yes I believe it does need a coated cable. I dont have any of the above mentioned and most likely wont for awhile. This was my first year on the bigwater. I will probably get a simple thermometer that I can lower down on the rigger ball before I start trolling to check the temps at whatever depth the ball gets too. forget what those are called.
I agree you do not need a 40 class reel to run 1000feet of steel. I have the Okuma convector 30 class reels for my dips eh rods. 1 I run mono and the other wire. The wire easily holds 1000 feet with some30lb big game backing and fluorocarbon leader
It is a good idea in my opinion. I have seen too many easily avoidable accidents by watercraft operators it is scary. I hope the course also includes proper trailering and launching!
By the time deer season is winding up I am ready for it to b over.,I can't seem to get myself to do anything else other than hunt during the season. Then everything builds up and I have a ton of things to do. My next season is ice fishing and at the same time getting everything ready in my sugar house and sugarbush for the upcoming maple season!
I wish that I could afford the hrs unit but that isn't in the cards. I primarily fish on my home lake the great sacandaga. I only get out to lake o twice a year. But I guess we will see
yes. I have never lost a deer yet with the combination. and there have been dozens. I will say I shoot the hollow points because I believe that the deer that I have shot in general compared to the aerotips that I have used in the past did not go as far. But, 295gr also packs a wallop
THANKS. For me it seems to be ideal. Is there a big difference between the broadband unit and the HDI other than the inability to do down and side imaging
I really had my heart set on the Lowrance Elite 7 Broadband. I dont need the HDI crap. I know two others that have the Elite 7 and have had 0 issues with them. I navigated one in Bass Pro the other day and really liked how it operated. Of course it was in Demo mode. I cant really figure out what basemap comes with the unit and what upgraded basemaps are available though. Anyone? Attached is a pic of my Current FF..An OLD Eagle Ultra II Plus...
I got the Bloody Deather SD for an early Christmas present and Dan Keatings book Keatings on Kings! yeah baby..Now to figure out what fly/flies work well wit hteh Bloody Death and am, mid day or pm?
I have only ever shot one coyote and that was on my property 2 seasons ago. I was still hunting in a hemlock patch that was undulating terrain. Was pretty quiet walking. I was looking for bedded deer. Suddenly, walking along, I noticed something curled up at the base of a big hemlock tree. And whe nI say I noticed, it scared the **** out of me cause I was less than 20' from it. the damn dog was sound asleep. I thought it was dead till I noticed that its chest was moving. I literally three a few sticks near it and it never moved. Its ears didnt even raise. Then I leaned against a tree, cocked my Marlin .35 back and let out a whistle. nothing. then a louder whistle..head comes up, bang...shot him right behind the ear at 20 feet...
