Even those fish from 2000 are smaller than the mid 90’s . Maybe it is cyclical Lake Michigan is seeing a renaissance of size and numbers. -
Thanks, I am torn. Like the simplicity of the depth raider set up and additional transducers. I use 10lb sharks, hopefully they are heavy enough,
-
The browns are running 20lb in WI as well with kings sizes going back up again. WI seems to be doing something right,
-
I think he is referring to people who liberally let hundreds of feet of line out behind and to the side of the boat. -
I tend to use lighter line when possible and fish because I enjoy it. Starting to put together some weighted steel sets and wondered if it is fun to catch fish on them. Is a 300 copper or weighted steel fun or is it reeling is “dead” weight. Curious on your thoughts before investing the funds. Thanks.
-
People are using much heavier line, perhaps the larger kings are becoming wary of higher LB test.
-
We came out every summer for close to a decade and did nit get 40’s each year but always got numerous mid 30’s. That is why we made the trip. It was consistent numbers of large fish.

The precision from steering from bow vs stern is pretty impactful. You can link your sonar/gps to TM and have a great set up. Likely if it is too rough to use a longer shafted TM might be too rough to use any autopilot on smaller boat. I am totally jazzed garmin came out with long shafted TM and blue tooth connection to sonar/gps for nav and sonar.

It was fun back then. We would fish off point breeze for a week in July and recall the salmon weighting 28-42lbs one trip. Visiting from Lake Michigan it was a huge trip for us . Seems currently Lake Michigan has the bigger kings,
-
Thanks, what weight ball?
-
Thanks, that makes sense. I just wasn’t sure since the FH probe I believe Is bigger if that impacted it.
-
Seems both have their pros and cons, but ultimately which one has more blow back all else being equal? Thanks
-
Thanks
-
thanks, I have saltist for all my reel’s except these I am setting up. Is 200 considered longer? I don’t want to set up a high speed if it is a tough experience to use it. Appreciate the insight.
-
Same discussions we had in the 80’s and 90’s. Just more expensive equipment being lost.
-
Thanks, I read it can be difficult to mess with, so appreciate it.
-
Can you reel leader, steel or copper , backing to find right amounts like leadcore, then reverse back onto another reel? They are expensive so figured I would ask first;-)

Weighted Steel - Special thanks to Russell at Anglers Avenue
BRsnow replied to vetting's topic in Tackle and Techniques
Older post but I was curious how the sealines have held up? -
Going to either set up a 200 weighted steel or 32lb copper, can get a deal on sealine for 1/2 the precise of seagate. Likely only used a couple weeks a year, Is the sea gate worth double? What size is needed. Thank you

Rigger Release Tension
BRsnow replied to java's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Michigan angler heavy bands break at 5-6lb might be able to see small fish and still be heavy enough for bigger fish or deep water. -
I just received a pair as well. The craftsmanship is something else. I ordered booms to make 37”. The machining exceeded my expectations and so far impressed with the product.
-
You also really need to be a people person, regardless of how big your boat is it can get pretty small with people on board.
-
Thank you.
-
Going to run these koakanee out if a small boat, how light of rod can I use and still make it sorta fun to reel one in? Also any specific rod recs would be great. Wa think the 8’3” ugly stick Thanks

Just to update Garmin’s response on P66 and UHD, they are shown as not compatible because you lose the speed feature, it will not track. Of no consequence to me, but wanted to share the response.
