I used to love to make the drive up to northern Indiana in the dead of winter when everything was frozen up to fish an artesian fed pond foe rainbow trout with cheese balls. my friend that got me into this and myself both had full beards. when we fished both our beards would be frozen into icebergs that took forever to thaw out. but we had so much fun doing this, and I didn't even like rainbow trout. it takes guys like the op to inform other true sportsmen about good places to catch fish. the others will find out about these places one way or the other and still show up. I fish Lake Erie and you wouldn't believe how tight lipped the people are about information to help others catch more fish. i mean there are so many fish in Erie that the state of Ohio never catches its quota that it's allowed to catch each year., we never even get close to what were allowed to catch. so, what is it going to hurt to share a little knowledge to help others catch fish. they don't have to share their location but the depth of water and what is catching fish at what speed wouldn't hurt them in the least.

i was in the marine corps many yrs ago. i was in from 72 until 76 but i have always felt in my heart i would always be a marine. now i am a disabled vet and i feel proud to have served our country as a marine. do you ship these and do you have any idea what shipping would cost to 47302?

I love the semper fi one but have no place to put it without doing some rearranging. how much are you getting for these?

some great fishing right there. i use to brave the cold to fish but anymore I depend on guys like you to show me some great cold fishing.

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.

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?

KUDOS for taking them out fishing. and a beautiful stringer of fish you put everyone on.

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.

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.

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.

i think your right it sounds like it would be too much for our little dog. so I'll pass.

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?

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.
