bout time

I have a trophy 2352 with a 5.7 V8. At one point there was an oil leak and now the bilge is thick grease. I cannot reach the bottom of the bilge to scrub it and the boat sits on a trailer currently. I have ready many posts about bilge cleaner, dishwashing liquid, simple green, etc. Wondering what my best options are and what everyone else uses? 'Bout Time Mike

If you're interested in that type of finish it'd be easier to buy rubber replaceable netting. Just need to know the size. I use a rubber net for browns but a regular one for salmon. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

For me personally this hits home. I just underwent shoulder surgery and will not be able to bow hunt for 2-3 years at best (if ever again). I have talked to the local DEC officer and my injury does not qualify for a "allowance" to use a crossbow or other such bow during the normal bow season. The law is more geared towards permanently disabled and/or amputees. I have never truly considered cross bow as I was a hardcore compound guy, but this has definitely opened my eyes about it. Maybe if they don't open it to everyone but rather change the law that allows hunters with certain injuries to hunt with a crossbow during normal season. They would have to produce a doctors note and obtain a special permit allowing it. I'm not sure there is a correct answer in "everyone's" eyes but can can tell you how bad it hurts to hear you may never be able to do something again when it is your true passion. It will be tough to "sit on the sideline" for a month or so awaiting for the crossbow season to open this year. I generally put in 30-35 days in the woods out of a normal bow season which is roughly 45 days....... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I also have high seas rod tree. I also couldn't pass up the price I got on eBay for them. Great quality and no issues so far. I only use mine for early brown trout season and later in the end of season when fishing the top 30'. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I run 13 and 15 lb torpedos on my cannons (mag 10HS and STX) with no problem. I also run 12-14 lb sharks without issues. Make sure you are using heavy gauge wiring for your power connection. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I had labrum done. Because my tear was longer than normal and more posterior (in the back) than anterior it has drastically increased my rehab time.....I'm a former motocross racer, catcher in baseball for 20 years, not to mention all the hunting, fishing and all other work. I was told it was probably an old injury which just keep getting worse as time went on...... 'Bout Time Mike

Quick update not going so well. It is determined that I have nerve damage now. I am behind in all aspects of recovery from range of motion to muscle strengthening. With that said I was told I'm looking at a 2-3 year recovery period and hope to be at 85-90% when all done. I was told at the 6 month mark I am lucky to be at 30% which is deer season. So here is my next question. What would everyone suggest as a good cross bow without breaking the bank ? Nothing against cross bows I just never imagined myself using them .... Harsh reality but it's better than not being able to get out 'Bout Time Mike

Lol - Yes it Is. The boat had a C80 ( 8" ) screen to start with. When looking for a replacement I couldn't pass up the deal on this one (it's 12"). It actually works great because I can see it from The back of the boat without squinting. Problem I have is guys on board think it's like a TV and tend to watch that more then the rods .......

You'll love the flush mounts. They look great, they're out of the way, really clear up a lot of dash space, and it's nice having everything right there 'Bout Time Mike

These are called leader mates and made by a company called Luna Sea or Cush It. It sounds similar to what you are looking for 'Bout Time Mike

Pm sent on rod holders if letsfish isn't interested 'Bout Time Mike

It's like the stuff for sale here or even at garage sales. Some guys think their stuff is worth a million and others are looking to unload it at a bargain. I picked up a diver rod with twill tip paired with a okuma convector line counter 30d for 25 bucks. Not that I needed it but it was a good deal and will work as a "backup rod". I also picked up 3 echip flashers paired with atommik files for $15. Again not needing them but always good to have extras at those prices. It is definitely a place where if you see it and want it, buy it because chances are you won't get a second chance at it. It was good to see many guys that I haven't seen in a while and beats sitting home watching the snow. 'Bout Time Mike

It is the same no matter where you go. There were deals to be had but had to look through all the "other" stuff. Some guys always put crazy prices on things and others are looking to just unload some stuff and not get rich. 'Bout Time Mike

Never seen a camera but I did see an old timer that used a larger mirror to watch his rods. It was a waterski type mirror. He had a bad neck and couldn't turn around that good and it worked well for him 'Bout Time Mike
