    10 days ago Fishhawk rolled out their new double wide transducer on You Tube and Facebook as a live show. I had a chance to test the new double wide transducer on December 18th, 2024 up in the Sea on Lake Champlain. It's pretty amazing the signal went all they out to 200 feet of cable. The old one the signal is good up to 120 ft of cable especially with currents on Lake Ontario. Here is my 30 second video test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gQQ3WJHFOw

    I wired in this waterproof switch mounted to the trailer to turn on in launch parking lot. Illegal in Vermont to run accent lights over the road. The switch solved this issue. I used two Lighting kits to do mine. One only did half my trailer.

    I added Vessel View 5 years ago and it's been a nice accessory for my 200 Mercury. Track rpm's and fuel burn on the app on my phone. I log all my maint. I do. It tells you by hours when that maint. is due. Blue tooth connectivity to phone. When I am away from the boat I can pull up my phone app and check fuel left in in tank and hours on engine. When I pull a tube for the kids I just use the App tracking rpm and mph. A great multi-use tool!

    We had 4-5 nice fish. Two year classes of fish. One small one. Had a lot of video clips to go thru and may have missed a few. Photos captured some of the nicer fish! Released all fish! Thanks for asking!

    What an amazing day and worth the 6 hour drive to Rochester, NY from Vermont! Thank you Richard Hajecki for an incredible day!

    Thanks! Not for everyone for sure! I like having the blue lights for night vision quality.

    Truthfully it's not a gimmick. I get it. We launch in the dark when we travel to Lake Ontario 3x a year from Vermont. The light is very useful when getting the boat ready ie. putting the antenna up / taking off the windshield cover / taking the straps off the back of the boat. Just as the interior lights are of the same value before launching setting up the inside of the boat. LED trailer lights never have to be unplugged and basically maint. free! Same with these trailer specific lights by T-H marine.. I used two kits to fill all the space in under the trailer. I added a switch to turn it off over the road due to it's illegal to run accent lights in Vermont.

    Labor day week fishing Stagers here is a tip that will help people fishing Deep with Divers! Using the 124mm super sized Dreamweaver Diver will easily get to 95-105 ft which was super successful this past September for us landing 18 salmon each day we fished and a crazy amount of bites and lost fish over the two day's we fished. Tracking them with Smart Troll really helped our cause as well. In the past we never had any idea where are divers were running and they were standard size. Yielding very few bites this time of year as they weren't deep enough. We ran 4 riggers as well. Here is a link to a video I found on this Diver: This diver added many fish to our spread on Stagers Labor Day week. https://youtu.be/qG4VuUMqVcU

    Just finished a 3 day project about 8 hours of wiring and rigging with Black Oak LED accent lights. Nice for Ontario setting up in the parking lot and out on the water. Plus the Shoot-Out. Video tour link: https://youtu.be/8FkDOs7sC7Q image hosting services

    No need to winterize the boat or engine.

    Look forward to the Frostbite derby Jason! See you Saturday! I have kielbasa in bbq sauce for the BBQ after the weigh in! Fish On! Nice you have a new engine!

    It's not the caliber of Ontario but heck when you can nearly fish all winter for Landlock salmon that jump on light tackle! Occasional brown or rainbow! Places to hide out of a south and north wind over deep water not far from the ramp! Win-Win! No need to ice fish! Or wait till March or April to put a boat in!

    Sorry to hear your selling Rusty! I get it if your not using something it's tough to let it sit idle too. These boats fish well up to 5 ft swells in Lake Ontario. I keep my front bow as light as possible with nearly no weight and a bow cover always in place. No electric trolling motor or batteries up there. I do have a 30 lb bell anchor but that's it. You will have no problem selling it and it's wise till wait till Spring during the peak selling season. I sold Starcraft boats for 14 years retired now. I know a good friend of mine that might be interested in your boat here in Vermont.

    My 2013 Starcraft Fishmaster 196 with 4 months to go to finish the 2024 season at this point has 10,997 miles recorded on my Simrad Autopilot log checked today and 3,100 hours on the previous 150 hp Mercury and repowered 200 hp Mercury 5 years ago combined. Is it fair to say it gets some use?

    Some great questions asked and some good support answers! I honestly haven't been this excited about a new product since I installed my first autopilot in 2005 on my boat. It's a great system to validate with my Fish Hawk Ultra and run both to play off each other with great data of temp and depth! I can move stuff around to take advantage of keeping my lures or paddles above the fish most of the time in the warmer water. It's even worked very well in our own Lake Champlain for landlock salmon our home water with Lite Bite Slide divers. I like both systems and they complement each other! Fishhawk and Smart Troll!

    Very true Les! It took me a little while to get use to seeing these differences hardly believing it and then I began just trusting the depths and temps on the screen and made my adjustments! Felt very confident when Divers starting popping vs. riggers many times over 3 trips to Ontario this past year! My buddies the first day on another boat without Smart Troll never had a bite on their divers. I can relate to this prior to Smart Troll!
