  1. Have fun getting 11 mpg with the Toyota. I would have bough another if they would just update that motor. Liked everything about my last tundra. Happy with my switch to ram. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Who are you to decide what someone keeps. If it’s not illegal then it’s not your place to judge. Maybe he wanted a meal. Maybe they don’t get to fish much. You don’t know and I find it rediculous that you feel the need to impose your opinion of conservation on him. There’s plenty of fish out there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Good deal, I’d like to re purpose some 8’ MH TDR’s. Or maybe if guides don’t matter so much I can pick up some new 7’ rods. I just haven’t been having any luck finding 7-8’ rods with stainless guides. I feel like shorter would be better for inside diver. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Not sure what your getting at? They have titanium oxide guides or stainless for their wire rods. I was asking if anyone uses aluminum oxide guides. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Want to add a couple wire line rods this year but am having a hard time finding shorter rods. I’d prefer 7’-8’. Can I use shimano tdr rods I have laying around with a twili tip? Guides are aluminum oxide. Or will they not hold up? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Sorry just saw I somehow posted to wrong section. Disregard and I’ll try to repost correctly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  8. They have their place and time. I’ve had good luck using them when I’m striper fishing live bait trolling about 1-1.5 mph. I’ll have planers on the side and a stern planer way back out the back. It is very stealthy and has way less resistance than a big bobber would. I’ve seen people use them on flat lines also to get them way behind the boat but keep the bait higher in water column in shallow water. Like most things their only limited by one’s imagination.

  9. I still don’t get it but I’m not a musky guy. I’ve had no issues hauling in mag dipseys or offshore mag boards with a 600a. Best of luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Please don’t take this the wrong way but is there a reason I would want to pay more for an old model 600lc than a new model tekota A 600lc? Is there something that’s better about them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Around here where there’s one grouse there’s usually more. Definitely not uncommon to empty a 3 round tube. I hunt with a Remington model 1100 in 28 ga. I grew up with them and it’s like a part of my body at this point. I just shoot it well. Don’t know your experience level but I definitely prefer the people I hunt with to have over under if there novice hunters. Safer for me and my dog. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Ahh, I was hoping you’d see this. Are you able to confirm the beam angle for those 3 chirp ranges? I will probably call you to order a new transducer anyway but this is for my own knowledge. I don’t understand why chirp would be bad unless you are sacrificing beam angle but according to humminbird I could potentially have more angle than a p66 and chirp should give better detail especially in the higher frequency ranges right?

  13. Ok so I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to figure out exactly what the cone angles of my transducer are. Humminbird site is full of contradictions and talked to their support and they were ZERO help. I run a solix 10 with the stock xm 14 hw msi t transducer. I use this a lot for inland lakes and am happy with it. This year I added a second solix CHO and after reading a lot on the forum I thought I was going to put a p66 on that one for big water trolling. I thought before I spend that money it would be nice to know the angles of my current transducer. It has narrow, wide and full options to chirp and those are the ones I’d like to know the beam angle of. Humminbird support was not sure but thought maybe it was narrow=20deg, full= 42deg and wide=60 deg. Chirp frequencies for these are 180-240, 150-220 and 140-200. If this is actually true, wouldn’t a p66 be a waste of money is I already have a similar or wider cone angle on full and wide modes? Also wouldn’t it be better separation and target resolution with the higher frequencies? Thanks for the help, I’ve made my winter goal to become much more proficient with my electronics and it’s hard when you don’t know what you got.

  14. Well I guess that’s pretty clear. Thanks for posting that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. It’s hard to tell by the wording but they might mean it only works with the cannon optimum and utilizes the one boat network to communicate the info between them. I’m not sure. It would be nice if it showed up on the solix but it wouldn’t be any benefit to me unless I could set my minn Kota cruise control to x4d down speed instead of gps speed. I guess if you had limited dash space you could mount x4d out of the way and just view on solix if it’s possible. On another note, if what I want to do is not possible, does anyone make a Bluetooth throttle control? I mean it seems like the next logical step forward now that the fishhawk is Bluetooth. Itroll Bluetooth would be awesome to set based on down speed and hunt mode. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Just wondering if anybody is running both of these. I have a question about using the x4d with the humminbird one boat network. The fishhawk website gives no info other than it can work with the humminbird one boat network and cannon optimums. If the x4d is paired say to my solix, does it put all the x4d data on the solix screen? And here is my wishful thinking but if it does put that data on the solix can I set min Kota cruise control to target the x4d speed instead of gps speed? That would be game changing for me.

  17. Never thought of hunting grouse with a lab. Always used them as flushers and retrievers. That’s pretty cool. I’ve had vizslas my whole life. Nothing like a versatile hunting dog. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. By far the best plug I’ve ever used. However I don’t remember it being this expensive when I bought it. Supply chain issue I guess, lol. Minn Kota 1865129 MKR-25 Trolling... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YYXTY99?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. You are definitely right about this site. Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. In case your still looking, Torpedo website has them. They were waiting on a shipment and I asked if they would notify me when they came in. They just did. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. I chase land locked stripers when alewife come in to shallow water to spawn earlier in the year. I assume they do something similar on the fingers? If so maybe that time of year would increase chances for better night fishing. Water temps would also be more conducive for predator fish higher in water column or in shallow.

  22. At least while catching bait. Lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. I’m not so worried about being at out at night. I actually do a lot of night fishing and have lights and proper safety/nav equipment. Just I’ve more focused on stripers and walleye. Sounds like most people don’t do it on fingers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. So I’ve been trying to get to Cayuga or Owasco for a while now. Can’t ever seem to get a full day to come up fishing. Was thinking about making the drive up one evening but was wondering if it’s worth trying to troll into the dark. Say 11 or 12 o’clock at night. I’ve never tried it. I’m just trying to justify all the driving hours to get some fishing in.Does anybody have any luck trolling at night for trout or salmon?If so how does the pattern change? Move in shallow? Fish higher in column? Maybe not troll at all? Switch to jigging or casting? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Even if it’s just telling me I’d be wasting my time. Thanks all Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. For some reason I have no pm’s. You can text me a 570-507-0925. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
