Ok so today I picked up 2 walker folding planer boards(the green ones). On top of that I picked up 2 planer board snubbers. Are they nescessary? Im only asking because with the mast I built I installed two heavy duty springs. Im sure it doesnt hurt to have them on for added protection due to shock, but do I really need them?

Another ? is that i noticed there is no left or right board, there both the same, and how do they ride in the water? Do they plow threw or ride high?

Any opininions good or bad will be greatly apreciated about this product, thanks in advance guys

I would also like to give a great big thank you to our good friend Bigugli(bruce), for his donations that i received today

And once again thank you for posting your pics, I hope next year is bigger and better than ever. Till then, fish on guys

ITS TROLLING SEASON

Thats an awesome start to the season G, congrats

great its fixed

Lew, does your ignition key need to be in ACC. or RUN position for these things to work? If you're hotwiring and it's working...well....??

My thought exactly as roy meantioned. And another thing many people forget and I do as well. Did you properly check for ground at the horn. Or evern a continuity test on the ground wire.

One thing I have come across with switchs like the one you postes, while undoing the nut, the switch tends to twist or turn, unknowingly aa wire can be pulled from a but connector with shrink tubing on it, and never realizing it.

One other thing I have come across with that same type of switch, in which i do have one. Is that its a factory screw up. Mine has a red button and was specifically purchased to cut the power off of a pup engine for a crane.

No blown fuse on your part so I see a bad ground.

im concerned about the vessel license being filled out and never actually being transferred into his name. what is the vessel license place going to say when i walk in with the vessel license showing that someone else is buying the boat (on paper)? or will a bill of sale from the current owner be good enough?

 

theres no risk of this being a stolen boat?

is it legal to sell a boat thats currently in the previous owners name?

how do i find out if theres liens against it?

Your bank can check for leins at no charge. I do it every time when I purchase a vehicle and twice when i purchased my boats.

Tim im sure youll find something good at a reasonable price. Im sure you know your way around a vehicle, thats if it needs a few repairs. I spent a day or so looking on kajiji when I came across the jeep I now own. The new tires cost more than the vehicle, she runs great and its solid.

Dont blow off the cheapos until youve actually taken a good look at them. Or just P/u another truck like yours and use yours for parts.

nice shooting greg

Nice catch dude. Gotta say though - your constant three day weekends are pretty sweet too.

Youve got that right Rick

I find fishing a bit better when theres less pressure

After trout fishing, we tried for kitties as well elsewhere. hmmmmm!!!!!! Enough said

Thanks Joey and Simon, we couldnt ask for a better day of fishing hands down

On to the pic

On to the pic

As usuall I love fishing on mondays, no crowds, no pressure and a ton of room to cast into lake O.

We arrived at a spot that may produce but we werent sure what we were up against. The temps rising and casting into shallow water I did have doubts.

Casting away I finally had a hit in which produced a 11lbs 10 ounce male brown(a stocker).

Shortly after a guy fishing along side of us landed a 3 pounder

We kept casting and chris had a nibble that went away as fast as it hit, i felt so bad about it. But hey hes a team 7 captain

There were a few other nibbles that didnt produce, but who cares ,It was a beautiful day out.

..what I was getting at Grimace.. and Skinny.. you don't think wings are flat do you? A proper rivet will, or can be formed, to fit just about anywhere. If you were closer it would be fixed already.

Tim , bring your boat up to the shop. Its a two minute fix with buck rivots. Water tight, will form to the hole and your good to go.

Nice shooting steve

A waterproof aluminum rivot will do with a drop of siloprene, and voila its sealed.

 

A buck rivot is a better choice for sealing.

I wish I could of been there to see the fight, oh well perhaps another time.

Nice shooting

I was tempted to cast a line, but I was too sick to bother. Just out for some fresh air.

There are a slight change in standings, if you have anyother photos please send them in by the 15nth.

Thanks again guys

Vince, what do you plan on doing with it? Is it an all-around Muskie rod that you plan on casting and trolling with? Or is it technique specific, like to be used for Jerkbaits?

Casting & possibly trolling, so an all round reel would be great.

i have an abu ambassador 5501c3 on it so far and its getting tired,. I do like the balance but I feel the reel is a little small for my likings. Esp targeting skis.

Replacing the reel with the same model would be ideal since i will have spare parts for it, but like I said i think the reel is a little small for those big feirce fish.

I also dont want to be braking the bank either.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance
