  1. Staging king weapon trolled at 3.5-4.5 mph!  Have used them on Lake Huron with success when the fish are moody and won't bite at 2.5 mph with J-Plugs.  8 blanks with split rings and hooks to customize or tape your own creation!  Also great for targeting steelhead at these speeds!  2 sizes shown in photos.

  2. I know Ed very well the owner and like I mentioned he has owned this boat since 1985 always garage kept.  The last 20 years a few 3 day derbies on Champlain and very little use over the seasons.  It's never been to Ontario.  All Champlain.  The launch is 1 mile from his house.   Ed is downsizing and out of the fishing picture these days in retirement.

  4. Here is the new video just made showing how the Slideducer is installed on the rigger cable with no cutting required.  The data cord plugs into the back of the display.  The display should be anchored.

     

     

     

     

     

    Here is a great video from Fish Hawk that shows how to set this system up without a downrigger:

     

     

     

     

  5. Looks nice.  I have a 2013 Fishmaster 196 and I have no need to step up into the bow as the bow cover is always in place and have no trolling motor up in the front.  I also keep my Mr. Buddy dual burner propane heater in the middle area where that step is shown when we fish from November till late December  and March thru May in Lake Champlain with the heater for Landlock salmon.

     

    Neat ideas and the boxes look very professional!

  7. Adk1,

     

    Honestly, I'd reorganize my electronics priorities if I were you.  I'd fish without a graph before I'd fish without downspeed and temp.  You can get by with a second rate or even 3rd rate graph, but if you don't know where the temps are and what the currents are doing down where your baits are running, you might as well stay on shore, IMO.

    I agree with Tim 100% We fish the Niagara Bar (LOC derby) in the Spring and Lake Champlain the rest of the season for Atlantics and dealing with currents all the time.  The Fish Hawk is the gold standard for us.  Especially identifying the upper and lower Thermocline in the Summer.  

     

    I could make the case we have been fishing 32 years and we could still catch fish without a probe.  The metaphor is:  I could also say I really like my automatic transmission in my car now versus a stick shift back in the day and shifting all day.   :)  Just saying.    Shift or auto transmission?  Autopilot or steering the boat manually (that is another thread)?  I prefer improvements and technology for the sport.  Where we would be today if we were still using a flasher sonar from 1980?  :)
