Princecraft Pro 169 LX SC, 16'2" centerline 88" beam, Mercury FourStroke 60 hp ELPT, galvanized trailer, Minnkota Powerdrive V2 trolling motor, Humminbird fish finders, 3 pedestal seats, Sony marine stereo, trailer cover, bimini top, and more. A proper fishing boat for $6000.

You might want to consider the location of battery 1 relative to the anchor motor. If it is 14', you'll be looking at the cost of running 28' of heavy wire if you eliminate battery 2. Proper marine grade wire fitted with appropriate ends might cost more than the second battery.

Just a plain ordinary everyday Northern Pike.

Hardly seems worth the trouble. But, if you must, fabricate an aluminum plate and pop rivet in place.

May as well start with a braid. It's tough, will last several seasons, no problems with twisting. you can cast it a mile. Power Pro 15 - 20 lbs. Some might suggest a flourocarbon leader but that is more advanced.

Nice walleye. You must be on the Long Reach. There's no walleye in the Kilmarnock-Merrickville section.

You might be getting bitten off. Is the line end curled or straight? Straight indicates a bite-off.

Who would have thought that there would be walleye in the canal? Where would these fish overwinter? Are they a resident population, or just coming through the locks with the boat traffic?

Look in your own neighborhood. My son and I started in the Jock River.

Yeah, we do the same. That fish looks to be 30 - 32" very solid. Congrats to Ryan.

Geez! That's right across from our cottage. My wife's gonna freak when she sees this. We've had difficulty producing any real numbers for the last three weeks. Now we have a better idea where to look. Thanx, Justin.

That's a mighty good fish by anybody's standards. I'm going to stick my neck out here and guess you might be holding up your PB largemouth bass. Either way, congrats are in order.

Who needs muskie when the pike are that big. Nice fish!

Thanks for the advice. Nothing left of the wire at the transducer. Since it's a sealed unit, I'm assuming there's no way to get inside to rewire.

Anybody have any ideas about a removable transducer installation? Something durable, reliable, and easy to work. No wood or C clamps.
