I did, had two good hits trolling with spoons early. One got off immediatly, the other fought for a bit, then the line went limp. I don't have riggers, so I use off shore tackle tadpole weights. 1.3oz. so I really have no idea how far down I'm fishing. Just enjoying the ride and my cigar.

Fished the south end on the weekend. Missed two trolling in the morning. Smashed a few smallmouths and largemouths in the evening. Largemouth on the East side, smallies on the West. Couple of heavyweights, nice fight. Senkos....

EverStart Maxx Group Size 29 Marine Battery
Bait Bucket replied to Bait Bucket's topic in Open Lake Discussion
Running 12v. Have two batteries because I have two boats. Each have a 12 volt motor. You mention charger, I opted for a portable instead of an onboard because of the two boats. I scoured around a bit and decided on an NOCO smart charger. (G15000). It's a 15 amp and will charge a battery 50% down in about 3 hours. They do have a 2 and 3 bank onboard with 10 amps per bank. -

EverStart Maxx Group Size 29 Marine Battery
Bait Bucket replied to Bait Bucket's topic in Open Lake Discussion
They do not have the RC rating on the battery anymore on everstarts. I had one for cranking and lasted me for seven years. My other trolling bat is a Diehard i have since 2009 and is still performing at peak power. So I went and got a new second diehard and in one year, 11 days it will only take 75% and will drain in about 3 days off charge. That's why I'm leaning to the Everstart MAXX. -

EverStart Maxx Group Size 29 Marine Battery Sorry to bring up batteries, but I'm buying a new trolling battery and was going for an EverStart Maxx Group Size 29 Marine Battery. Prblem is, the web site states it only has 85 RC. This used to be 205 with about 125 AH. Does anyone know for sure what exactly the specs are on this battery? Not older ones, but new 2017 batteries. Apparently, the store does not. Volts 12 V Cold Crank Amp 845 Reserve Capacity 85 Manufacturer Part Number MAXX-29DC Contained Battery Type Lead Acid Model MAXX-29DC Brand EverStart Maxx My other option is going to be an Interstate if this does not pan out.

Some nice fish there tman, great job.

Thanks Bobby, never been there, but I will have a good time no matter what the situation. (I guess that's why they make big cigars). If all fails for the heavy ones, always try for some perch.

I guess I'm in the same boat as Todd. Going to Guffin Bay this week to try something other than 18" Oneida Lake cigars. Never been there, so I'm not sure what I can run into at this time of year. I was told the fish may be a lot heavier than Oneida. My on hand rods for trolling are: 9' Ugly sticks (light to 20lb) paired with Penn 320's with 17lb mono and a 6 foot 12lb leader. 6'6" St Croix's (med/hvy to 20lb) paired with Garcia 5600's with 14lb mono and a 4 foot 10lb leader. I have two walleye boards and some off shore tadpole weights, 1 1/4oz each. Just wondering.

Kempie, I have a Crestliner Fishhawk 1600sc (2014) with a Merc 50hp Bigfoot (four stroke). I can get down to trolling speeds for deep divers and spoons. If I need to go with a worm harness, I put two 18" bags out and can get down to or below 1 mph. Warranty on the motor prohibits me to drill and use a plate, but the bags work great.

I know, that makes it harder to filet.

I searched high and low a while back and could only come up with this place. Staying there in May, but not the opener. Basically a fish camp with rooms and cabins. Also has ramp and docks and bait shop. http://www.guffinbayresortandmarina.com/

VMAX Deep Cycle battery Looking for a new trolling battery and was wondering if anyone ever used the VMAX. I know it's about $244, but just looking to maybe upgrade a little.
