    X2 on the Chamberlain, I have used many many releases over the past 40 years and in my opinion the adjustable operation of the Chamberlain is hard to beat. Tight to the rod release and light enough not to drag a 14" walleye

    Walleye and riggers

    Also good luck on riggers, never short 15'-20' though, may have to give that a try.

     

    One way that really works great on eyes on riggers and will satisfy you friend with rod in hand.

     Run leads at least 50' back drop the rigger to the bottom and pop it, hold on to rod, don't reel much, lift, drop, reel slow and WAM walleye on! The lures goes down, up, flutters differently and the attack mode kicks it

    Aluminum boat work recommendations?

    in This Old Boat

    Posted

    I own a 1997 LOWE and it has an aluminum floor. I just removed all the carpet too, lifted the floor and added a little closed cell foam where it was light from the factory. Changed out the fuel and vent lines, checked out condition of tank and the framing of the boat, all good, and nice to see how it was made. Used large head pop rivets to put the floor back down, sealing everything for a water tight install, primed and ready for top coating.

    I'm sure you could get a sheet of aluminum and never have to worry about a wood floor again. My boat does have marine wood blocking where the seats are mounted but thats it.

    Anyone seeing any grouse?

    western NY they have been gone for a long time now, sure you may be able to find one, but most days that 1 is a great day. 40 years ago me and a buddy would hunt them with no dog and get shots every time out. Hitting them was another story with no pointer at your side.

    another idea, find all dealers within a reasonable amount of travel and ask them if and when they have any boats coming in, so you can be sure to get a ride back. Or go back to the manufacture and ask them for their scheduled deliveries, maybe a worst case you would have to travel a bit to get your boat on a ride back. Last resolve bite the bullet deliver it yourself and back charge them for your expense.

    I’m bringing him 14 reels tomorrow. He’s still in business.

    He fixed a cannon for me maybe 5 years ago and told me he was retiring, great to see he stayed with it. Very nice guy, I first did business with him over 30 years ago when he was on Niagara st in Buffalo
