30 amp might be a little high for that unit. By the time the 30a blows, the overcurrent can do some damage. It probably has a 10A inline fuse. I would lean more towards a 15A for circuit protection. It would be easy to replace the 30 with a 15.

You might consider wiring it directly to the house battery. Of course you will want a fuse or circuit breaker for circuit protection. The radio's on/off switch should suffice.

Those 5 watt units don't transmit more than about 5 miles with a stubby antenna. A good antenna that is higher (about 6ft.) will get out further, but not much. The 25 watt units with a good and taller antenna will transmit much further.

It is a shame some folks are not able to use social media platforms constructively. That being said, it seems there are some quality catches being made in our area. I hope some folks chime in on their successes with where(general areas) and how it was done. As always, I hope some specific ...

Love the photos as usual. I'm glad you got on some fish, even though it wasn't the numbers what you had hoped for.

River fishing can be quite productive this time of year.

Which one, specifically, are you targeting?
