    If you have a FFinder that shows your weights on the screen , there is no need for a depth counter . The screen doesn't lie , and it's more accurate than your counter with or without blowback. Actually, the FF do lie. The angle that a transducer reads in feet is the same amount of cable that is out on the downrigger. What the FF can’t pick up is the actual depth of the ball due to blow back. It can only display what you think is the depth of the ball but is not accurate. You can perform this test by getting a fish hawk 4xd or a sub troll. So for example, FF shows my ball at 100ft, counter on DW says 100 ft. Fish hawk says I’m really at 90 ft. For what it’s worth.

    I’m not sure why your not getting advice from the captains your mating for? Sounds like you already are in? Not looking for advice or opinions on whether you should or not correct? I guess my two cents, I’m not a captain, but for what it’s worth seek out people you know that are in the business. They can really give you the ground work on what they did to get them there. You’ll have to decide if it’s a 1) just like seeing smiles on faces and breaking even ( must have another source of income or finances ) because you’ll go broke one day or 2) looking to be profitable. If it’s the latter, treat it as no different than starting in like a business. Keep in mind hr for hr there’s a handful of captains that can make a living on it with out having the other source of income. Boy my heart goes out to these captains that literally break there back day in day out. Not saying you can’t but you probably already heard this tune. Good luck to your endeavors what ever you end up doing. I wouldn’t be upset about not hearing from any. Busy season as you know. This would be a great winter topic for them. There are many that will respond sooner or later.

    The days I remember with my brother and I running two lines with a wooden electrical reel pulling in fish and laying it on the floor. When we had two fish in the boat the look on our faces……..

    For what it’s worth, was running big game 30lb and fleas were building a lot this past week. Put the Blood Run See Flea 30lb on and was impressed!

    I think for me Gator I was unsure if I could trust them with having the probe and weight attached to them as it was new deal 8-10 yrs ago. I should probably replace them lol.

    Your going to want that snubber as mentioned if you have cannons like the 5ST just because of the snap when they quickly stop at the surface.

    Java, I had wired an led light in the corner of my boat under the gunnel. Used it a lot when input it in. Then I learned a uv light is 10x the power to light up my spoons. I keep three in the back of the boat. There cheap.

    What do you have on the battery at idle state with nothing on? Then what do you have on the battery with only the kicker running? (12.5v?). The difference should tell you if your kicker is putting a charge on.

    Read an article from a Virginia lake where shad die offs are common. https://www.fauquier.com/news/nothing-s-fishy-gizzard-shad-die-off-at-lake-brittle-is-a-common-natural-occurrence/article_b92b5766-8e5e-11ec-90bc-4b677812e442.html#:~:text=While unsightly%2C dead gizzard shad,Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources.

    I’m guessing 10yrs-11yrs. It’s been a long time from the fisheries work, I do remember they have a different lifespan than the lakers. Truly an oldie.
