Olcott 9/14

After a 5 year hiatus I found my way back to Olcott ( been fishing Erie )  Fished solo 12 to dark. Had a hit and a miss before I could even get my 3rd rod in the water got to love it when that happens. Got all 3 rods in shortly after I got a descent King 20 lb.ish  1st King in 5 years and I am on the board. Next fish was a nice mid teens Bow great variety! Wound up with 3 nice Bows and 4 mature Kings dropped my 5th. 2 of the 5 I would say were in the low 30lbs.Was a great trip. Had my hands full scooping the Kings solo especially with the dipsey rod.65 to 72fow seemed to be the ticket for me.Fished ff on all 3 rods.Riggers down 55 to 65' Dipsey 185 to 200' back on #3 setting.Sure felt good to have fish that scream drag.I love catching Walleye and eating them but they sure don't fight like that.

Did you check all connections and inline fuses on your positive leads.?

Great catch Anthony !

pap I think they my be discontinued. I might be able to get you one. I gave one to a buddy and then his unit died.I will see if he still has it. 

If your rpms are high and your losing thrust you spun a rubber hub like Bob said or your motor is trimmed to high and you are grabbing air on your prop. I saw your other post about your trim. Maybe you are trying to keep it trimmed up to far ?

I put mine on the port side to counter my weight and to keep it away from my transducer.

I still have a few lengths of Alum.you could use for backer plate. If your in the area and if it would work for your application.

Nice job pap great fish.I was on Erie and you guys wiped me.

If you go with aluminum I still have a few lengths of these. 

I have been using Daiwa Wilderness Trolling Rods in Med action from Fishusa for my board rods last few years.Hard to beat for $16 each. They even come with a hook keeper.They are currently back ordered but should be back in stock soon.  

What kind of deal can you give me Bruce for the Penn reel I Hooked you up with last year ?

Was out last night little color.Had a good steady pick 2 man limit.

I have a Lowrance LCX 38 Bracket, knobs, transducer and power cord. No screen cover or GPS puck. $350 shipped.

If your talking about Hanks( L&M ) OMC bracket it's sold but he has a nice Garelick for sale also.

Might make your good deal not so good    http://www.cabelas.com/product/Panther-Marine-Motor-Tilt-and-Trim-and-Electro-Steer/701395.uts

I would think it would have mechanical fasteners.I am surprised it has a fiberglass tank.I no my older Seanymph has a metal tank.

I still like the sixteenth chapel.I think Nick should name one of his spoons that.

If you have a live well that takes in water from a pump check the lines and have a spare plug in case they become compromised.Sometimes they hold water after draining your boat in the fall and freeze over the winter and split. Found that one out the hard way a few years ago opening night of Walleye.10 minutes into fishing my deck was covered in water. If I didn't have a spare plug boat would have sank.
