Hey mike welcome to site, think ive met you on lake wallenpaupack before, i also own a trophy anyways being from scranton myself closest place to launch for me has always been wrights landing in oswego or little sodus bay outside of fairhaven. Wrights landing costs a small fee but theres alot more parking, and if you plan on heading torwards the power plant your gonn be alot closer than launching from fair haven. Gl

Ty for the reply i had it like that and it just peged the guage to full when the sender ground went straight to guage

So ive never had a working fuel guage in my boat since ive bought it and decided to fix that this year. I bought a brand new gauge and sending unit. I did a dry run before installing everything and with all the wires hooked up the gauge read perfect when i moved the float on the sending unit. So i had the boat in the water for the 1st time yesterday and as soon as i fired up the engine the fuel gauge was bouncing all over. Heres how i have my wiring ran sending unit wire to sending unit post on gauge, ground from sending unit direct to battery. Ignition hot switch to gauge for power when keys on and guage grounded in line with all other guages. Any ideas what could be acting up?!?

I’m new to this game

Idk how well braid is gonna work in your downrigger releases. 20lb-30lb big game mono for fleas is pretty standard for kings. -
Debating tinting my walk around maybe darker on the sides and lighter on the front.

Thinking of updating 2 of my braid reels which are my go to reels for trolling locally where i live. They use 30lb power pro, plan is to swap out current braid reels and make a 2 and 5 color core out of them and buy some nicer reels set up with 30lb power pro. Heres my question what place do these have on ontario. Pulling shallow dipseys in spring? How many of you flatline cranks of boards with braid? I already have 2 wire dipseys set up so trying to find a place for these on the big lake if i make the investment.

Coosa board all the way, lighter than plywood, less than 1% water retention and no need to glass both sides what you spend exta on the board you will save in time and resin!

Has anyone tried directional downrigger weights? Looking at the ones made by fishfinder Im thinking of adding a 3rd rigger to my spread next year and theres no way im gonn get 3 in there without a mess unless i use somethig to swing my outside riggers out. Trying to avoid using wingers and i already have to much gear to carry around.. do these tend to tangle into dipseys at all? I guess id have to use all #1 dipseys unless going reAlly deep with mag dipseys because of tangles?

I put in carbon fiber washers on my magdas, they seem to help a bit but ive still have them be sticky at times, i dont really use my magdas in my salmon spread for this reason but i have cAught some giant 30 pound stripers on them.

Zebra mussle question.
Rtrucking40 replied to Rtrucking40's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Lol!! We legit did have a fish on got it in to about 100 foot left to go before it came unglued and it took a few runs on the way in so it was def a fish, just odd it would hit it full of zebra mussles and btw i live by a resivor that was damed up in the 30s the trees are all topped and stick up about 30ft off the bottom and i donate about 200-300 dollars worth of tackle there a year so i no what its like fighting bottom, i have even brought up giant tree branches -
Zebra mussle question. Had a fish take a spoon on a 275 wire dipsey in 90-110 fow cant remember exactly, we lost the fish after a hard battle but when i reeled the spoon up the hook was full of zebra mussles does this mean the spoon was ticking bottom or do zebra mussles come up a bit
