    Baha

    in This Old Boat

    Posted

    I'm out of the water for the season and not the best picture but maybe you can see, this is on 23' Baha. 4 riggers across the back, Berts Ratcheting and 3 360 degree adjustable each side. post-151507-14427661993941_thumb.jpg

    Justtracytrolling is right. Back in the late 80's and early 90's fishing was great and at a peak then slowly fell off only to come back up again 5 years ago and now is falling off again. People are spoiled when fishing is great and expect it every trip. Enjoy the lake and the experience it will be back up again.

    My sub troll issue

    in This Old Boat

    Posted

    Up until this weekend mine was working fine and then became intermittent with being off/on while trolling. I too thought battery and replaced in probe with no difference. The next day probe wasn't hooked up and temp showed up twice on unit. I have pulled my boat for the year due to other issues but I'm looking at ground first. I'll be watching post to see if that helps you. Good luck

    Curing Salmon Eggs

    in Tackle and Techniques

    You can order cures on line or use one of the many home recipes you can also find online. I myself use Procure which I get at Gander. It's just loose crystal form that mixes in with the eggs and then you can leave in refrigerator or freeze for later. I've thawed, frozen and repeated many times and not a problem. Some say they don't like this cure but the Steelhead don't seem to care much. Good luck.

    Sub troll 900

    If you go on their site there is an illustration on setting it up. Make sure you have the coated cable running thru the antenna which is secured to the rigger boom. Attach the probe to your rigger cable and the short wire cable (should have come with the unit) attaches to the probe and then your weight attaches to the short cable. Make sure your unit has power, drop the weight and start fishing.

    motor size

    I would go with a kicker for 2 reasons. One it is better on fuel. I have a 10 hp on a 23' boat and troll all day using minimal fuel. The second reason is it gives you a second motor, it maybe slow but it will get you in if the main engine has problems. Just my opinion.

    I just installed a GoPro mount to my hard top between the pole holders but have not had a chance to use it yet but hopefully in another week. My buddy has one mounted similar but underneath to the radio cabinet and it works great.

    "Must have" lures for beginners

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    For what it's worth I say spoons will produce anytime but I would run them up until about this time and then move towards flasher/fly or spin doctor/fly combos as the kings start to move in and stage. I will run a combo of each though at time at different depths. As far as colors myself I've always liked greens, chartreuse, blues and oranges with orange earlier and green later. Good luck.
