Last One

Went to salmon school in Pulaski last month, two out of three of the charter capt's loved the Garmin Panoptix's

They showed a video of trolling, seeing the fish live, looked great. Added it to my boat last week, cant wait to try once we start fishing a little deeper.

Looking for some help on heading sensors.

Adding 18" Fantom radar to my boat this year for help with the fog.

Motion scope looks like it will be great to see other boats.

Not sure which heading sensor will work, Staedycast for $140 or Axion 9 $650?

Would like to use the Steadycast but don't want to waste money.

Also not sure if maybe Airman has one which will work.
Thank you in advance

Agreed had a great time and learned a lot, All the captains did a great job.

Would love to attend 2025.

Started with Big Jons broke two booms and went to Cannon Digitrols. After 20 years one Digitrol died and Screwy Louie replace the board and turned into a Mag 10

Also don't like the short stop and speed. Went to Optimum, wow speeds are adjustable and retrieve has a soft stop. Like bottom track and all the other bells and whistles.

Friends mostly have Scotty's and love them. Never tried or even seen the Magnum Metalz. Good Look

Nice Job, save a few for me on the weekend.

Look up Flo-Fast

Short of High water like 2019 launch will be open. My boat will be going in mid April, same as every year on the state launch.

We have a 24' Thompson with a swim plate form and want to add a kicker.

Few Questions 1. What size kicker 2. Would love to see pictures of a kicker added to a swim platform, not sure how to build the bracket

3. What is the best auto pilot and throttle control? This site has always been great with sharing information.

Last One here, we will be out. Fairhaven guys usually stay on 72. Flasher fly's worked best last weekend.

What is your boat name?

Now I see why red never worked for me. Great video.

OK, Thanks for the infro.

So, no one know the numbers for 2021? Seems odd.

Did not know that, please elaborate.

Can anyone tell me the stocking levels for 2021 Trout and Salmon?

All I can find is 2020, Did they increase or decrease the levels this year?

Only thing on the NYDEC site is the 2020.

Thanks for the infro, very helpful. My boat is a 2000 Thompson with a pilot house, so I am good.

Get the bags, they will also stabilize you in rougher water. When you can afford it get a fish hawk. With all the underlying currents on the lake.

Many times my surface speed was 3.2 and speed at the ball was 1.5 or the reverse. With the high water these days and the out flows, there is a lot of current to deal with these days.

Good Luck!

Great job!

Fished 80' to 180' could not buy a fish, moved out to 260' to 500' from 11:30 to 1:30 two steel heads and two salmon lost two others.

Cut the gill,throw them on a rope and over the side for about 10 minutes then in the cooler on ice.

Nice job, we will be up this weekend.

Thanks for the info

Bobfish,

                  Who make the watermellon you shared a picture of?

Thanks

Can someone post a picture of a watermellon lure? Everyone says these work well this year, is it a plain watermellon or with seeds.

Years ago we used NK watermellon lures, but then the one with black dots(seeds) did not produce.

Thank you,
