Thanks!!

This will never fly. It disenfranchises poor people, and people on a fixed income. It will go the way of micro stamping and ammo background checks.
At last look, the rifle registration had about a 90% noncompliance rate, thousands of hand gun owners did not comply with the new 5 year registration. I have yet to hear the State Police rounding up non compliant firearms. And I, like many others buy all my ammo out of state online and have it shipped to my door.
If no one obeys, no one rules....
Only time will tell.

Yup, I run them in 28 and mag.

Bob, I would send an e-mail to "Tuna's Reel Troubles". They are reel experts, many on this board ( myself included) have had reels worked on by them. A few years back, Andy was able to set me up with larger "power handles" to fit my older Diawa reels, now used for wire divers. He may have an answer to your dilemma.

Iggy, You will be fine with you 16 footer, watch the weather and pick your days.
I started out in 1990 in an old 16' semi vee with a 40 hp.
This one is 16' 8" deep vee Starcraft with a 90 Merc. Bought this one new in 1996, still running strong after 22 years on the lake. Plenty of fish to be had from these multi - species boats.

Did you have to pull up the floor?
Nope.... Disconnected at both ends and did a shake and pull with a buddy, and the hose got about 8" longer. Just enough to drain properly. My guess is that slack in the line flopped around running in the waves, and the bouncing moved it from it's normal drain path.

There my be a loop or bend in the line somewhere, much like the trap under your sink.... it lets the air and snake thru, but won't drain on its own. ...... ask me how I know....

Does anybody use a fixed slider for their MUP rigs, or mainly just stacking? I used to stack but haven't had a need since I started running 3 or 4 riggers. Also, how long is your typical stretch on the lower, smaller spoon from the ball?
I use a fixed slider for Mup rigs. bottom small spoon back 10', top larger spoon back 5' and up 5'.

He wasn't looking for bait shop, he was looking for a place to stay. Jes' sayin'
The Bay Bridge Sport Shop has 2 "fisherman's apartments" for rent by the day or week.

I have a large Rapala plastic cutting board the same size as my cooler... a few wet towels between board and cooler lid keeps the board in place.

Bay Bridge Sport Shop. On the south end of the bay, but nice fisherman's apartments with docks, gas, etc.

Decide on you price range, then get the most "pixels and power" you can afford. Duel frequency is a great feature, the other special features are up to you. Most manufacturers offer the operator manuals free online in PDF format. Download the manuals and check for ease of use. Some units make you go through a ton of menu options to make a simple adjustment. I chose a Furuno 625 unit 6 years ago because it has dials and knobs rather than a ton of buttons, and their bullet proof reputation. Take a trip to Bass Pro or Cabela's and look at the units for yourself. Play with the functions and find which unit will work best for YOU in your price range.

I was out a week ago Monday. Going out, no problem, stayed on my saved gps plot from last fall. Coming back in, my 17 foot tin boat with the top and side curtains up got hit with a gust of wind from the North East, and pushed me off course to the West. Before I could correct, I slid into the mid channel debris and hit the steel that's just below the water... ( it had a buoy marking it last fall) Ended up with a 14ft. gouge along the bottom of the hull, a sheared off rivet, and a snapped off Airmar P66 transducer. I've made repairs and am good to go, but may run out of the Genny until they dig the debris out.... not worth risk with a light boat.

Been using RM Lure box for the past couple of years... great for keeping the "go to" baits organized

tmcaul, On the back of the boat, usually on the upper right hand side, you will find a series of numbers stamped on the transom. In most cases, the last 2 numbers are the year the boat was manufactured.
As far as replacing the floor, time consuming, but not a hard job. Best advise is try to save the old pieces and use them as templates to cut the new floor.
-
I use the Hot Spot version of these, usually running an Apex 4-5 ft. behind. Adds a bit of flash, but not as aggressive as a normal flasher

I have older big Jon rod holder. They have single post. I’m trying to figure how retro fit them to a track system. Any ideas?
Trax-tec sell a base plate that you can use to mount accessories. I used them to mount my older rod holders for my tracks.

After seeing this thread, I made a Shelton Fish Descender out of a coat hanger and a 1lb. snap weight. Looks like it will work just fine, and can't beat the price...

Get a prescription from your doctor for Meclizine. Its what they prescribe for vertigo (an inner ear issue that causes dizziness and nausea and is related to motion sickness) I used to get bad sick especially when tying knots or trying to work out tangles.
Haven't had any problems since I started taking this and no side effects. Its also cheap, costs $3 for 30 on my insurance.
Over the counter "Bonine" IS Meclizine.....
