I fished out of mexico the last 2 days for 3 hours each day(middle of the day). Fished from Selkirk up past the big river in 40-80 ft of water.  Not a hit either day.  Only marked a very few fish each day.  Saw 1 fish boated each day one in 40 and 1 in 60.  Not many fish at all in the river.  They seem to be running late this year.  Looks like quite a bit of rain coming next week may be whats needed to cool things off.

Reports from the charter guys out of Mexico make it seem like the fishing is on fire in the bay... I'm seeing reports on fb of double digit numbers of fish landed and 20+ bite trips. I havent been up since last weekend so I guess I'll see for myself tomorrow.

It took me a lot of planning and courage to drill that 2 3/8" hole in my hull for the B60. I had to machine special wrenches to install it, but it was well worth it. No more fading at higher speeds.

I installed a B60 this past spring and bought the correct crows foot wrench needed to install it. If someone ends up going the B60 route and needs the wrench shoot me a PM and I'll mail it to you to use. 

It's already starting.... fish are piled up in 120-150 fow between Sandy Pond and Salmon River as of yesterday. Managed to find a few that wanted to bite but most were not interested in anything we had. 

There's a good number of deep water cases made for go-pro cameras that will handle anything the great lakes can offer for depth. I've seen them used on several salt water fishing shows, where guys are deep dropping in 1000ft+. They are not cheap though, I linked one of the less expensive ones that's rated for 500'+. Never used one personally, but what you want is easily achievable if you have the money to spend.

Guess I didn’t realize long lining reels were so niche. And this might sound dumb to some but am I the only right handed person who thinks the reel crank should be on the left side? I mean I don’t know any right handed person who uses a spinning rod with the crank on the right. In my mind you should hold the rod with your dominant hand and crank with the other. It will drive me insane if I have left and right handed reels on the boat.

I crank a spinning reel left handed, buy specifically LH baitcasting reels (never understood the whole casting/switching hands things?) but with trolling reels I'm much more comfortable cranking with my RH. I think it's due to the fact you usually have a lot more cranking to do on these bigger reels than you ever would on a casting reel. Long lining reels aren't niche per say, but freshwater, level-wind, hi-speed, large spool reels are imo (and LH even more so). Other than great lakes fisherman, what fresh water fishing is going to require a reel that can hold 400yds of 30lb line? There's only a few companies that even make freshwater trolling reels. What you're looking for is prolly much more available in non-level wind, lever drag saltwater reel I'd bet.

I have a garmin so that limits some of the functions you can use with i-Pilot 

Aren't all of the ipilot functions done thru the remote? I thought you need the ipilot Link version in order to connect to your Humminbird sonar to gain the additional functions.

Can’t seem to figure out what’s going on with my kicker. It was running fine all season and then developed a “stumble” one day and I can’t figure it out. I’ve replaced spark plugs, fuel filter, cleaned the carb and tried fresh fuel connected to a separate tank. Still runs like the video below shows. It will never actually stall out and shutoff but it stumbles in every rpm range. Seems to get slightly worse at higher RPMs… any ideas would be appreciated.

I've had both Powerdrive and Terrovas in the past, between those two alone the choice is easily the Terrova. The deploy/stow mechanism on the PD models was clunky and awkward to use, plus more power and longer shaft lengths on Terrova models made it a no brainer. I've got no experience with ProNav and honestly never heard of it before seeing this, but I can't imagine there is much it can do that the ipilot can't so Terrova with ipilot would be my choice.

Is it just me or does nobody make a size 40 or 50 high speed line counter reel in left hand retrieve? I feel like I’ve looked at all the big name reel makers. The biggest I can find is a tekota A 600. Am I missing something?

You're already in a niche section of large spool, hi-speed, freshwater, trolling reels and then and even more niche spot of LH retrieve... I'd bet you're going to need to look into saltwater reels to find what you want.

I for sure got skipped... I sent a PM within the first 10 mins of this ad being posted, a 2nd PM the next day and now 4 days later still no response to either PM. I understand you prolly got overwhelmed with PMs and responses... but you skipped possibly the first person to PM you? LOL not a great start

Interested in tekotas and planers, I sent a PM when you first posted this ad earlier today. 

There really isn't a way to wire the transducer wrong honestly, you can mount it wrong which will give you problems displaying correctly. But the plug is only going to fit into one spot on the back of the unit, If you give some more info on your problem we can probably get straightened out.

SALE PENDING...

Bump....

Mixed flasher lot, what you see is what you get $60 + shipping

Maybe I'm over thinking it but "rear of the motor" could be slightly ambiguous depending on how you're looking at the motors. But there are options for connecting it from either side. You just need to measure to make sure you get a kit with the right size rod for the space in between the motors.

The Mag 10A motor is completely discontinued and very hard to find. Also I believe the 10As are only rated for a max of 10lb weights. I used to run 12lbs on my old Mag 10s and they handled it ok, but I don't think I would risk ruining a motor running 15lbss. Especially with how difficult it is to find replacement motors for the 10A.

Does the Garmin Reactor 40 have throttle control built in?  I see it comes with a throttle actuator.  

I have the older TR1 Gold system so I can't comment on the new Reactor system. The throttle control was available for the TR1 but it was optional and I already had the remote throttle setup on my kicker so I chose not to get the one from Garmin. I have read that the ones from aftermarket companies like iTroll, Trollmaster and Controllking were better options than what was offered by Garmin, for the TR1 system atleast. 

prices lowered

Looking for opinion on Panther t5 remote steering for kicker motor . Setting up a new pursuit 2865 with Volvo Penta outdrive and 9.9 Yamaha outboard and cannot link together do to offset. Does anyone use a t5 electro steer and do you like it or is steering with a remote a pain in the ass .

You should look into a dedicated kicker auto-pilot unit like the Garmin Reactor 40. I have the older TR-1 Gold version on my kicker and it was a game changer for me. If you could see the movements the AP unit has to do to hold course in any kind of chop you wouldn't even consider a remote steering unit imo.
