  1. I have a noise issue with my CB radio. I had the same noise with it on my old boat and moved it to my new boat and it still makes noise. Whenever a fish finder is on it make a pulsing noise like the MIC trigger. If I turn the Sonar off it goes away. It’s like the antenna is picking up the sonar. Any thoughts?

  2. You don't need no stinking AP - you just need another set of hands in the boat to help drive - hint, hint.

    I remember a night with just you and me in the boat and we had three kings on all at the same time. We got them all in with no one driving the boat (ya I know how lucky we were).

    They say you loose a fishing buddy when he buys a boat. Seems like we just need to coordinate our outings better. Your boat or mine.

    I say spring for mine in shallow and yours later for going deep. The rumor is Sea Eagle will fish with big balls this year, with the help of some new electrics. LOL

  3. The reason I am posting this here was to avoid the great responses associated with the age old question of what downriggers to buy... I currently have Big Jon Manuals and not very happy with them. I would like to upgrade to electric anyways but not sure of what to consider. As far as my manual Big Jon's I do not care for the clutch system. It was very hard to tighten the clutch hard enough to prevent slippage. I use 10 lb balls so I am not sure why they don’t hold.....

    So my question is what do you like and dislike about your current downriggers?

    I am a weekend warrior that usually has one other person on board. What would you recommend?

    I would like to use 15 lb balls, what size can you run with your current downriggers?

    I would like to purchase a set of good used if anybody knows of a pair laying around somewhere.....if not I will buy new come spring time.

  4. Mike, I would love to take an afternoon and have you show me the ropes of tying flies. I will buy lunch:)

    Not too join un invited, but I would very interested in learning also. I live in Kalamazoo and be more then willing to head your way to learn some fly tying methods. Started fishing 2 years ago and want to learn anything I can.

  5. Went out at 7:00 and tried to fish the deeper 100+ water but was too rough with waves crashing over the bow. Came back in to work the much calmer mudd line and could not keep the lakers off. Was in 25 feet of the water and almost all 8 spoons took at least one laker. Time ran up and had to load and go. Finished 11 for 11 ALL LAKERS!! Two color lead caught over half of them.

    Being very new to this I am not sure why I could not get silver fish to bite only lakers.

  6. I would like to make an equipment improvement of some kind this spring. My question is what’s the bigger bang for the buck. I fish out of a 21' Trophy Cuddy usually with only two people sometimes three. Being only the second year my fish catching is only 2-3 per trip. So I am trying to decide what makes the most sense to go after first. Elec Downriggers, auto pilot, speed temp probe, Kicker Motor with digital control, or anything someone would suggest. Maybe I scrap these ideas and focus on baits and rides with others......
