I think a lot of Robins never left. I've been seeing them all winter long. We're going to get nailed probably sooner or later.

Muzzy 100's, 300grn arrow launched by a PSE bow at 292ft/sec  90+% pass throughs. Even blasted through both shoulders at 35 yrds, not a pass through but through. SPEED kills. 

I have never turned in trailer plates . You don't need ins. for a trailer, so I don't think you necessarily have to turn in the plates. IMO 

If I get out again, will swap probes first and bring new batteries also. Thanks for the ideas. 

I misread, I thought it was x17. Not the right one. thanks anyways.

Where are you located? I just destroyed my original one same size I believe. Thank you low water at sandy creek.

Hey guys and gals, I started running dual sub trolls recently and for some reason the port sub troll temp is mimicking the starboard  temp. I raise the starboard rigger up or down , as temp changes so does the port temp matching pretty much exactly. How can this be when the signal goes up through the cable and they are completely separated up to the power source box. Any ideas or past experience?

I hear the lake flipped, what would be the best strategy for finding mid ten salmon for winter freezer stockpile? I'm thinking out deep where the temps may be more stable. What's your opinions guys based on experience. Thanks in advance for the help.

I remove my probe when fishing lakers after I check temp. lost a set up on hemlock once, never again.

A lot of posts have pointed to carb and or pump. I'm dropping the carb off today for rebuild and replacing the pump which could possibly be the original over 21 yrs old. Last things it could be short of being an electronic issue. Thanks for all the input , hopefully we're done here!!! 

I want to replace the fuel pump also but don't want a mercury one if the internal coating is a problem according to Bruce's post. Any recommendations for a replacement aftermarket pump?

SamonSez, thanks for that info, I will definitely give him a call, can't go wrong with his experience!

Bruce did you have to take apart the carb and clean out the ports etc.

Dusty it has an electronic ignition, some kind of digital type only used for a couple yrs. With a control module also. Bozeman, thanks for the info, might get another carb , get back on the water quicker. 

If you have a few people on the boat, as you wind in your line, have someone with a smooth metal rod of some type rub the top of the line as the fleas come to the rod and they fall right off pretty much with just a couple few swipes. Works good for me on all types of line.

Found the fluxgate, it appears I would have to remove  my steering column to open the unit to unplug it from the motherboard. Not willing to do so. Don't want to screw anything up. Sorry.

Really what ?? Seems a bit unusual that a individual would have that much stuff. I just read some of the scam thread and I guess I was being a little suspicious.  I apologize to Patricia if this is legitimate. 

Really?

I will try to locate it in my boat, never noticed it anywhere though. My unit keeps blowing a fuse, was told it needs a new motherboard. I can live without it. Too much hassle to remove .

Don't forget that the depth on the rigger gauge is not real depth when trolling. Angle of the cable makes a significant change in depth. True or very close depth is : cable out x cosign of estimated angle. There are charts available, google it, or do the math and make your own.

20 miles by car .

I have traded lead for made weights with Troutman, you need to make it somewhat worth his while but if you can't find molds, give him a call and maybe work something out. He lives in Watkins Glenn though, I have a place on Keuka so it wasn't a big deal for me to meet him on 14A.

state park to Hammondsport by boat is about 14 or so miles, give or take. There is a launch at Jakes boat livery in Urbana  according to a map. Don't know if they are for the public though, give them a call

Your depth will be off and if you fish marks later, the distance to marks will be off.
