Posts: 223 Location: Minn. | Don S, do you use any type of black box to regulate voltage to the down rigger? Salmon, Lake Trout fisherman use it to correct downrigger cable voltages. It creates a positive field around the boat that can be helpful in attracting fish. A voltage reading to high or to low may repell fish. I know Great Lake fisherman use the Black box when trolling with downriggers. Could it be why the muskies don't hit some of your baits? I'm wondering myself as I set up my unit to record. I caught a 52" fish that was similar in shape as your video fish, very wide on the back all the way to the back fin . Mine didn"t look as long in the water as it was because of the wide back. Your video fish could be even longer than it looks.  | ||

| This is a great question, I have talked to some guys who swear by the voltage regulation with the black box for salmon. I fished with a guy from Egg harbor who uses one as well. However I have not used one yet. I will most likely try one this year. It would amaze me if they would go on other baits with the box, sure worth a try. Did you see my post on using the Sonar and GPS for setting up routes? If not I am posting it here again, be safe!! let me know when you get your first fish on film, what a blast !! I also attached a safety sheet that I typed up for a couple friends duplicating what I did.( bottom of page) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- previous post! I just wanted to make a post and explain how important it is to learn your routes with your GPS and sonar. Clip 1: I found this shoreline with points/ fingers sprawling off with a variety of depths. I marked a route and dove in, I got through but you can see what could have taken place.This takes some practice but even then be careful ! This is very effective but be careful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ALelca_ngY Clip 2: I have done this many times on many lakes, you see the weeds on the graph deeper than the eye can see. You can take the ball and camera and cruise over the top and check them out, maybe you will hit the cabbage honey hole. ( oh well not this time) This was at dark with a low battery but you can see what I am talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls42_mT3vXs Hope to see some new and educational footage this year.
