Thanks for the report. We fished our of there Sat as well. Had a good day but couldn't get the screamers in. Landed several 10-12# kings and lots of smaller. Mainly spoon and meat Bite for us. Fished 180-280 with lots of action. TEMPS sporadic but mainly down 100 or so

Well I feel your pain on the tackle issues. Had a guy lean his entire weight on a rigger this weekend while trying to reach a release (didn't use rope for some reason) . And you guessed it, snap goes the entire downrigger. All you can do is laugh at moments like that. Glad you still had a good day!

Thanks for the report. Nice looking fish!

We use a heavy rubber band to hold the net back. I am strongly against having anything hard mounted to the net, as I once had a nice king pop back out because the basket couldn't expand when we went to pull it out of the water- the net got caught on it. The more hardware you have, the more chance for error.

Netting is all about technique. That net shouldn't touch the water until the fish is calm and ready to net... if he's going nuts, he's not ready to net. I go in at a 45 degree angle, head first, and quickly in a downward motion to go under the fish. I either hold the excess net with my finger, or use a medium sized rubber band.

I loved the starfire as well! Couldn't beat them for the money

Wouldn't fish with out mine. Most guys would rather go with out a fish finder on the lake then without their fish hawk. Including me.
 
I got mine five years ago and my hookup rate increased on day one. Though if u only fish a few times a year might be cheaper options out there.
 
I bought an old 840 fish hawk for cheap and bought the 4x probe which works wt the 840 display and transducer. Save u about 300 or so.

X2 on this

And auto pilot is wonderful, but a fish hawk is a necessity. You will not look back

Run the coppers off of boards. You'll have a mess the other way.

It varies by port a great deal and most use cell phones now to communicate

Really appreciate all the responses so far . Lots of research to be done uet, but this certainly shortens the search.

I realize that this topic is one that gets repeated often, but with everything getting outdated I thought I would try again.  I am in the market for new fishfinder.  I am a rookie when it comes to electronics.  I don't know much but I know that my current one is from 1992.   I would like GPS and great fish finding abilities.   Finding bait would be huge as my current one does not. 

Next year I am getting a new autopilot but not sure if that even matters to this conversation.

Would like to stay under $1000

Thanks for all of your help in advance

Welcome to Lake O. Fleas can be tough this time of yr so using heavier line will help. Sounds like you will be just fine. Spoons will work but variety sometimes is the key. It seems that flasher flies off dispeys are working this yr so if you could stop and grab a cpl flies that would be helpful. Also do yourself a favor, grab a pretied meat rig or 2 and some herring strips at bait store and put it down in cold water and hang on.
I am nowhere near a pro compared to the rest of these guys so I am sure there will be a lot of other good advice. Good luck and post pics of your Dad's king!

Never knew about the cold water rules. Does that include the Niagara river?

Go to the Amish Outfitters site and all your storage issues will be gone.

 

exactly    tubes for the flies and amish outfitters have a great meat head box.  you will never look back

I have three of these riggers on my rig.  Solid riggers .  Very slow though.  Parts are available but getting much harder to find. Fish307 still has what you need.  Price is well, ... no comment.

Thanks guys!

Trying to fend off cabin fever by organizing my stuff again.  Cannot find a way to keep my cowbells stored other than just roll them up and throw them in a plastic box..  Anyone have any neat ideas or pics of how they do it?

Ok. What would be rough shipping estimate on one lot to Pa?
