  1. I have downriggers ,dipsy divers and lead core. I was hoping to simplify my presentation a bit by adding the b/b. I’ve been using sticks and spoons which caught a lot of fish,but the more I learn it seems worms are the go bait. 
     After fishing lake O for some 30 plus years I’m use to trolling at 2 mph and thought the heavier b/b would work at that speed pulling worm harnesses. There’s a lot of water to cover on Erie so when your on the hunt faster seems better to me. 
     
     I would be very interested in that dipsy device. If you don’t see the hit on the dipsies it’s had to tell when a fish is on. 
     

    Stilling learning about walleye fishing so I really appreciate all this great feed back!

     

  2. Looking at the pictures of coosboard on their website I notice in marine applications it is glassed in place with resin/epoxy and some cloth. That process makes the board very rigid. On an aluminium boat you can only bolt the board to the transom . Will it be rigid enough to support the engine if not encased in resin/epoxy and cloth ?

    Good luck!

  3. So fished out of the Catt Monday. Fished 60 to 80 feet worked hard for a few nice eyes. Tried perch in 50 ,caught a few and some monster cat fish on lite tackle. 

    When we come back in to the launch DEC was there asking about our catch and told us the lake had turned over and everyone was working hard for fish

    So all in all was a great day to be on the water

  4. Like to go fishing Monday out of the basin looks like the lake might lay down for a bit. Anybody hear of anybody catching eyes in the area? Haven’t fished in a few weeks and not sure where to start. 

    Thanks 

  5. These motors run very lean. I removed the small plug on the carb that covered the needle valve and richen it up . Because these do run so lean it doesn’t take much dirt or fuel deposits to restrict the gas flow and make them run poorly. 

    Good luck

     

  6. Kind of autopilot. Have a 19’ stripper with 150 hp and 8t hp Yamaha. I also have a Minnkota Ulterra with ipilot I use for autopilot. The 8 hp pushes the boat and the minnkota steers the boat with a remote or through my Humminbird helix. Can pick a heading , follow depth contours or select waypoints and off we go. Works great plus it has an anchor feature too.

    just depends how big your boat is , but they did just come out with a 87” shaft for larger boats.

  7. May have nothing to do with your problem but my neighbor had the same issue . Gas in the oil. Turns out he bought a new fuel tank which are now sealed they have a vent to let air in but not out. So the sun would heat up the tank and force the gas into the motor. I also believe Yamaha's have a sensor that won’t let them run if there is to much oil (and gas) in the crankcase. He had to add a pressure relief valve to his fuel line.

    Went out Friday. Trolled for walleye. Caught one short. Fished for perch off the condo's on the west side and ended up with about 40 or so eaters till we ran out of bait. Also caught several on a perch eye. Was done by noon.
