  1. This is the one I want. http://www.hobiecat.com/mirage/mirage-pro-angler-14/
  2. As for an anchor, I use a small folding kayak anchor and have an anchor trolley system that allows me to anchor off the front, rear or anywhere in between while still letting me easily retrieve and deploy. Anchor: http://www.basspro.com/SeaLect-Folding-Anchor-Kit/product/10225384/ Anchor Trolley: http://www.basspro.com/Kayak-Anchor-Trolley-Kit/product/11082605010036/ FYI you want to connect the line to the bottom of the anchor and use a plastic wire tie to tie the line to the proper end of the anchor. This enables you to yank on the line if the anchor gets stuck breaking the wire tie and retrieving the anchor from the opposite way it went in.
  3. Fixed it for ya. By adding an inch of pitch to the 13" prop you will gain a little on top end. The 4 blade should give you similar holeshot to the current 3 blade 13" prop. Best to talk to your local dealer and let them know your WOT RPMs and speeds for both your current props and they will be able to guide you to the right prop.
  4. My 3 blades are 13 1/4X17 and the dealer sold me a 13X17 4 blade. I would say a 13X20 in your case Bill. That should give you your hole shot + top end. You will probably lose 200 RPM on the top end over the 13X19 3 blade though.
  5. Gotta love loose cougar's!!!
  6. Yep, they go pretty good with a little electric motivation.
  7. I'm a big fan of Seaguar flouro. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Fishing/Fishing-Line/Leader-Material%7C/pc/104793480/c/104719680/sc/104130180/Seaguar174-Blue-Label-Fluorocarbon-Leader-Material-25-Yard-Spool/742876.uts?destination=%2Fcatalog%2Fbrowse%2Fleader-material%2F_%2FN-1100389%2FNs-CATEGORY_SEQ_104130180%3FWTz_l%3DUnknown%253Bcat104793480%253Bcat104719680&WTz_l=Unknown%3Bcat104793480%3Bcat104719680%3Bcat104130180
  8. Try using your light line with a little heavier flouro leader. You could use your 4# mono with 3 feet of flouro (8# or 10#) if your 6# is having issues. Also use a proper flouro leader material and not just main line material used as a leader. Proper flouro leader is more abrasion resistant.
  9. Braid will not help you. It is very susceptible to fraying and nicks. Much more so than flouro or mono. Where are your break offs happening? Are you using a mainline/leader setup?
  10. They are plastic and lying down. I think we're safe.
  11. SSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Brought a little bit back from Florida. I'm working on my Rumpamid.
  12. That's what I thought as soon as I saw it!!! I get to chill and watch the game @ 11 AM my time. At that rate I'll be drunk by lunch then the whole day will be shot!!!!!
  13. Need more info. What is your WOT throttle with the current prop? Model # of current prop?
  14. I'm going to watch hockey, drink large amounts of rum and lay a bunch of patio stones around the house.
  15. NAH, she was a guy............sooooooooo I just gloated how my little Honda just pulled his big bad Chevy out.
  16. That would be a steelhead (AKA Migratory rainbow trout)
  17. I've seen it used a few times on Mike Holmes show and it really is pretty neat stuff.
  18. If you want to redo your concrete the best way is with Jewel Stone http://www.durock.ca/jewelstone.html A pro can do amazing things with this product and it's harder than the concrete you're putting it on. It's not a DIY product though. A bunch of pics showing what can be done with it. https://www.google.ca/search?q=jewel+stone&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=WO9yU8raHNW0yAT1oYGIDg&ved=0CCkQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=620#q=jewel%20stone%20cement&revid=1291855110&tbm=isch&imgdii=_
  19. Maps? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Maps!!! Well I would like it if they actually mad one or two but I'm going to have to get a new Lowrance and make my own.
  20. Yeah. The repairs were $55 per prop. Got 3 props now all in good shape. We'll see how many still look like that in the fall.
  21. My favorite lake is Great Bear about 500 kms North of me. Killer scenery, caribou, wolverine, muskox, moose, grizzly and black bear. And the fishing is OK too. My favorite river is the Kenai in Alaska. Again with the great scenery, mountain goats, sheep, moose, tons of grizzlies and black bears. And the fishing is OK too.
