  1. Lucky. Those quotes you posted from Steve Lapan while you were "listening" were in the printed handout.
  2. I asked the same question back in June. There are a few opinions posted in the Questions about Trout & Salmon Trolling topic. Jerryriggin posted some great comments about his experience with them. I ordered one in June to try it out. Really impressed with the quality. 140 fpm speed was just right. The clutch system worked well with 16lb shark. It does require yearly lube with was included. Motor super quiet. I wish it came with cord caps though. After fretting about it for two weeks, I shipped it back and bought 2 Pro Scottys. On my 25 ft boat with a 8 ft 10 in beam they take up a lot of space. Easily twice as big as the MM's. We'll see how next season goes with them. I would not hesitate to make another change.
  3. Star Brite Non-skid deck cleaner. I get it at Wal-Mart.
  4. Hans. Sorry to see Upgrady for sale but glad to hear you're still going to be trolling. 10 meter Trojan next? Kevin
  5. Great recommendation. Watched 2 episodes last night. Editing top notch. Interesting to hear the business angle for each boat. Much more realistic than the Wicked show .
  6. When referring to winds, my two all time favorite words are"light and variable".
  7. Maybe not whacking it with your mini Louisville Slugger would have helped it get to 8lbs. [emoji1] [emoji41] Sent from my SM-G950U using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  8. I have a 627 and the scrolling speed definitely changes the shape of the fish. The default speed is #1. NymphO's idea works to improve your screen also or if you're fishing the top 75 FOW go to manual range and set it to look at 90-100 ft. Improves the look on the smaller screen units
  9. 2 Pursuit, now Traxtech, rodholders, Fits all tracks. Like new. $110.00 Rochester NY area. PM for info
  10. 2 Big Jon Electrics riggers for sale. Very good condition. 300 ft new cable on one. Motor completley refurbished on the other. $500.00 for the pair. Guaranteed. PM for info.
  11. Definitely fireworks from shore is what I was told. Bad element down there at night
  12. Very sorry to hear it was your boat. I heard about it early Thurs AM and was hoping there was no serious damage to anyone's boat. Hopefully insurance will get you back on the fish soon.
  13. We thought it was fleas we were dealing with on Friday out of I-Bay when actually its cottonwood clumps sticking to the line. Very hard to pick off but no odor like fleas. It had a greenish color to it from being in the water awhile. Fleas will be along when water warms
  14. Sutters in Canandaigua has certified Yamaha technicians. Have used them for PM service. I troll with a 2009 250 HP and also use Ring Free at every fueling. 1800 hrs and going strong
  15. Anybody have any opinions on the Magnum Metalz downriggers. I'm shopping for new riggers. They have all the features I'm looking for and a reasonable price. Got a good write up in GLA Magazine.
  16. Our experience is you can run leadcore in a Scooty release but not far at all from the boat cause of the sag in the line running to the release. Copper is even worse.
  17. Tuna Tom's reel repair suggests about a 100ft of heavier mono. 40 or 50 lb.
  18. That's why we fish, for a catch like that. Congrats
  19. Check out the Handheld VHF posting in This Old Boat. Several opinions there
  20. Glad to hear Dave is the real deal. Love the "Hard Merch"
