Bad Habit

Heading out tomorrow for the first time in a couple of weeks and was wondering how the fleas are. They were getting thick last outing.

Any pics?

303 Fabric guard is what was recommended to me by John Mann. He made my Sunbrella top and aft cover.

I use Gallagher Charter lakes insurance. I am not a charter. I have never needed to submit a claim but I did get recommendations before I went with them. I have an agreed value so I hope I know what I would get if it was a total loss.

Where are you located?

Well Amazon delivered 2 Okuma high speed Coldwater CW-453DS reels yesterday. They were the linecounters too. Nice surprise because they didn't show a linecounter in the picture or say anything in the description. Good deal for $84. If I had known that I would have ordered 2 more for the diver rods!!

I'm looking for recommendations for what to use as backing for 10 color leadcore. Not sure what brand the leadcore is but I'm spooling it onto a Coldwater CW-453DS. Thanks, Rick

Decided to buy a couple of Okuma CW-453DS. Found them on Amazon for $84. Going to use them on 10 color leadcore so I didn't think I needed line counters. Looking forward to trying them soon.

Thanks for the help.

Probably line counters.

I'm looking to replace my old Daiwa Sealine 47SH's. Any opinions on a good reel with similar capacity? I would like to stick with at least a 5:1 ratio. I like the Saltist but probably more $ than I want to spend for a weekend fisherman.

Thanks for the help. Hank hooked me up and I’m dropping off the canvas this weekend.

About 7 years ago I had John Mann, Sodus Bay canvas, make a new top, windows and drop curtain for my boat. Now I would like to get the windows replaced but haven't been able to get a hold of John. I called and left a message but never heard back. Does anyone know if he is still in business? He did a great job and would like him to do the replacement windows if possible.

I can troll down to about 1.8 mph on the main. Just curious what an auto pilot would cost and how it works with power steering and what the price tag might be. Just a toy I’ve always thought would be handy.

I know very little about Autopilots and was wondering what might be the best unit for a 25ft boat with a 350, 260 hp Mercruiser with power steering. Not sure this is the direction I want to go but wanted to look at my options. How difficult is installation?

Almost no fleas out of I-Bay Saturday.
