  1. Just bought a boat that has older Mag 10a riggers.  One runs fine the other stops every 10 feet or so like the motor goes out.  Wait a few minutes it pulls up some more. Wire to the battery is good.  Switch is good and the thermal is not tripping.  Do you think the issue is the motor itself.  Running 10# weight. Thanks.

     my first year on LOU and on the lake I started with ONLY downriggers my first year. Primarily  for the reason I wanted to learn the ins and outs and not get overwhelmed with dipseys,copper,leadcore,planer boards, etc. Also $$$$$$. Just bought a boat and had to buy gear to get started. 
        If I could repeat my first year 100% I would have put at least 2 dipsey setups in the mix.  
        I bought new 4pk Okuma magda 45’s combo on ebay for riggers cheap.  spooled with 40lb big game (went thick for fleas in summer) and changed leaders pending species I’m fishing. Fish walleye with them on my local lake. Fish browns in spring. Kings in the summer.  They worked for all. Yes, maybe I’d catch more If I had rods dedicated to each species but its what I could afford. 4 years later I still use them. 
         

    I’m in the same position.  When you leader down the heavy line do you put say 200 feet of 12 pound in it if you were to be targeting browns or walleye or a shorter leader? 

  3. This will be my first season trolling on the Lake.  Mostly will be fishing Henderson area.   I was wondering if I could get by using the same rods and reels for Browns, Lakers, and Walleye if I was to get the right setup.  I have just started to gather equipment up.  I Plan on having down riggers, planers, and possibly dipsy divers depending on the amount I learn and pace that I learn.  So far I have ordered Okuma Coldwaters in size 30.  Any suggestions would be helpful thanks.

    I am the second owner of this boat.   I just do not have enough time to use this boat the way I planned on.   I put all the trolling equipment on the boat when I bought it.   Most of the gear on this boat has only been used about 5 times so its just like new.   it has a lot of storage boxes molded into the floor. It also has a wash down pump and 30 gallon bait/live well under the two captain chairs.  I am looking for $12,000.  PM me if you are interested or would like more info.
