Rookie Fisherman

On the east end the larger size works better for me for some reason. It is always in the spring rotation. Oddly enough that lure has also caught a couple seagulls, its just must look that good. 5 trips so far this spring it has taken multiple fish on 4 of those days.

It is. Ocean Pro.

This may be AP model/boat specific. My Raymarine Evolution systems runs great at low speeds, no problem trolling for lakers at 1.5-1.8. Obviously at slow speeds wind/wave push can come into play. Yup it needs to be calibrated. Ray's tech support is really good. They also have a forum on their website that is very helpful and the tech support staff usually answers questions within 24 hrs. You very well may be able to find the calibration instructions on their website forum.

X2. I agree well done Toad Huinter

Got off to a slow start Saturday. Once I got on the water I had to re-calibrate the AP as I had updated the software on my displays. Ran the boat on the hoses earlier in the week with full systems check & service, no issues all good. Get on the water went through all the systems and I discover I have no throttle control on the kicker for the troll control unit. Back to the dock to diagnose, a set screw on the linkage had fallen out. Quick fix with a "zip tie" and I was back out on the water. Saturday. Headed straight out and set up in deeper water so I could troll back in already set up. Thought it would be easier since I was solo and the fog was thick early. Started on an east troll 10-12' of water was best although got a few little deeper. Trolled all the way to the buoys at the plant and circled back to one spot that was real productive. Smithwick Log Perch was best and Tennessee Bleeding shad second. All Browns, 8lbs or so the biggest. Fished about 6 hours for 15 fish boated. Sunday. Fishing solo again I headed west as there was nice colored water all along the shoreline. Started the morning with a quick 0-3 then a nice "Salmon Surprise" Fished 8 hours. 8-12' of water was best for me. 2.4 SOG (didn't have the probe in) 43° pockets of water held the most fish. Again Log perch was getting bit also black & silver Rapala. Steady pick of mostly smaller fish all morning. Bite died for a bit so I started rotating through baits and the brighter colors started firing for while. Had two solo doubles. First time 1 for 2... second time got them both! On the troll back to the harbor I lost a good one right in front of Rudy's, certainly a double digit fish. Shortly after that picked up a bow/steelhead then called it a day. Great day of fishing and weather!

I thought the same thing! Especially on a boat with no sidewall height. Water looks calm but accidents happen. Also as you said you guys were out there all by yourself. One slip and your in a life threatening situation with the water temps this time if the year. Job well done with the lakers!

Got to love those west coast style boats!

Nice piece of living room furniture!

Put as big of a backer plate as you can fit under the gunwale (length & width) as you can to distribute the flex from the downrigger. We pulled the cleat so the backer plate took up the whole section from the transom to just before the rod locker. Re-installed cleat of course with longer stainless hardware. We used ¾" Marine ply. Choice of material is up to you but just make sure its strong. If you plan to fish heavy weights or bounce bottom at all I wouldn't do it any other way as the metal on top of that gunwale is not too thick. As mentioned above if you raise the downrigger it will create more leverage and flex on the gunwale. We had ours raised but we also had Big Jons on that boat so the booms also helped with the flex.

Well thats good! at least they all match. I still think something is off though. 1. No 192 Listed under Pro-Mag for that model year in Smoker Catalog 2. Graphics/paint do not match 2010 models 3. Windshield style is from pre-2008 Who knows could have been a limited run in 2010 or something. Good Luck with the sale! Smoker is a good boat I have had a couple of them and never had any issues.

You have something really weird going on there! See they did not make a "192 Pro-mag" in 2010. The Catalog shows 182 as the biggest for that year. You should also send pictures of your boat to Smoker to see if they can identify. Did you look at the hull tag on the boat as well?
