Thank you all for your feedback. You have made some interesting points and I will be picking up a pair and start by using this setup on ruff days off the outriggers. Happy New Year
There is a youtude post that states the dive profiles are very close out plus 200. Of course this was with wire and 300 foot wieghted wire. My thoughts are that it would be the same for copper and braid. If this is true and the profiles can be determined two rods 300/450 would cover all depths from 300 to 650.
Does anyone have or have access to a smart troll tested depth chart for 300 and 400 foot #45 copper that is extended out to 4, 5, 6, and 7 hundred feet with 60lb multi-color braid.
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you All.
Hi SK8, thank you your reply. I am think of only carrying long coppers and using the rollers to fish the depth needed. Is anyone doing this? Do you see any problems running this setup. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Hi Nick, thank you the feedback. I am think of using them to run long coppers on outriggers and plainers. I am looks to be able to adjust the lengths on the fly. No more pulling them in to change form 300-600. Just reel to the length you need for the depth of the fish you just mark. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Does anyone has any experience with the AFTCO Fishing Flatline Clip FL1B. My question is this release adjustment sensitive and light enough to be used for salmon?
The weather was beautiful. The water was flat and dirty. I ran a sonar past in the bay and it was full of fish. We trolled the lake for 3 hours did not mark a fish. I ran east of the inlet in 10 to 40ft fow for 3 hours. Landed one small salmon on a small blue/white spoon. The picture shows most of the spoons I dropped. Your thoughts are appreciated.
With the warm forecast for Tuesday, I am thinking of another last trip to Lake Ontario. I have not fished the lake this late. I will going to be launching out of Fair Haven. Your thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
I agree. Have you used it and is the clarity improvement significant. I have a medium chirp and I am considering a low chirp. There a big ticket item and I do not want to regret the purchase.
I am considering a transducer upgrade from a traditional Altmar B60 to a Altmar B175L.
First is anyone using a B175L?
Second do you consider the B175L an improvement over a traditional 50-200 B60?
Thank you for your time. I will value the feedback from anyone willing to share.
I have a Simrad ap12 with a mechanical drive rotory cable steer. I am looking into retrofit the steering to a Garmin Reactor 40 Mechanical/Retrofit/Solenoid Corepack Without GHC 20, 010-00705-48 and my Garmin 7600.
Is anyone running this autopilot retrofit. I am hoping to be able to use the pattern features the available with 7600 sonar.
