  1. We use them at an organized hunt every year with no real issues. Don't expect to get clear signals in the jungle or over extremes in terrain, over the moutain to the next valley. In general we have no trouble, sometimes you have to mvoe a few feet, but that's about it. When you do your research, get the ones with the highest output wattage. Some are listed by distance, that's a gimmick, the ones I bought are 4 watt, I've seen models in the Cabela's magazine up to 5 watt now. Make sure you can replace the rechargeable batteries with "AA" types if the others die out. Mine also came with a 12VDC/120VAC charger.
  2. Now imagine if you went to the Orient and your name was Ron Mower. An aquaintence through work has a friend, Craven Moorehead.
  3. And if a girls last name is "Dyke", which way are you going to pronounce it? Ask that one in front of 24 students.
  4. I had a girl in my grade 10 english class, Jennifer Blows, she had 3 sisters...not going there..
  5. Sucking the water out to irrigate may well be part of the problem, again forced by profit. Can't grow enough, you loose. Too many people needing water in an arid area, well pretty soon you dry up the resource. Where does it end.
  6. Those wheel assemblies actually retract while fishing and power back down to get mobile, clearance I think is about 7 inches.
  7. You beter have a gas auger or eat lot of spinach tonight. Out there today, anywhere from 24-30+ inches. Couldn't believe when the auger almost bottomed out drilling the first hole.
  8. Just out of curiosity, where all those fishermen hairy with protruding eyebrows and knuckles dragging on the ground? You're hanging around with the wrong species.
  9. Well dang, learn something new every day, Thanks for the insight.
  10. Just looked at the flyer again, don't be rushin' out there tomorrow, it says, sale starts March 15-21
  11. Upside down cinnamon bums. Where's the icing??
  12. They are showing a gas auger in the picture, I can only assume it includes them...
  13. Just got next weeks CTC flyer, there's a 1/2 price sale on some ice fishing equipment, including some huts, augers, rods & reels, etc.
  14. There's a couple of variables in the equation, one being the battery capacity, the other being the charger max output. Most batteries should not be charged higher than the C/10 rate, or C=Battery capacity/divided by 10. Therefore a 100amp battery/10= max charging rate of 10 Amps. A much larger 200 amp battery can be charged at 20 amps, but for the lifespan of the battery, it is adviseable to do it at a lower rate. Sort of like a 200 lb man can eat 5 hamburgers, but don't try and jam them in all at once.
  15. Cats meow for running Fish finders, I can get at least 3-4 days of long use before having to recharge.
  16. Well then I guess I'll have to pizz on your parade, cause with your attitude, I suppose they should just give Joe DUI a slap onn the hand or maybe just $0.10 for a fine. What's the difference, follow the rules and nobody will even bother to look at you.
  17. I suppose that if the transom saver companies were to give away free samples to the "pros", then all of a sudden they would be the best thing since sliced bread. When they are properly installed and snug along with the boat being snug on the trailer, everything moves in usison, no banging around at all. I made my first one and then have a store bought model since '96, no damage to my motor or boat.
  18. So you're moaning that it was dead, nobody steppin on yer toes, gettin in yer way? Jeez, I'd look at that as a bonus, nobody coughing or sneezing in your face, bumpin and tying up the staff, long line up at the cash....
  19. Good point, but I wonder how much drag an oversize dipsy with a lure behind will create in comparison to alligator bait?
  20. Thank you Clamp-It, I'm sure you have just saved many curious people from wanting to taste weasel crap. Man, some of those countries...it would be like...picking corn out of _____and trying to make popcorn.
  21. I've got Scotty's on my boat, and had some 30lb salmon wail on them over the last 10 years, and yes, they are still in one piece. If they use them on the West coast for salmon a lot larger than the average musky, it leads me to believe they are good quality
  22. Snowstorms don't knock our houses over like tornados and hurricanes do, no thanks, I'll stay up here. You can always add clothes when you're cold, but when it's that hot, once you reach the b.day suit, you're in kaka, and I don't want to see any sweatho.....
  23. That's a pretty good description of a home version transom saver, mine started similar many years ago, a 2x6 was wide enough to make mine, carpet lined in the "V" end. I only travel with the motor up, no dings or road rash from flying or kicked up road debris on my lower end.
  24. Not the ones that are frozen, closed or where the fish are spawning.
