30 fow should be good for smallmouth fishing

L and m marine 315-558-4178.hank is a great guy and does great work.

theres a chart/description in the tackle and techniques section that tells you everything you need to know.

Oswego harbor is now ice free,just the ramp is iced in,probably about 20’ past the end of the dock,all be gone next week

No solid ice in Mexico bay but there’s ice debris as far as you can see and there’s still 2’ of snow in parking lot

we were there checking out the launch couple days ago and also noticed them close to the surface,you will definitely catch them with your motor,to me it looked like your best bet would be to stay as far to the left as you can going out to the lake.

hodges marine has a lowrance hook reveal 7 chartplotter/fishfinder with transducer and inland charts for 240 bucks.

oswego has always been the weekend after fourth of july and sodus is the following weekend,so should be the 12th and 13th,this is not official.

absolutely nothing wrong with the digitroll 5,i have them on both my boats for many years now with hundreds of hours on them and never had one issue with them other then cables breaking on them when they were brand new.if anything,replace the cable just to be safe.also,the digitroll 5 should have an extendable booms.

i second everything that yankee stated.absoluetly no need for 1000w ducer,actually dont even need 600w for what we do,but a traditional sonar unit with an airmar 50/200 600w is all that is needed for trolling.i run a transom mount ducer and on high frequency never loose bottom and can clearly see bait running 30 mph.put it on low frequency for trolling and you will see everything you need to see under your boat,with proper tuning and correct ducer angle.i know you are looking to go with a single unit,but like rick said,i put a variable chirp 100-140khz with only 300w ducer unit on my boat last year and i am extremely happy with the detail it shows between fish and bait.so between the traditional 50/200 and the chirp 100-140,i feel like its the best setup for trolling.

if you are talking about tackle haven in benton harbor michigan,then yes,i have placed many orders through them and have been in the store after taking a charter out there.great tackle shop and great place to order from.never had a problem,even having them ship me dozens of white diamond trolling rods.
