mudflat. I agree. trust me, I will not underestimate the conditions that is for sure and will be keeping a watchful eye and ear on the weather.

bobs_boy, your vessel must be able to take some pretty rough conditions I would imagine

can anyone tell me where a good place to launch is in the 1000 Islands?

do you have the line storage area in the front? Mine does but no idea how much it holds. I am not thinking about a power one, just one that would hold my anchor in a fixed position on the bow..I could then pop up through the hatch and just drop the anchor rather than carrying the anchor through the cuddy and out the hatch or rather than trying not to fall in the drink when walking the gunnels to the front!

So, would like to hear from some Islander or other cuddy owners on how they store/dispatch their bow anchor. Kind of a PITA. would like to get a perminent anchor mount for the bow. dont know what is out there that would work. Suggestions/ideas would be helpful

can someone provide the link to this wave forcast?

so you are running 5 colors and then backing with mono to attach the mono to the release right on the planers?

ok, I think I will run it off the boards. I have both direct and inline planers.

do you run the cores down the middle like you would a copper? Here is my situiation. I have to riggers and two DD setups. I also have a lead line rig that I would like to use. I could either put this on a board or run down the middle..thoughts? I guess if I were to run down the middle I would have to move it or remove it when there is a fish on?

I have heard mixed reviews of the flea flicker..why/how does it work?

just do a search on youtube. I have looked it up many times

I am not running snubbers and have never been out there yet. learning this as I go but from what I have learned, more reason not to run them

ok, thanks for the replys. Even though I haven't fished Ontario since the mid 80's when I was in my teens, I cant but try to do what I can to keep the fishery going better than in was back then. If Iwant to keep a fish for the table I will but I want to know what and how to release them back for another day if I decide that I don't want to keep them. ITs up to use to keep this fishery going.

yeah I hear yeah. I wont be using the electric DR's other than 2x a year on lake o. my lake is average 30 feet in depth. I use lead line here. the only thing that I know is that once those breakers that have the manual reset on them trip a few times they start to wear out and will start tripping easier each time. My electrician that I have been using at my business told me that, so I figured that having a handful of 30A fuses on hand basically eliminate that element in the equation. you basically start from scratch each time

this just uses 30A bus style fuses you use in your car etc. Yeah, I will have to add a loop connector on the end of it that will connect right to my new Deep Cycle batter. Each rigger has its own fuse and both will be connected to the deep cycle battery

I thought the eaters you slit their gills and throw them on ice

went down to my local Ace hardware and picked up two inline 30A bus fuse holders and a bunch of 30A fuses. should work out slick.

So I could use that one for both of my electric riggers? and does that basically mount on the positive terminal?
