Wondering the same

The smart battery chargers will select which battery type they are connected to. Hence smart charger. You can also select which type you are charging by the mode switch. I always charge on the lifepo4 10 to 20 amp. I'm also thinking of a solar charger so I won't have to keep taking it out of the boat

Bought both on Amazon

I switched to a lithium 100 ah 12 v for my Minkota 55 Power drive on my pontoon Use it mostly for trolling for Walley on local river. In light wind and current I can usually get two days of use . If breezy with moderate current I will recharge every day. If you go lithium invest in a lithium charger...

Fished just South of Westport today. Managed only one small Salmon. Marked most fish in 130 to 145 FOW down 60ft. Yellow green ladder back spoon on Dipsey out 180 2.2 to 2.4 SOG. No fleas but a lot of grass and weeds. Had to constantly clean lines. Saw several other boats in area . Saw one fish nett...

With all the recent rain what are lake conditions. Have heard lake is high. Is there much debris floating. Looking at a trip up the first weekend of August. It's a three hour ride from MA. so any info on conditions would be greatly appreciated. Looking at Port Henry to Westport mainly. Thanks Be saf...

Fished Tuesday from Port Henry to Westport. Had my grandson with me and was his first time to LC. Fleas were aweful and a PIA. Grandson had his first fish on by 9am and was over excited as he has never caught anything bigger than small bass. Fish hooked on a rigger down 75 over 80 fow. Had to keep c...

Got out for several hrs last Tuesday. Went 4 for 6 all Lakers Marked most bait and fish in 60 to 70 fow. All spoon bite. Best colors green and yellow mix. Fish came on riggers at 55 and slide divers at 75 to 90 out. All fish clean of Lamprey marks. Wind picked up and waves 2 plus so called it a Day....

Thanks for the tip. Did not realize that.

Thursday Nov. 3 Launched at first light from Crown Point. Headed North for deeper water and looking for Salmon. Setup in 60 fw with first rigger at 50 pulling small speedy shiner. Before we could set second rigger first one fires and line pulling out. Fish staying down and made several runs. Thought...

I have a 22 ft pontoon and think it's one of the best fishing platforms I've ever used . Have fished Champlain several times and very impressed with how it handles rough conditions. Made my own Downrigger mounts and has numerous rod holders. Plenty of open space for everyone to fish. I also have the...

Check your prop hub. My 90 Merc did same thing at idle. These hubs are made to wear and after time become loose and motor will vibrate.

Launched around 8:30 under Crown Point bridge. Surprisingly we were the only boat there. Cool and breezy but lake was calm. Setup up in front of Port Henry launch and headed South into Bullwaga Bay. First time I have fished the Bay. Set up in 20ft to 30 ft with two riggers and two in line plainers. ...

Still trying to get up to Champlain and try the new boat out.
Not real fussy on fish species. Is it worth trying the Port Henry area for Lakers or Salmon this time of year. ?

Thanks

Congratulations on your new boat. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I order the winbreak a month ago. Should be here any day. The downrigger brackets I made work great and are easly removable . Good luck and enjoy.
