  1. As some know LO has been producing great numbers for the last 2 months. Last friday and Saturday were on fire but Sunday in the weather and Monday and tuesday things seemed to cool down considerably. I am heading back from home here in Maine tomorrow for 10 days. Hopefully things pick back up.
  2. I first fish Lake O in 1996. Back then in the spring the streams were full of smelt. I am guessing the lack of higher quality smelt may be some of the reason for smaller kings.
  3. The boat is running charters every week. Stop buy and check it out. Owner may consider a 22-24' Aluminum boat in trade even if he would need to pay extra. He would like to trailer a smaller boat to the salt off and on.
  4. Bill Saffis catches as many as anyone and more then most and none of his boats have them.
  5. Accuracy is always important. So far I think that I wasted my money on this thing. I cant say it has put one extra fish in my boat mainly because its not accurate or consistent. The temp does seem to be accurate but for speed....... junk.
  6. There is a huge difference in the speed over ground vs what the FH transducer reads. I am talking about in a small lake in Maine with no current. Should I calibrate the FH transducer speed to match speed over ground from my GPS? Then set my probe down 4’ and set that to match the transducer and the GPS.
  7. Do any of you troll using the black 12 oz torpedo weights off of boards to fish 60-70' down?
  8. I would only add that you can use a small rod with 6-8lb test and clip that rod to the FH TD for retrieval. So clip the FH TD on the dipsy rod line then clip the small rod on to the FH and send it to the dipsy and reel it back in.
  9. I know a great mechanic in Fairhaven if thats close to you.
  10. If you can afford it you would be better off fixing all of those things. Not many want to buy a boat thats not running or has issues.
  11. The boat also has autopilot.
  12. In the water turn key ready to go.
  13. No trailer. The boat is to wide to trailer down the road without a permit.
  14. River herring aka alewives, have a completely different flavor then sea herring. Sea herring are full of fat and are far better eating.
  15. They are running thick here right now in the East Machias, Dennysville River, as well as a dozen others. Some areas are black with alewives.
  16. As a 33 year commercial fishing captain, on the ocean we like to look at the Marine forecasts from NOAA but more importantly we look at the current conditions at certain buoys (Buoy report) they update these conditions every 5 minutes. https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=osgn6&fbclid=IwAR16z9Whk9eWTGk_PsOm7hnQroO3vRWp1hYTN-JGyA_ObKP-vC0rsEJMKsQ https://forecast.weather.gov/shmrn.php?mz=loz044
  17. I have two of these reels that the clickers are not working. Where can I buy parts to fix these?
  18. A friend of mine is selling his 31’ Baha Cruiser sport fisherman with twin 351s with less then 300 hours on both engines and transmissions since rebuilt. Comes with all of the takel and gear. 3 Scottie riggers, 12-14 brown trout rods, 10-12 salmon rods, 1,800-2,000 spoons, extra Convector reels, 3 dipsy rods and tons of miscellaneous stuff. Everything needed for turn key charter. Slip in Fairhaven is paid for for the year. New batteries in 2023, carbs just got rebuilt and installed with 0 hours. $35,000 call or text (207)266-3040 for more information. Boat is located in Fairhaven
