  1. Chaumont Bay Walleye Advice I have a trip planned in two weeks to Chaumont Bay to fish mainly for walleye. I have never fished there so other than looking over navionics maps I really don't know the area at all. Looking for any advice on where/what to fish there. I have a PB walleye of 7lb 1oz (Oneida Lake) and am really hoping to beat it that weekend, as I have heard/read that Chaumont Bay is one of the best (if not the best) big walleye places to fish in NY.I am very familiar with walleye fishing and have the gear to fish for them just about every way there is. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!
  2. Fish307 has the best prices you will find on these trust me I was in same situation as you. I think theirs are in $170 range but it beats $400+ for new riggers. Very hard to find used motors for these, if the motor is still good likely the whole rigger still good.
  3. I'm good guys, I honestly don't really need it thanks though.
  4. Checkout Cabelas they are having a sale on all fishing gear right now... Their depthmaster rods are great and can't beat the price when they are on sale. They have a 8'6" ML rod that fits what your looking for, for $32!
  5. Gander is now offering an additional "10% off sale" on everything left (still a good amount of stuff left too). Just FYI the 10% is in addition to the 20% off sale but don't get confused and think its now 30% off! Its 20% off then 10% off the discounted price... so technically 28% off lol.
  6. In case anyone was wondering it did work! Add a Cannon Mag 20 board to a Cannon Mag 10, find a place on the motor to add a ground wire and now you have auto stop!
  7. Pictures of how the new riggers are setup... no circuit board in there at all. I think I can use one of those bolts near the breaker as a ground too.
  8. Pulled apart the new TS Mag 10s... no board of any kind in there... power to right to switch to motor to breaker and that is it. I'm thinking I can just swap the entire setups out (switch/board/breaker) and put it right in the TS riggers. This will also save me the hassle of swapping out battery plug-ins as they are slightly different between the two riggers. Only thing I will have to do is find a place to connect the green ground wire on the new motors. Makes sense in my head lol
  9. Add auto stop to downriggers? So I had a post before trying fix my old cannon mag 10 downrigger motor. Well I had no luck. Instead of buying a new motor for $150 I found a good deal on another set of electric mag 10 tournament series riggers. Only bad part is they don't have auto stop. my old mag 10s had been upgraded with mag 20 boards for the reason of adding auto stop (I'm assuming, previous owner did it). Is there any reason why I can't swap these boards into my new mag 10s and then have auto stop on them? Below are pics of my old mag 10s with the mag 20 boards in them. Looks to me like the green ground wire may have been added by the previous owner? (Different hardware and different gauge wire then the rest of the connections)
  10. No need for a backup... I'll cya at 530!
  11. Chaumont Bay opening of walleye, not many other places in NY your gonna find a higher concentration of trophy size walleye.
  12. As far as I know only the one in New Hartford is closing for NY stores. There's a list of the ones they announced were closing if you google search. 32 stores nationwide I believe, all "underperforming" stores. Lot competition in the Utica area honestly... 3 Walmarts, Bass Pro, Runnings, Dicks, 2 Herb Philipsons, multiple local bait/tackle shops. Honestly the Gander in new Hartford was terrible anyways, prices were outrageous. The 20% off closing sale barely made it worth shopping there.
  13. I'm actually looking for the exact same thing, pair of single tubes with the clamp... If the OP is all set and someone had an extra pair I would be interested... pm me. EDIT: never mind I'm all set too!
  14. Wow yeah Cummings carries just about every type/size net there is it looks like! I'll measure my hoop and hopefully it's a standard size. Pretty reasonable prices also thanks!
  15. $75 for a gal of flex seal I might as well sell this net and buy a new one lol. I know Beckman is out of business so I was unsure if it was possible to get a replacement net. I suppose I could measure the hoop and try and find something else close in size.
  16. Landing net coating So I picked up a really nice Beckman landing net from a buddy and tried it out over the weekend. Obviously worked great my only issue is the netting is uncoated and caused me some serious headaches with trebles getting tangled and caught inside the the actual webbing. Has anyone coated an uncoated net before? I was thinking maybe trying plasti dip that's meant for handles of tools. Stuff in almost $10 a can and I figure I need 2-3 cans of it to cover the whole net. Just wanted to see if anyone has tried this before I throw money away and possible ruin a really nice net.
  17. If anyone is looking for something specific I plan on heading to mexico next weekend (weather permitting) to fish again and only live 10 mins from the Utica Gander Mt. Will prolly be heading there for myself later this week anyway. I have no problems picking up stuff and bringing it with me next weekend (Just FYI everything at this is Gander is no returns/refunds due to them closing). PM me
  18. Mexico launch is fine, 6 boats outta there today from what I was told... heading up in the am!
  19. WTB: Cannon downrigger rod holders Looking for a pair of single tube rod holders for a cannon mag 10 downrigger. Would also be interested in dual rod holders instead. Pm me
  20. dam I always miss the good ones... been looking for a pair of these for awhile. Good price too
