Scalloper 1

I bought 4 of these new this year 2 for riggers and 2 for leadcore. The two i just recently got for rigger rods are giving me trouble. I loaded them with 50 lb braid and 15 lb Big Game for a leader. The first trip out I had almost no drag with one of them. Yesterday I had almost no drag with both and no clicker while they were creeping out line. So bad I could not begin to load the rods. I messed with them and had a slight improvement of maybe 1.5-2 lbs of drag max. I went into my shop this morning to remove the line and return the reels.But, this morning both reels seeded to work fine. I am planing a trip to Lake O in August. I will try them again but I dont want any issues returning these if I drag my feet. I also am concerned they may not work properly when I go on my trip.

Have any of you had issues with new Accudepth reels? 

I did find a site that sells upgraded drag washers but I am reluctant to tear these new reels apart and chance voiding the warrentee 

Its everything I had hoped for and more. It gets up on plane very quick and its very efficient. So far I have 130 hrs on the main engine and 25-30 on the kicker. I had it 14 miles out in the ocean and it handled the seas perfectly. I have been pleased with the dealer. He did everything he said and for a fair price. I am taking it to Lake O August 9-12

I know the kings run up the rivers in the fall attempting to spawn and I see there are organizations that strip fish of their eggs for the hatchery. But are there naturally spawning king salmon in Lake O or is it all supported by stocking? 

My buddy is looking for a boat like this. Dave, I passed on your information. I will never own another glass boat.

I just bought a new 20' Duckworth. Wish I would have seen this steal.......

Download the Navionics app on your phone, just as good if not better maps than you will find on most mapping cards.

I have had Navionics for years. The "Fishing Hot Spots" was what I was referring to. It explains what different areas are called. Like the "shipping lane, the wall" as well as other fishing areas.

Is there a fishing chart that shows these areas? We have them on the east coast for the ocean.

Also make sure the motor turns freely if not it will cause all kinds of issues.

If you real serious use only single hooks for starters.

I have 6 of there reels. The drags IMO are some of the best but on two of them the drags are not working at all. They have not been used in a few years is there something I can do to get them operating properly?

So I was thinking put one bait out say 20' off the ball then set the stacker out 10-15' hook up the Buds then let out 15-20' of line and stack that one just above the ball.The "Stacker" with BudsDiver without the weight should go out 10-15 feet out from the ball

Could they be used as a stacker on a rigger to get the top bait out away from the bottom bait while fishing bottom for lakers?

The salmon in the picture looks to be farm raised out of Maine or Atlantic Canada

I am just wondering why I have not read or seen anyone use them considering they have been out for 6-7 years.

How often do you use them and would you recommend trying 1-2?

I am willing to bet its safer then eating at McDonalds

Any of you use them? I watched a few videos on them yesterday but they were all from 6 years ago. I could see their advantage

I have only read about ion fishing but until now I have never had the ability to adjust the ion settings. Any tips on where to start and what I should be looking for as in to much or to little?

When it gets to the point that you put lip-stic and eye liner on your down rigger weight I agree you may want to think about going fishing 

I bought two Cannon Diggi-Troll 10 TS and I need a relay cable to link the two together. Cannon is telling me that the cable has been discontinued. I was quite surprised Cannon does not support their products. So if any of you have one I am in the market.

I agree. If you avoid people and are feeling fine then how is that harming anything. Thanks for the report.
