Now I just need the the lake to lay down so I can give it a try   

Thanks for the great advice!

Thanks for the a Great info !

Not to go off topic but you have my interest with the perch.

If you don’t mind me asking where and how do you catch them ?

thanks jt

New to fishing for walleye in the basin . Trying to get a feel how late in the year You can target walleyes in the basin. Seems that they are moving deeper. Any thoughts?

thanks jt

If your asking me 63 feet. Probably should have launched at SP because we were a lot closer to SP then SBH. But 63 close to the fence. Fish were on the bottom .

we run 2 riggers and 2 wire divers. 

Fished Erie out of SBH ran gambler rigs on one side and a stick and spoon on the other trolling at 2 mph. Boxed out with 18 eyes The gambler rig out performed the stick and spoon 2 to 1   Them eyes LOVE worms 

Jakeybaby, thanks for the info. After fishing lake o for years for trout and salmon I like the fact you can troll these in Erie at the same speed as lake O. Just feel you can cover so much more water at 2+ then the normal 1mph for normal worm harness. Plus I should be able to run them along side my stick baits .

Just ordered some ..thanks again

Jakeybaby, interested in the gambler rig.

how fast can you troll them for eyes ?

did you have a favourite colour?

and where can you buy them ? Thanks

Ttt

Pending payment.  Will update if sold Or not .

Thanks

Selling some Roemer and Black releases. Two of the Roemers are missing the cable tension clip. 

$30.00 for everything in the picture

PM if interested 

Thanks Jack

I use the wire knot on my prob cable.  Scrap the coating off and tie it to a heavy duty swivel ,works great. 

You probably know , but be sure to use a good sealant when you mount it so the transom won’t rot. 

Make offer if interested

Sounds like deep v wander. Any boat I had with a fair amount of dead rise tend to wander at slow speeds. Only seems bad in close quarters , when I’m trolling in the lake I don’t notice it as much because it will correct it self without much correction at the wheel.

Yankee,

thanks for the offer , but I can’t squeeze 3 more batteries on board.

Yankee,

i noticed on your pic of your Lund you have a bow mount trolling motor. Is your Helix attached to the trolling motor for auto pilot ?

hoping to buy a minkota and helix for auto pilot and anchor and would be nice to hear from someone who has this setup.

thanks

After a few years of use I like to reverse the cable. Take it all off cut the bad section where the clip was and attach that end to the spool. Now your using cable that was probably never used for your terminal end. This is especially good if you have coated cable for your probed ,you can get a few more years out of the cable.

good luck

I am about to do the same thing , use a Minkota for auto pilot and anchor.

I was wondering if anyone had a trolling motor with the auto stow/deploy and if it is reliable and worth the extra money?

thanks

Looks like you have some Cisco cradle holders in the pic.  Are those for sale as well?

Has anyone tried the Michigan worm burners trolling for walleyes ? They say you can pull them the same speed as your stick baits. Might be nice behind the riggers

Been running Scottys since 1994 off the back of the weight. Never had any reason to change.

I run Scotty’s as well . I put 3’ leads on them and grab them with a small boat hook so I don’t have to muscle the balls into the boat to reset the release. For walleyes I use the smaller planner board release. With the long leads on the releases it’s easier to see the small fish move the rod.  Saw the long leads on Salt Patrols web site a west coast salmon guide . Interesting to see how they do things out there.

I’ve been the12# balls I used in lake O. What do you think is the right size ball for this ?

are you running bait or spoons.

Thanks JT
