  1. I also ran out to 725' out of Hughes on Sunday. We went 2/4 (one SCREAMER on the wire and after three runs, it just kept running as the leader broke off, and the other one we did not land was a small steelie but it gave us quite the acrobatic show before throwing the hook), the one we kept was an 11lb salmon and the last one was put back to grow bigger. We had lines in at 6:15 and lines up at 10:15.
  2. I am going to have to give them a call. $750 for something that works great for seven trips out and after that it works 50/50 at best. Changed batteries, checked connections, changed the gain and nothing helped. Usually works for the first hour our so now then it gives a blank screen, a absolutely incorrect screen (300' reading in 150' of water)., and occasionally a correct screen (mixed in with one correct number on the screen and two incorrect numbers). Brand new this year! I hope I do not have to waste time on the water to try to fix it. Anyone know the best number to contact Trevor? I hope it is an easy fix. Thanks for the positive posts above, at least it makes me feel pretty hopeful.
  3. Frogger and Sk8man, Without you two helping me boat wise and fishing knowledge wise, the learning curve would have taken a lot longer. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. THANK YOU.
  4. Lines in at 6:15 and done at 2:15. Went 11 for 12. Four keeper steelheads (three before noon) and a nice salmon ended the day. One salmon wrapped around the downrigger cable after a 15 minute fight and there went the line. The rest were too small (3 steelhead and 3 kings). We went out to 250" and had lines from 25" to 90' (riggers and wire) only one on the leadcore. Early it was green and sliver then we changed to blues. We did not expect it to lay down as it did and then the sun baked us. Black flies were biting but the sea fleas were not that bad but present..
  5. I bought mine from Fishy (knowledgeable and easy to deal with).
  6. I went with the GO9 XSE Active Imaging 3 in 1. Thank you to everyone for your input (especially wallyandre).
  7. Thanks again. I am looking into my options today.
  8. Thanks for the replies (I value and appreciate the input). I just don't know which HDS gen3 and up models are worth looking into other than the HDS Live 9 that would work. Yes, the controlking for the kicker is going on.
  9. I purchased a Lowrance Outboard Pilot Hydraulic Pack hoping it would work with my current Lowrance unit...it does NOT. I am not too concerned since I was thinking of doing an upgrade anyway. The question I have is, what should I upgrade to? I was considering the Lowrance HDS-9 LIVE with Transducer but I am not sold on its performance reviews. Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
  10. Cuomo sure is getting a lot of free TV time running for President. Joe Biden is beginning to sweat with 15 states delaying the primaries and the possibility of a push for Cuomo. Sorry to go off topic.
  11. PM sent (if C3M doesn't get them, I will buy them).
  12. Thank you Inthebox! I did not remember the glow ladder under the green and had a feeling I was missing something. I knew someone would remember.
  13. Eagle claw 2/0 (2X) or VMC 1/0 (same gap but vmc are a little shorter than Eagle Claw) for mags. Eagle claw 1/0 or VMC 1 for standard size. VMC 2 for Dreamweaver superslim
  14. I remember the spoon being silver and black on the front. What I have forgotten is, was is a green ladderback sticker that was added? Thanks!
  15. Sell the picture? You asked for a picture of the spoon, not if I had any of the spoons? LOL
  16. Here is a picture of two of them. They are glow spoons.
  17. If three hooks, I take the front off (but leave the split ring, I go one size up in the middle, and the back one stays the same size. If two hooks, I go up one size in the front and stay the same on the back.
  18. DANG! I forgot about Ronnie James Dio...add - Holy Diver
