i can tell you which 50 not to buy... LOL

Acme Battery/Great Northern Battery on PArkdale... get a deep cycle

Fred is a great guy!! Been out with him many times and it's always a blast... Salmon rock, i told myself i'd never buy downriggers for the boat, My cousin and buddy went halfs on an electric for my b-day. We went out once caught 2 and that was it the salmon bug hit and a week later I had 4 electrics on the boat My boat hasn't seen water in over 3 years, yet i own 16 trolling setups

Yellow bird board suck... get offshores or Church boards if you get offshore boards and you're gonna run braid, upgrade to the OR18 front clip Dipsy's can be braid, mono or wire... if you're using braid, put some mono on as a shock absorber if you're using mono, check your release so that it's not too tight, reeling in an untripped dipsy sucks if you're using wire, use a snubber dipsy to lure leads should be max. the length of your rod (makes landing easier) use the clicker and loosen drag when letting dipsy out then tighten the drag back up... as for deploying stuff out... furthest back and shallowest out first ( furthest away from boat) (lead core/cores) then work your way in (dipsy/dipsys) least back and deepest last (closest to the boat) (riggers) I like to keep the chute (back of the boat)open, makes landing fish easier steer the boat so that the fish comes up the middle start off setting less lines until you're comfortable and fluent/efficient at it... then start running more lines out... just because you can have 4+ lines out, doesn't mean you have to... again, start off setting less lines until you're comfortable and fluent/efficient at it... then start running more lines out... boat control plays a huge issue when deploying... keep'er straight until all lines are out... also getting out with someone who know's what they're doing will also quickly speed up the learning curve running 8 lines is acutally pretty easy once you get used to it... Here's a simple 8 rod spread ( this is somewhat easily achievable on a smaller boat...) 2 off the planer boards 2 braid dipsys 2 wire dipsys 2 downriggers

Beauty!!!

I've used the 1 BillM listed... never had any issues and it's the first exit off the highway... very close

I need a bowmount...

I'm thinking about picking one up... Does anyone have one? Pros/Cons?

Andrea Bought me Maui Jim - Kapenas, they're amazing bronze lenses, pollarized for the $$ she spent, they'll never go in the boat!!

VRO is Garbage... save yourself the pain and disconnect it and manually mix the oil... Like Gerritt says, they're known to go, so just mix oil manually and never worry about it... sounds like a spun hub...

Oh Boy, there goes the neighborhood... LOL Welcome Mark

He offered, i took the hit cause we were out on his stag night celebrating his end... LOL

id say around 1000-1200...

my buddy borrowed a boat one day, i was driving it, realized we forgot the lifejackets in the car... sure enough there came the OPP, i got the $300 ticket, buddy got nothing

could be the transducer... a buddy of mine had the same issue, he replaced the transducer and all was well

great pics

Thanks Chris...

Nice job Wayne... Question though, why didn't you face the bow towards the front of the plane? wouldn't it be more aero dynamic?

It's Corn, but don't tell anyone... i don't want the word to get out on my secret bait... I don't believe that boilies work all that great down here unless you really dump alot of them in there... for me corn works best... i think i've only caught 1 carp on a boilie

No, I'm just waiting for you to call and say lets go trolling... don't worry i've got 10X the amount of salmon gear compared to carp gear

Got out yesterday with a buddy of mine to give the carp a go... tried Hammy Harbor - Froze like idiots for an hour and a half switched it up and went down to St. Catherines for the rest of the morning/afternoon... Landed my first carp of 09
