times two

I know a guy that has an older baha, lots of stuff. Stringers redone, in that range, I think. Was a charter boat. PM me if you want the phone #. John

I've been running the Convector 30's for 5 seasons now. Really like them, and they have held up really well. Only complaint, which really isn't much of one, is I find the "clicker" to be a bit loud. John

In the 1990's, I owned a sea nymph with a 70hp evinrude. Had the same problem. Recall that the mechanice told me the only real way to try to prevent it was to disconnect the hose, elevate it for the winter so the fuel drained back into the tank. That was more hassle then it was worth, so I just kept an extra bulb on board, and changed it out about every other year. John

Thanks Tim! You guys did another great job. I don't know if it was the weather, but it sure did seem like there were alot more people interested in talking fishing this year! Count me in for the next one! John

In my area, I made arrangement with the chef at Ellicottville Brew Pub to do that for any of my clients that want to. Same kind of deal....cook it, with sides for some fair rate. No one has yet, as often it seems as though they would stay the night before the charter, but not the night of. Honestly, I keep meaning to take some over myself....but haven't yet. Also heard that the Barcelona Harbor House in Barcelona has done that from time to time..... John

Looking forward to seeing all of our Lake Ontario friends! Tim, Joe and the LOTSA guys do an awesome job! A great way to spend a February Sunday......come on out and say hello! John

Still Available. I will have these with me at the LOTSA show if you wish to look at them. John

Creative Imprint Systems in Erie, PA. I moved around to 3 or 4 people before I ended up with CIS last year. VERY PLEASED. They are awesome!! Ask for Jeremy and tell him Times Two referred you. 814-835-1000 www.creativeimprintsystems.com John

Got mine in Dunkirk last Saturday.

I don't have crocs. Are they warm on a 45 degree day? ** The only problem I have with the PFG's is the water holes too. If you hose the boat floor down, and all the water hasn't drained yet, it comes in the holes!

Looking at finally getting a few days in early May on LO. I have all the appropriate cold weather clothing, but am wondering...what do you guys wear on your feet? In the summer, I use the PFG guide shoes from Columbia, which are awesome and non-skid... but would not be warm in early May. I also have the LLbean rubber moccasins, but they really are not non-skid..... So, what do you use?

For sale: 2 combo's - Okuma 30D Linecounters with 10' Okuma Blue Diamond Dipsey rods model BD-C-1002MH-1. Regular tips. Rods/reels were purchased new in the spring of 2010. Very good condition. Reels are spooled with 30Lb power pro. Selling these because I have the opportunity to get a couple new setups via Okuma to maintain program status with them. Asking $200.00 for the pair. If the prospective buyer wants to save on shipping, I will gladly hold and bring to the LOTSA show in February. John

I did my license with Dennis Daniels (Sea Tech). He offered the Masters and the Towing as part of the class (as an additional cost). John

Interesting article.... http://www.sportfishingmag.com/news/cap ... news013012

Sean: What do you get at this time of year? John

Nice rig, Jeremy! Where did you find her?

Thanks Sean. I'm sure you have the same internal groan I do when you see someone get onboard with dark soles....especially black crocs or sandals! Even with the various cleaners out there, it still is a lot of work cleaning that up. So for cleanup, what do you do, just fold it 1/2 at a time? Sent you a brief pm. John

Sean: Thinking of using this on my Seaswirl. Non skid surface is gradually loosing the non-skid surface. I would have to make a few more cuts that you look like you had to. What did you cut it with? Also, from front to back and side to side is your's tight? I guess I'm wondering if it moves or slides at all. Thanks. John

Thanks for the replies. I think I'm going iphone. Before I do, what does FX have so I avoid that??!

Okay...time for me to move up in my phone technology. So, I figure an xmas present to myself can be a smartphone. Went to the local verizon retailer and left there with a Big Headache. More research on the 'net; ask everyone I see.... I think I'm headed towards the iphone 4s. Anyone have experience with iphones? Good? If not, what might I consider...? Thanks. John

Had a 225hp 2 stroke. That blew up this summer. Don't ask me for a recommendation for Evinrude ( Repowered with the Yamaha 4 stroke, love that so far. Pro's--- very quiet and no fumes!! Con, I think I do sit a bit lower in the water. Guys at the marina figured that I'll spend less in oil and filters than I had to for plugs and oil in the 2 stroke. John

It's a ways off, I know, but I'm trying to line up 5-7 days in early May to stay and fish Wilson. SO, what I'm looking for are places to rent close to Wilson. I did stay at the marina one time, which was nice, but I'm looking for more like a cottage, where we can cook, warm up, etc. Would be 2-4 of us likely. Appreciate any suggestions. John

jimmyi: Not an expert on the perch at the Oak, but I was there Monday and there was a guy that I know fishing perch, and he had a few nice ones. John

Mick: We were up for the weekend too. Stayed at Wewanchu. Very surprised they weren't busier... Were up for perch, as we nailed them last October. Not many keeper size, lots of small ones and sunnies too. Kept my son happy, though. (Probably should have fished Erie heard they whacked the perch this weekend). John
