  1. had a little on our braid dipsies (olcott), but not enought to worry about yet
  2. ditto. There may be a few Okuma haters out there, but this is a nice reel, esp when you can find them for $90
  3. Damn that's purdy
  4. Is it bad that I clicked on Tim's picture just to see what web browser he uses?
  5. I fished with John before the WHI and observed for him. Great guy with great friends. They were one of the few boats in the WHI to actually get fish. Someone observe for these guys!! Good luck at the Pro/Am John!
  6. Sounds about right, maybe with some pretzels and BBQ chips thrown in
  7. Just bought three for $258 shipped. You WON'T find them cheaper. Sent them a message, made me an auction, got them 3 days after I pad for them. Even though he's asking more for them now, they are still cheaper than any place I found online. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121079830949?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
  8. anyone go out yet???
  9. Anyone else from the WNY area interested? Still have some trays available
  10. meat rigs work. Almost always have one out
  11. I'm not a huge fan of running to the bait shop before I go out in hope they have my herring, so the only way to ensure I have what I want is to order ahead of time. But, places only ship herring by the case, and there's no way I'm gunna use 20 trays in a season, let alone two. So, are there two other guys that are interested in splitting a case? Preferably in the western NY area since it would all be shipped to one location. I'm looking to get it from Calumet Marine and is $160 shipped. If anyone is interested, shoot me a PM and we can work it out.
  12. Didn't think so. Just making sure. Thanks Paul.
  13. we picked up a Furuno 587 and ended up getting a transom mount 'ducer. we were looking at the thru-hulls too, but weren't 100% sure on what we needed. Pretty sure you will need just one transducer to replace the factory (if you have one). BUT, make sure is has an tilted element to compensate for deadrise. (like the Airmar B60)
  14. does anyone need an observer for any tourneys west of rochester? (other than WHI and the Pro Ams)
  15. Sometimes I'm glad kings don't get this big... http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/blog/508 ... like+that/
  16. I've seen both FF you are looking for in action, and liked the Furuno much better so, after doing all the research you are probably doin, we went with the 587. Hardest part is picking the transducer. The difference between the 585 and 587 is bottom discrimination, which also calls for a different, little more expensive transducer. We picked up a transom mount that is HUGE (http://www.airmartechnology.com/2009/pr ... anf=Furuno). Didn't realize it was as big and heavy as it was until we had it in person. It's like the size of a Gatorade bottle. Hope th is helps.
  17. You telling me Nick has put your baby in the slip in the 'cott? that's a big baby
