Pigeontroller

Most likely the St Lawrence River. There are several Muskie guys that are exclusively targeting the next world record and they are fishing the 1000 Islands area.

Thanks guys! No need to get red faced though!

Wow, finally a response! 3rd time I make a good natured joke about the fact that your dog and I share the same name and thats your reply!? Its amazing how some peoples personalities shine right through cyber-space! If this wasn't Mod-happy OFC i'd tell you want I really think!

Whatever you do, don't get married! Unless its to a nice guy who likes to fish as much as you do!

Don't trust anyone's opinion that names their dog Dax!

Two fish better than a skunk!

So I finally have gotten a second Big Jon downrigger. I have a nice wooden transome bar to mount them on and I want to wire the bar nicely. The Big Jons have two-prong male plugs, I found a couple of two-prong female plugs at CTC. What gauge of wiring should I use? Thanks!

Looks like you're doing a fine job there! Just watch the weight you add!

Make sure you get one that is powerful enough, you won't regret too much thrust! Fishing in current and wind require considerably more power! And a long shaft! Again, if its 12" longer than you need you won't care...If its 6" too short and popping out of the water in a light chop you will be unhappy. Universal sonar is the way to go if you want a fish-finder up front. You can hose clamp a transducer on the motor but it will get damaged, the universal sonar in built in and as indestructible as the rest of the motor. If you don't like the foot control, consider getting a bow mounted hand steer, some guys like this set-up better!

Sounds awesome, congratulations Eddy!

Never, ever, tell your Wife how much you spend on fishing gear!

Why are you whispering?

Keep in mind an aluminum fishing boat with a full windshield and stand up top is pretty comfy in foul weather, or with the side panels off makes for a good sun shelter.

Nice pics Happy Birthday

Mod Alert! Well said Wayne!

You can celebrate by smoking 5 or 6 packs of smokes!

A spare prop and the tools to change it! I consider the spare prop like a spare tire!

Absolutely get the highest resolution finder you can afford!

Welcome.

Keep with it, you'll get the hang of it. Nothin beats a baitcast set-up for casting artificials!

Nice pics Wayne, almost makes ice fishing look like fun...

My condolences as well...You're lucky to have enjoyed such a great Father for so long.
