    Yesterday, I woke up, looked out the window and saw that the river had a blanket of ice right out into the main channel with a light coating of snow on top...I was depressed to say the least, but it made me start to get into the ice fishing mode!!....Looks are deceiving folks...here is what the river looks like this morning!!!

    During the early ice fishing season, I always carry my ice chisel with me, while wearing my survival suit and check the ice in front of me every couple of steps...If the chisel breaks the ice with only one or 2 hits, I back up and get the heck off the lake or river!!

     

    I'll also do this on unknown lakes even during the middle of the winter....

     

    Be safe!!!!

     

    On a brighter note.....now that the ice disappeared, I think I'm going to get another kick at the can and head out for a late fall Muskie hunt this week :thumbsup_anim::clapping::Gonefishing::canadian:

  6. Musky reels

    I'm not a big casting type of guy for Muskie, but I have tried to do a bit more this season after talking to Lew :whistling: ......I have an Abu 6500C3 which has been a great reel for trolling and casting. I've had this reel for the past couple of years and have no complaints whatsoever, especially the price :thumbsup_anim: ...

    I don't really have an opinion on the sonar you mention, but your daughter sounds like a wonderful person :)

     

    She is a wonderful person Radnine...She's my "baby", that fished with me from when she was 6 months old to now, that all of a sudden grew up, met a great guy from Marietta, GA, got married, moved to the US :( and has made me a proud Grampa of a lovely little girl....

     

    I love her to death!!! :)

    Thanks Lew!!!....I've seen that Lowrance has come out with the new HDS series but I just can't justify spending the $$$$$$$ on toys like that....I'm trying to save up and buy a boat that I can trailer around and feel safe in out on larger bodies of water like Lake O.. :Gonefishing: ....the pontoon is great for the Ottawa R ....it goes into the water as soon as the ice goes off and stays in until ice forms in the fall but it's not something that you want to tow around!!

    Thanks for the reply Shawn!.....I was hoping to get some feedback from members that actually own/owned this model to see what that had to say..good or bad..

     

    I've owned the X40 and I now have the X75 which is on my pontoon boat....both these models have been great for use as "depth" finders, but I really have never been able to get them to actually show arches on the screen...I'm figuring because they are a lower $$$$ model...

     

    Any comments????

  17. Plano!

    Hey folks!

    In this day and age of poor customer service all over the place, I thought I'd take a moment and publicly give props to a company that has just done me some awesome customer service.

     

    Over the Thanksgiving weekend while out fishing, I somehow managed to break the door that holds the spinnerbait box in my Plano 7771 box. I've had the box for over a year now, and it gets used regularly. I love the box, and hated the thought of having to replace the whole box or monkey something up on it just for the sake of one little door.

    I decided I'd contact the manufacturer to see if I could purchase just the door. I went on the website and fired off an email explaining what had happened and asking if there was a chance they'd sell me just the lid. I was expecting to get no reply or at best something along the lines of "sorry, we only sell complete boxes, etc...."

    I was very pleasantly surprised to get a reply back the next day telling me they were shipping me a new part free of charge. They didn't even charge me shipping!

     

    I know it's a small part, and probably doesn't cost them a lot to make it, but if I'd had to buy a whole new box....

     

    Anyways, buy Plano. They've demonstrated to me that they do care about their customers.....

     

     

    They did the same for me earlier this year when the top of my Muskie Box cracked at the hinges and flew off in the wind....no questions asked other then "we're so sorry sir! Please give us your address so that we can send you a replacement!!"

     

    I will NEVER buy any other tackle box other than from Plano!...Kudo's to them!! :clapping:
