If my memory serves me well,it was the terrorist threat after 9/11 that caused the federal government to take very serious security measures around all of our nuclear plants. These closures may be a blessing in disguise,because that closed spot will become over populated with fish and they will spread out beyond the forbidden area.

Any color is good as long as its black.

You are probably right,but we all need our toys. It's exciting to see your rigger cables and your torpedoes on a colorful screen. To actually see what's happening below your boat is a great kick. Now,do we catch more because of it? Maybe.

furno 585 or lowrance hds 8 viewtopic.php?f=12&t=36887

Right now ,the Furuno 627 with an Airmar p66 will cost you $859 if you register with "The Hull truth" and buy it from Semperfifishing as a member of the Hull Truth . The Sitex SVS 650 with the same transducer costs $630 from that place. Both fishfinders are as powerful as the furuno 582 , they have a much higher resolution screen than the 582 or 585,but their screens are a bit smaller than the 582,the SVS 650 being a bit larger than the 627.

What about the more economical Humminbird combos..i.e. the 500 series or 700 series? I currently run a Humminbird 575 with side imaging and a triducer. It is their best (16 different shades)black and white. It's fine until you go searching for fish at higher speeds. The main problem with these humminbirds is that they make their own transducers and unlike the Airmar it is not always compatible with a different fishfinder. Furuno is in a class of its own.

Whether they are regular or radial is not so important. The important thing is the ply rating. My trailer tires are 8 ply.( I haul an Islander) The other important thing is a set of good brakes on your trailer. Under NY State law you must have brakes on trailers that are rated over a thousand pounds. It is not usually checked or enforced,but that is until you get into an accident. Besides it really saves you money on your truck brakes.

The 1KW Furuno 585 and 587 are top of the line and at the same time overkill for Lake Ontario. The Furuno 620 and its new and improved brother the 627 are all you need down to 600 feet and holding bottom. 99% of our fishing is done at depths not exceeding 200 feet so the 600 watt is fine (it is what the Furuno 582 uses). Another fishfinder that you may want to look at is the 600 watt Sitex 650. It's new on the block,but Sitex is right up there with Furuno in the commercial market.

sorry,mistake

Yes it does.

The 585 of course,but the furuno 627 is just as good and a lot cheaper

Semperfifishing has the Furuno 627 with a P66 Airmar transducer for $859 which is by far the cheapest anywhere. You will get a fishfinder that is as good as the Furuno 582 with a much better screen resolution and also more user friendly. The best way to get it is by registering onto "The Hull Truth" website and buying it through there. He also sells the Sitex SVS 650 with P66 Airmar transducer for $635. This finder is said to be the equal of the furuno 620. It is probably the most bang for your buck.

Well umh, I AM NOT SUPERSTITIOUS, but when I am in my own boat, I first bless the water with some of my own but if that does not work I pour a libation of either beer, coffee or whatever else I happen to be drinking. Beyond that,if things still don't work I start telling myself how beautiful a day it is, the planer boards go out with 2 lines on each side and the copper follows down the hole. At this point I have way too many lines to properly care for and whatever hits usually tangles up everything else. When fishing with my team,we have a very serious ritual involving washing our hands in a very secret blessed substance and during tournaments we add a ritual that is very secret but it includes a Hail Mary or two. Does it help? Why else would we do it?

This 2 year oath of good behaviour is part of a very old legal tradition that is kept alive in Guernsey. Besides,on an Island with only 65000 people,this guy is branded by now. Unless he wants to leave the island he will behave.

Nick,do you now have 2 boats for sale and a third one waiting for some room in your drive way?

The Garelick does have a problem that you should be aware of. When lowering the outboard,it also goes farther back behind the boat. In quiet water that does not matter,but when it gets a bit snotty, you will find that the waves will make it go in and out of the water causing the engine to race while no water gets into the water pump. This means that you must place your bracket below the specs given in the instruction manual. If you decide to buy a second hand garelick give me a shout and I will send you the manual.

My boat is also an 8 foot beam (Islander) And it seems that even the one down the middle is too much. I save that place for copper when it is too rough for planer boards

There is another pro for the fluorocarbon. When making fly leaders you will find that the fifty pound fluorocarbon gives the fly a much livelier action than mono,because it is much stiffer.

In that case you had better be prepared to sit on shore staring at a flat lake because a weather forecaster predicted 6 foot waves

Do not underestimate the fluorocarbon. Even for cod fishing at 300 feet down,my fluorocarbon leaders (everything else being equal) have better hookup rates than regular line

Check if the salt water o/b has anodes and what state they are in and check if you can loosen up bolts on the block and whether there is white powdery stuff around the bolts. If things loosen up easily and there is no evidence of electrolysis/corrosion (if fresh and salt water look the same) you should be alright on both. Ask to see the driveshaft on the salt water o/b and check for pock marks . If everything looks good ,go for the engine you like best and don't worry about salt.
