Sk8man you are right it is a 200khz and 83khz.

I don't know if you will have any problems with your cannon transducer but you may have problems with your fish hawk unit if any other of the transducers operate within 20khz of 70khz fish hawk transducer. you may have to change the settings on your fishfinders to a different khz setting. my fish finder has a 120khz and a 83khz setting. if it causes problems at the 83khz setting I just change it to the 120khz setting. it doesn't mark fish as well at the 120khz setting once you get over 100' but i know the depth i am at and i always want my fish hawk to be accurate.

good to hear from you Chuck just wish the circumstances were different. i know its a tough time but hang in there. thanks for the pictures, what a nice boat and a beautiful buck. i will be at the bar this spring and hope to run into you sometime.

so sorry to hear about Mike. i worked with him at General Motors and enjoyed talking fishing with him. he was a great guy who had a passion for the outdoors. my condolences to his family.

i have a 2017 16'9" crestliner fish hawk. very versatile boat. fish all over with it even up to lake ontario during the summer. bought it at silver lake marine. handles the rough water great.

thank you for all your post this year it certainly makes it easier for us weekend guys

I agree 100%.

I would say they probably are. what kind of graph do you have?

no I don't have dedicated rods. you can land a big fish on 17lb test if like I said if you don't hurry. my dad was a great fisherman who always fished with as light a line as possible. I do think the lighter line does make a difference some days. I know what your talking about with the flaser and flys but if your releases are set right and you play the fish until he is tired you will be ok. I do use 25lb test fluorocarbon on my wire slide divers.

I add a 15' 17lb test fluorocarbon leader. would go even smaller pound test but don't always have experienced guys with me. if you take your time with the fish you will have minimal breakoffs. I used to use 12# test and landed many kings but I had guys that knew what they were doing back then. biggest salmon was 33-6 on 12# test. I use a uni to uni knot and seguar fluorocarbon. Ande mono 40# for fleas.

where do you find Bob Songin's fishing report?

nice fish and good report. is bob songin's report something he does every week ?

no flasher with spoons. I always run a flasher and fly. I do think on some days it draws them into the spread.

nice report but just wondering if anyone was having any luck in closer. with the north northeast wind the next couple of days thinking it might bring the fish in a bit.

how old is the battery? I change mine every four years. sometimes the plates get loose and that is not good. boat batteries take a lot of abuse.
