Bad Habit

I have a few older Daiwa 47lc and 47sh reels that the drags need attention. Do most of you have someone else do it for you? Any suggestions on where to send these or instructions how to do it myself would be appreciated.

Anyone been to Hemlock lately? Never been there but thinking about giving it a try for some bass.

Does anyone know if it would make a difference if I used a deep cycle marine battery. Right now I'm using 2 regular cranking batteries because they are both being charged all the time.

longline, Thanks for the ideas. My antenna is the correct one for my radio. I even tried swapping it with another one and still had the problem. Both batteries are charging and are rooted through a perko battery switch. I'll try to turn the switch so both batteries aren't charging at the same time. It doesn't seem to make a difference if the ignition is on or off. The interference goes away if I turn the squelch up but then I can't receive any transmissions unless they're close. There is no difference if the radio and ff are hooked up to the same battery but I haven't tried reversing them. I guess I have a couple of things to try. Thanks again for the help.

I've been wrestling with an interference problem between my fish finder and VHF radio for a while now. I get a distinct "pinging" on a couple of channels on my radio when the ff is on. I have them hooked directly to sepperate batteries on opposite side of the boat. The antenna is on the same side as the radio and the transducer is on the same side as the FF. No where do any of the wires cross each other.There is added lengths of wire on both units to reach the batteries. Should these wires be shielded? Is there any way of telling if the wires that are used now are shielded? This problem has been driving me crazy, Thanks for any advice!!!

I connected my depth Raider probe like the pic Sponge shows. I also coated all the bare metal on the crimp and swivel with liquid tape. I've had the probe down to 120' and it reads fine.

If any one is looking for an observer for the Sodus Pro Am i am available and would be willing to go. If it matters, I am registered in the Summer LOC. Drop me a PM and I can get back to you or give me a call at 943-8682. Thanks, Rick

Where are you located? Do you know what happened to the motor or what it might need to fix it?

Boat Name: Bad Habit 25' Maroon Regal Also dock at Mayers Marina on Irondiquoit Bay. Just a "Weekend Warrior" looking forward to getting the boat launched in the next couple of weeks!

I know Bass season opens the 3rd Sat of June but is it legal anywhere in N.Y. to fish "catch and release" for Bass before that date? I had heard there was a proposal for this but can't find any recent info. Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone uses inline planers such as Yellow birds instead if planer masts and boards when fishing for Browns. I want to do some early season trolling from a smaller boat and don't have a planer board setup. Thanks for any help.
