  1. you would want the counters to work right if you are in shallow water. it's not really a shortcut by just adding new cable. it only takes a few minutes to strip the old off. all this typing you could have had it done by now
  2. why not just remove the old cable? that will be alot of cable. you should strip back the coating a little any how. it's pretty easy to install. the instructions were a little intunidating to me, but when i got done i realized it was prety easy. as far as wear goes, as long as you don't have any burr's it should be fine. no matter how you do it the coating will wind against the metal cable anyway.
  3. yes. when we lose signal we put a wet rag over the spring and the cable. we get signal untill the rag dries out and repeat. i have tried everything thinking i did somthing wrong during installation, i think i even changed the cable but nothing fixed it. we just bought the new fish hawk. i hope it works better.

  5. texting while fishing? isn't that considered a distraction? i don't know what the other guy is doing, but un texes you could go to jail if someone see's you doing that in public.
  6. wehad to do the same thing. i assume you are talking about the depth raider? we have a rag on the bout just for that. when we talked to the manufacture they had never heard of it, but it seems like a common issue.
  7. most people don't have boat insurance unless it's got a lean on it. I surely do and my boat has no lean on it. That would be asking for trouble. I'd rather not have insurance on my car. A least my car has brakes to stop. A boat just bobs and weaves. i agree. but alot of people think it wont happen to them.

  9. i live in altmar and havn't heard a thing in a while. for somereason it is kinda kept hush hush, which in my opinion is a bad thing. i think the heat should stay on them som nobody forgets the severity of this.
  10. deffinetly alot of fun. buzz baits too. i am hitting the estuary sunday am for some top water action. gets my blood racing just thinking about it.
  11. believe it or not the banjo minnow is awsome! i thought it was going to be a joke, but it is the cats @ss. i think it works better on pike than bass.
  12. they usually jig it with pretty good results. you can troll but it is kinda narrow and with other boats and people fishing from the banks it makes it tough. i dont get down there much anymore and when i do i concentrate on norhterns and bass. i have a friend who loves jigging the ditch and has good success.
  13. and just when you thaought it was going to be a bad day. my daughter is only 2 but i am looking forward to those days.
  14. i have actually heard of this happening. i doubt it's true but the guy swears it is. the guy who did it could not get the boat to plane off. he had to get the manufactures rep to come to the launch to tell him you are supposed to take the boat off the trailer. as i said it cant be true but he says it is.
  15. i used to fish the ranger series out in dunkirk and port clinton ohio. deffinitly some big fish in that lake. how is onieda lake? i fished it once when i was about 7 years old but cant remember much about it. another good place for big eyes is the state ditch at cross lake.
  16. i believe you need to be licensed with the county to do this. i wish i was.you could try solva's out of pulaski. 298-4222
  17. i have used epoxy before with no problems.
  18. i have been following this story pretty closely from the start because it is so disturbing. i live in altmar not far from the spot it happened. at first the locals were so upset they were talking about burning his cabins down etc... now it seems most have forgotten about it. their nefew used to work for me. he is a really nice guy but he even said to stay away from those guys. i rarely hear anything good about them. i have been heard that the investigators have not contacted any wittenissis. i personnaly have never met pat but i have met bob and i hope they get the book thrown at them. i was not there to see this go down so i don't know the whole story but what i do know is this is very disturbing and should not be treated lightly. just my two cents.
  19. that makes sence. thanks for the info.
  20. is there a less chance of a tangle while turning with a bow mount? i don't see alot of these. of course i havn't been looking either.
  21. what is the advantage of a bow mounted mast over center mounted? we just got a new (to us) penn yann and needs to be set up. i want to do this right the first time. any other set up trick or ideas would be great also.thanks.
  22. it is normal for the oil pressure to drop alot when it is warm. might be time for an oil change though. i run hd30. try a bottle of motor honey if it does not get any better. how many hours on the boat?
  23. Well, now I know I haven't been fishing right- that stretch of the river going into the reef is right where my camp is!!! Thanks for the info- I'm going to try harder. also you could go through the ditch towards bvill. there are a couple islands back in. i go on the back side.
  24. alot of times we go to the south east end in the cove by the big island. or if you head back toward the reef just past the state ditch. all along that stretch on the left. try jigging with worms. i have also caught some at the north west end.
