Hey Bucky fill me in on those drags. What are tuna toms drags ? never heard of them. Last year I dumped 6 new 47LC's because the drags where all crap. They were not the same reels I got in 2011!
Chinese crap...
Is there a fix for them as that was my only complaint was the drags? Tough to find a good reel for up here that isn't a fortune. I just sent back some AbuGarcia Ambassodor reels that cost $119 for the same thing , crap drags.
I have 10 of the newer 47LC's and have noticed that the drags on some are real "lumpy" ie. pulsating when a fish is pulling drag. I had the drag on one upgraded at Tuna Tom's and it feels very smooth. I haven't put it in use yet so I don't know how it works with a fish. It has no lube. FWIW, I asked them about lube, and they said either way but they doubted I would need it in fresh water.

Got a dock.
Thanks guys.
-
A friend has been looking around for a dock for a 20' aluminum (Fri, Sat, Sun). Can't find one. PM me if you know of any availability.

They do look like Hi-Techs. I don't remember having any with dimples. Not aware that they are still in business. Haven't seen any for sale in a long time.

I have the same issue with a 10' beam on my 27' Amberjack. You are required to have a special use permit. This is done at the NYSDOT not the NYSDMV. There are forms to fill out requiring trailer info and load specifics. You can find it all online but it is a little hard to understand at first. I found that calling the DOT in Rochester (Jefferson Rd.) to be quite helpful. They explained things well. There is a minimum insurance required as well. Some of the traveling requirements are flags on all 4 corners, oversize load banners on front & back, and a flashing yellow light on the tow vehicle. It is a little intimidating at first but I have been doing it for about 4 years and now I renew by using the old form and put in new dates. It used to cost me about $60-80 for a one month permit. I now get a yearly permit for about $380. There are also time and day restrictions. This info is just approximate from memory, but should give you an idea. PM me is I can help further.

unfortunately, our kind of fishing doesn't give us the right of way:
from the USCG Rules of the Road, annex:
(d) The term "vessel engaged in fishing" means any vessel fishing with nets, lines, trawls, or other fishing apparatus which restrict maneuverability, but does not include a vessel fishing with trolling lines or other fishing apparatus which do not restrict maneuverability.

I think the one on the right is from the Pirate "Chrystalina" (sp) series from years past.

Leaderboard shows Rich and crew on top at the end of the OOO with a good lead. Nice job.
Nice job also by Ace, Rebel, Thrillseeker, and the rest of the leaders.

Billy,
For what its worth,
I had a "95" Lund 245 HT and had similar flex with similar backing. I just lived with it for 5 yrs. and saw no issues.

FWIW, I just replaced the alternator on one of my 4.3 liters. The belt looked pretty good, but I got to thinking that carrying a spare belt would be cheap insurance for the $20 cost. I had done this on earlier boats but not gotten around to it on this one. Just a thought. BTW, the belt tightening on these engines is very easy as others have mentioned.

Lighthouse in Olcott.
Have stayed there many times. Nothing fancy, but clean & reasonable for a fishing crew. Lighthouse Motel

Dale, you might try Guerinteed Archery on Rt.21 just south of 441. Todd set up my 15 yr. old granddaughter w/ a used bow last year. He is friendly & helpful.

Weren't there Friday when I launched. You can use the wall.

I put a piece of tape on the reel and label it with a sharpie. That way when you change your set up you can pull off the tape and put on a new piece or just put a new piece over it and relabel it.
Just did these yesterday after putting new leaders on copper & leadcore. I like the look of the labelmaker examples in other posts.

Are beads like we use for trolling flies available in super glow?

Don't forget about phoning in with all the info before you cross the boarder.

Is the Coast Guard in the Rochester area capable of receiving and acting on distress transmissions from DSC radios? Does anyone know of someone who has used it in this area? If so, how well did it work?

I like 7 strand Malin. If possible, don't break down your dipsey rods and wind your swivel up to the twilly tip to prevent kinks.

I have this setup and have used for the last 4 years. GLP quality is good and they are very easy to deal with. Personally, I would buy directly from Great Lakes Planers. I have had excellent experience in customer service with Tony the owner.
