  1. Are you twisting the line before putting it in the release? I usually do 8 twists before clipping it in. Also if you are letting it down too fast it can tangle sometimes when going really deep.
  2. Pretty sure they can't write you for having a wake but might be able to get you on imprudent speed or something. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  3. How about $2300? Any takers? Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app At this price you're buying the motor and getting the boat and trailer free. Again this boat is water ready.

  5. We did an addition on our house in 2017 we couldn't get a break with the rain. At one point the crawl space looked like a swimming pool. This year I don't think we have gotten as much rain but still a lot more than usual our backyard is a hill and last week was the driest it has been so I mowed the 1' tall yard. It still had standing water with almost 5 days no rain.
  6. Looks like your cottage is still high and dry along with the land around it which can't be said for a lot of places on the lake. I am out on the Peninsula and have one of the higher spots and she is creeping every so slightly closer to going over the bank. Good luck with your sale, beautiful place. Hopefully some day mine will be finished and all I will need to do is go fishing.
  7. Does this elite secret society have pins? OHhh maybe a cool sticker that I can add to my boat so it attracts fish to my lures like those stickers that add HP to racecars. I would like a pin though for my sailor hat, then I'll catch lots of fish no matter what boat I'm on and have access to all the other Captians info and catch rates with special colors. Sorry for the sarcasm but seriously you've been a member for 1 year and cussing guys out that have been fishing probably longer than you've been alive. I've been a member on here for a few years and you need to have thick skin, your way isn't the only way and if someone gives a recommendation/criticism take it in stride. No need to get butt hurt over someone that is trying to help even if it isn't something positive or you want to hear.
  8. That's pretty impressive. Seems the overcast days and cold rains isn't helping warm up the lake at all.
  9. They already have Biden and Sanders leading in the polls! hahahaha
  10. I would buy used before getting a 3.5" screen. I would highly recommend something a little bigger around 6" unless you are sitting right in front of it you won't be able to see much from 2' or 3' away
  11. Link to the signal. https://www.amazon.com/Weems-Plath-C-1001-Distress-Signal/dp/B0141VOX24/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2Z9N9MCZAPJK8&keywords=uscg+signal+light&qid=1560965460&s=gateway&sprefix=USCG+si%2Caps%2C131&sr=8-2
  12. They do that so you can't change the mixture and mess with the emissions output. Look on youtube they have a few videos that show how to get it off.
  13. Here are some pictures of the traditional sonar using my downvision transducer while trolling for walleye.This is suing the 60* cone angle with traditional sonar setting.
  14. Pretty sure that is the CHIRP freq I am running on my Raymarine. It is a 25*/60* CHIRP/CHIRP FF Sonar. I can switch between downvision and traditional sonar.
  15. Not sure what unit you have but you might be able to add a traditional sonar module for less than a new FF. I am thinking of doing it for my boat. I like a larger viewing angle when looking for perch or bass.
  16. I love this hull it is super stable and can handle the big water. It has a little smaller dead-rise than the newer hulls but you would never know it. You have to really try to get this hull to smack in a big chop, and the 23' in my opinion is the perfect trailering length. Short enough to pull with a small pickup but can handle the big water. Like I mentioned I fish the NE end of the lake and have limited time of nice weather so if it isn't 8'-10' waves I'm fishing.
  17. According to NADA the dry weight is 2300 Lbs. I would guess with the motor and boat you're looking at 3000 Lbs. add gear and fuel you would be be close to 3800-4000 Lbs. I've never taken it across the scales but my 1500 Silverado pulls it no problem.
  18. I also want to point out they started holding water back in the middle of 2018 Nov. my guess is for the energy demand come winter.
  19. Here is another one for all of you that want to claim "Climate Change". Explain to me how the graph shows Erie on a steady decline following past year trends but yet Ontario doesn't. Only reason I can think of is the IJC must be holding back water. As there isn't anything that can hold back water in Erie. If you follow the link it will show the trend in all the lakes except Ontario. They were holding water back in early April when they shouldn't have been and now look at the mess we all have. Now they can't keep up with what is flowing in. https://www.lre.usace.army.mil/Missions/Great-Lakes-Information/Great-Lakes-Water-Levels/Water-Level-Forecast/Monthly-Bulletin-of-Great-Lakes-Water-Levels/
  20. Fields in our area are already planted and have 4"-8" corn sprouts already. It isn't the rain screwing Lake Ontario shorelines. Someone show me the NOAA data (not that it is anymore accurate/skewed than others) where it shows there is 27" more rain than last year. https://www.lre.usace.army.mil/Missions/Great-Lakes-Information/Great-Lakes-Water-Levels/Water-Level-Forecast/Weekly-Great-Lakes-Water-Levels/
  21. Punch a screw driver through it and use that? I would just keep unscrewing it as it sounds like the housing is shot and will need to be replaced. I haven't ever seen a plastic one.
  22. look up west coast salmon boats. They are the elite aluminum. Kingfisher, Willie, HughsCraft, Smokercraft phantom, Crestliner commander, Thunder Jet. Any plate aluminum boat is the route I would go.
  23. With the new units you have to change the settings when fishing elements change. So when I'm fishing in shallower water 50 fow or less I have to turn down the gain and other settings where if I'm fishing deeper water I turn up the gain and make a few other changes. I also run split screen downvision and digital sonar. I like the digital sonar for the details but the downvision is nice with structure around.
