Do you have a multimeter? See if there's any voltage on those wires. Also check to see what they run back to, I would be cautious with open wires just lying in the boat.. One other thing to check - does your motor still have an anode on it and is it in good shape? Might be worth replacing w/ a new zinc anode

Where on the boat is it? Lund had had issues with electrolysis on the transom which appears as bubbling paint. I guess under some circumstances the treated wood in the transom reacts with the aluminum. Not sure if alumnacraft had that issue but thought I'd mention it

Yes. This is about the best picture I have of my setup. I've added more tracks and rod holders since

Should fit pretty much any track. I'm using Cisco

I have a berts downrigger base that fits in my cisco track, so presumably their other stuff would fit as well

As a woodworker and boater I really appreciate the work that you put into this. Nice job!

I know it's not what you asked, but have you considered building a new upper in a larger caliber? (E.g. a 6.8 spc) You can use everything you already have in the lower

North end around 150 to 200 foot of water

Your experience on the lake matches mine from Friday. Lots of marks, lots of bait but no bites.

Thanks Ted!

Thanks! The bigger one hit like a hammer and was very acrobatic. Leaped a few times getting it back to the boat. Bent the treble hook too

I wasn't targeting them, no. Really just went out to get on the boat and figured I would try the gamblers. Today was actually my first time using them. Chalk it up to luck, but it was fun!

Yes, North end launch. Bait clouds are crazy too at about 60 feet down

Canandaigua 8/25 Haven't been out in a long time so I took the day off. Headed out at 6:30 and lines in around 7. First rainbow at 7:30 next around 9. Both on gamblers on dipsy and jet divers out 230 over 200. First around 4 pounds next seemed around 7? No scale on board

Canandaigua North End Launch How is the state launch at the north end? Any docks in yet? Water level? I'm thinking of taking Friday off and getting the boat out for the first time this year.
