L&M

Jerry On another note ck your pm's about the ice hut.

Jerry: Thanks. Didn't even give Steve a thought for that type of thing. . :roll: I know him well. His camp is around the corner from my house here on the bay. I'll give him a call or see him after the holiday. Thanx Again

I'm looking for someone that makes the type of pennant's ( banner's) that they give us for the antennas in the Pro-Am. I know that before there were a few people on this board that did that kind of work or of someone that did. I'm figuring I'll need between 75 to 100 of them in orange color. Thanks in advance:

Skein Thanks for finding that again. It' a bit long to watch BUT it could save your life. I found it last winter on another site and had it posted but as we kn that's all gone. What I will add to it is. Have a good set of picks where they are readily available if you do go thru. Preferably on a cord behind your neck and tucked in your outer pockets.

Well that too.

I have to agree with Steve. Unless it's an emergency. No phns. No radios. Think about it. This is supposed to be a professional tournament the best or the luckiest out of both Pro & Am divisions. To many variables with open communication. Do your pre fishing and go out, do your best, and see how you fared when you get to the weigh station. But nobody said anything bout a little chatter over a Coor's Light at the dock, after or before. Hank L&M

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year To All Hank L&M

Erin: All the above posts are right on. Don't run your vhf off the terminal strip that is in the boat from the factory. Run at least a 12 gauge copper lead from the battery to a designated block at the helm (fused 10 amp. at the battery, plus the inline fuse for the unit at the unit). Then run your vhf from there, same with your Fish Hawk. It'll save a lot of problems. As well. Keep your coax lead from the Hawk as far away as you can from your coax lead from the vhf antenna. Should take care of it unless the batteries are running low after trolling. But that Suzuki should have a higher amp charging system even sufficient at low trolling rpm's. What are you using for battery's deep cycle/ start or cranking battery's only? On another note how did you make out with the control unit? Hank

Evil Are you talking Michigan Stingers or the Optimizer version? Either way I have to disagree with the above post ( from V ) as they are and have been great producers for many years. The Michigan's have been one ove the better spoons since they were introduced many years ago. I'm still running some i bought back in the early 80's. Ck out the other boards around, and the Oak. Nothing against NK's as I run a ton ove them. But it's best to be a bit versatile instead ove someone trying to plug just one manufacturer. They are all good at any given time. K just had my 2 cents

Give me a pm Hank

Tim Did some research on the drive. It was made by Easton and they are very hard to find parts for. I have one source in the midwest where I might be able to get more info on it. The starter I'm pretty sure I have. I just haven't had a chance to look yet. I'll pm you with some more info and a phn # Thanks Hank

Tom Check this link: http://gmocart4.gmotion.com/store/merch ... et_fishing It's Memphis Net & Twine and these are what I used for catfish trot lines years ago. Hank

Bill: Thanks for re posting Tim's knot for the wire it works great. No more screwin with crimps and all that crap. I was a bit hesitant to use it but I've never had it fail since using it. Port Bay Tim: I don't run backing. 1000ft of wire is the norm. I run 30lb. haven't run 40. The only difference from the above posts are that I do tie it around the spool with a piece of tape to hold the knot in place when i start to spool it on. Tying it around the spool just gives a bit of insurance. Hank

Rich: Decent lookin perch. Boat doesn't look that bad either. Sorry for my mistake yesterday. Thanks for reposting it. Hank

Mark Told ya to watch out for your breakfast An I also hope no one else but the deer were hurt.

Skein Your right. That's why I didn't post it. Mailed it to Mark instead. It is a bit graphic. Deer never stood a chance. SUV either for that matter.

It's on it's way in your e-mail.
