  1. We stay at Long Lake Camps in Sinclair

    We fish first week of June and now last week of September.

    Great place in the middle of no where  

    Some of the biggest Landlocks come out of that lake, 10+ lbers !

    Big brookies also. Gonna go there in January for the first time ever to fish for smelts and maybe a salmon or two but it can be brutally

    cold with temps 20-30 below in the mornings, nice and warm in the smelt camps though ..

    Good luck with your boat project my friend:yes:

  2. Hey Pete,

    Seems like you got your boat figured out and your plate is a part of it.

    I have a lightly used Happy Troller that I would be happy to send you if you like.

    Not sure what shipping would cost from Maine but it's yours if you want it.

    Send me a PM if you like......Dan

  3. I fished divers with a few different rods and twilli tips (springs) for over 25 years with no real issues and then  i bought a pair of high-end Daiwa rods with roller eyes and roller tips  for 500$...  I couldnt stand the roller tip, it rotates about 180 degrees but the wire kept 'pigtailing' so  much I ended up cutting the tip off and put twilli tips back  on  . I  love the action of the rod and the roller eyes are fine but the roller tip sucked in my opinion  .  With the roller tip its hard to keep any tension on the wire when your done fishing unlike a twilli spring  tip . Im sure some guys   love the roller tips but my experience was a bad one.   

  4. Yup,

    I have 2 of them, the line counter helps when you wanna run short .  The line counter reads 380' with all the copper out so its easy to  adjust    

    Mine have 700' of 65 lb braid/ 300' of AFW 30 lb copper/ 40' 25 lb Gamma fluorocarbon /swivel..

    I prefer the 30 lb AFW over Bloodrun but i might be in the minority ,  never had a break off and you dont need  a reel  the size of a coffee can to hold your line.. I can reach 80' no problem with about 100'of backing out past  the copper.. Albright knots with a  touch glue for insurance :yes:

  5. a pair of trolling bags will get your speed down, pretty easy to learn also.. just make sure you get a big enough pair, min 30".  Beaver-Troll is the only device i have ever seen that is made for an I/O

  6. I know this is a longshot but i am looking for Lowrance Elite7x chirp sonar unit, This is the unit that was made prior to the hook model.

    I would like to find a new one that has been on the shelf somewhere but having no luck, would consider a good used one...
    I already have 2 transducers on the boat (blue cables) and would love to find another screen (nine inch would be fine also)....
    I realize this unit is a bit dated but it worked perfect until September. Good chance I will have to buy a newer model but I thought I would put it out there..
    Thank's alot............Dan

    Wrong. I have put considerable time into researching the reasons for the gas price increase, My livelihood depends on it  both on and off the water. A couple of the things you mention are without a doubt contributing factors but not the main cause. The main reason is our loss of energy independence due to federal policy. Two months of signing executive orders and undoing the accomplishments of the previous administration are to blame. Same reason our southern border is now unsecured. Or is that "facebook misinformation" fault as well?

    wow.....you are something      ...............fool
