  1. fishusa.com has standard colors and custom colors. anything down to 60' the size 4 anything deeper size 5. the size 4 is the same as the 107's and the size 5 would be the 124's.
  2. if you use chamberlain releases you wont need the fish to pull the cable back. just set the lure tension right and small fish will trip the release most times.
  3. I use 13# pancake weights on the central basin. I fish 50' to 55' down and I don't get much blowback at all. I used 10# balls when I fished the western basin.
  4. I guess im X3 on the chamberlain. i've been trolling for some 30+ yrs. and used most releases including rubber bands. but what works good for salmon isn't always the best for walleye. in my opinion the chamberlain is a must for erie walleye. I have mine set where I can put a good bend in the rod then the lure tension loose enough to trip on most small fish, even white perch.
  5. there are so many eater eyes in erie right now you can catch them just about anywhere. I fish out of Geneva in july. but others fish it early but shallow. the best place to fish early is the western basin. but they can be caught to the east.
  6. have you talked to the DA about bringing some type of charges against him. the least I would do is file suit in small claims court against him. but if he took items thats theft. you need to man up and go after him to the full extent of the law.
  7. which part of erie are you fishing?
  8. i've fished erie since the late 70's. started out drift fishing the western basin. switched to trolling in the late 80's. started using manual riggers and flatlines then used big boards and riggers. moved to the central basin and started using divers but still used my riggers. I did switch to electric riggers and 13# weights for the central basin. the only bad thing about the electric is I didnt switch a lot sooner. some of my biggest eyes have came off my riggers. I think chamberlain releases are a must for erie. set them just tight enough the lure doesn't trip them. this does take some effort to get it right but its worth the effort. I use leads from 15' to 25' and never needed anything over 25' to catch fish. most times I run spoons on my riggers but have run harnesses. I have had great luck with both. if you have any questions feel free to message me.
  9. i'll take them if you'll ship them to me on my dime. I can do friends with pay pal or mail you a check. my shipping address is sherman brown 2715 e 29th st muncie in 47302
  10. still need 5 of the ratchet holders but would take up to 6 if the price is right.
  11. get electric riggers if at all possible. I fish erie for walleye with 6 lite bite slide divers and 2 electrics. I used manual for lake Michigan for salmon and erie's western basin back when I was younger. but moved to the central basin and got a little older. and after switching to electric i've kicked my b*tt several times for not switching sooner. you don't want to run more than 2 divers for kings or you'll have a mess. you would be good with 2 divers and 2 or 4 riggers. the riggers can be used on erie with 6 divers I do it all the time. some of my biggest walleye comes off the riggers set at 50' to 55' down in 70'+ of water. braid or wire will work on your divers and 30# mono on your riggers.
  12. I don't think the new one hit the market until late last yr. so your going to be hard pressed to get any feed back on them. I did look at them on fishusa.com and they do look good. they have a faster line pick up and lower profile. I have read the counter numbers are smaller.
  13. I was just going to tell him about your listing. but now he knows about it. just what he's looking for.
  14. im my opinion you need to go to signaturepropellers.com and contact then about a 14 1/4 x 17p 5 blade propeller or a 14 1/4x15p. I have a 21' glass boat with a 5.7 mercruiser. I know my boats a little smaller but with this prop its just amazing how quick it gets on plane and stays there. I switched to the high five 13 1/4x19p from a 3 blade 19p and was amazed how much difference it made. went looking for a spare and came across the 14 1/4x17p and tried it and have never looked back. I do think I had to cut a small section off the anode on the outdrive so the 14 1/4 would clear the anode. they do make this prop in a 15p. but I turn 5000 rpm's at wot with my boat. I think 4800 is what rpm's these motors are rated at. if you go to larger diameter than 14 1/4 your motor might have trouble turning it. but with your boat i'd think about the 15p. these 5 blade props will keep you on plane at much slower speeds. talk to them at the wed site and explain the size boat the prop you have now and your problems and see which prop they recommend. a 305 has less hp than the 350 but the 305 is supposed to have more low end torque. this should give you a better hole shot than a 350.
  15. I was having the same problem with my 21' boat with a 19p 3 blade when loaded up for fishing erie. I went to a 19 pitch high five and now she jumps on plane. only takes a few seconds to get up. she stays on plane at slower speeds and I have much better handling with the 5 blade. you need at least a 4 blade but a 5 would be even better.
  16. I was using the cannon ratcheting holders and loved them. but they only have 5 or 6 up and down positions where the traxstech has 17 for fine tuning your holders. the one thing I liked most about the cannon holders was they could be set down with one hand where the traxstech holders takes both hands. and I already had the cannon but sold them to buy the traxstech holders. I have a 24" track and run 3 holders about 8" between the holders. I use a 7' 8' and 9' rod for my divers but still want to adjust the front holders up just a bit. the cannon holders are around 80.00 at amazon where the traxstech are around 130.00.
  17. this is an awesome tack driving ml. easy to remove the breach plug by hand after firing several rounds at the range. my big or rather my older brother bought me one a few yrs back. when my son needed a new gun I bought him one for Christmas 2 yrs ago. I gave it to him early and he got his deer that yr. we went to fl during our ml season last yr. this yr he got his deer opening day. they are fine rifles that shoots straight. if you can find one of the old Remington 1100 shotguns in decent shape they are hard to beat. the I believe the Remington 1187 is a great gun.
  18. great prices on these items. just the easy steer rod is well over 100.00, ebay has the rod for around 150.00 each. any set of used manual riggers is worth 200.00.
  19. the sealine 47 reels will work great for kings and last you for many many yrs. the sealine sg47lc5 is on sale at cabelas.com for 69.88 each with free shipping. your not going to beat that price on a sealine reel. the sglc3b left hand reels is the same price.
