Go to Crossroads and look at those front decks that I told you about. Or you could give me $3000 for my JD 332 diesel and have a good solid machine. I use that thing for grading it is so strong.

I had a client today that works in an executive capacity for one of our more well known professional fisherpersons here in Canada. I won't divulge his name as client confidentiality is important to me. I arrive at his home to do some installs and repairs, he greets me with 5 magazines, cookbook and a 4-pack of DVD's. I thought that was very nice of him, and I wanted to share it with you guys. This was the first time I had met the man and all I did was mention in our intial conversation that I enjoyed makeing fish laugh at me. Then he gives me this stuff, what a guy!

I second that motion! Clarence is a good guy.

That is EXACTLY the type of reply that makes this board great!

If you want it it is yours, PM Gerrit to get it

I wish that I was like you, and born with all knowledge required to do anything. The fellow asked for advice, there is no need to slam him, but the better response is to educate him. Jokco and Henry gave you some great advise follow that. As for the trolling motor plug, they should be availible from a marina as most maufacturers supply them for their paticular motors

Yep he is, what a guy!

Make sure that you show this to him. Us Dads don't always show it, but we LOVE appreciation. It shows us that we are doing our job right.

This was help in place by gravity. I should have no problem making another one out of a 2 x 4, won't be as pretty but it will work just as well.

When I have gotten the title of boat launch bozo, I launched at the grand river and forgot to take the transom saver off. It is now at the bottom of the Grand, I got soaked to the waist looking for the darn thing. As Homer says so well; DOH!

That new style pedal that I gave to that guy? If you can find a use for them, go for it. They will not work with my motor, *sigh*.

We want pics!

Is there anyone who is going to Lakair that lives near Big Cliff's place? If so, I would ask that you could pick up my weed wacker at Cliff's and bring it to Lakair and then give it to Spiel so that I can pick it up at his place. Thanks a lot!

Yes of course, fishing is very popular down there.....

Because they are hoping that the seatcovers in the other boat are comperable to the seatcovers in yours'.

No it is refered to as a "run for your lives screaming in terror of women"

Yes a good time was had by all! I did not realize you were not expectng me, as I had asked in the originial thread if it was convenient. Had you known I was coming, my heart couldn't have taken the sight of you all dolled up.....good thing for me. John, Beans does not have a good sense of balance, that is true. However, his low center of gravity does make up for it....

Be careful, don't you realize that this is a fishing board, and we live for high end gear????

That's easy just buy them at Red Lobster.....

That would be a very good idea, as the pointed bosses will wear a hole in the transom over time. Try to use some ash as it will take the wet conditions fairly well. Do not use PT (pressure treated) as it is corrosive.

Four teenage girls.....You have my condolences. I deal with that every day in my house, I feel your pain. Nothing worse than listening to the infectious laughter of a group of wound-up kids, almaost as bad as eating an ice-cream cone.

Don't trust Dave Mercer, he doesn't know very much about fish or fishing. Just hop in your boat and wander aimlessly around the lake, who knows you might get lucky! Look for the right structure, ambush points etc, and try there. Good luck!

I'm still waiting for Garry's secret that he promised us....

I see you have the $1.25 that I lost....

Sheer stupidity is why we have shear-pins on the prop shaft
