I think if a tipster calls crime stoppers they can get a reward? If they call the cops and crime stoppers there is no reward. I have no idea what the KEMP aluminum boat looks like. Have a pic to link too?

I am going to take a guess at where this is coming from. This is not a bass, trout, walleye or even pike guy. This is a Musky guy. They are almost the biggest and almost the meanest fish around here and since they are only share the top of their food chain there are not too many (oh those pesky Pike). When someone catches a decent sized musky when they are casual fisherman that usually catches other fish of course they are going to be excited and say it is huge because it is compared to the other fish they have caught. I am not sure what the tarpon and marlin guys say about Musky. Maybe they say I had tarpon snap off many 1000lb rated hooks/line this season you call that 55lber a monster??? It comes with the territory....your stuck with it and the youtube juveniles "must see" videos.

OK....if that is what you are doing then perhaps: I believe starboard is bolted onto its surface due to the adhesive issue. The stuff is super expensive and there is little benefit to using it for this application. Get 2 lengths of 3 sided aluminum angle. Epoxy and silicone will work on the aluminum. With the 2 pieces make the slot ends for the plastic board to go in. The board/self will slide in between the 2 aluminum pieces. I think you can figure out how to best mechanically fix the plastic to the aluminum. Personally I would use plywood instead of the plastic to put in the slot because it is easier to work with. Big box home repair place will sell all you need and the aluminum brackets come in various thicknesses. wbg

I would say limited but not defeated. That was a politically correct way of saying: Our peg draw sucked but we are here to fish so we may as well do what we can with this garbage. who knows we might figure something out and get lucky

Maybe you want to say exactly what you are going to use this for. Yep Starboard is the stuff. A cutting board will suffer UV breakdown. I don't know how long either will last with 10lbs of ????? on it. For Starboard you can call the manufacturer and they will help you make the decision. You can forget about silicone or glue for the cutting boards. Cutting boards are made from polyethylene and it does not lend itself to binders very well if at all. Use mechanical methods for putting 2 boards together if you go this route. I think a metal or aluminum plate that has enough clearance behind it to bolt on/off items is a good play, make it detachable. So what is the 10lbs? sm

class as in caste as in being a true OFNer I guess. You have all the class life requires as far as I am concerned.

I forgot about carbs...from what I remember carb on any machine should be drained for winter.....EFIs dont' get drained.

I'll swap houses with you....that way you can be of a higher class and true too if that is what you really want. The air and fishing looks pretty good where you are.

It depends on who is saying it and where they are saying it. A 16" bass is caught -if a little kid is saying I caught a HUUUUGGGGEE bass I will agree with them and tell them. -if a guy that rarely fishes and is not a known jerk then it is pretty big or big for this lake. -if a blowhard says it then I either say nothing or laugh a little and shake my head or say it out right OR say it is big for this lake. On the same topic when the walleye are on fire and the guys say they boated a tremendous 30 walleye. How does this compare to Limeangler's hauls? Does it make 30 a lesser number? Anyone going to say "my buddy caught 150 in less time?"

4 strokes: -drop a teaspoon of oil via the spark plug holes on top of each cylinder if it is being left for 4 or more months. Summer, winter or whenever it sits. -turn the flywheel by hand to get the whole cylinder coated. -DON'T run it dry. Put some stabilizer in it on its last run or 15 minutes. -Run ethanol free before storage. The manufacturers (from what I see) say don't worry about it but I do it anyways. Shell sells ethanol free (the high end one). I am pretty sure there are thousands of threads on this top on the net.

Another factor is that gobies are just not bottom feeders. Gobies eat zebra muscles. Zebra muscles are chock full of toxins. Don't put that fish to waste though...use it as fertilizer.

Still confused.....why are boats not allowed?

It is not britain....can't they catch carp from a boat? so they are all fishing from the shore and praying they get a good spot? I guess some guys get to their spot and say "FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!"

I noticed a handful of guys were whooping everyone else by a several hundred pounds. How can a team catch so many fish and so man catch none or 1?

your the man Ron! What was the gist of the letter that hit home with the chief? Is the link for the file an URL or do you need someplace on the web to post it?
