i believe this is why we are seeing large tackle sales in the classified adds here on lou guys starting to unloading their stuff due to salmon getting less and less

As far as I'm concerned it isn't my/our job to be the morality police. If you caught it or shot it within the laws and regulations have at it.

well said

GO SU !

Not sure about lakers but a handful of boats including us at the north end out of Penn Yan all catching perch in good numbers. Saw a boat with trout gear going out as we were coming in. Not sure how they did.

must have been me and buddy his boat is a islander we went 4 for 4 lake trout mark lots of fish but tuff bite

when you say top line I think you talking about the main line . I use 50 lb braid to the first bead chain and same line between beads chains the last bead chain to the coastal snap swivel I use 30 lb mono for a brake away . I just got a spool of bulk wire thinking  about changing one rod to it to try it out  but did all three rods has  new braid last year . I been out on a another guys boat and his rods were lead core for main line mono between beads chains the blow back on the line were way to much for me

I have two 3.7 mercruisers they are know to have problems head gaskets cam seals stators for charging . If it was me I would run and not look back look for a 4.3 v6 5.0 v8 so on

I like the sound of wire being rip off the reel on a hard hitting king.

another gismo to play with . I got one from e bay for 2/3 of the price . tells how much blow back I got on the riggers tells where my dipsy  diver runs , lead cores run . and you can find the temp brake is if you don't have a  probe to use

sounds like stuck with the interference on chirp 83 khz and 200 khz works  just like my old x102 50/200 khz  . I do have the units on each side  of dash also . hope this helps any one wanting up date their sonar with a fish hawk . does going high tech really land more fish ?

This is correct. I have run Fish Hawk units for many years on many different boats. If we are talking transducer interference the only situation I have run into is the 'bird 83hz transom mount  transducer can interfere depending on placement. I have not had any issues with any 50/200 transducers whether thru hull or transom mount. There are some differences in transducer placement depending on whether the boat is an outboard, inboard, or I/O.

I put a lowrance  elite 5 chirp sonar in last fall . I got interference on the fish hawk when on chirp work fine on 200/83 side of transducer  how can I stop the interference while the sonar is on chirp  the transducers  are on opposite side of each other

307 fish has rebuild parts for walkers

I just got a lowrance  elite 5x chirp when on chrip my 840  fish hawk picks  the single up I have one transducer on side of transom and other on other side but iam still learning the new sonar

I would fish with wife this year team up with two friends . wife and I would stay at a hotel for a week now get a camp site for Saturday night 10 to 15 bucks . I making out big time not taking wife to dinner buying her beer keeping her in junk food for boat and me getting **** at 40 bucks iam in lol

I love to fish salmon and trout even its been a tuff year again . I will be out there so why not get in the derby you just never know . hell keep the prize money I take the bragging rights to say I won loc fall derby any time . 40 bucks is not going to make go me broke

fish from 6 to 1130 today got a little warm under hard top . set up in 90 fow . ran rigger down 70 took a look at fish hawk 71 degs drop to 90 ft 55 degs cut bait on that rigger. set spoon on other side down 100 ft . dipsys with spin docs and flys 350 and 300 ft out. started marking bait and fish 85 to 115 down trolled east from light house to the 5 stacks then back west covering 100 ft to 140 ft mark several bait pods and fish just no takers made changes spin docs and flys change cut bait rig put copper down the chute with spoon made turn to north hit a king on cut bait in 170 fow sonar went dead all the way to 300 fow made loop trolled back to 90 fow never move another rod. bait pods round 120 to 100 fow again not much fish seen tho. at cleaning station there were piles of browns and the one 22lb king I had I ck the stomach and it was empty and the eggs were small in size . loc derby starts soon. going to be a grind I think .

I only been on one charter . the weather was bad and the fishing was worse . the four of us paid for the charter and gave the mate 100 bucks  on way off the boat . that mate work his butt off in down pouring rain . that's been 20 years ago been fishing trout and salmon on our own ever cents

I run spin docs with pro trolls at same time they both work well I put spin doc on riggers and pro troll on the dipsy I have both divers mags and # 1s will say when letting out the mag diver let it out real slow or they like to turn around and wont release 300 ft out comes back to boat like pulling a tank not fun

left dock at 6 am set up in 125 flow probe rigger at 65 fish hawk read 47 for temp 2.2 for speed with wonder bread mag spoon hit a small king on that set up . around 170 flow next fish came on a dipsy rod out 240 0n 3 setting with spin doc chrome green dot with hammer fly landed a 22# king in 230 flow didn't mark much fish or bait fished out to 400 flow and back to 125 flow pick up at noon had very little fleas. at cleaning station some guys had 1 to 2fish tops cant find a bait shop open in the morning any more larry's or screwy louies could not get cut bait

Harvey I ran the two 12#  torpedo weights to day work very well thanks for the fast services and grate price . have fun in that nice looking corvette I enjoyed meeting you

so I been fishing the big lake ( Ontario ) with not much  luck for us. my buddy and I went to keuka lake this morning hit the water at 6 am ran to the south about 2 miles down from state park . set up with the seth greens the sonar was filled with marks top to bottom not a laker to be had same old luck round 9 am hit our first fish we were bucking into the wind so I could not come off the wheel no biggie my buddy is a pro with the seth green rod brings the fish to top grabs the net starts pulling the leader the fish was on. didn't the fish get into the kicker with a prop guard on it ( tail first ) stalled the kicker I jump on the I/o before the wind turned  us round he lifts up kicker 7 lb laker stuck in prop lol takes spoon out of jaws then the fish. yes we had sushi . he starts putting leaders back down, throws whole leader and spoon to the fish gods same old luck lol we pick up one more laker in doing so his hat blows off into the lake same old luck . that was it we quit went back to ramp talk to one other guy said had no luck .

I see in pic that it had a kicker plate on it . the I/o still has the easy steer link on it was this boat rig once for fishing and now have bunch of holes in her
