  1. Interested where are you located
  2. Thanks salmonbound but I've already picked up the rod holders i need, just looking for planer boards now
  3. Picked up most of the stuff I've been looking for, still looking for a set of inline planner boards preferably with the tattle flags but not needed as i can add them later. If anyone has some boards they're looking toget rid of in the rochester area let me know
  4. Thanks for all the help guys, anyone's welcome to join me once the water opens up just shoot me a message.
  5. Could I get away running 30# powerpro braid as a dipsey rod? I don't have to worry about fleas or big kings on canadice/hemlock
  6. Does anyone have any luck trolling flasher,sd/flies on canadice and hemlock? Just got into trolling last year and have had great luck so far with spoons and minnow baits so far. I know they work great on bigger lakes/ontario, but don't hear much about the smaller lakes. What colors/styles typically produce? I don't plan on adding a wire/dipsey rod so I would be running it off a rigger or leadcore. Is ten# big game too light for running these rigs off a rigger? Thanks in advance, Zack
  7. Bought one last july and absolutely love it. I've put two hundred hours on the unit already between open water and ice fishing. No problem marking half ounce jigs in ninety plus ft of water while jigging lakers as well as tiny ice jigs in deep water as well. Gps is pretty spot on and the whole unit is extremely easy to use, pm me if you have any questions

    lakers

    C, I don't use tip ups, so it's jigs n plastic or cleos that produce for me.

    lakers

    got out this morning for a while hooked a few landed a few, too many lookers. no monsters, all fish went back to fight another day.
  10. Looking for 2 or 3 tube style rod holders. Tite lock, cannon, scotty, something that swivels and tilts and sturdy enough for dipseys and such. Also looking for 2 or 3 size 15-30 but not larger than that line counter reels. If anyone has some light or medium light general trolling rods that they want to sell I may be interested in those. As well Have to do local transaction as I can only pay with cash(college kid)in the canandaigua/rochester area
  11. They have much clearer water, secret weapon rigs are quite popular out there. [ Post made via Android ]
  12. Also, if you are looking to get into a downrigger rod for cheap, look into the basspro offshore angler powerplus downrigger rods. Slap on an okuma classic xt reel and you will be into a new, functional downrigger rod for less than 60$ [ Post made via Android ]
  13. If you're going to use braid, you might as well use 30lb. [ Post made via Android ]
  14. I have a savage model 93brj in 22mag for fox and I topped it with a nikon buckmasters 4.5-14x44 scope. Works well and can be had for under 300$
  15. Zack, What line do you use on the magda 20? Jack Jack, I spool them with 10lb big game mono and use about a rod lengths worth of 10lb floro for a leader. Works well for downrigging, flat lining and inline boards. Never broke off a fish this year( fish up to about 15lbs), long/lighter action rods and the stretch in the mono help absorb the shock [ Post made via Android ]
  16. I use the okuma magda 15s and 20s for walleye and trout on honeoye,canadice and hemlock. 7.5 and 8 ft medium lights. Work great for the combo price. [ Post made via Android ]
  17. First time for me ever ice fishing canadice and trying to jig lakers through the ice today. Went out about 150 yards from the boat launch in 86fow and punched some holes. Fished from 9-5 hooked up about a half dozen times, had tons of followers and lurkers on the bottom. Here's the biggest for me of the day and my first iced laker ever, pretty fun fight on a light action panfish rod
  18. on canadice I run 10lb seaguar floro leaders. Lakers 20 er so back everything else varies from 30-100 ish
  19. whats it like when you get a fish on the outside board? clear the inside 5 as fast as possible?
  20. https://www.walleyecentral.com/classifi ... ewer/20347
  21. yarcraft 209 or ranger 621 w/ a 300 yamaha, kicker, ipilot minnkota, big graphs etc. Something I could use to fish for everything with and be able to drag it around with a half ton or bigger suv.
  22. I bought the hbird 597ci hd this year and love it so far. I use if for picking out walleye that are glued to the bottom of honeoye in the summer as well as jigging lakers and trolling for trout as well. I have some pics of me using it for jigging on here and it does an awesome job picking up jigs/fish down 80+feet. You can pick up a navionics chip for 100$ and still be well under budget.

  23. Uhhhh [ Post made via Android ]
  24. dicks sells okuma leadcore setups fully rigged with 10 colors, braid backing everything you need for like 100$
  25. Bang for the buck, it's hard to beat the savages w/an accutrigger. Dicks has em for like 250 right now, I prefer ruger 77/22's but they aren't nearly as affordable as the savages
