the worst thing or weakest thing you have to check IMHO on reels
is the drag system
for line capacity you got tons of trolling reels you can choose from
for every aplications
i use daiwa l47 for my riggers 6 years now arround 90$can
tekota 700 for copper and lead set-up 2 years now arround 240$can
rapala hydros for dipsy set-up 2 years now going on third and the drag is still good arround 120$can
ALL my rods are ugly sticks different lenghs for different aplications
cheap and so far never broke one
except when one of my kids close my bimini top on them LOL
i fish an average of 30 days a year on the BIG O

Hey there
out of curiosity
what is that contraption or rod made for
is it for jigging when icefishing ?
thefrenchman

Hey there
price?

The small rope on the board (connects to the front of the board and the back of the board) needs to be measured correctly when it is installed or they will dive and sink. If I was home right now, I would go out in the garage and get the measurements.
Hey there
i think i'm folowing you a bit
just like when i did my boards i drilled another hole a bit further back
cause they were not pulling sideways enought
so you are saying that my tow line wasnt picking up enought slack and the nose was diving down
is that correct?

Hey there
Markbellino those are awesome
but they dont sell outside U S
you know a place where they would sell these to canada
i looked at amish even owned some for spoons and dipsy from them
but they dont hold the ones you showed
it would save me alot of quality fishing time

Hey there
Gambler would you care to explain or be a bit more specific plz
i try to run them about 25 feet on the side of the boat and maybe 5 feet more or less behind the back of the boat
making it very easy to slide down the clip
its been working very well for me thus so far
the mat is at the front of the boat 6 feet up

Hey there
last year my bro gave me his otter boats to try when i came back i gave it back to im
didnt like it one bit they where always sinking and not running true
next week i made my own planner boards using plans from youtube
tried them and they where jumping all over the place
so the next week i added a piece of lead Under the outer side of the board 1/8 by 3/4 24 inch
and sinse then wow running true and running them in good waves no problem
so inexpensif you should keep your option open and try it its really cheap
and i also use shower curtains and different rubber band size for release
i use weed waker line the fluo colored ones
my boards have big canadian flags on them
i want people to see them in the water
better for me and i think its better for everyone safety
just my 2 cent

Hey there
a nice guy sold me some on this site to try this year
cant wait to try it
i'm sure the scent trace will help improve bites on slow days
some days you see marks and they dont bite you know what i mean
maybe wont notice it on good days but i'm sure it will have an effect
