Im fresh off of King salmon trolling and finally have a decent dipsy setup. So I have paddles, flasher flies, spoons, and meatrigs. All glow.

From what I've gathered. The tactic is usually trolling spoons in 50-70ft of water in July and find the bait piles, but I've heard of people getting some as shallow as 45ft in August.

What I'm looking for is what colours/lures work best and what depths I should be looking at in late summer.

Dont want to spend $1000+ on a console. Just looking to see if there are any apps that show live location and tracks paths and speed on a depth chart if possible.

I'm figuring this is something I will have to get custom made since I havent seen anyone weird enough to try it. The Benelli R1 barrel is tapped in 4 spots on the barrel, the muzzle and above the chamber, for adding iron sights. So installation should be easy enough.

The benelli R1 has a light weight barrel, which means after only 6-8 consecutive rounds it is already too hot to hold or touch. My main question is how effective it would be at dissipating the heat, would it make the barre cool down faster?

Edit: I'm also wondering if it will negatively affect barrel harmonics

So I decided to test out some of the lightest, cheapest target load out there on my mossberg 930. Picked up some challenger 7/8oz low brass target load for like $12/box. I shot a box and it fed flawlessly. My old man took it with him to the range and he said it was jamming so much with those target loads that it was like a bolt action. I decided to go through the last couple boxes to test it myself. Two boxes and not one misfeed with the same 7/8oz challengers.

I know this gun is gas operated and usually inertia guns can fall victim to misfeeds from an improper shoulder weld. But can this also happen with gas operated too?

Basically given up on finding long range spots near my hunting spots up north and I do have access on farm land but I'd rather not lose permission or have the cops called by aggravating their neighbours even if I'm doing it safely.

Picked up a burris fullfield 2-8x. Scope was clear and fine, holding a zero on my old gun. No issues.

I buy a new gun and give the gunsmith the scope with the rings on already to install it before they close. I take the gun to shoot and I see that it's clear on ONLY 4x. Adjusting the focus only makes either the image or reticle blurry.

It also does not hold a zero after 3-5 shots.

Did the gunsmith crush the tube?

Want a more accurate big game semi auto. So accuracy is key. I like the free floating barrel and (nearly) toolless takedown of the R1. But the BAR has more caliber options despite how much I am not a fan of their newer BARs.

This is in a 2022 tacoma. Using a huawei. Had no issues connecting android auto by cable before. Decided to dump money on this useless device that doesn't work no matter what I do.f
