Mine is 12 volt since it is only a 16 foot boat, but it should work with 24 or 36 volt systems. If your boat already has a foot pedal, the hand held controller would talk to the trolling motor head...

I have a Minn-Kota with I-pilot and love it. I can set a course and speed which is handy when fighting a fish by myself. The remote allows me to make adjustments from anywhere in the boat. I think...

Has anyone tried hooking up a solar charger to the battery for their trolling motor while they are on the water? I am only using a single 12 volt battery, and can normally get a whole day of fishing...

Even if there is a pretty thick piece of plywood underneath, I would be concerned about mounting the downriggers with just screws. If you use a 10 pound ball, and extend the boom even a little, that...

I have not used them, but they might be worth a try. They are not that expensive. Let us know if you try them.

We fished Ririe today from about 8 am to 5 pm. It was windy and the smoke was miserable. Water temp was 70 F. It was so hazy, I tried using using gold and darker colors when silver and brighter...

Bduck, most of my fishing is at "non-destination" locations like Ririe and Palisades. There does seem to be a slight increase in fishing boats. What I seem to see more of than previous years are...

I fished Ririe today from around 9 am until 12:30. I would have liked to make an earlier start, but it was not meant to be since it is a 2 hour drive for me. I ended up with 6 kokanee, most were...

Smokepoles, after reading your story, I feel pretty lucky. I hope you do better when you go back to get the boat.

That is pretty much the experience we had on the Utah side about 2 weeks ago. We fished out of Cedar Springs, 2 days with a guide and 1 day on our own. We caught 3 kokanee, one lake trout pup, and...

Four of us decided to try our luck at Ririe on the 9th from 9:00 to 3:00. It was too windy to fish the open water near the dam most of the day. We fished around the Floating outhouse where it is...

I will look for you next time I am on Ririe. Sounds like you have been doing well!

I have noticed sometimes I will catch them going with the wind and get nothing against the wind or vice versa. I think that might be that I tend to zig zag more into the wind. Now you have me...

Good luck. Let us know how you do. Fontenelle is on my list of places to try.

I normally start with a Shrimp/Krill Anise scent. If that does not work, I try others. Lots of times I never need to try anything else.

Three of us fished Ririe today. Ended up with 18 in the boat. All but 2 were 13-14". We lost a couple of nice ones at the boat. Dodgers and hoochies seemed to work best. We caught some on orange,...

Hopefully we can figure them out next time. That is the challenge. laugh hyst

Two of us fished Ririe from around 9:30 to 5:30. We started near the dam and trolled 2 flat lines and two DR lines at around 20 feet. We did not mark any fish and did not get any bites, so we...

Nice work. Now is the time to get things ready for next spring!

Thanks for sharing. Seeing what others are doing in the off season helps.

Nice work. Is that mild steel?

I have had some luck with Kokabow Dodger in "Blue Back". It looks a little like a kokanee. It is not my favorite, but I have caught fish on it.

Thanks. I have learned a lot on this forum and try to pay it forward by sharing reports with others.

A friend and I fished Ririe Reservoir today. I ended up keeping 10 kokanee, all except one between 11 and 12 inches. The biggest was just under 15 inches, a nice fish this year. My friend kept 12...

It can get hectic when I am by myself, but the I-pilot on my trolling motor helps a lot. I can focus on the 'riggers while the I-Pilot maintains my course. Lately I have been fishing with a buddy,...
