Just bought a new one so I will be ready for to try my luck in the Sandy Creek Shootout this coming weekend. Going forward I'm going to take the cap off and batteries out after each use to try and prevent any more issues with the probes. Hopefully fish hawk will stand by their product and do something as I bought the one that broke in August of last year. We shall see.

I will say Fishhawk has some of the best customer service. 

Guess that’s on me!!! I didn’t run a snubber. Thanks for the tip. Was brand new cable last fall. Only been out a handful of times. I do hate how fast they are. Someone suggested braid on them? But I can’t imagine how that would work with the fleas

It was going to be one of those days as my fish hawk probe went into error mode first time in the water this morning. The down temperature showed 03.1 which acccording to their website it means the temperature probe is bad. It will still read down speed. So we decided to stick it out and fish somewhat blind. We started out in 150fow and worked our way out to deep water. We got our first strike on a meat rig on the diver rod out 220. We ended up losing that fish. The next fish didn't come for about 90 mins when we were in about 300 fow. We ran a white glow crush spin doctor with matching flie down 100feet and got a nice steel head. We then ran out to 400 fow just looking around and seeing blank screens we moved back to 250 fow. The next fish was a decent mature king on the same spin doctor set up. No clue where the scale on the boat went but guessing it was 20lbs. Ended the day 2 for 3. Beautiful weather but a slow day out there. How did everyone else do out there today?

My fish hawk probe went into error mode to. Right to the bottom of the lake. Due to a downrigger cable snapping! Was definitely not a good day

I need a phone number for Harvey? Anyone got it?

Have a couple for sale.

what size are you looking for ?

I have 8’6”

What do you want for them?

8 ft medium…what do you have?

I broke one of my down rigger rods and am looking to replace it. Unfortunately can’t find any any where. Must not make them anymore. Like to keep them all the same. 

just trolling around for some rod and reel tips
 
looking for some of your top 3 downrigger / dipsy rods and reels.
Just getting into  the bigger boat sport always putted around in my 10' playing with the smallies. just bought me a retirement present a 17' tracker 70hp. will be putting my 9.9 merc on it as a kicker. hitting lake ontario for salmon, lakers, bows, then erie for the walleyes.
 
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

I just dug through my pictures from last year, and I have pictures of pike running April 1.  We also saw walleye in the side streams around that time too.

I can't for the life of my remember the order that they run.  I THINK it's walleye first, then pike, but it could very well be the other way around.

We went out at 330 
 
We have 2 ,matures so far 
 
Flashers 
 
Laying down flat 

Okay so another question. If I am using dispeys basically for the first time am I okay to go with a wire setup? What about braided or copper? What is the difference and what should I be using as a first timer?
 
What type of dispy plate brand do you recommend? Luhr Jensen? Does it matter which size plate?
 
Is there a chart I can use to know how far to set it out? So many variables, so many questions. This stuff is tough.
 
Thank you all again.

I have a head unit for the X4.  I 'had' lost it in my garage but found it a week after my new one came in.
 
I'm in Ontario.  Can ship via mail or UPS.  Let me know what you're willing to spend.
 
Regards,

Mitchels is still a weigh station.  

Still no docks
