  1. Floater Suits and Snowmobiles

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    In the cold weather, even with the floater suite you only have a bit too get out of the water. Then once out of the water you need to find warmth fast.

     

    One of the problems with snow mobiles is by the time you realise you are on thin ice you are driving faster away from solid Ice and then the issue is if you go farther out is it going to get thicker or thiner.

     

    I would imagine most people would "Push Gas and GO" hoping for Solid ice. If it gets thiner and won't hold you own weight not going to help you in the long run.

     

    For the extra time a floater suite gives you its a must but it won't save you. If floater suits came in more "cool" colours maybe people might buy them. Most floater suits are bright colours to find you or your body quickly

  3. Boathouse Project...

    You know you are addicted to fishing when the criteria for purchasing a home is that it must have room to store a boat.

     

    LOL, thats what I tell my wife when she tells me she wants a bigger house.. I say fine I get a bigger boat make sure the house you want can hold the bigger boat.

     

    Then she asks me where I am getting the money for the bigger boat, and I ask her where she is getting the money for "her" bigger house :wallbash:

     

     

    Great Job, inside storage is so much better,

    He's usually open NYD, but I wouldn't give that guy a dime of your money. what a scammer. If its just bait your after, the guys will be open I think on the ice at Gilford. just my opinion.

     

    The price may be high but hate to get on the ICE and find Gilford is not open or out of minnows.

     

    Somtime you pay more for reliability :)

    Thanks for all the inputs guys,

     

    I bought a FinBoreIII 6" on recomendations from the guys here.

     

    I think, I will keep to the old hand power on this. Like Wayne said old Bob made it look easy on the LOTW but since they had the Snow Bear the must have kepts the batteries warm and charging.

     

    Good think I checked around to make sure,

     

    thanks guys

  18. Down rigging techniques

    Hey Wayne.

     

    When the water is clear I use a longer lead. 30' (this is my normal starting point)

    When the water is super clear I use up 100'

    When the water is murky I put it a couple feet of the ball.

     

    I could be wrong by its worked for me,. What I was told was the ball creates noise that the fish come to look at too clear they spook to murkey they come in close.

     

    Another consideration is the shorter the lead the less likley for a tangle when mutiple lines down

     

    food for thought

  20. yearly reel maintenance

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by LeXXington

    After a few years of service on mine, I open them up and make sure the mini-nuts and bolts are secure add small drop of marine greese and thats about it. oh, like the Guys said losen all the drag for the winter :)

     

    Look at it this way, if you maintained your reels too over perfection you would never need to buy a replacement now what fun would that be :)
