    I have an older Cannon Mag10A with a LCD display that has been disconnected from the inside of the housing. I bought it used like this and am wondering if this can be replaced? The toggle switch functions fine raising and lowering the ball but would like to get it back in full working condition if possible.

    Gotta love it, you never know when it’s going to happen but glad it finally did for you. Can’t wait to get up there myself. My lost landlock from last weekend on Owasco keeps calling me but if I can get up on the big lake soon it would be great.

    Also with your 90hp you shouldn’t need trolling bags. My boat is a 17.6’ with a 115 merc 2 stroke and it trolls down to 2.0-2.1 at the slowest which isn’t always great for walleyes but just fine for Lake O.

    I can’t recommend bearing buddies enough. After having a bearing blow on the road a few years ago I top them off every spring and again late summer. Depending on your graph draw you may want to run a separate battery for your riggers. If you were able to run it all day before on one battery you should be fine but with my Hummingbird Helix it pushes my battery to the limit after 6 hours even if I troll with my main motor for a while to give it charge. I run 3 batteries with 1 just for my electric trolling motor. That’s my 2cents anyway.

    I used to use my paddle back in the day 😉 but I’m hoping to start out in deeper water to get my wife on some steel or maybe a fresh salmon. We’ll slide in tighter if it doesn’t go as hoped.

    It must be hard to measure accurately without laying it all out and reeling it in since the rpm’s increase as the wire comes off the spool.

    What vhf channel are guys on while out there?
  8. greenhornet73
    Awesome, definitely worth the trip. Never seem to know what the water will look like until you’re on it. Got all my rods and gear organized and ready to roll as soon as my wife wants to get out there.

    I was thinking about that too and just running it much further back than the cheater above it. The f/f could be run on one or both of my outside dipseys

    Interesting concept, I like it. I have also seen guys run rotators off the ball ahead of the leader as well. I guess I was hoping to have an extra lure in the water but if a salmon is excited enough to come to a flasher, a close running spoon will hopefully seal the deal. Thanks for the input

    Thanks sk8man, I figured it wouldn’t be a good idea but trying to figure out a way to run a flasher tight and run a spoon further back I the general vicinity to temp a disengaged fish. I run dipseys off each side with the one downrigger deep
  12. greenhornet73
    I have a similar question regarding this. I only have one downrigger for now and would like to run a f/f deep as an attractor and stack a spoon directly above it. If I run the f/f say 20’ back and a stacked rod with a spoon 10’ above it and 40’ back am I asking for trouble if that f/f gets hit since it has a shorter lead? I used to run this pattern in my other boat but with 2 downriggers and did well.

    Did the coppers only fire in the afternoon?
  14. greenhornet73
    Those shallow stagers are tough. Id go deep if you can get out there.

    Well done! 15 years married this September and I take my wife out for salmon once a year and still haven’t figured it out. Maybe this year I’ll get her hooked into a king for the first time.
  16. greenhornet73
    I agree
  17. greenhornet73
    Yep that definitely is the case. The area has gotten slightly bigger since I got the boat last summer.

    Nice, I fish solo most of the time as well and it definitely has its challenges. Great report thanks. I have fished FH a few times but never past 150’. How far out is 400+ ?
  19. greenhornet73
    Awesome, I just got back from striper fishing and got it done aboard my old faithful haha. Hopefully going out for salmon in the next couple of weeks.
  20. greenhornet73
    Nice rig Clark, trailer looks great too! I hope you get it broken in quick, your little boat served you well for years.
  21. greenhornet73
    Great job, thanks for the report. Still waiting to get out there with my wife hopefully soon

    Thanks Brian, I will look them up and see what they say. Orangediablo, I have looked into the injection floor system and considered it a temporary bandaid but you raise a good point that if it doesn’t work in a few more years the worst thing that could happen is that I have to replace the floor as I was already considering in the first place. How much did the material cost you to fix that small area? I just don’t want to lose the boat for the rest of the season or have it done over the winter and not be able to shrink wrap it for the rest of the winter.

    I have a small 12” soft area on the back deck of my Sea Ray and am looking for someone who does this kind of work. I love the boat too much to look for something else but realize this may be a costly project. Would like to get an idea of what this repair would look like. If anyone has a person I could contact I’d appreciate it.

    Thank you but I stopped at a tackle shop in Plymouth and tested a Daiwa BG and liked the feel so much I bought it. Put it to the test on a tank striper the next morning and it passed the test. I think a 7000 size is as big as I would go for what I target but that 8000 you have would work for shark fishing from the beach which I haven’t done in years.

    Well done, congrats! Wow fish are already starting to get darker.
