    flares

    I had to replace my flares again. The three year expiration date is up.

    I decided to to some price comparison checking   Cabela , West Marine , Bass pro, and Walmart.

    At walmart the set of handheld Orion flares is $24,98 , the other stores charge between $34 and $38.

    The flares you can shoot from a flare pistol  are $19.93 at Walmart and at least $10 dollars more in the other stores.

    So the 2 packages totalled $45 at Wallmart. In one of the above mentioned stores these 2 products sold for $80.

    I do not like shopping in Walmart, but I hate getting ripped of at stores that have the word sport or boat in their name.

    Mine also expired. Did the same thing. Question is do you know how to dispose of them

    I'm guessing, but I'd say within 100-200 yards out and 100 - 200 east of piers. Wish I could be more specific. We were in 8fow. It got hectic real quick so we never were able to drop a waypoint. We had riggers down 5-6'.

    It has been bothering me about what you guys ran into. So I got on navionics and this is what I found.

    Thanks. Seems kindof odd to be out that far and come across that. I guess I'm going to have to pay a lot more attention out there. I appreciate the info.

    Starting battery should be stand alone for one obvious reason. Trolling motors may also get you back to port if the main engine fails. That leaves you with the least essential battery to wire them up to ,fish hawk and fishfinder battery and no, that will not cause any interference.

    Thanks

    Ok now that I have electric downriggers I just had a quick wiring question. Where am I better wiring it to. In my boat I have the starting battery, 2 batteries for trolling motor and a battery that I run my fishfinder and fish hawk. Would there be any interference with them. Thanks

    Hello everyone. I'm possibly looking for a pair of electric downriggers. I currently have manual cannons with the swivel base. We are undecided which direction we are going to go. Either a kicker or downriggers. Anyone have any riggers for sale ? Just looking for something that works good thats not going to break the bank. Still trying to add some moe stuff before the season starts. Thanks
