Before I even start winterizing my block I open the 2 drain valves above the oil pan and make sure they drain. Sometimes I have had to shove something to unplug them because dirt will collect on the bottom of your block causing water to get trapped or block circulation 

Anybody remember the old down-and-out technique and where if any place to buy the attachments are?

Has Anyone Been Able To Find The #6 Chinook Divers Yet? If So, Where?  Thanks!!!!!

Talked with him yesterday it looks like another month. They had some material issues 

I installed a Raymarine EV150 on my 221 and absolutely love it but I also went from cable to hydraulic steering 

I run pump handles on my 300 copper so I  don't  have to have 4 and  5 hundred set ups. I also have smart troll and know exactly how deep they are. Just like every set up they have there days

Thanks for the info.

Starting to wonder whether Henderson Harbour is the destination now.

An hour closer to home and have fished Henderson a lot.

Anyone want to weigh in on best guesses for brown first or second week in April out of Henderson Harbour?

I fished the trench area one spring for a week felt the fishing was slow and never went back. Ever since I  fish the high rocks near the plant and fish out of Catfish Creek 

Bought mine last year couldn't be happier knowing depth and temp on my dipsys is a game Changer. I sometimes run 2 on my downriggers after buying an extra paddlewheel. I don't run them that much in the fall with heavy boat traffic. 300 bucks a probe seams alot but over the years  I  always had 2 fishhawk probes on my boat and have had a few stop working that had to be replaced at 450 a pop. When you go cost of a new fishhawk vs smart troll there pretty close a fishhawk is a one trick pony

We have, but it's not something we do often. I put a heavy duty snap on the back of the probe, and an Offshore OR-16 clip on the front. This is also how I attach the Smart troll to a slide diver.

I notice you run them on all your dipsys. Have you ever had a client lose one and if so how many?

Anyone run your smart troll probe with copper and how do you attach it thanks 

2 probes one is brand new and never used $825 to your door 

Does anyone know how long it takes to charge a smart troll probe? Thanks 

I had a 25ft Wellscraft that I converted from cable steering to hydraulic and installed a EV 150 it worked so well I did the same thing on my  221 Islander hardtop even added the remote control 

Unfortunately 3.1 is not an error code it's a buy new probe code 

35 bucks plus 20 for shipping you got to be kidding 

B&E Tackle and they are awesome 

I run 4 Chinooks and 2 downriggers and most day's the Chinooks out fish the downriggers

Hi LOU crew. I fish both LO and Champlain and find the members on the United forums are exceptional and very helpful for all fishermen especially for those of use who have to travel to the big waters to enjoy our sport. By using wind finder.com and united forum it helps me determine whether it’s worth the 4 hour drive. Without your personal advice I have driven up to the lake just to turn around and go to fat Nancy’s and the drive back to the poconos without ever putting the boat in the water. I have a 17 foot starweld so needless to say waves matter. I trying to decide if I should come this Sunday. ( Father’s Day) 😁 I like fishing Mexico Bay Area. Any local advice would be appreciated. But mostly, thank you all for always giving great advice for us traveling fishers. 👍

Windfinder is something I would not plan a trip around many times I have been at the dock with 4 footers and the app said 1 footers 

It's all fun and games until someone loses a probe 

I run mostly  Chamberlains but when I use meat rigs or large flasher I  run blacks because the chamberlains can't handle those rigs no matter how tight you set them 

I've done both my boats so I could add autopilot pretty easy one with power assist and one without. Alls you need is time and money 

Got some kings by the plant 60 fow 40 down time to repaint some lures

When I bought my new motor the manufacturer recommended the 15 40 because of the additives and I've used it ever since with no issues
