How high off the water should the planer mast be? -
My grand father was born on March 14th 1879........

I am looking for an old Cannon mini-troll.The only parts that need to be good are the wheel,handle and break part because I intend to use it as a planer board line reel on a planer board mast that I am building. thank you, Cornelis

As I type this I am looking at 4 healthy deer laying in my backyard in Brighton just off Elmwood Avenue.Whatever gets them out in the wild has not yet reached the suburbs. Me thinks that the first sightings of Coyote in our suburbs is not far off.They will probably bring rabies and attacks on pets,maybe even small children.Let's hope that Coyote hunting will be promoted before coyote poisoning is needed.

What you say about ethanol not damaging fiberglass is true.the problem is with the glue that was used in older tanks,this glue dissolves .

Today,the state of Michigan filed suit against the Corps of engineers in an effort to make the corps close a 5 mile stretch of the canal thereby completely disconnecting the Mississippi from the Great Lakes.

Thanks for a great job,Tom. But I would like to add to some of your ideas All your info is well grounded but I think that the investors are a few steps ahead of us. The Rochester/Ontario ferry comes to mind. The investors gave themselves huge salaries during the planning and development stages while they gathered loans and took care not to invest any of their own money. As the project advanced past the point of no return all sorts of extra costs appeared out of nowhere, and the politicians who had promoted the projects had their careers to think of,so they coughed up the money(yours and mine).In the end the ferry appeared and failed, leaving the bill behind for you and me. Renaissance Squire (with $16+ million wasted in planning) and the Rhinos stadium are similar examples. After having seen all the information that you produced,I can only conclude that these wind mills are doomed to fail just like the other projects,but along the way to their demise some people will get very rich and we will yet again be served with a very hefty bill.Even if these projects never come of the ground, the "investors"will have made a very hefty bundle of money and they will own a few more politicians all of this at our expense I do support alternative energy,but this project is not about producing energy,it is about some people getting very rich at our expense. -
The obvious alternative would be to convert to judaism. BUT then you would have to contend with your now jewish wife laying guilt trips on you ALL year.

There is the alternative possibility of buying a Garmin cd called U.S. Recreational Lakes with Fishing Hot Spots East v5. Down load it into your computer and buy an empty cartridge for your 182 GPS now all you have to do is go into the disc,pick what lakes you want and down load them into the cartridge. Now stick the cartridge back in the GPS unit and that is all there is to it. The cartrides are available on eBay and so are the gizmos that you need to stick the cartridge in, in order to connect to your computer.I have all the East coast with every single lake on one 120 meg cartridge which cost me $28 and I did not even use half the cartridge.The whole thing cost me $150 not $300 This also gives you the ability off setting up way points and charting a course at home in front of your computer and downloading it into your cartridge, That way you can set up your course of the day in the comfort of your home. I have used this system for 5 years now and it works great.

Musky in central Lake Ontario
rolmops replied to BP Swing's topic in Musky, Tiger Musky & Pike (ESOX)
I got one in the thousand islands,but that would not really count. -
I fish 2 leadcore lines with 17 colors each.That is all that will fit on the reels (daiwa 57lc).I use them mostly on Keuka lake trolling live bait for lakers and I find that at 1.6 mph with 14 colors out I can make it down to 110 feet.The more streamlined the bait, the deeper it goes.With dream weaver super slims I can get close to the same depth but anything bigger brings the lines up a lot higher.I guess it is the water resistance of the lure in combination with the weight of the line. 18 and 27 pound test have the same amount of lead per foot so 18 pounds gets you a lot deeper. A real interesting sinker is being made by the stinger company.They call them dive bombs.They may make a very big difference. As for inline planer boards,not a good idea.20 colors weight quite a few pounds by them selves.Every time I reel in 13 or 14 colors it feels like a huge fish.If you add an inline planer to that, you will need a very heavy duty fishing rod

Did you ever think of adding a layer of gluvit and then paint it?
-
You may want to look into the Humminbird 575.It transduces on 3 different frequencies,which gives you a very wide beam and although it is black and white,it has 16 shades.They are not usually available in stores and have to be bought online. When I bought mine last year it was $245,and that is probably what it is now.

Longline wrote: Those big companies that introduced "push 1 for English" are also the ones that put braile on drive up ATMs. Tom B. (LongLine) Yes it seems to be the stupidest thing they ever did,but they only did it so as not to have to create different keys for walk ups and drive ups

I believe that punching a button to get English or Spanish was introduced by several large businesses that were trying to sell their goods to everybody in this great country.It was picked up later by many others including government. I never new that hiring illegal aliens at less than minimum wages was a liberal democrat thing.I always though that ruthless capitalists were responsible.

County lines extend to the high water line at their border.The Lake is State,not County.

I really have to take issue with the idea of these "forbidden areas" After 9/11 there was a fear of terrorist activity which, if aimed at nuclear plants can indeed cause a disaster.There is no reasonable comparison between a windmill and a nuclear plant because windmills do not have radiation or fall out or any other disastrous result if attacked.The worst that can happen is that one or two out of a proposed 560 generators can fall down. That would hardly be a terrorist target.Therefore I do believe that forbidden zones will not be more than safety areas right under the propellers where I would not want to be anyway. I travel quite frequently in Europe and I have seen the huge wind mill farms off the Dutch and German coast in the North Sea. They are mostly greyish and sort of melt into the landscape.Most Germans and Dutchmen I talked with and asked about these wind mills said that they got used to them and they are now part of the landscape,almost like they were always there.Many people were quite proud that they were doing something about the energy crisis. If you ever have a chance to travel in North West Germany or North East Holland you will see very many "wind farms" with cows grazing underneath and dairy farmers are happy to be wind farmers as well

There is probably a lot to be gained when that sort of bartering is done in a smart way.
-
NIMBY all over again. The truth is that we have an energy problem.It is also true that windmills can be part of the solution. Accusing Albany of a problem that we are all partly responsible for creating does not strike me as being effective in any way. As for letting business people run it... ENRON,CHRYSLER,GMC,AIG,THE BANKS,WALLSTREET. Private business is potentially just as corrupt and greedy as government can be. On the positive end of things.Windmills do produce energy.They also provide a lot of local work for maintenance. The general attitude of not wanting change here,will make that change happen somewhere else and we will become a third world country,with only ourselves to blame.

Dream Weaver SS Kevorkian did the magic for me. But Ray is completely right when he mentions that every day is different and spoons should be selected accordingly

This afternoon I was in Gander Mountain in Henrietta and I noted a brand new 840 Fish Hawk (transducer,viewer and probe)on sale for $450.If you want one, then this is your chance to get it cheap!

That does look like a great bracket. But what about the trailering part? Do you have to make adjustments to your trailer in order to keep the right amount of tongue weight? Or do you remove the outboard when you trailer your boat?

Ethanol has been in our gas in Rochester and most of the country for that matter for the past 8 years. Ethanol will loosen up dirt in your lines and old tanks.This dirt will make it to your injectors unless you have good filters along the way.There is no need for 2 stroke outboards to go higher than 87 octane,so unless you run a 4 stroke you can stick with 87. Ethanol will dry up and crack old (pre 2000) rubber fuel lines and rubber seals and gaskets. Just make sure that whatever fuel lines you buy have "alcohol resistant " printed on the line or package. The one point where ethanol will cause trouble is with fiber glass fuel tanks because it will dissolve the seams and that is bad news. If you want to put a stabilizer in your fuel then you should go with "Sea Foam",because this not only stabilizes,it also decarbs and cleans your injectors and carburetors and on top of that you can also use it to winterize your engine when you get it in a spray bottle.It is available in car parts stores.(advanced auto parts and the like)
