Here is the game I'm going to play, IMO I think that the 5" screens are going to come down in price,with all the new HDS units in 8"&10" touch screens comming out that this will calm down the price of the 5" hds5- I'm in need of a new unit also but don't see the need for a $1500.00 unit, being a week end worrior with a weeks vac. in the summer. IMO a hds5 with a 50/200 ducer will do the trick, right now they are around $650.00 let's see what happens in a few months?

WOW, they really do exist, Walleye fishermen willing to share info, THANKX guys, now this is hard water fishing let's see how talketive they will be on the first Saturday of may?

Just want to add my boat buying tradgeity, I bought a 22ft Sea Ray week ender looked sweet,it was in as in a barn all covered up, the guy I bought it from was a preacher man from a well known church in jersey I asked him if it was ever was in salt water and he said NO,( I owned the boat for 18 years and only fished lake Oneida) then his fishing buddy died and he lost intrest in the boat and had it winterized by a marina in New York, Being a man of GOD I bought his story and the boat, it's been 2 years since then and maybe this year I will get to use it finally-I have to much $ into it now to back out now.!!!!! Moral of my story is don't trust no one, get it servayed and take someone with you that knows boats inside and out even if you have to pay that person to go with you, IT will save you lots in the end (buy the way it was in salt water preacher man LIED)

That is a sweet looking bracket, did you have to modify your swim platform to accomodate the kicker bracket or did you have the room, I Will have to either remove my swim platform or some how shorten it to make room for the bracket, maybe someone on here has an idea, I would like to keep it it's where I keep my cooler, since I have a engine cover in the back, a cooler would really cram me for space, unless I put in the cuddy, That seems like it would be a PI TA.

Good luck there fish on 2 The salmon and trout guys will help you out, with practily anything, maybe even bring one to your house, but on the other hand the walleye guys on here are as tight lipped as a frogs ass!!!

I'm a little confused, Cannon parts free, Just $10.00 for shipping, opening page says $35.00 or best offer, so what is it, Best offer or free????? I'm not interested either way, just curious.

WOW, that boat is sweet looking, I can't imagin what the $$$ are to buy one, maybe if I hit the lottery!! for now I will have to stick with my 83 SeaRay, it still works good.

Nautime, that looks awsome, I have the same grid work in my swim platform and mine never looked that good, I clean it every year and it never looks that good I'm going to give your methood a shot. I have a SeaRay so there is teak wood all over and it's alot of work. Thanks for the pics. & the heads up on your methood of cleaning teak wood. PAP. From PA.

Congrats. Dan to you and your new baby boy, the world as you once new it is going to change BIG time, all for the good, it's a wonderfull new experience. I have twin girls they are going to be 8 already, time flys buy fast so enjoy every moment you have with him!! OH buy the way the girls love to fish also I taught them how to cast with open face reels already and they love to troll on the big O for what ever bites. Being a dad is a great experience, I think I can speek for alot members on here, they will tell you the same thing!! Till next time tight lines to all PAP.

Stay away from that salt water motor! I bought a boat 2 years ago that the guy said he only usde it a few time in the salt water, it looked great from the outside,but internally it was a complete throw away, the only thing I was able to use was the block, which I had acid cooked and bored 30ths. over and the rods,crank and cam shaft, all new risers heat exchangers intake, water pump, on & on $1800.00 later with me doing all the work it finally doesn't overheat!! Not to mention I lost all last season due to buying a hand gerenade! Stick with a freah water motor only. PAP

The walleye gods have spoken, Lake Erie website www.walleye.com has been saved, Walleye Rick (founder of wedsite) saved the site,it's back up and running, thanks to alot of hours and hard work from Rick.

I don't know what happened to my last post, but what I meant to say is that the foreigners loaded the site with trashy pornography, and I'm glad to see that you guys saved yourself.

If you guys think you have trouble, go to www.walleye.com I belong to that web. also, hackers totally destroyed that web. all newbies came from holland, norway, germany, and totally filled the site with please no, I'm glad to see you guys saved your site, tho I fear that walleye.com is done!!

I read the comments after the video and the guys that wrote in said that, walleye eat the Lamprey larva, that being said why don't dnr stock walleye in those streams to (help) controll the lamprey? I don't think anyone would be against that idea. Walleye return to the same area to spawn so there would always be hungry females to eat the lamprey young,and also boost the walleye population at the same time, I know lake Ontario will never be like Lake Erie but it might help it a little, like it was in the 80's . JMO.

Awsome slideshow, looks like you got it going on guy!!!

I'm really sick and tired of this stealing of fishing stuff, you work your ass off to purchase quality rods and reels to have some scumbag steal them from you,I know how you feel, I had a depthfinder stole out of my boat a few years back it was a good one also I might add, then I screwed up my back needed surgery and never could scrape enough $$ to match what I had, every boat I saw I looked to see if they had the same one as I and if they did I made it a point to check it out. My father passed away and what little was left I used that to buy the unit, we allways fished together 30 some years, so that was like taking my dad away, every time we would nail a fish the guy's would say (you did it again Jim/my dad) If I would have ever cought the bastard I would of gilled him hung over board to bleed out. So I hope you guy's find this guy and make an example out of him, the law isn't enough, time to take matters into our own hands because it's only going to get worse! with the economy in the condition it's in people will do what ever it takes to make a couple of quick bucks at everyone elses expence.I personally believe in an eye for an eye, till next time stick everything up our ass it,s the only safe place any more!!!!!

Awsome fish guy's and nice pictures

I just wanted to say that ever since I added that Sea Foam to my Expidition 5.4 I always burned $80. a week in gas for the work week now it used $60. this week and gas is $3.95 a gallon now it was cheaper when it cost me $80. a week. Don't take a rocket scientist to figure out it improves gas mileage, It says something about adding it to your oil also, but I'm a little leary about that, But those who have fuel problems this SH-T WORKS By the way what are you guys paying for high test non Ethnol fuel in NY. state in PA. near Allentown PA it's $4.60 a gallon OUCH

I have been reading alot about this Sea Foam lately, so I dumped a can in my 2000 expidition w/5.4 and I don't think much about miricals in a can but that stuff really works!!!I got great fuel mileage and it idles like a new one with greater throttle responce. that stuff really does WORK I'm going to use it in my 350 mercruiser for shure, for that she is really OPEC. friendly (loves her fuel)

BSmaster the guy my uncle was with is what I call a step or two below pro bass dude, he travels all over the place to bass fish in tornaments that pay not real big bucks, but enough to make it worth his while, he just won a new boat sweet looking boat if you like your ass an inch off the water 65mph. over the water for what? since when did fishing team up with top fuel cars? Anyway I don't think Dave is a anything type of fisherman if it isn't bass it is what he calls junk fish (they don't pay to catch) where my uncle is like the rest of us , if it puts up a fight it called fishing and I will bet my last dollar it KILLED him to not go after those walleye, if it were he and I you bet we would of hung in there tight till we figured them stinking walleye out. One of the old sayings (you should of been there) O/well till next time be safe and tight lines to all PAP

Hey guys I'm not telling you a story, matter of fact they said other guy's were there and they were fishing for walleyes and had several of walleye as big and some bigger than the fish they cought and they tell my uncle that they are for some reason back in the bay again, which makes me beleive that in the fall they make a return trip for some reason, from what I gather from this discussion that these guys knew what they were doing. We have a camper in the Black River bay camp grounds and every year we would be after the salmon in the trench these two old guys would come up and go walleye fishing, they told us that they start fishing in 30 ft of water strait out from the silo (north side of black river bay and end up in chaumont bay) and those guy's had really nice size walleyes, every day for about 3-5 days they would fish the same area and every time they came in (around 5-6 Oclock they had nice walleye, I never asked any questions they seemed tight lipped about their honeyhole but it's as true as I sit here I saw it with my own eyes!!!!!

My uncle and hardcore bass budy were out last week over in Chaumont bay and were mad becouse they were trying for a 6# smallmouth they cought everything up to but can't get 6#er becouse all they cought were huge stinking WALLEYE!! I said what the hell are you two knuckleheads talking about (stinking walleye) they told me they cought them on dropshots tubejigs even on spinnerbaits and they are a pain in the ass to take off the hook,Now I herd alot of bs. in my time but they were dead nut serious! If I only had their troubles life would be GRAND!!

Big Water, I tore out the carpet out of my 18FT sea ray then I fiberglassed the floor it was in good shape then I bought a gallon of rubberized paint(from Cabales) it comes in different colors, you just roll it on they also sell the floppy roller and it looks like a pro did the job! it's nonslip and cleans up with a wash down real easy and doesn't brake the bank. Just a thought of mine, hope this helps? PAP from PA.

Great post!! I fish out of henderson but I haven't been up in 2 years due to boat motor problems but I got all glitches out finally!!! will be up for the browns in the spring, Till then tight lines to all I learned alot reading the posts on this site Great job everone!!!! (PAP from PA.)
