I'd be looking for a newer (2000 or newer) Baha or Penn Yan in the 28ft range. Total Chaos

How about this?? 2007 Trophy 2302, 225 Mercury Verado that sips gas, has the power to pull tubes and skiers. Nice cuddy with sink, frig, head with a pump out, and sleeps 2 easily. Could sleep 3 if you have a child. It handles 5-6ft waves no problem. It's a walk around so you can cast all the way around the boat. Has a nice trailer easily towable with what you have and it's a fish catcher. Did I say it's good on gas?? Run out 10 miles, troll for 8-10hrs and run back on 10 gals or less. Another good thing is I mounted everything in recessed rodholders so if you want to good for a ride or tube, just pull the pedestals off quick by pulling a pin and all the fishing stuff is off. Nothing is permantly mounted. May be selling mine at the end of the season to upgrade to a bigger boat. Here's a pic. Total Chaos

Go to Pricechopper and buy a salmon fillet, it'll be a lot cheaper on the wallet. Total Chaos

With the upwelling fish are in tight. Try 50-80 fow. I was out last night and although I didn't crush them in 2 1/2hrs I did do 6 Browns (1 of which was 15.6lbs) a Laker and a skippy King. 70 fow was best with riggers down 50-58ft. All spoons, no FF. Dipsys were dead. Green was best. In the morning same thing but with the overcast early blue was best. Total Chaos

Down 120ft + with some bait mixed in. Within a minute the first rod fires but a swing and a miss. Wasn't long after we hook up again. Flasher flies took all the shots. White f/f in the morning then chrome f/green f in the high sun. Riggers down 130-150ft. Divers and the 500 copper got good when the sun got high. Ended with 1 Laker @12lbs, 2 Kings @8lbs, 1 @ 18lbs, 1 @23lbs, 1 @ 24 lbs, 1 @ 25 lbs and a 28.4lber. Not bad for half a day. Here's a few pics ====================

Kings from skippys to 20lbers, steelhead all over the place, browns and lakers as well. We did 2. 10lb steelies, 10+ kings to 20lbs and a laker this morning. Total Chaos

Better buy up all the Kabooms you can find because from what I read he either has or is going to be closing down the business. Total Chaos

Sounds to me like they're smart. If they made a product that the paint never came off sales would be much less. Customers would be happy but business would suffer. I hate it too but bottom line is the stinger blanks are lights out some days when nothing else works. I can't justify not buying them because the paint doesn't last. It's a visous cycle but what can you do? I love Dreamweavers but the paint comes off of them pretty quick too. They're not as bad as the stingers but they aren't perfect either. I want to catch fish so if I have to buy more spoons cause the paint comes off I chalk it up to the cost of doing business. Just my 2 cents. Total Chaos

Anyone think they should be running mag spoons here's the proof you should! I think I'll just put some hooks on my flashers. Cut this out of a 10lb King from Saturday. I could have filleted the alwife. Total Chaos

Fished out in front of the plant with my wife and 5yo daughter and we had another banner day. Double digit numbers on fish, Kings, with a few Browns and Lakers in the mix. We were 13 for 18 with my daughter reeling in most of them. Had 1 triple where my daughter reeled in a King and a Brown and my wife got a King on the dipsy. All the Kings were in the low teens. Spoons on the riggers and copper were best with 1 rip coming on a dipsy. Dipsys have been slow for me the last 2 weeks. I fished from 100-170fow. Riggers down 50-85ft. Lots of boats out made you have to work a bit for the fish as they scattered quick after the first pass. I was out by 7am and done by noon. Good day and lake conditions. Total Chaos

WOW, is all I have to say. Not everyone lives on the lake and is in the know and not everyone is an expert. If this info helps them catch fish then great. We want to promote fishing and new people to the fishery not deter them. I can't believe the mentality of some of you guys. I was out Friday and in the afternoon I didn't see one boat off the plant where I was. The morning wasn't very busy either and neither was Sat. morning. You guys that don't want the info out there need to find a new sport. Total Chaos

I fished Sat. morning and had a 2 man limit in 1hr and 10 min. Unbelievable king fishing right now. Biggest was 19lbs. Total Chaos

Here's a couple of my 4yo daughter and my neice last august out of Mexico. It was my daughters first King and Brown. It was also my neices first king as well. Total Chaos

Tim, just bought a set of the AO boards and was going to pull them off my bow rail. Where do you pull yours from? My rail is about 4ft off the water. Do you think that will be high enough. Total Chaos

someone has a set hanging around. let me know, still looking. Total Chaos

Personally when my daughter is ready to hunt in a few years I'll give her the Encore Muzzleloader with 80 grains of Blackhorn 209 and a 200 grain Shockwave. Very little recoil because of the light bullet and more than enough power to kill out to 100 yards. On a side note, I did see a realtree show years ago where David Blanton took his son out for the first time in Texas with a 223 and it did just fine. Total Chaos

My Dad made a set for his as well. I'm kind of an OEM guy. but if I can't find some I'll have to make them as well. Let me know Billy if you have any. Total Chaos

yup, saw them this morning. $60 a pop is kind of steep. I will continue to look for some used ones. Total Chaos

I know they don't make them anymore. That's why I'm looking here. I just checked ebay and did a search and I don't see any. I check ebay everyday as a matter of fact. Send me the link to it if you can. thanks Total Chaos

Anyone have a pair of locks (old style) for Cannon Mag10 HS riggers that they want to part with? Total Chaos

As I said before, I don't run anything to the batteries except the bilge pump. Everything should go to the fuse block that's tied to the perko. That way if you have a short or something you're not killing your batteries when not in use. I hooked the charging wires from the kicker directly to battery 1. Battery 2 becomes a backup and or a starting battery for the main motor. As far as interference goes if you ground everything correctly you shouldn't have any. I've had 5 boats over my life, 3 glass and to Crestliners and I never had an interference problem with the fishhawk and anything else. Thru trial and error I feel this is the best way to wire it for reliability and longevity. Just my opinion. Total Chaos

I've had 2 boats where I used the kicker to charge the batteries and I never had a dead battery. The first boat had a 9.9 4 stroke evinrude and the second had an 8hp 4 stroke yamaha. I had an I/O in the first boat and a 140hp outboard in the other. It sounds like you have your stuff hooked right to the battery. I didn't do it that way. I ran a wire from the perko switch to a fuse block and tied in any electrical stuff there. At that point I tied the charging system from the kicker to battery 1. When I was running to and from the fishing spot I would run both batteries. As soon as I stopped I would switch to battery 1 and start trolling with the kicker. When I was done trolling I would switch back to both batteries and away I go. Never had a problem doing that. The nice thing about the fuse block is when the perko switch is off everything in the boat is dead (except the bilge which should be tied direct to the battery) that way there's nothing to kill a battery. Incidently I would troll sometimes 8-10hrs with 3 riggers, 2 graphs, gps, vhf, fm, lights ect. without a problem of low voltage. The kicker kept that battery charged all the time. The battery was a deep cycle battery as well. Total Chaos
