Hi all, Not sure if this is an issue or just my good luck. So, I've had my "new to me" boat in the water for the last two months and have been getting out fairly regularly. I caught some springs along the way, but they've all been on my side of the boat and my guest(s) have had just one hit where I was positive that it was a salmon. I've usually been fishing Sooke, and off of this (guest)rod, I've been running a Betsy gold flasher with a green glow 'chovy teaser or Cop Car Coyote. Depth has been varied beween 60-100 ft on the downriggers. If nothing else, this setup should be getting hit, at least periodically. But nothing like my side where I'm getting hit at least a couple of times per trip. Depending on who the guest is usually determines who's setting up the rods. I've been taking some newbes out lately, where I've been doing the set up, but do have a few friends that fish regularly and I let them work their side.
My question is: Is it probable that the voltage coming off of one side of the boat would be different than the other side? I haven't checked my volts yet, but do intend to in the near future, and haven't heard of this happening. From what I understand, it would be the same on both sides, otherwise a black box would have to differentiate between the two in order to stabalize at the required settings. I could be wrong, and I just don't know for sure.
Or maybe I could just put out something on their side that works.
Thanks,
