Started inside but water was gin clear east and we moved out to 30-35ft ft and found pods of browns. They hit just about everything you put out there. Had a ix presentation o f plugs and spoons before goint to an all spoon program. Anything with green was working good along with an old time evil eye yellow/orange. Worked them for a while boating a dozen and headed west to look at new water. Out in front of Hamlin in 50-55 ft of water found some salmon and boated a couple of teenagers on a DW SS Chicken wing & blue dolpin. 1st kings oof the year and love to hear those reels scream again. 1st king did not like the boat and took 4 different runs as soon as you thought he was done. 2nd one decided to see how many lines he could cross over as he headed to Canada then back to the shoreline. A little mess but no loss tackle. Great day to be out onthe water.

Does anyone have any expereince with these? I have seend videos but do not know anyone that actually owns them. I have an 18ft. so this would definitely help on those choppier days but they are a bit pricey so any feedback would help . Thanks.

Thanks. Thatis why I asked the question because I figured there was a reason and just wasn't thinking of why it could not work.

Has anyone used a 400ft copper and tied in different lengths 100' ,200' etc. of a section of mono to connect to the inline boardso you can run different depths without having 3-4 different setups for copper/wire. Looking for ways to run depth off the boards but I have 2-400 ft copper setups along with a 300 wire. I have a couple 5 color leadcores that i am thinking I couild use snap weights to as well. Jus trying to find a way to make a larger spread in the target zones.

They sent me a discount code but I included your name when I ordered it and Darrell replied: Thanks for letting me know that Rick referred you...he has used Smart Troll for several years and provided feedback that helped me to learn to make it better.

Not if you have a canopy. You would need the support down to go under.

I wanted to see if anyone has any experience with this system and what type of feedback you cold provide. It looks very interesting and I have a Fish Hawk for my riggers but looking more toward dipsy riggers and other lines that really fluctuate with current, direction and speed. Do you see much difference on the actual vs, printed depths? Any feedback you have observed would be helpful on my decision/ Thanks in advance.

Got out for a few hours NE wind kept it chilly and foggy on the water. Went 7 for 7 with the largest being just over 7 lbs. Only had 4 boards out and best color was a Rapala f9 SiIver/Chartreuse. The other colors were brown trout and in storm prism gold shiner, black/gold w/orange belly. We had one double and one when I was letting the line out. Forgot how much fun that is when your reaching for a planer and you get yank yank yank. Water temp was 37.5-36.8 depending on depth. Mostly stayed around 2-2.25 trolling. It was more of a shake down day and getting back into a rhythm. DEC was there checking boats and reminding people that you need a life jacket this time of year.

I am thinking of going out on Sunday for a shake down cruise and troll for a few browns. I have never launched there before usually go to the Oak or I-Bay. Is there anything to be aware of coming in or out of the channel? Thanks.

Thanks for the report. Sounds like a good day.
