  1. I bought a TD 2 seasons ago and it does help getting you basic info, temps, and terminal depth. It will help you figure out blowback compared to your counter. Last season I got a X4D and am, of course, happy with it. But I wanted to let you know that I still use my TD. So it’s not money wasted. I send it down my dipsy wire before I crank them in so I can get general depth for wire out and take notes. I’ve also sent it down my copper. This winter I picked up riggers for my gunwales and with use the TD to figure out depth with wingers and blowback, so it still comes in handy. Lastly, there’s a member selling a TD in the classifieds.

    I believe you have my contact info already, and you are more than welcome on my boat. You and up to 2 of your friends are welcome to fish with me. I work every Sunday and Thursday, and I fish most Saturdays with a friend who has a bigger boat and usually needs a fishing partner. If you have a Friday, Monday or Tuesday off for a long weekend, let me know ahead of time and we can plan a fishing trip.

    I sent Jonathan a pm already... But, I spend a few weeks straight just outside Sackets. I could definitely get out with you on a week day, my boat or yours. I have your info too. I’ll let you know when I’ll be up when it gets closer.

  3. I have a walk around, smaller than the above mentioned, and I love it. Has an outboard which I prefer. It trolls well, good size fishing platform, has room for storage, potty for my wife and daughter, also access to the front of the boat (which my kids love) while out and about on the lake or anchored. If I were to upgrade, it’d be another walk around, with a hardtop with curtains and rocket launcher.

  4. I was out Saturday a.m. after a night of an enormous blow. I think it f-ed them up for at least the day. We had good screens, no takers. We were in the lake near the mouth of Chaumont.

  5. Amish outfitters 18".  I have 2. for an 18' boat with a 115.  I only use them for lakers.  I usually only need 1


    X2 on Amish Outfitters trolling bags. I have an 18’ trophy and use them. Pretty sure I have two of the 18”. They also help the boat to stabilize in chop, sometime I use them just for that.

    Been here twice so far and a few weeks away from my 3rd visit... beautiful cottage, quiet neighbor, close to multiple launches, has all the amenities you could want. 10 minute boat ride from some great walleye or salmon fishing, Chaumont Bay and Black River are right around the corner so if the wind picks up so you can still get out and fish. First time I went I had never fished the area before... Luke drew me a map and put me on my personal best walleye (My profile Picture) cant go wrong staying here!

     

    Thanks, Joe! I'll be there the weekend before you, will let you know what I see and here.

  7. I use a conglomerate of them. Standard weather like TWC and NOAA, but add in PredictWind which gives you direction and strength several days out. I like to compare all to come up with a decision.

    Sorry, just reread your post and none have wave height. I’m on the east end and tried a buoy app, but the closet one was Prince Edward Island.

  8. I started with a FishHawk TD. It is a snap shot device, you send it down and bring it back up to get temps. It’ll also give you maximum depth which is good for learning blowback and dipsy depth. I upgraded to a FishHawk 4xd mid season last year, which is a probe attached just above your rigger ball with continuous wireless data to the display. Temp, down speed, and actual running depth. Both devices are very helpful!
