  1. I have to put a float switch in the new boat and I have a couple questions first I don`t want to drill holes in the fibreglass so I was wondering what adhesive I could use, I was thinking something like a PL Premium. And second I want to put an inline fuse on the float switch and was wondering what amp fuse to use, 5 or 10. Thanks Gord
  2. Nice rig there bud I am sure your gonna love the way it fishes, the Yammy does looked trimmed down the first 300`s looked like a volkswagen. I have found towing the same with my Stratos versus the Alumacraft the Stratos is far easier to launch and load and I get around 20-25% better fuel mileage with the tow vehicle. Enjoy
  3. I am thinking that dragging humans over the water at 30-40 MPH might sting a little, make sure you get the little darlings some head protection!!!
  4. Inconsiderate launch ramp hogs I say if they take longer than 5 minutes they should immediately be vaporized!
  5. Anybody know who won the Dalrymple Pikemania?
  6. There was a first timer at Layzee Acres this weekend he did every thing wrong, he was getting the boat ready on the ramp double and triple checking everything life jackets on you know the drill. This poor guy could not back his shiny new Legend up 10 feet with out jackknifing plus the guys wife was not helping by yelling at him at the top of her lungs this guy was about ready to crack, after about 15 minutes or so one of the guys watching offered to back is rig in for him he gladly accepted the offer and he was off a few minutes later. Part 2, After dinner I decided to go down to the canal and wash a few lures and low and behold our friend is coming in well this poor fella hadn`t shut the motor off yet and his wife was already yelling at him. Nothing really had changed you could tell he was nervously walking to his truck a few attempts at backing up and you could tell it was not going to happen, I walked over to his truck and asked if he wanted some help so he slams his truck in park and starts to get out I say no I am not going to back it up for you but I will tell how to do it. In a nut shell I tell him hand on the bottom of the wheel and turn in the direction you want the trailer to go and small corrections well after a couple minutes he gets the hang of it and he gets the trailer in the water,I them tell him to jump in the boat and drive the boat right on the trailer which he got done after a few attempts we winch him up and away he goes. he was very greatful for the help. So guys the next time a new boat owner is trying to launch and he/she is breaking all the rules try to have a little compassion for a fellow angler.
  7. Sorry I got my Plumma`s mixed up!!!
  8. 11 bucks for a pack of hooks!!! Someone doesn`t have a mortgage!!! Mike you gotta turn pro and get a sponsor to supply all that overpriced and overhyped stuff for you!
  9. Thanks Ron and Art for the advice, that Shark Bite thingy worked great!!
  10. Thanks for the advice guys it does not look to difficult. The big decision now is do I fix it now or head up to the trailer early!!!
  11. Please this is a family community no talk of mounting please!!!
  12. I was kinda of hoping this faucet would just screw out as there is nut there, the tube split just ahead of the nut.
  13. Wondering if anybody knows how to make this repair,I did not remove the hose of the outside faucet this past winter and of course the tube part split found this out when I went in the basement dumb Anyways this faucet is connected to PEX and I am guessing you need special tools to remove this fitting any advice on how to fix this would be appreciated.
  14. Nice perch, must be nice to live near such a great fishery!
  15. ya gotta watch out for those evil doer`s!!!
  16. Not too self check guides of your Izumi`s. The BI`s are great rods I like them more than my Crucial`s and Compre`s.
  17. I don`t really have a problem wearing a PFD while running at cruising speed but wearing one while fishing would be very uncomfortable. I would like to know what percentage of the drowning victims were liquored up or doing dumb things like swimming at night while drunk or canoeing at night while drunk.
  18. Heading up to the Trailer on Dalrymple Thursday, finish off the deck stairs to build. Bringing the new Stratos up to see how she feels!
  19. Easy there slick us hillbillies don`t take kindly to you cityfolk rubbing up against our women. And BTW most of our women shave if they are going out on the town!!
  20. Very nice of you to relieve your son`s pet!!
  21. More than a little disappointing and at this point all I want to see is the Habs score a goal!LOL
  22. As games go not a great game, and remember the series is a best of seven and not a best of one!!!
