    Downrigger install

    So I've got this crazy idea that I'm going to use my ar195 for salmon fishing in the Pacific NW this summer. Has anyone found a decent way to install a downrigger either behind or attached to the tower?

    downrigger mount on tower rod holder

    I agree with @FSH 210 Sport on adding rod holders in the gunnel. They can hold a downrigger, a rod with dipsy divers and even a grill to catch and cook on the water. We use a rod holder to mount a grill on our sailboat. I mounted downriggers on swivel bases on the gunnel of our Whaler.

    Both downriggers, also you have it listed as $400 each or $850 for both. Is that a typo ?

    Slow Boating Year

    May rig up a downrigger to do some late summer/fall salmon fishing. What I should do is take my laptop and just start working all day on the lake, at least I will get out.

    downrigger mount on tower rod holder

    My suggestion would be to add a 30° rod holder on each cap rail so you could put a down rigger on either side, or run two down riggers. While I did not look reeeeely hard I could not find a zero degree “gimbal” mount, only those made for the 30° rod holders. I get not wanting to drill a big...

    Mounting downrigger to 190 fsh ?

    Made stainless 90 degree gimbals but the rod holders keep breaking because they are made of plastic. Any suggestions?

    Fishing Rods, Reels, downriggers, gear and a refit of a1985 Whaler for fishing

    I will start by saying I started fishing as a youngster in the 60's. I had a little Zebco as a kid and fished where ever I found water for brookies to bullpout. I later upgraded to Shakeapere rod with Mitchell Garcia spinning reel and have used spinning reels since. We stopped by Dick's Sporting...

    We bought a cheap boat, but we now have to B.O.A.T.

    Wife wanted to run two downriggers so both of us could fish deep. She surprised me with this one that was waiting for us when we got back from Lake Willoughby. https://scotty.com/product/no-1085-strongarm-downrigger-30/ Got it mounted pretty quickly yesterday pm. A couple of pics.

    Fishing Rods, Reels, downriggers, gear and a refit of a1985 Whaler for fishing

    We needed more gear to run two downriggers and two dipsy divers or top water trolling lures. And I needed to replace a dipsy diver rig screw up offered to Poseidon on Fridays outing. We went to Dick’s for these Ocuma line counter reels. And rods, another Ugly stick (Tiger) 8' and...

    Any feedback on this HawkEye Fishpod 5x or the Garmin Striker Castable??? Wife put it on her xmas list.

    ...vid isn’t casting it very far. It’s a novel idea though. I was thinking of getting one of those hawkeye temp gauges that hook onto the downrigger(?) to check water temp at different depths. A neighbor of mine swears by it for Salmon fishing. For the money, the Garmin looks like the way...

    Downrigger install

    When (I am thinking positive) I get delivery of my FSH 255 I am going to mount 2 Scotty electric downriggers on the gunwales. I have fished with downriggers for the last 40 years, most of the time at Lake Powell, or Flaming Gorge. Now that I live in Porter, TX I am looking forward to some new...
