Thank you all, one of the members contacted me and sold me two. good fishing this year.

Wow thanks for all the help, keep them coming.I am checking all recommendations today until the super bowl starts. Two riggers,yes they have auto stop and both put out the same voltage. I use the boat in fresh water fishing Kokanee and trout derby's. I have a 175 sport jet engine, but fish using a 9.9 pull start kicker, radio, two fishfinders/gps in 19 ft alum forward helm sled. I primarily fish fresh water, run rivers and crab in the bays.

hosteel; the boat must be in the water with the riggers in to get a good test. I test running the kicker with riggers down 1-2 mph.

I have scotty riggers and to date I have checked and cleaned all rigger connection's and clean my Zincs. Now heading under the dash looking for corroded hook ups and grounds. How about the radio where should it be grounded??

Should i have my downriggers grounded to my aluminum boat? I am putting out over 9.6 volts on my rigger cable.

I am looking for two used Big Jon planer board reels

Bill last july you had two BJ reels for sale, do yoi still have them?

Hi there! names Rick, I am from Southern Oregon. Live on the Rogue River a famous Salmon and Steelhead river here in Oregon. I run a small co. that builds Fishing Rods.( Rogue Rods) We build 270 plus models, build all our own Blanks everything is built in the U.S.A. I Hunt Blacktail deer, Elk, Blue & Ruff Grouse, Mountain & Valley Quail, ducks, geese. The Rogue has fantastic Steelhead fishing, both summer and winter runs. We are surronded by mountain Lakes 3000-5000 ft, with Rainbow, Browns, Kokanee, land locked king Salmon, Mackinaw,and Bull trout. I have been lurking on your board for a while now picking up tips on how you guys fish the Great Lakes, trying to improve my own skills with techniques not common here. It is amazing how techniques differ area to area for the same fish. Anyway looks like a good bunch of guys and I look forward to talking with all of you.
