I did not realize sheephead could get that big! Well done!

Still trying for some wall...pickerel

Insert "Church Lady's" voice here: "Well isn't this special"

Yes, but only to those who deserve it.....

looks like it is skunk genocide congrads!

I am waiting for a certain very good looking, gracious generous, intelligent, all-round great gal to post the pics she took. I had my camera, but it was just rescued from the bilge and was not working. I recall that I did post that little nugget ofinfo in the original post......

He just rebuilt mine and it is as good as new. He may be able to fix yours.

I flew from BC to Hamiltonvia westjet with a 2 piece 10'6" with no problems at all. Just pack it in a piece of 2" diameter poly pipe cut to the right length with padded caps on each end. It will go on the aircraft as oversize luggage. If you are on a small carrier I would suggest asking them.

I was on the Grand......again.....trying to get the skunk out of my boat. I am drifting down the river, when the fishfinder starts to beep, and beep , and BEEP! The screen was covered in fish symbols, however I had seen this before many times. Ho-hum. Then a light tug, another light tug and then the rod bends significantly. Hmmmm, "I think I may have a fish on", says Captain obvious , then the rod bends in half and I hear the sweet sound of drag being pulled. After about 3 minutesI have the fish by the boat. My net is under my tackle bag, and I cannot get it out from under. Rod in one hand, free hand flailing away at the stuff in the way of the net , then another run to the bottom. I manage to hold the rod, get the net free and the fish back to the boat, swish the net into the water, scoop up the fish, and go "holy feces" or words to that effect. The 8.4 pound channel cat bent the hook and self-released into the net. My phone battery was dead so I do not have a pic of the fish, however a certain woman who knows who she is has a pic that she may choose to post in a reply. This was caught on a pickerel rig with worms in 22 FOW on the last bend before Erie. So for a repeat performace I went out the next night with my daughter and her boyfriend. I am very happy to say the he and I were skunked and my girl pulled in a 3 pound sheephead. We heard about that around the campfire all night. It is almost more fun to see your teenage children catching fish than to catch them yourself.

That sounds like a whine to me......however I don't blame you!

I will be telling my youth group from church.

I post in order to learn, as I have had the worst luck this season that I have ever had. I am seriously considering painting my boat black with a white stripe down the middle. The OFC'ers that I have shared a boat with were more than generous with their information and teaching...however I must be a very poor student. I would be over the moon if I was able to post some fish porn, and one day it will happen. As long as I keep trying, and experimenting one day I will hit the formula for that day.

Well, I just spoke to a Minn Kota dealer and it turns out that my new pedal will not work with the old motor. The two components talk a different language. So if anyone needs a spare V2 pedal, with the plug cut off, pm me and we can arrange for a pick up.

I do NOT need to hear about your personal life

That is wonderful........just make sure that Beans stays in the boat. I heard he does not like to stay in his seat...

Don't tell my wife that>>>

I have started the pain-staking task of figuring out the circuits with a continuity tester. I have one halfway figured out...... Thanks for the suggestion!

That rain gear is a good thing isn't it! Are you sure you are not holding each others fish?????

blatant bump I am tryin' hard to figure this one out......

the switching configuration is the same, push right to go right, left to go left, demand and constant on switch push down for demand yada yada yada.. Slide bar for speed control and so on. It also has seven wires controlling the circutry. So, IMHO it can be done. Just have to figure out which wire does what. Thanks for the response!

I aquired a new style foot pedal, the one with the propulsion switch in the middle, and am trying to use it to replace the old sewing machine style pedal that came with the trolling motor. It looked straight forward, seven wires, match the colours and solder. i matched the colours, and the motor turns in the right direction, but the steering motor is not moving. Any ideas???

I hope you kissed your wife when you went through the covered bridge....Thanks for the shots, we will be making the same trip in 2.5 weeks.

No, really your house is square......

I must'a missed the "P.M." I hope baseboard went in well, that house is square enough to not cope. Sounds like you had a great time!

I think you are going to make some eagles very happy...... But that is the only way to learn, unless of course you g out for a day with Garry. It is well worth the money.
