I charge mine with my deep cycle battery charger on the 2A setting. Works fine so far. Going on my 5th season this year. I use it all winter, and a few times in summer when I need a portable unit. I also run my running lights on my boat off the smaller battery in the fall for duck hunting so I don't have to drag around my big battery for no reason. Works great. S.

I haven't seen a proper winter storm in years. So its going to snow a little, maybe a bit of rain, and worst case, freezing rain. No big deal. What is with the weather guys.....they hype up all these minor systems to make people think its going to be the storm of the century. Drives me NUTS!! Kinda like Sandy. So we got a bit of wind, and some rain.....wow....that was scary. Good thing everyone went out and bought generators and stocked up on food for a week. What a joke!! I'll believe the weather when I see it. Until then, I can only use it as a guideline on where I'm going to hunt or fish that particualar day. S.

I replace the blades on my manual auger every year, whether they need them or not. They're not expensive. You can get a set for pretty much any auger for less than $30. There is nothing worse than an auger that won't cut....just get the new blades. You won't regret it! S.

There is a big difference between needs, and wants. Do you really think that big graph catches more fish?? I doubt it. It may help find them, but the angler still has to know how to catch them. P.S....my little 5" lowrance will mark the exact same fish as the 10" screen S.

Thanks, I found the archives and watched the other videos as well. Great job. I will continue to follow these. Much better than the standard "fishing shows" on Tv. S.

Keep on rockin Bushart! Neil is one of my all time fav's. I can put 6 discs of him in my car and drive for months without taking them out! Love it! S.

There is no NF in the title...... .......just sayin.

I must be missing something. The video I just watched was great, I enjoyed it, but there were no muskies involved. How do I get to the musky vid? Anyways, the gill netting video was great. Very interesting, indeed. Keep them coming. I enjoy this type of thing over an actual fishing show any day. Good stuff, Marc. Keep them coming! S.

I usually just freeze some blocks of lake water, and put them in my cooler full of minnows. Works great. Keeps the water cool, and adds new 02 to the water. Shiners require more help, but dace will live in a water bottle for a week, no problem. S.

Wow....not only sturgeon, but DEAD sturgeon. Nice. Its amazing what people can get away with. I don't have the balls to even try it. My fishing/hunting license is worth waaaaaaaaaaaay more to me than a couple fish/birds/mammals. S.

What I don't understand is how the gas stations local to me, have NO ETHANOL, if its regulated that they have to have a certain percentage?? I tried to get the gas station owner to explain it to me, but he doesn't even understand. Clearly, ethanol free gas is out there and available from somewhere. Is it just my area, or what? S.

With shiners, you have to keep that water COLD! S.

Yep, for sure. Versitile too. I love pulling out of the trail, covered in mud, then pulling up beside some young punk who thinks he has a chance LOL. I try not to do any of that anymore, but its a lot of fun to drive. Even tows my boat around no problem. S.

No, I have an '04 Forester XT. Same stuff, different pile I guess. Essentially, you are right though. Mileage sucks on them all, but fun to drive If my mileage was any worse, I would get rid of it!! I'm getting about 450km/60L tank right now. It gets a little better on a long highway drive, but not much. Most of my daily driving is country roads doing 100km/hr for the most part. No stop/go for me. I'm not into tuning this engine. I already blew one up 60K on this new one, so far so good, but I don't pound on it like I did the other one. S.

Take it baack for sure. I'm assuming you've done all that has been mentioned. Gas on, choked it, kill switch not on etc. Is it fuel injected, or carbed? S.

Hey Shaun, if you go south down 35, the gas station in pontypool is all ethanol free. Pontypool, millbrook, and bethany are all ethanol free. Regular, mid grad, and premium. I run this in my outboard, but still prefer the V-power in my car. S.

Thank you. Someone finally said it. There is no need for the fancy gear. If a guy knows how to catch fish, he will catch fish with what he has. Period. Experience will trump fancy gear EVERY time. S.

Nice sled. You will have tons of fun on it. I hope and pray you never get stuck, cause you aint getting that thing out!! Its a BEAST for sure! S.

^^ I get an additional 100-150km per 60L tank of fuel EVERY time with the V-power. (depending how heavy my foot is and where I'm going) If I can't get it, and fill up with petro, or whatever (ethanol)......I notice the difference in my mileage after the first 100km. Its worth it for me to run premium. It costs me $4-5 per tank more to fill up, but I get a lot more miles out of it. I only learned this because my car has a high compression, turbo engine. The manufacturer recommends the premium fuel, or I'd never touch the stuff. This is also how I learned about V-power having NO ethanol. Its a fact. Another thing, If I fill up with premium with no ethanol from my local gas station (no ethanol in any of their gas) I also get better mileage. As soon as I put corn gas in it, my mileage sucks :asshat:ass , and the car just seems slow. This is just in my experience. I have no scientific facts to back any of this up, but I have been keeping a very detailed record of my mileage for the last 5 years, and it all adds up. This is why I run it in my 2 strokes too. P.S.... I've never had a fuel related issue in my life. Never, ever. Before ethanol, I would use the same old crappy gas from the fall, in my outboard, in the spring, and have never had an issue. No stablilizer, no seafoam, nothing. When ethanol came out, I had problems with my engine sputtering at full throttle. I changed the gas line, and it went away, so I took the line apart, and found the inside of it was mushy and deteriorated. I then checked my fuel filter, and found pieces of my fuel line in the filter. I changed the line, and haven't had an issue since. I blame it on ethanol in my gas. I won't run it in anything I own unless I have no choice, and even then, I get just enough to get me where I need to go. S.

4 good snow tires, and 5-600lbs of weight in the back might help, but I don't know how well with that system!! S.

Ah....yet another GIMMICK for stupid people! LOVELY!!

Simple is always better. A lot of you guys would laugh at some of my gear. P.S....its not the gear that catches the fish, its the operator! S.

Didn't you have a bunch of engine trouble last year, or the year before??

You don't have that corn gas up there though, do you? S.

My engine doesn't even have one. The throttle will back off, and it will spin in circles though..... S.
