  1. I'm a Garmin guy so I cant really speak on the latest and greatest HB tech. I can tell you that for salmon trolling Lake O, I find both side and down imagining to be basically useless.
  2. I'll take the 2 new ones. PM sent
  3. I recently installed a new to me 2015 Mercury Pro-kicker 15hp on my boat and I don't think that this kicker is returning a charge to my batteries. I monitor voltage and am only seeing 12.5V with the kicker running and as the day goes on it slowly fades down to 12.1-12.2V and starts to trigger low-voltage alarms on my boat. When my main motor is running on the same gauges jumps to 14V+ so I know the gauge is working properly. The electric start on the kicker works fine so I know it's connected to the battery properly. Is it possible to get a Pro-kicker that has electric start but no charging system? The Model# is 1F15452EK, what should I check first?
  4. Your bow sonar should use the built-in transducer in your trolling motor (if there is one) or you should get a mount kit to mount the transducer to your trolling motor. You won't ever be able to get down to only 2 transducers on the transom as long as you have 2 different brand sonars on the boat (HB and Garmin) and a fishawk. You would need to eliminate the Garmin or settle on 3 transducers, you could always mount the fishawk transducer on the other side of the transom. Just run your probe on the same side of the boat that your transducer is on. Networking the 2 HB units wont help you eliminate a transducer from the transom either.
  5. 30lb mono, I use Berkley Big Game.
  6. I have two used Cannon Mag 5 HS downriggers. These have been upgraded with dual rear rod holders, extendable booms (3-6ft I believe) newer style enclosed boom end swivel, newer style solid pin power connections and low profile swivel mounts. These were removed in working condition only thing needed is the female battery side cables as mine stayed in the boat. I will post pics later this week. $500 pickup only in Rome during the week or Mexico on the weekends.
  7. Sonnys is hosting a Brown Trout Tournament this weekend out of Mexico, combine that with what looks to be good conditions all weekend. Expect to see a lot of boats out and not hear many ppl giving out information.
  8. The Sams Pro releases are nice because they will release once a fish hits and you wont have to battle the board and fish in. OR-12 boards will handle a 7 color if you slide the weight all the way forward.
  9. Ok, I see that. So it is a 2014 then thank you! Yup this one is there, thank you!
  10. Anyone know where I can find an owners/installation manual for a 15hp Mercury Pro-kicker I just picked up? I'm told it is a 2014 but I can't confirm, the model number is 1F15452EK and serial number is 0R645522
  11. Looking for (2) size 0 dipsey divers, don't really care what colors. PM me what you got.
  12. There's lots of campgrounds on the lake, both state and private. For a slip you just need to find your closest Marina. Catfish creek has slips and trailers for rent, Olcott has several AirBnB rentals right in the Newfane Marina, some even include a free slip with a rental. For state campgrounds you have Selkirk Shores State Park and Fair Haven Beach just to name a couple.
  13. By end of May fish will likely be out a little deeper. Not sure what your definition of skinny water is but I'd say you'd be looking at 30-60 fow for browns that time of year. There may even be some Kings around by then too. I'd make sure you have some kind of divers with you (Dipsy, Slide or Chinook), 5-10 color leadcores and your salmon gear just in case.

Reel is all spooled up ready to go, used one day on SR and decided it wasn’t my thing. $300 pickup only Utica/Rome area or possibly Altmar area on the weekend. Pics available on request Okuma SLV 7/8 fly reel loaded with Dacron backing and sink tip fly line. 9’6 Okuma SLV 8wt rod 4pc.

  16. 30% off Okuma Coldwater Reels in all sizes, thought it was a pretty good deal worth passing along. I know Amazon isn't usually a place I go to looking for fishing gear so maybe some people missed it... https://www.amazon.com/Okuma-Water-Linecounter-Trolling-CW-303D/dp/B008GQ6WBG/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=FHtyM&content-id=amzn1.sym.a5eaa569-8a45-4530-84d2-2dcf8023272a&pf_rd_p=a5eaa569-8a45-4530-84d2-2dcf8023272a&pf_rd_r=EG4QHR95RGQTEVTRBXJ3&pd_rd_wg=1arC9&pd_rd_r=6ce786fb-a252-4d51-8805-b05cd0ea660f&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mi
  17. I bought an Okuma Convector off him in another thread, he just sent me an email this morning with a pic of the box and shipping label. We communicated via email and I had no issues with him.
