I’m a licensed master 50 ton can you use another captain?

Might get out there early again this year. Some cold cold temps predicted over the next week or 2

Great information, cheers from Canada. Thanks for the share

Too bad your camera didn’t show things more close up so you actually could see what you did. Your preferences would not catch many lakers on Lake Superior. And think about using singles hooks on spoons and the tails of stick baits. They provide better hook ups with less spitting of the hook.

What size ball are you using on Flathead? Used to live in eastern MT fishing for walleyes on bottom bouncers, so I’m new to downriggers.

Quite the opposite. Great video but the line arc is not shown accurately. There will be a bow regardless of tension, but the line arc and associated extra line will naturally be minimized with greater tension, allowing faster hook sets.

I have used the electric and 1050 riggers for many years. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbjBedIFSQ6Y6rp8DrCC_aoWMZI8GUpmH I bought these lake trollers for my 15’ Grumman sport boat and they worked almost perfectly for fishing lake trout. The only negative is that they seemed sticky on the retrieval, so I removed the spool and greased the underside of the stainless steel plate with some lip balm (the only thing I could think to use that I had on the boat with me). Then they worked much more smoothly. I don’t recommend using these down riggers if you’re planning on fishing deeper than 50’ as you’ll spend more time cranking than you will fishing.

might want to ditch the drone while talking

Nice Raider boat!

When you get a fish on, do you stop moving forward and reel them in? Or do you just keep going?? I’m new to this and need all the information I can get

*We tried this out finally yesterday and it worked awesome! **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s we put it on our 16 foot aluminum boat and trolled with it. We didn’t catch anything but it was still fun and worked awesome! Can’t wait to use this baby again and hopefully reel in a big ole fish! Very easy to install and set up.*

Cool product

4 holes but where r u suppose to sit

Hi Mr Howe just curious not asking a specific spot but since you know peck well i was just wondering where a guy who is walking and not using transportation could get into walleye and lakers??? I don't mind walking its just a big lake not being able to shoot from spot to spot with a snow machine or atv. I would appreciate any and all info thanks! love the content!

Good video but it would be better without the background music or if it was quieter👍

Wow these things are definitely for somebody that already lives on a lake and wants to fish alone No room for my fishing buddy that won’t work

would be good to see the hinges and gear up close vs. from a distance

Do u ever use dead bait or cut bait

Hi pls get back anyways my grand parents have a cabin on the Polson side of flathead lake and we wanna do mack days but I'm asking are their macks on the Polson. Side of the lake pls get back soon

Can’t watch this sound is torture

Drone worked. Very good information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I was on the south end of the lake until 2010. Hundreds if not thousands of hours fishing solely on downriggers on the Flathead unless jigging for whitefish during their bite. Thank you for this, Mike. I learned a few things I didn't know, and I thought the bird's-eye from the drone was just exactly what it took to show a world class setup and process for trolling Macs. Very kind of you to share your professional expertise with us this way. Much appreciated.

Anyone else completely mesmerized by the kicker motor just going back n forth for no reason

What are you using for your kicker steering control ?

Too bad there isn't room for people!

How would you have anyone go with you? I mean you wouldn't have any room for 2 people to even have a seat they'd have to stand up the whole time they were on the water. And you definitely couldn't stay over night in one. I mean still neat little fishing shack. Just not for me

So... is anyone going to state the obvious light intrusion from under the house on the spear house? I could build 8 houses for the price of this one... $3500 dollars? Sorry , I miss calculated... I could build 7 maxed to the gills.

Wind will blow them right over

Too bad it’s so ugly lol

Great vid! We’re heading from Nebraska Next week to come chase down some Jumbos!

To much money for to little space

I'll keep my pop up that is insulated. Much bigger and I don't need to buy a new truck , trailer, and wheeler to own one.

Thing is like 3500 bucks...I'll keep my spear shack, and clam 2 man. Cool tho

looks good for a 1 man shanty

these things look sweet!

Great video guys! Can’t wait to get over there. I promise not to walk through your set up. LOL that was hilarious! Way to take it in stride.

Our lake has big perch but those are beauts....

Great video friend

Good looking boat and probably the information is good too but why don’t you show up close how to do this how much you like he’s just showing off and plus this annoying sound of his drone what the flip this is not professional

How deep does the ice get? I have a 2020 tracker 700 atv with tracks would that be ok to bring?

That noise 🖐🏽😬

Wonder if theres a audio filter to take out the drone noise?

Interesting. Thanks

Photography is worthless. Verbal instructions don't do anything for new users of downrigger. Show the connections up close. Watts of my time.

Gotta love big Windy!

Perch must be ok to release in deep water?

Dream trip, hopefully soon! Tks for vid

Is he talking over that drone?

Nice

Thanks for the video and information! Just returned from big windy. No disappointments! Chrome and blue were our colors, 30ft was the ticket. They also loved the salted shiners on a jig dead stick.
