FISHINMAN

I have the Matrix 37 and found it to be a pretty good unit for the price which at the time was in the window of what I could afford. I know that in discussing it with others they did mention the Hummingbird being good for bass fishing. Did have it die on me this past year after having it for only 1 and half years. They charged me $89 flat rate to repair it plus my cost of shipping it to them. Don't use the side view much but have tinkered with it some. You can hook up your hand held gps to it by just buying a plug for it. Picks up the rigger ball so so at times. Not a bad unit for the $$. I have fished on both Ray K or Jax boats and can't remember what there units were (they have the same) but there units were nice and I don't think they were that much more $$. I am sure you can contact both of them and they will give you the skinny. Research, research!

I have At&T also. Hey uses no minutes to call the buffy one :shock: I'll call him every morning around 4 am now I will say they have the worst billing on earth. I will say that with the exception of all the crap my son has that he has to pay for himself I am not getting screwed over as far as the normal phone use goes. They did however throw on the $20 charge for internet and a charge for texting that I had gotten rid of after the first month that was free and it appeared again last month out of the blue. The ole ball and chain took care of setting them straight with that crap though... Good women I have there sometimes :shock:

HE'S ALIVE:shock: ! STEVE'S ALIVE

Icekimo, the pickerel don't get nearly as big as the pike do. Does seem like a lot of fish no released back but I can understand the harvesting too. Would like to know how big of a lake that was though. Gray fox that water must have made it a bit tricky to get to the tip ups.

Jeewwwweeeee NICE STEEL No Ray you are NOT smarter than a fifth grader. I am though impressed that you could spell fifth grader :shock:

Mark I will talk to my fish guy on Monday that is in Honolulu to see if he has any friends or contacts for ya too! JUST THINK MARK.... HERE TODAY, GONE TO-MAUI

:!:

Buffy it's "Lake Ontario United" not "Lake Ontario Trout and Salmon United" :shock: Leave the guy alone you bully Starfish nice smallie and great photo. Now as far as the crocs go I wear mine everyday at work :shock: you know what that is right :?: Remember you do that and they pay you so you can get fishing equipment, gas, food and in your case beer and hookers ..... Opps I mean hooks :shock:

You guys are richer than this guy. That's just plain nuts. I lose a regular round cannon ball at $25-30 and I want to but $80 + and I'm killing somebody :shock: :evil:

Aint that the truth Longline! Did you notice that they were using frozen fish too (plus I am sure that there was fresh also)? That's part of the problem, they are not frozen properly right away to begin with. The fish is not inspected closely like meats are either. Never eatin at a Red Lobster :shock: and never will . They use crappy warm water lobsters. Yuck city :shock: :x

That was an interesting news program there Bob, but I think that its blowing it a bit out of wack too. I have used black tiger shrimp farm raised in Vietnam for years without one single problem, it all depends on if its from a reputable company or not as is the case with most items. There are the same problems in this country with seafoods that are not watched closely like clams, oysters, mussels. I personally get my fish for the restaurant from a company in Honolulu that is run by a former marine biologist. It couldn't be fresher If you dig deep enough your bound to turn up something. Look at what the guy from Georgia said about what he sees from their testing. I am sure there are problems out there it's just a matter of watching what you buy. Chef T

That's it guys have at it!

What we really need to pass these long winter days is a good ole fashin Skeiner - vs - Stix all out photo shop fight Of course I would not be oppsed to anyone else jumping in too!

Stumbled across this. The darn thing looks like a dolphin. http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/fish ... id=3094873

Thanks for the call Jeeeeewwwwwwweeeeeee :roll: Was the Steelie the only fish? Good call on the going to work part too :shock:

Jax! What you got foot disease?

Ray come on! I lose 1 fish with ya and I can't live it down! Jason did you ever see a hook sharpener out for those rusty hooks :shock: :?: Me either! How about the time last year at the Pro Am? Sick as a dog, can hardly stand, 6 footers and I land the biggest salmon of the day I still love ya though. Give me a shout I would love to give Seneca a try some time

YT, why chase? Are they running from you for some reason? Must be the baby blue crocs

Thanks Billy, I can get that probe I had problems getting before :x

Because they did cheat! They got caught twice :shock: :evil:

Billy and Rick. Nice web sites you've built. Only thing you might change Rick is to maybe photo shop out that guy in the red hat

Muskybob not sure of the "Venison Jerky" but I am sure that there will be a short, little, crazy, "BUFFY JERKY" out there

Brian I just changed my vote to the Oak for that reason I fished primarily from Braddocks Bay to Webster Park for most of the last 12 years until this past year when I fished 90% of the time out of Sandy Creek (Hamlin) and think that that's the best as far as I am concerned for all around species from spring right on through to mid-late fall. Maybe there are more fish there because Jax's drops so many :shock: and there are more out there to be grabbed. Hi Jeeeeewwwwwweeeee! I know that the past few years out of I-Bay it didn't seem as good for me personally. Never fished FH but it seems from what I have read it's more brownies in the spring with a VERY FEW kings, then in come the kings later towards the start of summer. Billy very interesting topic though. I also think that from this site there are less guys that post from that neck of the woods too.

Dieselhp, that would more reason to go! One less cheatin bas%@*# :x

Stix that is us (Ray K, Musky Bob and Myself) down there That's what we plan on fishing out of in the Pro Am to give guys a shot :shock: Notice that you can't see the tether lines that much? It's because we are using Seagur 20# Florocarbon lines. Once again nice work on your part it's been a long while since we've seen your handy work. Keep it coming because it makes the winter seem a whole lot shorter
