    If someone is on a charter and wants to keep their fish then I completely understand. Me and a buddy went on a charter 3 years ago and my buddy doesn't eat fish so he had the mate release two. When the captain looked in the cooler and saw that there were 3 fish less then we landed he asked what happened to the other fish. The mate said he didn't want to keep any so he let them go. The captain was quite upset. I understand that not all charter boats are the same but it did seem odd most will keep small 20' kings just to box out. There is a argument on fish survivability with warm waters and deeply hooked fish, I get it. But as a 35 year commercial fisherman I also understand if you want to release a fish it has far better chances in the lake then it would in the cooler.

    I have been on a few charters on LO and fished it out of my own boat for years. I was always surprised whith the lack of CR. As a matter of fact it seems to be the complete opposite where many charter boats keep every legal fish just to box out and head to the doct early. Even if some of the salmon are 20" or less. This makes 0 since to me when that fish will get to be 15+ lbs in another year or so.

    I do only run 1 per side but man, if it doesn't release its difficult to tell if you are putting to much pressure on the fish/leader. And when it does release they track right behind the boat vs plane on top of my dipsys.

    Yes I am. I dont have the large O-ring I mounted it as Offshore recommended. Thanks

    I have been trying to get the SST Pro Mag Offshore boards to release smoothly while trolling 350 copper. I even bought the proper release for the braid but they continue to hang up 70% of the time. I have watched several Youtube videos but after several weeks I still cant get them to release consistently. Any tips?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Bill Saffis catches as many as anyone and more then most and none of his boats have them.

    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.

    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.

    Is it something you use often?

    Do any of you troll using the black 12 oz torpedo weights off of boards to fish 60-70' down?
  18. Scalloper 1
    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.

    I know a great mechanic in Fairhaven if thats close to you.
  22. Scalloper 1
    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.
  23. Scalloper 1
    The boat also has autopilot.
