    Please explain sushi style, I was always told that freshwater fish may not be consumed raw

    that was the only dock down there on sunday
  3. zackblain
    yes

    Will try seperating wires and look into resistor plugs. Can anyone explain how to ground a motor?
  5. zackblain
    It was included, will check to see about the wires, I think they were pretty bundled up together so that might be part of the problem. I think the angle is okay though because it matched the backup unit on the boat when we ran that one as well. Will get some pictures up so hopefully we can get this figured out, Thanks!

    well sunday we got out in ruger1nut's 19' islander for the first time that he just bought on here from another member. Everything ran smooth except that we experienced terrible interference while running the 15hp honda 4stroke kicker motor, on the lowrance hds5 gen2. When trolling with the i/o we had a perfect screen with no noise/interference whatsoever. The kicker is mounted on the port?(left side if you were looking from the rear) and the transducer is on the same side as well. As soon as we turned the kicker on the screen went nuts and marking fish/bait was next to impossible. With the i/o, it was crystal clear? Any ideas on how to remedy this situation?

    where are you located?
  8. zackblain
    backtrolling is more of a walleye technique used to present live bait at very slow speeds(<1mph.)
  9. zackblain
    What are the dimensions on the base?
  10. zackblain
    That's when you break out the cleos or plastics and start jiggin/casting!

    I will definitely be splicing in some 30# big game if I do go back out on canandaigua, and you are right, that stuff is a completely different animal than the 10# I use on canadice
  12. zackblain
    sorry, didn't make it near the condos either. Most of the marks/bait I saw were closer to the south end, if the wind wasn't so bad today I would have stayed down there and worked a smaller area but my little 16'/9.9 horse gets blown around quite a bit
  13. zackblain
    yeah we were over 160 or so, that 60# was the hottest thing we had going today, also wish I had spooled up some heavier line on my rigger rod.

    launched out of woodville around 6 with ruger1nut, set up off the drop off and sent out a 100' copper on a walleye board, 300' 30# copper, 300' 60# copper, and a size 0 dipsey on 30# powerpro super slick, and 1 downrigger parked at 55'. First hit was on the rigger with an orange dreamweaver super slim, off after about ten seconds or so. Next hit was a nice 5# bow that hit a stinger dirty white boy on the 300' 60# copper. A few more rips on the copper and fish lost behind the boat and that was about it for the day. Fleas rendered the downrigger useless as I only had 10# big game. Rode the waves up to vine valley and turned back south, not a single hit heading into the wind and I had a tough time holding a decent speed going into the wind.

    Eye?
  16. zackblain
    Thanks for the info blueghost

    Can anyone tell me if the fleas have been an issue lately? Looking to get out sometime this weekend. Not equipped with flea flicker or wire divers so please don't suggest those, thanks in advance.

    jigging rod

    zackblain replied to mhtrapper's topic in Walleye

    I use a 7' medium fast basspro carbonlite baitcaster. One piece, with a carbonlite reel as well. Spooled with 15# powerpro in moss green, 3' 10# seaguar floro leader connected with a small barrel swivel and a snap on the end. This works for anything 3/8 up to an ounce. Also use a 1 piece 7' st croix medium lite extra fast wearing a shimano sahara spooled with 10# powerpro terminated the same way for fishing anything 1/2oz or less.
  19. zackblain
    I run a rods-length leader of flouro. 10-20lbs depending on the intended species

    I'd try dropping a jig, that could be a lot of fun

    sold please delete
  23. zackblain
    For me its, spinners with #4 colorado or willow blades, colors depend on the day and location but gold/bring colors usually do a good job. Spring/fall I like reef runners in all sizes, Pink lemonade is my go-to color. Deep taildancers work well as do JDDHJ's in purpledescent and clown

    price drop 1050$, this boat will easily fit in the bed of a small(ranger,s10) sized pickup and will do 25mph on the water with a 240lb guy in it.
