We are experiencing the same trends here in BC.

I have a 36lb, 100ah dakota LiFePO4 with a dedicated 10A charger that came with the battery. 1/2 the weight, twice the useable amp hours, 3 times the lifespan, 3-4x the cost. This article gives a good overview of what to expect and how to look after your new LiFePO4 battery. I will know in...

I have 4 Minn Kotas in various stages of deadness and 1 old motor guide that just keeps going with zero issues. I hope you have better luck with Minn Kota than I have had.

If you are trying to find fish, use the 77hz as it gives you a wider cone angle hence more searching power. Keep watching your video tutorials. Mastering your sounder WILL help put more fish in your net.

I share info freely among friends, relatively freely to fellow anglers who I deem as good guys, a holes get zippo. I too am in the radio crowd. Sharing intel just makes the day more interesting.

Only one boat that is perfect for everything? Good luck

I was fishing in a 12 ft tinnie off Vancouver Island when a submarine surfaced 1/4 mile or so away. That certainly caused some pucker action. The submerged tree is well and thoroughly water logged and would sink even further to the bottom if not embedded already. Are there any subs in your lake?

fat cat, 8ft inflatble avon, 12 foot pram, 1040, 14 ft springbok tinnie, 16 ft clacka and I got rid of a scadden sunrise. So, 6 "boats" in the fleet. The springbok gets the most use by far. The clacka used to get the most use but steelheading here on vancouver island is dreadful these days...

Niners, just to stick it to all the Hawks fans!

gunmetal or ASB with black or red rib, blue dunn with black rib, not a chromie

Those are the same indicators I use. I tend to use the orange ones.

I could care less about the cost, it is the inconvenience of using worn out indicators that either won't pop with a fish on because you have jammed the peg in too far or a wasted cast when the damn thing pops during the cast. When the bite is on time wasted frigging around with indicators costs...

I got the hose that I use from a buddy. He got it from a shutdown and reno at the local pulp mill. He said it was air hose. After some goggling this looks like the stuff I use

I suppose I lose a little buoyancy but it is negligible. I know I have given a few of my modified indicators to fishing buddies and they don't switch back to the unmodified ones once they have tried mine. Being able to consistently peg the indicator at the desired resistence where it survives...

I got tired of indicators not working properly as they stretched out so this is what I did Drill out your foam indicator/bobber and epoxy in a plastic sleeve. Coat the whole indicator with a clear coat such as epoxy ( extends the life of the orange paint exterior ). The peg fits in the...

I thought the same. Maybe a new paint job for the boat?

I have always used Lowrance sounders but all the big names are very similar in quality and features available. There are dozens if not hundreds of excellent tutorials on how to use any particular sounder. It is worth your time to watch a few videos to get the most out of your unit. If you are...

People talked to each other before the phone was invented and still do. Personally, I am glad many people either don't use sounders or don't know how to use the one they have.

My sentiments exactly. Why fish blind? The first step for me is always finding fish with the sounder then the fishing part begins. That being said, I see plenty of guys who just fish blind hoping for the best. Not surprisingly they often end up anchoring up beside me or somebody else with a...

As far as I can tell the specs are indeed identical. I have a lowe 1040. Nice enough little boat, very stable, makes a nice one man fishing platform, would be doable with two but rather crowded.
