Unless your lure is in the cone of the sonar, its kind of hard to really ascertain that. What you really want, if you are wanting to watch something behind the boat outside of the cone of your 2D sonar, is live sonar where you are shooting sonar in a horizontal direction. Such as Active Target, Live Scope, etc.

@@AFaO Thanks for the reply. Would love to have Live Scope!

@@hayesrutherford9415 If you want to see some footage of Live sonar pointed about 100' behind the boat, you can watch some of this footage I posted earlier. This is while trolling at ~2MPH for Salmon with a large 11" flasher and a spinner for a lure. You can see the full action of the flasher and spinner in the footage, including the fish coming up to the lure and looking at it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYaZn2x6n851nsU

Around 7MPH. Vary speed a little at first until we get bit and then maintain that speed. Usually swimbaits a little slower and clones a little faster.

Is this with the engine running? Or with the engine stopped? If when the engine is stopped, that is normal. The gears may not be in mesh and you need to slowly move the motor while shifting into gear (either forward or reverse). Do not force it into gear.

@@AFaO wow thank you so much. It’s with the engine off.

Like your teaching style. If you ever do a carb removal/cleaning on a Honda 9.9 please think about doing a video on that.

Thank you

Yes. And I've used it for over a year without an issue. I did move to a different rod holder because of using electric reels for offshore use and these Scotty's did not allow good clearance for the power cable on the Tanacoms. I'm am now using the Strikers series for that clearance which already has the stainless pin in the socket.

Reports over the weekend were amazing, including lots of Yellow tail and BFT caught off our coast. Amazing season so far

@@schiedler1978 The challenge is, many of the services are pulling from the same satellites, so they are dependent on the same clear sky for a good shot. The last few weeks we have had too much cloud cover to get a clear shot. In the past, I have used NANOOS since it was free. Using SatFish now as it has better tools and the HiDef Sat shots give you potentially a better shot by using multiple feeds from the same day.

Thank you

Thanks!

Normally, I have those spinning rods ear marked for jigging/casting with swimbait; but they were handy and casted out on this trip while trolling with swimbait. Remember, these are small Albacore here in Oregon/Washington...20 pound range. For bigger fish...yep, Conventional Lever Drag reel is the way to go. We just don't really have those up here. But on a bright note...since they are younger/smaller fish - they also have less mercury 🙂

Are you putting tension on the loop when you try to lock it in place? Put the loop on a nail, around a knob or something to put tension on it when you try to lock it into place. I have seen some small diameter mono difficult to lock into place. What you can try doing for those scenarios is to add another plait to the knot (i.e. take the loop through another time.

@@AFaO thanks, appreciate you taking the time to answer. I think the fault lies in this slippery co-polymer line I’ve got, it won’t even hold a clinch knot.

@@rodtalley1532 7 to 8 If I was using all swimbait, I would probably go a little slower

@@RoamAboutOutdoors hand lines 35’. Middle rods around 50. And the farthest/outside rods 75’ Shotgun rod at 100’

Hey Scott. I've heard guys go both ways on theories. But, if what you are doing is working...why change 🙂

@@AFaO agreed!

Thank you.

Here is a link for this specific model. amzn.to/3WCsQKc I would suggest doing a serial number lookup to make sure that this full kit covers your particular model. This kit does cover many years of BFP8 & BFP9.9 models...but I would suggest you look up the serial number to be 100% certain...unless you already know the full model number & revision, you can see that in the kit compatibility list.

Thank you for the kind words. Great to hear you had good success yesterday. And yesterday was a nice day to be on the ocean off the Oregon coast. Its was a flat ocean - I was out fishing yesterday too 🙂 Happy that the videos are helpful. I'm trying to figure out what additional content would be helpful. If you have any ideas, please let me know. Take care.

Thanks for the feedback and thank you for watching. Yes, on my more recent videos I have been trying to give more details. Any more suggestions on content or things you'd like to see, please let me know. Thanks!

Hi there. If I recall, it was 4700uF and 63VDC rating.

Thanks. But one of the joys I have is studying all the charts and the bathymetric charts and circling spots that I need to explore. Pretty much every spot I've got on my list of places to go are ones I explored and found myself. Yes, we all can go down to 3 Arches if out of LI or Johnson Rock if out of Newport, etc or go where someone gives you the 'numbers'. But its is satisfying when you study the charts and data and get a game plan and go explore. You'll find lots of spots that no one else is fishing. But if you share it on KZbin or via social media, you might be surprised to see a 100 of your close friends hanging out there the next time and you get muscled out of the spot you found 😀

@@AFaO Oh no I never exchange in public chat XD There is indeed so much joy in finding your own private spots. But I always help my friends out cause they return the favor haha. Love the content! You got a sub :)

On a boat or from shore?

From a boat. Will be going out this Friday.

@@rodtalley1532 Well, many of the folks starting out go down to 3 Arches. Its a long reef with plenty of area to explore. I would suggest subscribing to one of the Charting Apps like Navionics, C-Maps or TZ iboat - as they will show the shaded relief maps with good detail. It will be obvious when looking at the chart with Shaded Relief enabled, where all the structure is at. Its sounds from your post that you may not have go out of that port before. I would caution anyone if they have not experienced crossing this bar to either go out with an experienced captain who has navigated this bar or to take a guided trip to learn from an experienced captain. This bar can be VERY dangerous and has deteriorated because of sediment that has filled in the middle grounds and the south jetty has been severely damaged from storms. Ebb can be very dangerous. Going through the South and the middle grounds can be VERY dangerous and is NOT recommended. The only route out is through the North Hole marked with a buoy that has moved as an entrance buoy. Cutting the North Jetty too close, you can hit rocks as it is partially submerged for at least 100 yards past the visible jetty at low tide. Expect the Coast Guard to have bar restrictions with any swell of 5' or greater on this bar. Be very cautious. We've already had casualties on our coast this year from bar crossings. And for details on this bar, you can consult the OSMB flier. www.oregon.gov/osmb/forms-library/Documents/Publications/TillamookBar.pdf Have fun out there and be safe!
