The bases for these ?

Numbers and size were very good this winter.Few shorts some good eating size with some big ones in the mix.

I have Bert's Ratcheting rod holders on my boat.I use them for everything but my Dipsy rods.I use Down East Saltys on electronics mounts that I had.Some people on here have had problems getting jabbed with the rod butt or the rod butt taking up to much room in the boat. I have used them for years with no problem or has anyone with me.I just like my dipsy rods locked in.I run with my rod tips right at the water and fish solo often. My boat turns sharp at times while trolling against the wind just feel my dipsy rods are safer locked in.One good pull upward and the rod comes out. 

I would guess the ground wire from the sending unit should be grounded to the ground on your gauge.Here is a link with good info  .https://www.sailmagazine.com/diy/test-replace-fuel-gauge-sending-unit

I would say it is from foraging on pine with the heavy snow cover. 

   I have 2 Cannon tracks and 1 Traxstech track mounted on my boat.The Trackstech track is way more heavy duty.I have had Berts ratcheting rod holders for a few years and have been happy with them.They pull right up no need to trip any levers or anything.Cannon and Cisco rod holders are heavier duty.I have Big Jon Multi sets on my riggers and personally I am not crazy about them. 

Under the counsel that you have out is were I put 2 of my 3 trolling motor batteries.

Great fish Antony. I need some buddy's like that. 

If I was going to just use it for Walleye.I would use Suffix in a lower # test Thinner dives deeper can use smaller reel.I have some just haven't used up my 27ilb yet.https://www.fishusa.com/product/Sufix-832-Lead-Core-Line

I have always used this it's all ready to spool and easy. Always used 27lb. 10 color on Erie.But can also use it Ontario for Trout and Salmon. https://www.fishusa.com/product/Mason-Redicore-Trolling-Line

  If you plan on putting a Electric trolling motor in. While you have the floor out it is a great time to build battery compartments and run your wiring under the floor.If you plan on putting one on.If you plan on doing a live well in the future you may also want to run your drain fill line.I had to replace mine because it was cracked when I bought my boat.Fishing the new hose in around the fuel tank with the floor in was not fun.Make sure to check all of your wiring especially to your fuel tank clean the contacts check your hoses and clamps.

I have a 1990 195GLS I live next to Silver Lake. If you ever make it down this way you are more than welcome to check it out. I fish Erie often we could meet up that way also. I can get some bow pictures in a day or two.

I would suggest covering it with indoor/outdoor carpet. I refurbed an aluminum Sea Nymph a few years ago that had full length gunwales. I removed all the thin aluminum and replaced it with 2x8 treated, cut to the contour of the gunwales. I bought runner carpet at a local hardware store (usually about 2ft wide on a big roll and they sell it by the foot) and glued it to the wood. Solid as a rock and the carpet really adds a comfort level when climbing in and out...and leaning over the edge, etc. It looks great too. Everything can still be mounted through the carpet. It’s a low pile.

Pressure treated lumber shouldn't be used with aluminum.

There is a New York section post it there,

I went out of Sandy Bottom yesterday figuring the water might be less stained being so far from the inlet. I started in 13' and was able to see me lure go down to the 7 foot mark. The fishing on the other hand...I had a real hard time marking ANY fish. Bounced all over the place. Finally I found a spot that got me about a dozen or so dink perch. I stuck in that area and fired up the lantern after dark to try and call in the Crappie. Not a single blip on the Vex for nearly 2 hours. Anyways, I was grateful just to get out. I went up to Quinte over Christmas break for a couple days, started to get a bad stomach ache on the ride home and 4 days later I was on the operating table getting my appendix removed. That was followed the next week by a bad infection at the largest incision point. Anyways, I was finally feeling good enough to try and get on the ice last night so I was extremely grateful just to catch a dozen dink perch. 

I found the exact opposite fishing mid Lake Thursday.I only found Crappie. Only caught one 9in. Perch.Marked fish and caught fish in almost every hole.Depth really didn't seem to matter 20 to 30 ft.I would catch 2 or 3 fish in a hole then I wouldn't mark anymore.Drill another hole and repeat.I stayed about an  hour  after dark and only marked 1 fish.

I fished yesterday.It was differently stained.

Finished my Deer season yesterday.Shot what I thought to be a large doe.Turned out to be a buck that had already shed his horns.

Persistence usually pays off. Nice buck.

I am going to stick with my bow.

Anyone know where I can get Barnes Muzzleloader bullets in the Rochester area? I've called just about everywhere and no one seems to cary them anymore!

Try here.  Genesee Valley Shooting Supplies   I believe I saw some when I was getting some supplies last year.

One of the coolest things I have seen this season.One day last week I had a Peregrine Falcon Land about 20 ft. from me in a tree.I believe I have seen a few others in the past but not up close and personal.What a beautiful bird.Bright yellow talons and a very unique call.It was very cool.
