  1. Pick each one up and see how you like the ergonomics..

     

     

    that is the key when i bought my first dslr i read everything and my mind set on a canon when into blacks they shoed me the canon and the nikon together i walked out with the nikon simply because it felt better in my hands

  2. Well a buddy called last night saying his partner bailed on him for the lindsay bassmaster open. The famly and I were camping at emily park so he picked me up at 5 and off we went. I had never been on stergon before didn't know it was such a big lake. Thouht we would be able to get a few lots of weeds early morning with frogs boy was I wrong now my partner is a run and gun type fisherman so we moved a lot going to his spots didn't realy give me much of a chance to fish my way but his boat and his money who paid to get in. All and all ended up with one bass that I think may have need the fish strecher to get to the 13 inch min lol he caught it. Had a blast of a day its differant fishing with a goal not just to have a fun day on the water. If any members were there we didn't sstick around afterwards as I had to get back to camp what was the winning weight.

  3. Hey guys and gals

     

    I got a new fishfinder/gps and so i mounted the old one at the bow of the boat. My question: is there a way to mount a transom mount transducer onto the trolling motor or must I get a trolling motor transducer. And if i can mount it onto the trolling motor should i foresee any issues with the operation of it? I wouldn't think so. Should I/Can I mount it w/ epoxy?

     

    Second question: The new fishfinder is a humminbird. i mounted the new transducer but it is kicking up a rooster tail at high speed and then the spray from that is getting into the boat even. So there's a 1x1/5 inch gap between the bracket and the transducer. I think this is where the spray is coming from. Anyway to prevent this? Should i fill the gap with epoxy?

     

    Thanks for the comments in advance.

     

     

    I had they same proplem with mine last year if you contact humminbird there is a part that they send you free under warrenty and it goes between the transdicer and the monting pice.

  4. I have to brand new never used 27 series Forf Motor caft deep cycle batteries.These batteries are awesome.They retail for over 190.00 each.If you want you can have the pair for $150.00.

    I will be leaving for Buckhorn Saturday morning and I will be there for a week.

    Let me know if this is of any interest to you and I will load them in the truck.

    We may even be able to get out on the water for a few hours.

  5. last spring i bought 2 new factory seconds trolling motor batterys. Later on in the summer they didnt seem like they were holding much of a charge. I took them back the place i bought them (my work is one of there biggest costmers) he kept them fro a couple of days toped up the water chargerd them ran them down and charged them back up and said they were fine. So i thought it may be a bad conection someplace rewired it with a new plug. The rest of the year all was great.

    fast forward to this year have only had the boat out twice. the first time out the trolling motor was weak brought it home cleaned all the connections. Second time all was good. Was just out cleaning things a bit and bumped the swich the trolling motor seem slow for the setting. Grabed the volt meter one battery was 12+ volts the other one was 3.25 volts. they are both hooked to a onboard charger and were both up last weekend when I checked them.

    I think i need one new battery as the warrenty is gone can i replace just one since they are still fairly new or should i buy 2

  6. all i can say is go to a good camera store and talk to the salesman hold all the cameras in your price range feel how they sit in your and can your fingers reach all the controls. when i went to but my first went to but a canon but as soon as i held the nikon i was sold on it. Also look at the price of the accessories you may want in the future

  7. i recived the same thing today. My question is if one cheated the first time whats to stop them from cheating when ansewering the survey. The questions were did they have help did the have study aids and did they take it at there residance. not a big deal to answer but really come on. this whole thing is a joke don't get me wrong i belive we should have some kind of boat lic but a test u can take at a hime and the police can't check. So if you fail the survey are the boat smart police coming to your door and taking your lic

  8. one of the guys i am going with made the resevation. He told me he checked the place out so i left it in his hands (bad idea) the other guy going his parents don't live to far from picton if it gets to bad i will pull out and go set up in there yard

  9. I think I'll go find a campground to pitch a tent. Any recommendations? Looking at perfect vue, Mohawk and Bayview Resort right now..

    we are staying at fosters fishing center not sure if thats a good thing or not.
