Nice work Cudz. 27lbs WOW.

If this keeps up i am going have to take up golf. With the lightening and the rain maybe knitting would be better.

Yep we got out but the lightening put us off the water at a little after 9am. We did get our limit of herring though.

The plan is to troll until we limit out. Good luck.

I have a vertical rack and side holders at the back that i use when i am moving from one place to another. But when i am fishing i do the same as Raf.

Anyone going out on the opener for lakers and whities? I am going. Can someone suggest a good launch on the south shore in the willow beach area? Thankyou

I called. I might call back later too.

Those big lakers have some big teeth on them.

Thanks for the report Fisherman. I had the same luck as you but it was a good day for a boat ride though. I guess i missed the lightning.

Nice work Icefisherman. Thats the way i would do it.

thats one way to land a fish.

nice work. The bow deck looks prime.

Its not hard to install yourself. I did my own. That motor is about 200lbs i think so you should use a lift. There is two wires for the battery. The gas line. The steering and the throttle controls. Adjusting the steering and throttle takes a bit of time but it is easy. You have to get the right length of cables for the throttle and shifter. You can do it. The place he bought it should put the motor on the transom for free. They were going to hook mine up including the linkage for free. Never lay that motor down on the wrong side.

The Sylvan's rear deck looks small for standing but it would be good if you put a chair on it. Did you look at tracker boats?

Find a boat with a rear casting deck.

Listen to that puppy purr. Brake out the long rods and launch your boat.

I aint afraid of that little bit of ice. Maybe i will fish from it so i can use two rods.

Should have been a houseboat.

Thanks Brian that is good to know.

"orange like liquid inside my XR10 XRap" Do you think it is rust off of the hooks? Or is it just water that got inside the bait and changed the colour? Try some AC shinners if you want to see a bait get water inside of it they are the best.

Bernie can you do a wood bass boat?

Some 15hp and 20hp motors are the same weight. So as long as it is not a real heavy 20hp i would use it. Damage to the transom from too much force may happen. I would make sure the transom is a strong as possible. Or just dont open the throttle up all the way. This saves gas too.

Thanks Henry. I was wondering who was doing the filming for Casey and Jennifer. Your good with a camera.

Just make sure your not down wind.

Thanks for the post Raf. Nice pics.
