  1. Thanks Art. Makes sense. Didn't see any plastic ones at the local Home Hardware
  2. Gotta love saltwater. Never know what's on the other end. Then all of a sudden a shark comes and takes it all Have a great time
  3. No offense taken Tiz. I've never fished Pigeon in November. Did well in the summer. This was the second year on the lake. Lots to learn. Glad the fish are there in numbers. The slots seem to be working
  4. Makes you wonder. I paid $90 extra for a so called better one. We'll see. peter
  5. Got to the cottage Fri. Hear a hissing sound coming from the unfinished crawlspace. Turns out the 20 gal pressure tank has a small hole on it's side and water is spraying out. Didn't freeze. Go to the hardware store, they give me the name of "The Pump Guy". Next day -new tank and plumbing. $480. Mopped up about 25 gallon off concrete floor. They say in hard water lucky to get 5-10 yrs out of a tank. Don't know how old this one was. Advice : shut water pump off before you leave cottage
  6. I Have 3 ft at the end of my dock. Anybody know where they all go this time of year? They re-appear but not till May I don't target them. Thinking they would attract skis where ever they go. peter
  7. LOL! Maybe less coffee Rich. Glad to hear somebody catching on my home lake. Gotta get my act together peter
  8. Got a quote of $1000 for a 52 inch ski. Nothing fancy. Just the fish
  9. saw a beauti at the Sportsman Show. All aluminum. Drive on from the side with a movable ramp. Triton I believe. $2K. Holds 2 with ease
  10. I agree. Way too glossy. Can you ask them to back off on that? Other than that Advanced do an amazing job. Still thinking of having my 52 in ski done in replica.
  11. Crystal clear line on my HDS 7 at 15-18 ft
  12. I was under the impression that when the water hits these temps we need to back off on speed
  13. Washed all sorts of lures Sun-Mon at the cottage. Water temp 45. Thermocline at 15 ft on sonar. Caught the big zip. Trolled for skis 2-2.5 mph 20-30 ft with deep Jakes/Believers. Trolled 1-1.5 mph for eyes with deep diving cranks, bottom bouncer and stickbait/worm harness, same depths. Found a bunch of boats jigging a 50 ft hole with minnows. They were steadily catching eyes but all were 10-12 inches. Tried trolling deep in that area. Nada. Thinking there have to be minnows in the area. No panfish at the dock. Boat tucked away for the winter. peter
  14. Exactly. Huge conflict of interest. I'm still a Shimano guy
  15. You've been backpacking for months while the rest of us pricks are workin. What gives with that?
  16. Had my impeller replaced as a precaution at 300hrs on my Yammy 115. Still looked new. Mind you most of those hours are trolling
  17. somebody posted last year that a mouse made a nest in a partially full box of Bounce sheets
  18. I have the same settup. 1st 3 yrs. Took them out and stored on wood in the basement. Last year. left them in the boat (in boathouse) and topped up the charge every month or so during the winter. Disconnected the cables to the batteries -ie to motor and trolling motor. I would like to know from the experts to see if they need to come in. All 100lb of them Batteries are expensive. Want to do the best for them to last as long as possible.
  19. Holy Mackerel! That's a lot of girl
  20. Gotta love the speed of the game back then. Lotta helmets missing Small goalie gear Brings back great memories!
