check out the prices at a place on line called ultimate passage   I found  the best prices there  I purchased a  Lowrance   12 inch  Gen 2   for like  2400.00  got it  and   looked really  big to what I was using  I hope I like it. they also have other   brands

check out the Traxstech  trees      absolutely  the best  on the  market.    They look  better  spring  mounted to turn in.  I had the Great lakes  on my last boat  this one  has the Trax    quality all the way 

the slime  is nowhere near  the **** you guys get in  the Big O    comes right off.      They   film   a whole  season  and then put pieces  together. You  can notice sometimes  they say they are in one place  and the seas are  6 feet   and then talk to another boat nearby  and the seas are calm. 

How about the rattle  inside these  does it  spook   the Browns ?    I wonder if they can be drilled out

Spring  is on   its way  just got  detoured   a bit.

wow  a 500 foot copper  reel   has to be a winch

 I am divorced   therefore   I can buy all the  gear that I need  I tried copper  first time last summer   got a couple fish on  it and then  a king   got  into  to  of the lines   what a mess at that point  I looked to see   that scrap copper was selling for.   I am going to  give  it a try  again> So   I should   have   from  100-400   in 50 or 100 foot  increments    I guess  I will be giving Tom Allen   another order . 

being  new to fishing  with copper   why all those lengths  could  you just  say   have a 300 or 400 and put it out 100 feet out or 150 feet out   to get to the desired length ? 

I have been using Garcia 7000C Syncro they have a new Alphamar line counter syncro drag out its great for dropping your ball just make sure the clicker is on and reel back about 1/3 I think they are under 100 bucks

I have placed an order for a few  thinking  they will work just fine

How are those Bay Rats as compared to Jr Thunderstick ?

there  is a guy in NY   A&P  custom  tackle  528 283 5920    who  has a load  of Daves Kaboom  lures    made  by  Dave Storm     same as the  thunder stick jr 

try Fair Haven should be plenty of slips that time of year

are there set dates for the 321 tournament ?

Lowrance has a unit coming out any day now for a grand

we have   a fly swatter per person on the boat and  he who kills the most  wins

I have been using the Laurvick with shrink tube over them very visible and no line tangles from the wind.

Take a look  at Northcoast boats   23 Hard top  great down east boat . There  are a couple used ones  out there the Factory is in Bristol RI they stand behind their  boats. its  worth  a day trip there to see  how  top quality boats are made  Its not a mass produced  boat.

Take a look  at Northcoast boats they are a great downeast boat will hand build it to your needs, and they  want  to get some of thier boats  on the big lakes, they will make  a good deal for you.  Its a glass  boat  that will last.

thanks   i just looked there myself   turns out   Northcoast   is making me one

nice fishing  guys   wish  i   was a few hours closer

I fish out of Fair Haven  when ever i get  the time to get there these  days  4 or 5 weeks a year, and hope to  spend the summer months there in the future. I would  like to help but getting there  is a full six hours for me, Can  i send   a cash donation  as im sure there are  costs involved?

  I also  challenge all others who fish out of Fair Haven  to do the same.

looking  for a electronics box for a hard top   i dont see  many offerings on the net  they  are pricey   any ideas?

here are a couple  photos  I found  It s under  shrink wrap   now

I was t the factory  last week they are building  #1   for the Boston  boat show  its going to be a awesome boat and for all  those that fish the great lakes they will  build  to your specs  its a quality #1 boat a down east boat   all hand llayed  not a .\spec of wood  I just  got  a 23   HT  having a few special things done to it and all  Trex track  holders a kicker put on   I cant wait to get it on the big O
