AKRISONER

Got it patched up. took a belt sander to some wine corks and got a jar of dust. Mixed wood glue in and over two days layered it up. It took a few layers because the hole was so deep and the glue would inevitably shrink or want to run. I do wish the colour was more bang on, but I can’t complain considering how bad it was prior. the feel is pretty spot on after sanding. Definitely wouldn’t notice it while fishing. I hope the glue holds up to wet hands and rain

sounds like my 88 15horse You cant kill the damn thing. It runs even with its carb currently being screwed up from my old man leaving ethanol gas in it for 3 years. I know for a fact if i put a new carb on it it would run first pull no problem.

People are so cheap that they will risk theirs and their families lives to save the $30 parking cost. No joke

Oh haha this mouse deal happened last fall. The boats in the garage now. The rods are always in my rod locker but I had a crew of mice move into the boat and start terrorizing everything last October. The rods are pulled out because I’m installing panoptix and working in the rod locker. ive actually got two rod racks that I’ve been waiting to put in my “fishing room” in the basement but I’m still slowly clearing out my old man’s engineering papers that he’s collected in boxes over the past 50 years lol. The guys legitimately had 57 full sized file folder style boxes of paper in that room. I’m about half way done clearing them out. I fill up my truck every time I go north, it’s wild!

unfortunately the cats cant live outside in the boat lol. But ya I have a garage that I store my boat in now so we are good to go! A little too late though for a bunch of my gear. They also chewed the nobs off of three of my reels. Really really good stuff. I can say that one of them did pay for it with his life, but to me his life wasnt worth that rod and three reel handles.

Hey guys, well the mice last fall decided to get at the cork on my brand new $400 rod. So now I’ve got to figure out how to fix this hole read some stuff online about mixing cork dust/shavings with glue to fill in the hole. anyone done this before and have a glue recommendation for me? Spiel maybe has something to say about this?

Pain in the butt that the companies doing those flashes are being threatened with law suits now. I’m looking at the new odb2 flashes now available to get mine finally done. It’s long overdue.

Probably the only saving grace with my Eco diesel is that I have to be honest, towing my 18 foot glass skeeter with a 130 full of gear and 100 litres in jerry cans of gas etc etc im literally still getting 12mpg and depending on the drive that can dip into the 11's... Highway driving im consistently in the 9's and city its higher 10's. Ive towed a 26 foot glass cabin cruiser with it and it really didnt have any problem with it. It was heavy, and my mileage suffered but it handled it without issue. That weighs about 7000lbs so your boat will be quite all right. Now...for the bad, its a friggin dodge and what does that mean? Well it means that my windows are always de-railed (one nearly fell out on the highway recently) no matter how many times they have been fixed, I randomly have problems with the electronic shift control...that seemingly vanish. The entire EGR cooler system in my truck has been broken since I bought the truck in the summer of 2016. You can read my other posts about this but basically if I knew a lawyer id be suing FCA because after taking my truck to them literally 5 different times complaining about the exhaust dumping into the cab when I had my heat on and my truck eating coolant since new which progressively got worse and worse over time, I fell out of warranty and took it to a proper diesel mechanic who immediately told me my EGR cooler was cracked (and obviously has been since brand new) the diesel Dr's were the ones that ended up telling me that my EGR cooling system was actually under recall. Add this onto my turbo couplers blowing off multiple times randomly etc etc I forget the rest...long story short Dodge, you fooled me once, shame on you...youll never fool me again.

This, my 24 ultra AGM has as much as some 31’s I saw on the market!

My old man’s house actually has an entire separate panel for when they switch to generator power.

A man with an actual clue suddenly appears lol 😂

A million eh, sounds like my cost benefit and risk analysis indicate it’s worth a shot! *grabs cordless drill*

There’s a massive shortage, we struggle up here to get stock in the first place but even the Americans are complaining.

Went out today...was very tough to get the huts set up. Also gotta love when the hut starts levitating while you’re sitting in it lol

stay tuned on youtube for my "how to"

Yup there’s 0 chance that it’s open by may. By may the hope is that people 60+ will be vaccinated. That’s hardly enough to protect the general population.

If anyone here is reading this and thinking about options to do the same, message me. I’ve got a used terrova ipilot 80lb thrust that won’t work with a pedal but has a remote. im willing to sell it very very cheap because it doesn’t work with a foot pedal. I’ve just been dragging my feet getting photos to post it for sale.

Any of you animals go out there yesterday?

hence why I would literally never buy one of those used boats off of some of the pros. You watch how they do it on TV...literally turn the thing over and rev it to max RPM instantly. A few of the pros though you can tell they cruise for a minute waiting for the motors to get up to temperature.

This is what I have heard from the v max crowd is that their water systems don’t drain properly when shut off so the northern guys have cracked their motors by not draining them and having them freeze. the solution for that one is simple though, guy have started turning the motor over dry during cold season. and that if you don’t let the motors heat up before running then full throttle (isn’t this a problem with every motor?) that you can start to have issues. this ones tougher on the competitive bass boat market because of the nature of how guys run their boats they fish a spot for a couple of hours and then hop back to the console and hammer the throttle down. To me though any issue related to this is no surprise at all

Zaldain tried on day 1 he was actually at the spot before gussy and zeroed they said to win that tournament exclusively with smallmouth was impossible

Agreed, the “live coverage” isn’t as good as “bass live” with the entire crew.

A local posted on bass boat central that there’s always fish there. They are clearly wintering there and stacked up. You gotta hope that something catastrophic doesn’t happen to make the fish disappear on him on championship Sunday. a 7lb lead helps a lot that’s for sure

Big difference...it’s his job. He’s not pleasure fishing. They travel and quarantine and then have stayed down there fishing the elites for a month now. travel Isn’t restricted for business purposes
