I have used Chamberlin releases both the stackers and the standard releases for years. There are pros and cons to them. The biggest con for the stacker is you have to hold it on the cable while you lower your first rod. Wich at times can be cumbersome. The release button on the side can stick and can lead to having the release either fail or getting it ripped out of your hand. The other con I have found is the cable guides are made of plastic and the down rigger cable over time will cut groves in to them making the release unusable or at least unreliable. I also now have found that the last cable change I did on my downriggers the stacker don't slide on the cable like they are supposed to making them unusable. 2 different brand new releases with the same issue. The pros of them are they have a ton of adjustment and when they are working correctly are great. The auto release function when they reach the down rigger is nice especially for riggers with auto stop. I find it easy to miss light bites on occasion with both the standard and the stacker clips. My preference for stacker clips is Scottys with the trot line clip that attaches to the downrigger cable. Only down fall of them is you have to remember to remove the clip when bringing up your downrigger or it will get stuck in the cable guide on the down rigger boom or get ripped off and thrown in the lake. In my opinion if you don't have supper fast downriggers go with the Scott's stacker style it is way more basic and user friendly

Just added newer kicker with electric start and my probe doesn’t work now when I run the kicker. I’ve checked all the wiring for continuity. Wondering if issue is caused by kicker since it uses stator & regulator in lieu of an alternator? Can I use a ferrite ring to eliminate issue?

Hit the water for quick 2 hour trip. Went 18 for 20 with (4) doubles and (1) triple. Bay Rat Goby & BT Candy took bulk of the fish east of power plant in 9 - 15 fow. Only took one picture whole trip due to fast action

I owned a 2003 1720CC with 70 hp 4s. Fit & finish on it was very good, and it handled rough water nicely. Key West hulls are a no wood no rot design like Scout Boats.
I sold the boat because I wanted to move up to a 20’ walk-around; otherwise I’d still own it today.

While we haven't yet seen those issues in Lake Ontario I'm afraid they are lurking close by. Thinking we need to look at positive economics + positive it generates for us as fisherman promoting sport by having salmon as key component of our daily catch. I am not a charter captain so the only skin I have in the game is enjoying time on water with family & friends.
Relative to the economic impact I see having salmon as a positive driver. Western NY isn't loaded with strong job market like NC, VA and GA. We need all the positive economic impacts salmon fishing generates in our short boating season. Those hard earned $$s flow into all the small/family businesses along the lake. Why make it tougher? Doing nothing meets definition of insanity... Time to go my turn to steer boat.
