i took a okuma 30 reel and put 40 lb big game mono on it around 50 ft or so and then filled the reel with AFW 30 lb wire . so do you guys think that is ok ? the line counter should work right , i think ?? i have a 5000ft spool of wire that is why i did it that way .

83 / 200 or 50 / 200 will not cause interference with the fish hawk . what does interfere with the fish hawk is when a sonar is on chirp . when i am using my fish hawk i just use the 83 / 200 hz . when i use seth green rigs i use chirp and have the fish hawk off the sub troll can be use with any of above. using 83 hz or with the chirp i can track my seth green weights right to the bottom i only lose the wights when my speed is fast enough to take them out of the cone range .

deans cove , took my neighbor fishing this morning . newbie to trolling also a little afraid of being on the lake . we got to deans at 5:30 got launch and starting setting up in 70 fow . i got out my rig rods out , he looks at me and said what are we fishing for with those rods . i had a big smile . so i showed him how things go, we were in the fish right away .i help with the first fish doing leaders . after we finish with the first one i said its all you now . fishing was hot non stop for the first 3 hours . he did pretty good only threw 1 leader to the fish gods , not bad for a newbie . we called it a day around noon , the heat was kicking in time to go . he had me save a few lakers and a few silvers witch i clean them for him to take home . i had lots of fun watching him fumble with the rods and the fish and spending time chatting . i think he got the itch to go again , i am looking forward to it .

4000.00 $ ??? wow grate price for a lund ,nice pics this boat will sell fast .

x 2 on big jon holders , have 4 of them

yeah best fishing report i seen this year

way to go guys

deans cove , wife and I hit the lake around 5:30 am set in 90 fow in front of deans . was using seth green rods and michigan stinger spoons in alewife . green jeans , pink tuxedo easter egg to name a few . we zig sag from 90 to 250 fow working south to sheldrake pt and then back to deans cove and called it a day at 11:30 . silvers and lakers were active all morning long . we keep three silvers for dinner . i seen hook jaw charters boat that is for sale at the launch very nice ride . if i only could hit the lottery lol .

you can try a thumper rod down the shute , take a 3 way swivel 1bl weight with a dodger and lure . watch the tip of rod when it starts thumping your speed will be in the ball park .

stick with olcott ideal way better fishing . two riggers and two dipsys will work just fine . run your spoons off the riggers and spin doctors and flies off dipsys . stop at one off the bait shops by the launch they will get a good starting point .

no was green and the frame was all broken up , dumpster food

we fished out a patio umbrella wide open just under the water . told my buddy we just saved some ones lower unit

we fished from deans cove today (sunday) was silver action and a few lakers . most of silvers were shorts but did put a few in cooler for dinner . we used michigan stinger spoons in uv pink , blue and orange down 40 and 50 feet over 120 to 150 ft . fished east side and west . the east side seem to be the best for us

being a weekend warrior you fish when you can long as you can stay safe. that being said a buddy of mine and i show at the ramp water braking over the harbor wall . i said to friend forget it way to rough , come on he goes , ok you be sorry . we made it out beating boat and us set up 15 mins later i look at friend , you dont look so good . i think you know the rest of the story

i would think the hub is worn out lest on the out side edge or bearing buddy worn if not holding in place

you must have fix your moe .what was the problem ?

mercruiser 25 w 40 is recommend by factory i ask barretts marine what oil i should use in an old 3.7 lx i was told to run rotella 15w 40 . i dont have oil pressure problems tho . i would check with a marine mechanic that you trust .
