  1. Steve, just curious what you hate so much about the coated cable. I'm also a fish hawk to Depth Raider convert (2 seasons now) and the cable has been a non issue. One thing though is, do not unse the thimble and crimps to connect it. If you use the modified tru-trac Klincher terminator set up, you can take the probe off every trip and you don't have the crimps cutting the cable. If the coating wears, you just cut a couple feet of cable off and redo the Klincher. here's a pic of the setup that was on the GLA board a couple years ago just drill out the rivet holding the snap swivel and replace it with a SS machine screw and a couple SS washers. I use a SS nylock nut. leave a long tag end out the top of the Klincher and add a ring terminal to connect it to the screw. I know tru trac went bellyup last year, but someone else is now making those terminal ends (can't remember who of the top of my head), I'm sure someone here will chime in with who that is. Tim
  2. Sorry, ripping on croc wearers is a long running joke on the NBR forum of www.boatered.com but really, aren't they just cheesy ventilated plastic clogs? I refused to wear clogs in the 70's and ain't gonna change now. Tim
  3. Crocs??? WTF??? Sorry YT, your Man Card has been officially revoked :roll:
  4. Hey Guys, I also posted this in the 2008 Lake Ontario Fishing Season Kickoff thread, but the new Dreamweaver products that Billy posted will be on display and available for sale at the fishinbg Expo. I gotta start putting away more money Tim
  5. Further update, - Food will be available at the Expo (good thing ) - Door Prizes from NK, Dreamweaver, Yeck, A-Tom-Mik, Walker and Slide Diver (Each will have a dedicated hour where 4 entrance tickets will be drawn during that hour for the prizes) - The new products from Dreamweaver that have been put on other threads will be on display and available for sale at the Expo. I'm sure there will be more to come. Stay tuned. Tim
  6. Ray, I have a 2 battery setup on my boat and I have the Guest 2611A installed, 10 Amp 5/5 two banks and it works great. I have it plugged in all the time when it's sitting in the slip (don't want the battery to go dead and not operate the bilge pump). Even when the boat is sitting on the trailer in my yard, I plug it in overnight and the batteries are always fully charged the next morning. the 20 amp charger may be overkill and an un-needed expense. You won't go wrong with it, but that level may not be necessary or worth the added expense. Tim
  7. I had culture once, but a good stiff shot of penicillin cleared it right up Tim
  8. Just an update guys, all 46 available tables for the expo/swap meet have been filled, so there should be a ton of toys available to blow your christmas money on Tim
  9. Here's a link to the wire lione knot I put up a couple years ago. real simple: http://www.lotsa.org/Wire%20Line%20Knot.htm Tim
  10. i think many of us struggle with that same tackle addiction I don't struggle with it, I embrace it Tim
  11. Sure, anywhere you want to put them up would be great. THat's kind of the idea of having the downloadable flier up on the site. Thanks, Tim
  12. Lockport, NY check the lotsa website for all the details www.lotsa.org Tim
  13. Anchor Resort is a nice place. I've stayed there a couple times. Chris and Linda are good peoples Tim
  14. Yeah, it's the 24th, stupid typos, I fixed it. Thanks Bill. Tim
  15. Kickoff the Lake Ontario fishing season by spending Sunday February 24th learning from some of the best Captains on the lake. Formal presentations will be given by Bob Stevens (Sunrise Charters) on Spring Shoreline Brown Trout, Captain Vince Pierleoni (Thrillseeker) on Western Basin Spring Kings, Ernie Lantiegne (Fish Doctor) on Derby Winning Techniques and Frank Campbell (Niagara Region Charters) on Niagara River Steelhead. In addition, over 25 Charter Captains will be available in the Expo area to talk fishing and answer your questions. It’s also a great opportunity to get ready for the season by upgrading your Tackle and Equipment by shopping in the Expo so that you’re ready to go when the weather breaks in the Spring. See WWW.LOTSA.ORG for all of the details.
  16. Brian (Total Chaos) has lots of good stuff on his website. He used to have a great, very active message board too untill the dirtbag spammers/hackers screwed with it one too many times and he scrapped it. http://www.fishsalmonriver.com/totalchaos/ Tim
  17. OK cool, didn't have the reg book in front of me and was curious. Thanks, Tim
  18. Bob, Garelick does make a swim platform kicker bracket, but I can't say first hand how they work. I have a full width teak swim platform on the back of my Thompson that I don't want to remove to put a kicker on (that's where the 176 qt cooler goes ), and found this one last year when researching options: http://www.shipstore.com/SS/HTML/GAR/GAR71078.html I haven't done anything about a kicker yet so I haven't tried it myself. Tim
  19. New Fishing Show for 2008 - The Lake Ontario Trout & Salmon Association (LOTSA) will be putting on a Lake Ontario / Niagara River Fishing Expo and Flea Market on Sunday February 24, 2008. The show will be held in the Cornell Cooperative Extension, 4H Center in Lockport, New York. It will run from 10am to 4pm with Seminars running on the hour by some very well known Charter Captains. The expo will feature many Charter Captains and Tackle Manufacturers talking fishing, showing off their latest tackle and selling used tackle at Flea Market prices. A full day admission pass will be a $5 donation to the Pen Rearing programs. So, save the date and come join us for an early kickoff to the 2008 fishing season! See here for more information: http://www.lotsa.org/2008%20EXPO.htm
  20. Makes sense to me. You get what you ordered, then you complete the transaction. Tim
  21. not on the clicker, just back the drag off so it creeps out under tension. That way the dipsey fishes it's way on out to it's final destination. Tim
  22. always get the starboard wire diver started first, then as that is in the rod holder creeping out, I drop the probe rigger (also starboard). Repeat the procedure on port side, core/copper after those are down and set. It's great when that first diver rod gets whacked as it's creeping out while I'm setting the probe rigger. Happens quite a bit. Tim
  23. Sounds good Bill, Hey did you get the e-mail I sent the other day about LOTSA's upcoming event? Tim
