Thanks guys I will check the battery and connections....makes sense......I beleive the battery isn't that old....I am betting on the connections......keep ya posted......again thanks... Scott

I have an issue that has arisen on my boat..... When Electronics (Humminbird FF and Garmin hand held GPS) are turned on and boat has already been started the FF and GPS are fine......when I shut boat off, FF & GPS stay powered as they should. When I restart the boat with FF/GPS powered on, I get a loss of power to the electronics which I haven't had in the past.. The FF & GPs are wired directly to the battery, via the power strip in the dash......any suggestions on what I may have going on?.....Someone I talked to mentioned the voltage regulator on the alternator.....oh, this is a 4 cyl mercruiser I/O.

oh boy, a program.....I don't really have one for up there....The water is crystal clear up there. No weeds yet, this early in the season. The northerns are being seen now in the shallows off docks and shallow bays. The Eyes are hidden around structures still in probably 15 to 30 FOW. I might try bucktail jigs, dixie spinners w/ worms or trolling stickbaits for Walleyes. Same for northerns with spoons... I am seeing the weather forecast now for the weekend as being a little warmer with sunny clear skies.........probably will do morning and evening runs for them......I always stop at the TI Bait store ask what they are hearing is working and adjust accordingly...it a place to start......Ever been up there?......Its really an awesome area, the main channel can get busy with boat traffic, but I try to stay away from all of that.....Eel bay is one of my favorites for drift trolling in about 7 to 10 foot of water. Like I said, I don't have a plan....pretty much a seat of the pants plan depending on the day...

Just wanted to start a thread here on fishing in the St. Lawrence River.....We will be headed there for 4 days over the Memorial Day weekend. And of course will be putting a rod or 2 in the water. We usually fish anywhere from the Thousand Island Bridge to Cape Vincent, depending on fish reports/rumors. This will also be our boat shakedown trip for the season...with a new boat setup changed from last season. Changed from 2 Big Jon DR's off the stern to 2 Cannon short boom Mag 10A DR's of the stern and 2 long boom Mag 10 DR's on the side gunnels. We may even venture down around the Cape towards Black River Bay, not sure yet. Has anyone had any luck on that portion of the river yet or heard of any reports?.......we usually go for Walleyes, Northerns or Musky. Should be a fun time.....weather looks good for fishin, not too hot, nor bright skies......keep ya all posted.....

Hey, Newbie........congrats on your first trip, first fish in the boat, and congrats to your wife. Glad the day went well and produced. Good luck in your future adventures, the seasons just beginning......it gets easier......

Hello all, I have been reading posts here on everything and anything for about 6 months and now decided to join. I am very impressed on the knowledge that someone can pick up on here, wether its fishing. selling, buying, boats, trailering.....electronics......and its all from local folks, what a site........kudos.......I am located just south of Watertown, about 15 minutes from Henderson Harbor area........mostly put the boat in there or anywhere north along the St. Lawrence River...... We have a 19' Starcraft Islander am slowly getting geared up for using down riggers and planer boards.....and oh boy do I questions......... Scott
