Saw this off Rochester while fishing in September of 2012.

Wondering if you still got issues or did it just start working again like mine does. 

Or start earlier. [emoji849]

Quit fishing at 10:30.

Is it not reading at any depth?
Does the wet paper towel in the antennae help?

Sorry,  should have made that more clear. Province of Ontario canada

According to the news release hunters with a outdoors card and small game license can take 15 a day from Sept 15th to Dec. 31st. 

Like Brian said, a reasonable effort must be made to retrieve and dispose of killed or wounded birds. Cormorant stew anyone?    

Hopefully the USFWS will monitor the hunt this fall and allow something similar in the US. And not be influenced by wacko environmental  groups who think they are a beautiful bird. 

Without trying to sound like I know what I’m talking about,  Wouldn’t your 600  depth correspond more with a 22 or 23 N line. 43 is the degree line. 23 would be the minutes and much more accurate. We saw you running in late morning. Thanks for the wide swing around us in 120fow 

Sounds like a very capable tow vehicle. My guess is your boat/trailer combo runs about 6000-6500 lbs. Adding fuel and equipment maybe 7000-7500. I also wouldn’t worry about trailering the 8ft 9in beam. I’ve been trailering a 8ft 10in for 10 years and zero issues

I drilled out the two rivets and replaced with the same. I was desperate       

Take a look inside the head unit and see if spider webs may be causing the problem. Happened to me several years ago and that was it. That analog needle is very sensitive

Nice! Any more detail on the brown fishing? My Dad is taking my daughter out tomorrow and wants to target browns. Thanks.

Check your PMs

Temps were down around 90 ft out of I-Bay on Wednesday. Winds should not have changed that too much

Good luck

     If you’re going to go 2 for 2 it might as well be those 2

Thanks for the post. Commenting is very easy on that link. Let them know you want action not words.

Tunas Reel Troubles recommends mono backing on wire reels

Backing is necessary! 100yds of 25lb mono then your 1000ft of wire will fill a 30 size Okuma reel.  Check the spooling chart at the top of this section of the forum.

One downside of using new Sea Flee is it won’t hold in a Scotty pinch type release because it is so slick. I have to switch back over to black releases on my riggers when I spool some on.  Blood Run even recommends taking 10 wraps before setting in the black to prevent slippage. Everything is a trade off. No matter the species though, they don’t like it.

Any one ever try a twill tip with a downrigger line using mono? They seem to scrape them off with wire on the dispsy rods.

I think it’s the sawing action of the wire on the twilli tip which makes them fall right off. Not sure that would be the case with mono.

We’ve been using Blood Run Sea Flee for a couple years on riggers. Works great

Heading out also

Nope. Not sure how you would/could rig that

Terminations are easy with steel - just use small crimps.  My vote is for steel unless you fish with people that have multiple years of experience with copper.

I’d like to see a pic of your crimped connections. How do they fit thru level winds and eyelets?

Consider that making  terminations with steel is a pain in the a- -.  Copper connections are much easier to deal with IMO

Nice catch and thanks for the report. Good to see some inside brown action. Hopefully that water sets up a little east also. 

I’d be careful.  What’s the HP rating for that True Temper.  Looks a little overpowerd.

Mitchels is still a weigh station.  

Good to know, thanks Brian. Maybe they should note that on the LOC homepage
