What happened to my bribe I gave you Kevin???? O well at least it will help get DouG out of the doghouse for running away to see all of us at Lak Air. Thanks again for the time and the effort you and all of the volunteers put in the Walleye program. Art

Happy Birthday Chuck I hope you have a fun day and a great year. Art

Thanks for all of the fun folks we had a blast and have arrived home after 750 miles and 12 1/2 hours of driving. Unpacking can wait till tommorrow and a good scrubbin of the boat is in order to get all of the pike slime out of it. Art

Yea I know another fisherman who can only catch fish when their are no witnesses...... I still think Roy and Glen are fishin with dynomite. Very nice trip thanks for the pictures. Art

Glad to see you are on the road to recovery. Does this mean we will not see you at lak air this year??? Art

This is a vinegar based salsa that is not overpowering . 3 tomato's seeded, chopped, strainer rinsed and patted dry. 1 large onion chopped 2 plum sized Timoteo's ( optional green mexican type vegetable) 1- 4 oz fresh cilantros, minced add to taste preference. 1/2 oz of minced chipolta if you want it spicy but try it without first. 1 oz lemon juice mix together and add to above for desired liquid content 3 oz apple vinegar set for at least 3 hours or overnight for flavor to blend.

Dont worry Dawg we got a few extra lures iffnn you need em. When you boil them Crawfish add a few lemons and a few cloves of garlic. That boiled Garlic is out of this world good eatten. Art

Just a thought but some of your depth finders need to have the power button held for up to 2 seconds before it will come on. The S plug has a few holes or prongs that are on the cable side. Since the only power it needs is for the unit one of the plugs will be 12 volts. Take a volt tester and ground one end to a known good ground and touch all of the holes or pins if you do not get 12 volts then you have a problem with the feed. Then you get to trace the wire if you do have 12 volts then you have a bad plug or depth finder. Art

Great...... an impatient redneck and he still has 5 more days to go. Why don't you go get a sack of crawfish and trim their toenails???? or see how long you can make a possum play possum before he gets up and leaves???? that should keep him busy for awhile. Art

A what the hey I will be the devils voice. While I have a bowmount cable assy I find that I need to use a leaning post while using it to keep my balance since I am standing on one leg. I have found that after a long day of being on one leg the leg is tireder than the other leg and when I get back to the dock I walk in circles. The Grey Goose has a hand bow mount unit that after you set the speed you can steer with your legs it is nice but was a pain to keep reaching down to adjust the speed. I installed a BIG FOOT switch on the floor to turn it on and off and it is a very nice motor to fish with the next time my Cable motor breaks I think I will go with a hand bow mount with a floor switch or a recessed foot controler so I can have both feet on the floor. Art

Just as long as we all stick together and have the same story we might get away with it. Art

Thanks to Skiel and Lorne for the material. Very nice work as usual Chris I will be suprised if you have any fingertips left after all of the charity rods you have built the past few years. Art

To heck with the fish get the turtle thats some good stew right their at your feet Carol. Art

Hey Lew it sounds like the speed controller overheated inside of the epoxy block were the electronics live. The reason the circuit breaker did not trip is it was not pulling over 50 amps . The speed controller when set on low cuts the amps to the motor and needed to do something with the excessive amperage so it turns it into heat....... Call the tech they can possible send you the speed controller if it is a seperate unit from the other part of the foot controller. I am not familiar with the Motor guide units but the Minn Kota was about $150.00 and was available seperate. Art

Talk about a ghost from the past. Afrter all this time working you still havent raised the coin for a faster connection??? I would send you a quarter to help but it would cost me a dollar to do it. Hope you can make it to lake air. Art

now I aint one to say anything (blaitent lie) but is that a nitestand next to the masterbed they are sitting on John????? Art

Tom is some pretty stout material but if we finish him off before we leave I guess we can look up our old buddy The Craftyprince. Hey Glen bring 2 bottles of shine I think we got us another volunteer to amuse us if the fishin is slow. Art

I got you covered on the white shirt Tom I have a few extra for people who fish in the boat. Art

You can also fish for them man style....... Just put on the short pants and go wading in the stagnent water your legs will be covered in no time. Art

nice report and great fishing. Art

I have the lms 525 dumb ass on the big boat because it is an aluminum hardtop that an internal could not get a signal thru. the installation is only slightly different with you needing to drill a hole thru the area below the antenna then run the cord to the back of the monitor. The dual freq is a no brainer get them both if you plan on learning how to read the bottom for texture and hardness. One note though even though the 5" screen 525 has the ability to hook up radar the unit can only display radar it will not split screen until you get to the x27 or 28 unit. All in all it is one of the best units for the money. Art

nice fish thanks for putting her back in the water. Fish that size deserve to go forth and multiply. Art

Remove the switch and omh the switch from pole to pole in the on position you will get a reading close to no resistance. Then test on the DC setting from the wires you unplugged from the wire to the ground one should read 12 volts one should not read anything. If the 12 volts are present and the other wire does not read then short the two wires together and the pump should run if it does replace switch. Art

I am sorry you and your buddy have to split thanks for taking the time to find him a great home. Art

If it will keep me from seeing you in your boxer shorts I will bring you a spool of your favorite line. The only catch is it will be delivered at Lak Air. Send a PM with the poundage and type of line you use if you are going to make it to Lak Air. Nice fish glad to see you are getting out to the water. Art
