Bought a set of the 12's myself . Can not wait to get them wet. I am think about putting an extra couple of clear coats on them to help preserve that beautiful paint scheme...any thoughts on that? 

Mine are five years old now and still look good. Just don't drag bottom! Ask me how I know.

What is the difference between the Triton TR's and the Triton GT's?

I believe it's where they were made but I may be wrong.

I've got two that I'm willing to part with. Will trade for one tekota

Man, I miss all the good stuff!

I just set up my first copper and want to get this right. You can clip or half hitch a band directly to the copper? I always thought it had to be to the backing. If that's the case it just made my 300 more versatile. Thanks for the response.

Mine stay in the boat. Make sure the Fish hawk probe comes in tho.

Since you're trying to start a fight, what do you propose for a course of action that will bring the runs back in our lifetime?

We've been running Talora dipsey rods, seem just fine. Good luck

You have way too much fun!

Give fish hawk a call, find them very helpful. Good luck!

porcupine?

Awesome as always!

I believe Minion made a run of those last year.

Thanks guys! Deffinitely a lot pf time thinking about his bedding. Staying out of the property till he felt comfortable enough to come out in the daylight. Hunted food plot this morn only saw a spike. So got down to a pinch point to eat lunch. 5 minutes later he comes walking by! Put my lunch down and grabbed my bow as I was on the ground. So waited till he was behind a. Tree drew and stopped him in an 18yd opening with not a twig between us! Got to get an exact tape but we rough scored him over 170 got to wait the drying period now!

Nice deer! Mind me asking what the air temp was when you shot it?

I thought it was funny Tim!

He called back just after lunch. He said they leave customer service to the dealers. I told him they are loosing sales because of that policy, people are complaining about it, a lot of us do our own work and could use better information than the generic owners manual. He said he was unaware of this and will pass on to his manager. I doubt they will change anything. So  I;m not holding my breath. 

Oh and the dealer I bought from dropped them and are selling something else, less than 1 year from my purchase. When I talked with them they referred me to another dealer a few hrs; from me. Won't buy from them again.

I don't understand why the dealer you purchased the boat from won't help. When you buy anything you are buying that relationship. That should be your ****, frustrating I'm sure. Best of luck!

Good going Capt, way to go the extra for your clients!

I own an 18' Lund Sport Angler, definitely wasn't cheap but I haven't had any issues. Most are factory powered with Mercs but Honda is an option. Mine has Honda power 115 main with a 9.9 kicker. You can troll forever on 10 bucks. No matter what 18 footer you buy, you'll have to pick your days on Ontario. Good luck, Matt

Send me a pm if you would like more info

Nope, On the new Optimums there is a braid algorithm. On the old DT's you could adjust amount of line on spool to dial them in.

Thank you for the reply

I don't fish walleye enough to have an opinion, and when I do I generally don't run Downriggers.

 

 

2/3. One has coated cable for my Mood. That might go away soon as I get used to the Fish Hawk.

The braid on your riggers must screw up the counters. I haven't bought the X4D yet.

I know this response will draw anger from some, but I feel its the truth.. The NYSDEC, knows all about the lamprey problem in Seneca and Cayuga. They let it go until its totally out of control, and stocks are decimated before they do anything. Happens every few years to one lake or the other. Cayuga is doing well now, but several years back it was the same damn thing.. Lampreys out of control, and poor fishing..

 

The DEC seems to me to be laser focused on the Great Lakes Salmonids and not much else... Warm water fisheries and many  smaller trout venues, go without, or get a small sickly  bone once a year, with a few 7 inch trout thrown in in April, and done... Other states fishery programs do in  incredible work with minimal water resources compared to what we have in NY...

You guys don't know how good you have it. Come to NH and fish awhile, there's a reason we travel six hours to fish NY. Good luck,    Matt

I'm not sure if the directions say to unscrew the cap each time but I would and am scared that you may wear out the o ring. All I do is take the bumper off every time. Good luck,    Matt

Less, was the smelt you caught through the ice caught in late Feb or early March? Looks like it's full of eggs, ready to run the river?

I would have to agree that the top fish is not a smelt. Wrong profile, here in NH we use small smelt for bait in the spring. Not a smelt, kinda looks like a emerald. Though emeralds have a green sheen to them. Good luck!    Matt
