  1. I had a hard time getting my x4 to send back probe info last weekend. It would give me a read and then the probe readings would disappear and then re-appear but might be way out of calibration etc. manual says I may need to increase gain if my rigger are weights are under 15# which mine are. I’m not certain they are 10-12# off the top of my head. Anyway I was curious if anyone has had similar issues and how high on the gain you had to go to get proper readings again.
  2. I’m curious to hear the vary thoughts on wind direction and it’s effects on the fisheries between Oswego and Henderson Harbor. Not so much a discussion of wave activity but rather what people’s preferred wind directions are for favorable fishing conditions... also have you noticed a species preference in relation to wind direction? This past weekend the Browns seemed to move down from Nine Mile to Oswego with an east blow and it got me thinking if others find similar experiences and if they notice any specifics in regards to species
  3. I’m looking to see if anyone has any Okuma Coldwater 453d reels for sale.
  4. 7 okuma trolling reels. 4) 30 series Magda pro 1) 20 series Magda pro 2) classic 300L ALL work well and rarely used! Drags were always backed off when not in use. $140 plus $25 shipping included.
  5. So the front (port) left side horizontal section of my bow rail got bent. I want to replace it and wondered if anyone knows of a section on a boat for sale etc? I can buy the tubing but unsure about weather or not a co suit bender can bend the ss bowrail. I’m not interested in buying a tubing bender for one slight bend in 24” of rail
  6. Are the booms on the down riggers interchangeable? I have a mag5st and want to put slightly longer booms on them or possibly extending ones but I can find any info that says which ones if any are interchangeable.
  7. Hi all as the season is fast approaching I’m trying to complete my project needs/wants for the boat. I run a lowrance elite5 and a Hook2 9. I’m interested in hearing opinions on Navionics cards for these units. I’m not sure which to purchase, or if they’re valuable enough to invest in. I’ve never used one nor seen the images they provide.
  8. I don’t care for inline boards, but I know that trip trees work well for them, I do run catamaran boards and was just curious how well people enjoyed trip trees with catamaran boards
  9. Tom at penn yan boats still has them. I purchased new ones from him for my boat last fall
  10. Thanks! Yes the ones I’m looking at do have swivel bases. I appreciate the feedback
  11. How does everyone like using triple trees rod holders with fixed angles for planet board rods. (Not in-line planers). Looking at Picking up a pair but haven’t used them before. Looking at running three planer lines per side. The ones I have in mind aren’t adjustable for angle as those are just not in the budget this year.
  12. I appreciate it. I already have 2 mounted and plan on moving them to the transom. I do want to put a dual rod holder set up near my planer reels which would also be for dipsy use. I may go with a short track set up if I can find one with a fairly narrow track approx 21” long I may go that way
  13. I know what tracks do and offer but my gunwale isn’t very wide and I don’t want track over hanging the edges of the boat
  14. I don’t particularly want to put a track on the boat. I want something I can bolt to the gunwale
  15. Thank you for the feed back everybody, what’s y’all opinion then if the tite lok multi lok holder?
  16. Has anyone used them for trout and salmon fishing? Have yet to use them but want a couple more if they get a thumbs up for their ability to handle salmon and trout rods
