  1. I had cannon tracks on my boat but needed to add sections to make them longer. as they are basically all the same i went with cisco because they were so much cheaper than any of the others i looked at. and i wasn't disappointed in the least.
  2. we were up at Geneva OH driving back to the campground and found a set of trolling bags. I had only used a set of drift socks and didn't like using them at all, so I had went back to using my easy troll plate. I tried to find the owner I even posted them at the marina at the ramps but to no avail. the next yr. my son was bugging me to at least try them. we used them and really liked them better than the plate. so, if it turns out you don't find the owner you may have yourself some new gear. and i do want to give you a big KUDOS for trying. it strengthens my faith that there are honest people left in this screwed up world. i have been ripped off so bad a few times by my so called friends i thought i could trust. but now those people aren't my friends anymore. I knew they did it but the police said I had to have proof they actually did it.
  3. our ML season came in sat the 3rd here in IN. but I'm not going to get much hunting in as I'm just not able to hunt alone. my son canceled last weekend and he has to work the last weekend. but we are planning to hunt this coming weekend. the ML season is all I hunt any more. but we have a late antlerless season that we can hunt on some public land we have hunted before. so, if I can just get motivated to motivate him, we may hunt during that season a little. I will be taking my 15 year old granddaughter for her 1st ever deer hunt. if things go good, I might just take her and go hunting with just the 2 of us the last weekend and maybe just do a little more hunting during our late antlerless hunt that starts the sat after our ML season ends. who knows?
  4. i don't know much about Garmin fish finders and would like to know the screen size?
  5. KUDOS for taking them out fishing. and a beautiful stringer of fish you put everyone on.
  6. those do look awesome but i gave up ice fishing years ago after I lost all my ice fishing buddies. I keep thinking about getting back into it. but I am almost 72 and would have to get an electric auger just for starters. then all the other things I would need. and things like what you have would be a must for 2 of them at the least.
  7. just for future reference if you're paying with pay pal have them agree to let you send the extra money so they can still get the full amount after pay pal gets its chunk out. never trust anyone for that amount of money. if they won't agree something sounds fishy. I just bought a panther power tilt of a guy and he found out what pay pal was charging him and had me add that amount to what I was sending him. I still had to pay but I was able to make my payment and have the item on my payment and have pay pal coverage on it. unless you have a lot of blind faith in all humanity always add the fee on your end so pay pal covers the transaction.

    that boat is awesome, and it would be any Lake Erie fishermen's dream come true. I would love to own your boat but at 38,000.00 when my budget is more like 3,800.00 it's not in my price range. I have been fishing lake Michigan and Erie since back in 77 and for me this is the perfect boat. i had a 28' sea ray twin 4.3 v-6 motors that was just really a little too big. i fished boats as small as 16' deep v to the 28' sea ray and the best all-around boat i ever had was a 21' cobia glass open bow boat. iff it got so rough i didn't fish then it was just to rough to be out. and if i wanted to play in the water it worked great for that. i put a high 5 prop on to get out of the hole when loaded for erie. and it was awesome for tubing. it got right up on plane then worked great for staying on plane at slower speed when pulling smaller kids on tubes.
  9. I just can't believe some fishing addict hasn't bought these by now. like I said I would love to be able to sort through these and pick out what I think would work for eyes on Erie. but if I still fished for salmon, I would buy these because even the ones I think would work for eyes would probably work great for salmon.
  10. I plan on getting a 12v 60 amp starting battery for my boat and was thinking of getting a charger like this which is 199.00 on their web site. anyone that uses lithium batteries for trolling motor or electronics can save 139.00 plus tax by buying this charger. I don't think I will need a charger for my lithium battery as it will only be used in my boat and charged with the alternator. but you better hurry as I'm thinking about buying it to charge my battery during the winter months. woops i just noticed this is for 24v batteries and not for 12v. but if you have 2 batteries you can hook them together for 24v then charge both of them.
  11. i think your right it sounds like it would be too much for our little dog. so I'll pass.
  12. I'm not sure about using one of these to try and stop my dog from keeping barking after I tell her to stop but i am thinking about trying it. i have a small Maltese dog and need to know if the collar will work on a 10# dog? if it will work on my small dog I will give it a try if you'll take 90.00 and then pay to ship it to me?
  13. the Daiwa wilderness trolling m/l rods I got from fishusa.com have been working great. for running the small diver, I recommend the m/l 8'. but if you are going to use the magnum divers you might want to get the medium. I run the 8' m/l on Erie for walleye with lite bite slide divers with the small rings without using the slide on them. they are about the same size as a regular dipsey. most use 30# but I started with 65# and haven't found a reason to change.
  14. you did a great job on your boat it really looks good for an old boat. with a 14' boat I would make sure the weather was good with a good forecast before even thinking about going out on big water. it doesn't take a lot to swamp a small boat. at the first sign the water was getting rough I would head for the harbor. and I wouldn't venture to far from the harbor or close to shore where i could beach it I needed to. on calm days on Erie's western basin many days small aluminum fishing boats would go out to the intake at coolie canal which was 4 miles from shore. a few of them would go past the intake and drift back in. so it is very possible to do it, but you need to make sure it's safe.
  15. they are a great place for your muzzleloader supplies. you might also think about trying the powerbelt elr bullets. they shoot the best of any bullets that i have shot in my cva accura v2 45 long range and my 50 encore. they are heavy but the long aerodynamics of the elongated bullets make them ideal for hunting deer. i haven't shot a deer yet but they should have plenty of knockdown power to bring a deer down fast.
  16. i would have to have shipping because i live in east central IN and you are many miles away. i already have one for me but thinking about getting owe for my overweight granddaughter. i have a summit viper she can use but these are much easier to get in and out of plus they've got so much more room for moving around while in the stand. i dont have a clue how much it would cost to ship but it shouldn't be that bad shipping priority mail at the post office.
  17. it is on sale at Cabela's for 349.00 with free shipping. will you sell yours for 300.00 and pay for shipping?
  18. great price on your motor. do you mean it has the starter for electric start? what are you saying about being hooked up for electric start? I bought an old 2002 9.9 for 1350.00 and thought I had got a great deal but if yours had been available at that time I would have spent the extra money and bought your motor. does your motor have power tilt?
  19. muzzle-loaders.com has the v-2 nitride on sale for something like 559.00 with the Burris 3x9x40 scope right now. it comes with a soft case, or you can get it with a hard case for 609.00. you might just want to visit cva.com which has them at different prices depending on which one you want. some are out of stock, but they have one with v2 nitride with the 28" barrel for 420.00 with the standard stock and no scope.
  20. yes they were charged with felony charges for theft by cheating in a tournament. and other charges were pending the last article i read on it. with the value of the boats and cash involved it should be grand theft by deception. plus, the dnr had charges of there own'
  21. in IN as long as she is still underage when she buys the license, she is good to go. back when I bought my lifetime license here it covered everything. I was still hunting bow season muzzleloader season, and our gun season, and all my licensees were covered even my doe tags. it wasn't long before I was hunting for free. I had been thinking for some time that I should get one, then the price almost doubled. so, before they went up again, I bought mine. i don't believe they offer these licensees anymore.
  22. this is a great offer, 250.00 for a good used rigger is a good price. and the second one should be worth getting a new board if you can find one, if that's the only thing wrong with it. then you would have 2 riggers.
  23. fyi i purchased the prop anmd have it on my motor but haven't tried it yet, but plan on doing it sat. it was the same pitch as mine but was 13 7/8x17p where my aluminum was 13 1/4x17p.
  24. is the 6'3" from the floor to the bottom of the top? how wide is the mounting points on the top?
  25. good deal, i always loved fishing myself to ever run a charter. so, I totally understand your choice. really hope you enjoy your boat and being able to choose when you fish and who fishes with you.
