X2 ! Worth watching.

The heavier line ( 30 lb) isn't much of a problem if you use a lighter longer leader. Typically, the fleas attach primarily to line that is near vertical ( eg. from the rod to the rigger release) and very little on horizontal segments ( eg. from release to lure). It is a compromise but it sure beats...

" Sea Flee" by Blood Run Tackle is another good option

Great videos to watch - even if it is the third or fourth time !!

Really nice job, Jeff ! I'm sure you will enjoy the boat even more now.

Keith, Check your grounds . Also, check your cables with an Ohm meter. Corrosion results in resistance and may lower the delivered voltage enough to cause a problem when the batteries are not fully charged. Cables less than three feet should not have more than 0.03 ohms. It is easy enough to check a...

I will be fishing both Lake Willoughby and Lake Seymour in Vermont this year. Let me know if you are interested.

Raz,

How do you access the poll ?

Happy New year everyone and thanks for sharing your fishing stories and advice.

Good health, Best of luck, and Tight lines in 2019

At Lake Ontario the fleas usually only latch on to the vertical lines down to the release. The horizontal line from the ball and the leader are usually pretty clean. I would use your standard leader and maybe run the lure a little farther back from the ball.

We fished Willoughby last Friday and Saturday . Great weather and the lake was mobbed on Saturday with skiers, kayaks and paddleboards. The water temp was in the 70's down to 35 feet. There were marks throughout the water column both early and late in the day, but the fish in the colder water weren'...

Just a question on the depth reading with the X4D . Is the depth calculated by the X4D PROBE as it does for the temp and the speed, or does the X4D TRANSDUCER determine the depth like a conventional transducer ? I ask because I usually get essentialy the same depth reading from both even though I'm ...

I will be on vacation in Addison and expect to have an open seat one or two of the days. Will probably be launching out of either Westport or Converse. If interested, PM me and let me know which days you are available.

Also glad to see they are now available locally in Mass at R & R in Belchertown.

Best of luck

Beautiful fish ! Merry Christmas, Matt.
