10-4 - I was afraid of that (trying to avoid pulling up the deck if I can) - haha - but very much appreciate the info!! 

Its really not that bad. Little more security too.

Hey Rookie Fisherman - happy new year!  I was looking at this option with my Tracker as well - but was curious about how you secured the motor to the transom.  The riser works well for sure - I have my wood chunk all cut / treated, did you just use some stainless lag-screws to bolt the motor on to the transom/hull or did you even bother with that?  I got a kicker with power trim / etc. so am thinking that even if I secure with a Jack Plate or the riser as you did - I'm still drilling into the transom to secure the motor to the transom.  Anyway - if you think of it - shoot me a response - would very much appreciate it!

Pitch,

I removed the back deck to access the inside off the transom and through bolted with washers & locking nuts.

2 Bolts and tighten the clamps on the motor. 

Happy New Year!

Sorry to hear about your buddy, that sucks. Nice that you pay homage to him with the naming of your new rig. Tight lines.

I am switching one setup to 80# braid this season only because several comments have posted that it picks up way fewer fleas... gonna run it and find out. I hate stripping fleas, dont we all.

 

 

 

Dude you gotta change your boat name Just Kidding.

WHY DIPSEYS? 

#1. Reason: When a big fish smacks a diver rod its just plain awesome! 

You have a lot of versatility in running divers. Small divers for shallow fish, larger divers for deep fish etc.

There are days when divers just out fish everything else, but the same can be said for riggers, coppers & cores.

Im not sure I would give up my riggers before my divers as other have said but if you are only fishing riggers you should definatley add divers.

Here is how I mounted mine on the hard top. Switch is just inside the pilot house so I can reach the line and switch at the same time when needed. Had Cisco make the arm for the pulleys a little longer. Works perfect.

Looking to buy.

11" Stinger (pro-troll) Color patterns in Wannabe (1st two pictures) and Jacks Pretty Girl (last picture) 

If any body has one or more to spare let me know.

Thinking about Electric planer board reels. Pros/cons, suggestions? Never had or used them. Big Jon’s look most popular. Also hoping to complete my full ugly stick spread. Just need a few more brown rods, cores and coppers and I will be fully converted. 

Take a look Cisco's electric planer reels. All pro's no cons in my opinion. Not cheap but very nice!

Easier for me to ship as I don't know when ill be back in Oz.

Have the same light that Rick mentioned above. Just a single light and it works fairly good. Has several modes Bright white, Dimmed white and Blue light.

My hard top has a recessed area in the middle that was perfect for mounting a single light. If not for that I probably would have installed 2, although not necessary.

That looks sweet!

I went with the Saltists for the long cores due to the high speed gear ratio. 6.4 to 1

The Tekotas are 4.2 to 1.

The new Tekota A's are high speed but not sure about capacity for the longer cores. Maybe someone here is more familiar with the new Tekota A's will respond.

Both are good reels and will serve you just fine

My lowrance gen 3 draws quite a bit of volts and will start to flicker and get fuzzy after about a half hour of drifting 

The draw is measured in amps. Depending on the size of your graph average draw should only be 1-2 amps per hour.

If you are only getting ½ hr then there is a good chance your battery maybe the issue, or possibly some other underlying problem.
