  1. Well I finally got out fishing we hit the eyes first got three nice ones all around 20" range. 2 big cats one was 30" the other 25" and the other two were around 20" some rockies and a sm. Sorry team 4 no pics I did not have my sign in the boat :wallbash:

     

    We put in 1 1/2 hours musky fishing and got two small guys around 30-36" it was great to be out on the water before the fog rolled in and leave before it got way to hot.

     

    Next time I will bring the camera.

  2. Good job I built my first mast also it was not the best thing but did the job I bit the bullet the second season and got the Big Jon. If I had made a nice one the first time I would have stuck with it as its always nice to have some home made stuff on board.

  3. Ok I know that I will get a bunch of crazy answers and most will be around Roy or some of our other aging members.

     

    What I want to know is how do you find rocks that might have fossils in them? I will be in a area this summer that should have them I have heard of people doing this before but have never tried any ideas or help???

     

    I will be in North Dakota in some of the Bad lands and thought this would be a fun thing to do with the kids.

  4. I forget what it was called I just know Jos showed me where he was going to be fishing so I told him to watch out as I would add spikes on the out side of my boards so he had better put a few extra coats of wax on his boat this week :good:

     

    If I am out Saturday morning I will head over to his area just to say Hi.

  5. LSC bugging the bass guys with my musky gear LOL.

     

    Actually I was talking to Jos from Angling Outfitters he will be out on LSC for a tournament that is going on so I told him I will be running my plainer boards right by his boat as he is trying to flip for them bass.

  6. Well I have had a bunch of guys asking about pike sized Handlebarz so I had made some for them now I have had requests for buzz baits in Pike/Musky size so I have made up some for the first batch I just got back from the river testing them and I must say I like them a lot.

     

    Here are the New Handlebarz Prop Wash line up.The wire is 0.051, The plastic and Aluminum quad bladed ones are abut 3/4oz and the counter spin Aluminum bladed ones are about 1/2oz all come with 4/0 Mustad Ultra Point hook. I think I might add a trailer hook to them they are also Mustad Ultra Point hook's.

     

    They are built strong enough for musky fishing but light enough for your pike/bass gear.

     

    The flashabou looks like it might inter fear with the blades that was my concern but after testing them all the flashabou does not effect the blades from spinning the way they are made to.

     

    I will offer them in any color that I make for the regular Handlebarz and all will be built to order Head colors will be Chartreuse,Pearl and I have some that I can use my powder paint to costume color for guys that want that.

     

    The plastic blades.

  7. Dang and the merc dealer here said it will be bad in 15 days so I need to buy this bottle from him to save the gas and he would give it to me for $14.99+ tax WOW I thought that is a deal.

     

    I like the 30 days idea and I always use stabil marine stabilizer in each tank. If the gas is stilling for a couple moths or longer I will top it up with mid or super just to give a little more octane not sure if it helps by it helps my mind and yes I put some more stabil in there at that time.

  8. I hang them as well as my large musky lures to dry during the day I will put my musky lures on the plainer board reels to dry off with the air as I troll around. If not I will hang them inside the boat for the drive home and let them dry off that way.

     

    For your smaller ones and not fishing from a boat just carry a separate plastic case from the $$$ store and put the wet ones in there then let them dry off at home later.

  9. there are some interesting things out there for fixes for underwater I guess if i get one I will have to see how it works for me underwater before I buy the extra fixes or make one.

     

    I thought it would be cool to put the head set on when some one or myself is fighting a musky then when its time to land the fish you get my view of things then I would hope to set the camera down up front on the boat so I can get some video of the fish as we take it out for pictures.

     

    I want to also try underwater videos but might hold off at first.
