    Looks like it’s going to be stream trout for me

    And stay away from break walls, you can get blown right into them and it is tough to paddle away from them

    So I lugged the 60 lb battery down to the basement and crossed my fingers as I tightened the terminals down and all the lights came on! Thank you so much guys for working this out for me. Now if you could all just pray for some warmer days we will all benefit from it and I can finish my boat projects and get out on the water

    BTW it was really nice of longspurs to start this thread, it made my work day go by a lot easier 👍🏽

    If not, not even a smoker can tame that meat haha

    Yep, I learned that from cleaning/ eating bluefish. Believe it or not when cleaned properly and eaten fresh they are delicious, especially when under 10lbs

    I do that also including trimming off the belly

    Awesome well done. Way to cap off a great day!

    Haha well after 19 years you’re doing it right. Keep it outside then for sure.

    Hey longspurs, with a fish like that you don’t have to go with strong flavors to cover up strong flavored fish like fall salmon. I like baking it with butter, olive oil, minced garlic, dash of thyme, salt/pepper and a splash of lemon. 350 for maybe 12 mins and done!

    Haha, if you only saw me trolling in the “trench” off of Henderson and hooking up. I could see the guys in the big boats rubber necking as they passed. Ahh the good’ol days

    Should have tried that and in the first place to at least rule that out but didn’t feel like lugging it down to the basement

    ...I said I wasn’t gonna do it, but...

    Could hooking it up to my boat’s “house“ battery provide the juice to make it all work?

    All 3 lights are LED and all light up if individually connected to power but when all are connected, just the spotlight runs. If i disconnect it, the 2 stern lights light up
  17. greenhornet73
    To clarify my madness, I connected the two stern lights at that end so one set of wires ran to the butt connectors to the spotlight and main line
  18. greenhornet73
    I ran them parallel I believe since I used butt connectors to connect the spotlight wires and stern lights to the main power wires. So 2 wires crimped in one end and the main on the other end. Did one like that for the positive and one for the negative.

    If connected to power separately all the lights work but connected in- line just the spotlight works. Before I left the house this morning I reversed the quick connects for the spotlight, positive to negative, and the spotlight turned off but the sterns turned on. Later I will try reversing the pigtails to the stern lights instead and see if that works. Glad to hear I may not have to run new wire through the t top frame all over again. I’ll post later how I make out. Thanks so much.

    Wow that would be awesome if that’s all it takes. I’ll try it when I get home and let you know. Thanks!

    Seriously baller. I had taken Wednesday off for the opener but am now land bound since I can’t take anyone with me on the boat.

    This is now retired to the rafters on the garage for now
  23. greenhornet73
    Wow, awesome! I used to do that quite a bit but it gets really tricky fishing 2 rods 100’ out and hooking up without a pedal drive. Nice job

    I am pre- wiring my t top to install on my center console and just hit a bump. I connected my 2 low draw LED stern lights with 16 gauge wire and pigtailed them to my LED spotlight at the bow end that is on 14 gauge wire to create one circuit on a toggle switch. Anyways, once I finished the splicing I connected it to my little portable 12v battery and only the spotlight worked. When I disconnected just the spotlight using the quick disconnects I had wired in, the stern lights turned on. Is the reason because of the 2 different wires used or is the spotlight drawing too many amps leaving the others dry? I have more 14 gauge wire I could rewire the stern lights with if need be but not sure if that would be a solution? Any advice would be really appreciated so I can be up and running as soon as I can do the t top install.

    I see what you’re saying but I have caught fish on frog pattern spoons and have never seen a frog actually swim like that! Sometimes it’s better to not overthink things and experiment until something works.
