NO for the last 27 years........but I only have a 50hp outboard...if it was a big boy motor like you're planning on I probably would have one.

But Roy.......what if he only back trolls all the time........

Great report.......GREAT PICTURES........THANKS FOR SHARING. Bob

Cityfisher brings up a very important point here if you're on a high traffic area.....my cousin had a cottage on Chautauqua Lake near the ferry....NEVER had a quite moment all summer long....boats, water skiers, jet bikes all day long....and then the guy next door would cut his grass at night with his riding lawn mower using it's headlight..... ....needless to say he sold it.

The Lowrance HDS internal antenna units are much improved over the LMS units....with the older LMS internal antennas, the unit needed to be many times upright....where some units installed in the dash at the bow were tilted and reception was a problem.

A friend and fellow fire fighter has a built in pool that the liner is shot.....he never repaired it but it still holds lots of water...years ago he put in some gold fish.....I believe they are KOI as the tails are very long....they are THRIVING in that pool with a population between 100-200 fish....guys go there and catch some for their own back yard small ponds each year...

Sorry you disagree.....but yes.....I do set cruise control for the speed limit on the 401 as I'm towing my boat always on that highway... As I have said several times before......I find too much merging in the right lane and with vehicles so close together it's difficult for them to merge in and out with a lot of traffic in the right lane....but, to each his own.. ....drive safe.....the life you save may be your own....

You shot first......I shoot more accurate..... Most of the I-90 here only has 2 lanes...... ....our crane needed a special permit to use most of the I-90.....Because of that we rarely used the NYS Thruway. I'm sure our Pettibone crane weighed more then a garbage truck as it was rigged to ride the rail also..... ....yes, I was also qualified to run the rail.....here one I like the best......

My driving record speaks for itself........NO ACCIDENTS since I started driving 41 years ago......I hold a Class A license in NYS with endorsements for tankers/passengers and piloted a 90 ton Pettibone Crane before I retired from the RR....much HEAVIER then any of those trucks on today's roads.

I believe the speed limit on the 401 is 100k.....not 120k....do you always break the law....do you also run red lights, stop signs......do you wear a seat belt....do you drink and drive......do you drive on unsafe tires....you may be everyone's pet peeve....

Where there are LOOOOOOONNNNGGG stretches of road with no exit/entrance ramps there tend to be only 2 lanes.......

How am I doing the speed limit, obeying the law, the problem....maybe it's drivers like you know who that are the problem..... The right lane is for merging traffic entering or exiting the highway....

Here's a sweet deal.......don't know of the built quality....... http://www.samsclub.com/sams/shop/product.jsp?productId=prod3920115

HATE driving the 401......worst drivers except NJ drivers....I get in the middle lane and set the cruise.....let all the idiots go by me.....don't like it....too bad... Hope this didn't ruin the special day for you and your family..... CONGRATULATIONS on the first lawyer in the family......may there be many more.....

Did you look at Ebay for a antenna..... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p4684.m570.l1313&_nkw=Raymarine+GPS+antenna&_sacat=0

Ice in June should be against the law......

On that VRO motor when the gas line is disconnected and the gas is run out of the carbs the computer senses that and starts to pump raw oil into the motor......so it could be that or fogging oil......both are normal.

More seat posts then a man should be able to choose from.......LOL>.... http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/browse/boating-boat-seats-pedestals-bases/_/N-1100617/Ns-CATEGORY_SEQ_104492880?WTz_l=SBC%253BMMcat104794380%3Bcat104705280

My 27 YEAR OLD Custom cover is just fine for trailering or mooring....but I no longer use it for mooring...(I let the poor bugger get rained on)..it has a rope that has bungy cords attached to snaps that keep it TIGHT all the time.....but I did have the canvas patched 2 years ago.....original cost $165......patch work an additional $85 (25 years later)......I guess I'm on the winning side of this game......

Paul........you and Mikey are making one good fishing team.......might have to pay you girls a visit....... ....keep up the good work.....looking forward to a better fishing report that is not a fly in outing.....but my money's on you girls right now.....

Smoking is really very easy.........you could make a smoker if need be out of a cardboard box believe it or not........ Just a couple of days ago I smoke some awesome salmon......real easy or I wouldn't do it....... Here's what "MY" smoker looks like but your "new" one might look all together different.... And here's some smoked ribs after a few hours on the smoker. Bottom line you don't need to have a commercial smoker....Charcoal is a great starter for your fire......I like hickory and or maple wood to smoke with.........if you want my fish brine or my dry rub for ribs....just PM me......... Good Smoking, Bob

I got it at Home Depot......it runs about $10..... How do you golf courses and ball diamonds control weeds......

This stuff works.....don't know if you can get it up there.......I found putting it in a fruit sprayer and doing the WHOLE lawn gets the best results....but it takes at least 2 weeks to kill those weeds.....sometimes a second application is necessary.... http://www.scotts.com/smg/catalog/productTemplate.jsp?proId=prod70214&itemId=cat50064&campaign=o-ps-google-wbg-CrpnChr-20120201
