    I've got a well used but great running long shaft 18hp Johnson. For its age it runs very well, cold on choke it usually fires up third or fourth pull, after it's warmed up 1st or second pull. Good compression and plenty of power. I installed a new water pump impeller a few months ago and within the last couple years new plugs, wires and fuel lines. About a month ago I drained lower end and found a little water mixed in with gear lube. Either needs new lower end seals or possibly it's just the washers on the drain bolts. New seal kit online goes for about $50 I don't have the time to install seals and recently found a newer motor. I have this on Craigslist as well but haven't had much interest. Id really like to see this go to someone who would use it. Motor comes with 2 metal gas tanks in decent shape and spare prop as well. Looking for around $250, but open to offers and trades...

    I removed this from the water last night around 7:45 it was just the mast and sail, mast was broken off at the bottom. I put it on Craigslist lost and found this morning. If anyone knows who it belongs to I've got it...

    What are the 2 derbies? I only know of the Barney Baldwin memorial. Also, wrestlecoach, sent you a PM.

    Nice fish guys, definitely a brutally hot weekend. I talked to bear after the weigh in, he said he's trying his best to get a weigh station up by long point for the fall derby. Also confirmed the Barney Baldwin memorial derby is 1 day, Saturday, August 4th.

    I don't normally venture out that deep either. There was a lull for a couple hours yesterday where fish on the bottom were chasing but wouldn't hit anything so we decided to try it. There was quite a lot of activity between the surface down to about 90'. Didn't see anything on the bottom out that deep. It takes some searching around to find these suspended fish, not sure it would be as productive as focusing on the bottom but something I would like to explore more.

    I was out Saturday and today fishing the salvation army derby. We covered different areas from about 2 miles south of power plant all the way to about a mile north of Aurora, all on the east shore, fished from 5:00am till 3:00pm each day. Despite the poor water clarity the jigging was steady throughout both days we caught fish from 40' out to suspended over 250 - all Lakers plus a 6lb LL and a 4.5lb brown. Best depth Saturday was around 73' and 89' today. We managed lots of small 3-5lb fish with the occasional 7-8 lber in the mix. Lots of fish but nothing big enough for the board. 1oz jigs & chartreuse swimbaits seemed to produce the best.

    I don't see any contact info to call and find out but I would assume/hope it's Saturday & Sunday. It does say though under registration info: " Starts at 12:01am on Friday, July 13th, 2018 Ends at 6:00pm on Saturday, July 14th, 2018"

    I was there at 3:45pm completely forgot to take a pic... Lakers ranged from the 11-2 down to an 8-4 and I believe top fish in b division was a 9+ brown. Very windy, rainy and cold for us today but consistent fishing, hopefully tomorrow’s weather will be a bit nicer. Good luck to everybody

    Thanks for the update, we also braved the snow and wind down the lake a ways, white out one minute, sunny the next... Happy spring

    I was wondering the same thing a few years back, the regs seem pretty vague about this... it clearly says you can use a throw net or minnow trap but not whether those are the ONLY methods you can use. I’m not sure what type of bait you are trying for but I tried an umbrella net for alewife without any luck and ended up switching to sabiki rigs which work awesome. somewhere in the reg book it says which species are allowed as bait.

    I like the newer shadow rap shads, they’re heavy enough to cast far but not huge in size. I’ve had good luck with the 4” size husky jerks as well.

    I fish this way exclusively during winter and early spring. I use my trolling motor and foot control to work the shore line, while we are not going as fast as one would trolling we do cover a lot of water. We rarely stop unless we see a lot of activity in one spot, otherwise we're constantly moving and casting. Lately stickbaits in the 3-4" size have produced nice fish. The advantage I notice as opposed to trolling is the ability to get the lure in VERY shallow, many times I'm casting just inches from the shoreline, I'm always amazed at the fish I see starting to chase the lure in just a few feet of water. I've trolled quite a bit with planer boards and its tough to get in that close. Not saying it's necessarily more productive than trolling but it's a lot of fun. GOOD luck

    Looks like the helix units support ipilot link, I don't see anything on the hummingbird site about wifi mirroring. I've never had good luck running 2 transducers simultaneously without lots of interference, I'm not sure it's really necessary either, when we're fishing with a second wifi screen you can see each individual jig fall and fish chasing each one back up. Typically whoever is fishing closer to the transducer will have a darker more apparent line on the screen representing their jig but we have had luck seeing 3 to 4 jigs at the same time, you just have to keep track of which one is yours.

    The hds 7 is a great unit, look into raymarine as well. I've been using the dragonfly 7 pro which is great for jigging. One really nice feature is the ability to mirror the screen on any wifi enabled device - iPad, tablet, smartphone etc. This is awesome if you have multiple people fishing so everyone can see a screen and track their jigs. Much easier and cheaper than trying to set up multiple units. We have a 9.7" iPad as a second screen and it's been working perfectly.

    Do em both!

    Pretty sure it's the weekend before memorial day, not sure about the second weigh station.
  24. cronoticed
    Are they still doing a weigh in at Geneva, Watkins and Sampson as it says in the derby rules? There is no mention of a weigh in at Seneca marine, just the awards ceremony.
