late deer season i had big flocks of robins bouncing around the grass at my place . i was siting in my tree stand and had them all around me in the trees ,. i never recall any thing like that all my years of hunting deer . was talking to buddy about it and he said some time the robin is late to leave . any ways i am ready for spring .

Best fish finder with gps $500 or less?
fisherdude replied to sstout's topic in Tackle and Techniques
i have lowrance, the elite 5 chirp and elite 5 hdi both work very well had no problems . the lowrance hook was new last year , have seen post on L O U that the hooks have problems with them and the customer service is poor to none . my buddy up graded to the garmin echomap 73 sv and its better than the lowrance any day but he spent more than 500 $ on it -

i also like the walkers for deep trolling , ( no rings and easy adjustable ). the chinooks are ok but a little of pain to set up , don't like taking off the front weight to adjust and they have sharp edges . ( deburring edges needed ) . last season i used the u charters lite bite slide divers . can get kits to make them regs or mags divers . i ran them on wire with 75 to 100 feet of braid splice in , like the stealth presentation , when running spoons i add 10 foot of fluorocarbon line to the braid .

i think i remember some years ago when the dec wouldn't do any thing about those fish eating nasty birds the charter caps out of henderson made a run at night and did a number on them while nesting up for the night . my hat went to them , but i think the feds got involved

if you don't find a used transducer you can buy new . the x4 transducer works with the 840 -
went to deans cove . Launched boat around 6:30 and motored out to 75 fow set up on north troll with a strong S S/E wind . started picking up fish right away . By 9:00 we had 15 fish over the rail . We move out 170 fow on south troll . We had to go to the i/o and shut down the kicker with 4 foot waves, picked up 2 lakers and 4 more land locks . After a 2 hour troll south turn and trolled north back to ramp work 100 to 160 fow with the lake laying down to a foot wave . we picked fish up all the way back . our speed by GPS was 1.8 to 2.8 . we used rig rods with sutton spoons top leader down 20 the other down 30 feet. Did a mess of fish today only the 2 lakers and 2 LL with any size . marked a lot of big fish on bait pods but didn't want to bite . Released all fish to day . With deer season here deans had only 3 other trailers in the parking lot at 12:30 when we left .

I have an idea to build a speed and temp probe
fisherdude replied to bruceleogould's topic in Open Lake Discussion
i tend to agree with Bozeman Bod . sounds like a mess . i would spend my time washing lures and changing speeds letting the fish tell me what they want . -
fishing the FL you diffenty put your sole in trying to fix your older boat from the trim ,lower unit to the motor. i think its time to move on . nick has that pro line add your kicker and gear and your be in a much better shape . just my two cents, if you keep fixing your old boat i wish you best of luck . hope to meet you at cayuga some time
