I have successfully repaired reel seats that come lose.  Get some epoxy and put it in a syringe style dispenser.  Drill some small holes in the seat and put as much in as the holes will take.

I have a St. Croix and a Okuma that have held up for years after doing this.

Thanks for the info.  Going to look into both locations.

Nice.  Keep us updated.

The last week in June, my wife and I will be taking my kids to Boston where my Dad will be taking them to his place in Maine for a couple of weeks.  My wife and I plan to take the entire week off work to fish.  We plan to drop our boat (18.5' Crestliner Raptor) off at a temporary storage along the way, deep sea fish a day or two in Mass, then spend the remaining 5 days or so on Lake O.

I've fished both Wilson and Olcott and have been successful at both ports. We would like somewhere we can stay close to the ramp, with good dining nearby.  We would also like alternative fishing spots reasonably close in case of bad weather.   Where would you go?

Will you ship?  How much to 16411?

Mine wasn't that bad, but it was annoying.  I didn't want to hang the weight of a 2 cylinder on a small boat though.

How heavy of standard mono do I need to spool to prevent fleas from sticking to it?

TIA.

The 6hp is a single cylinder.  It is loud and has a lot of vibration.   I had a Nissan on my 16 footer, and chose it because it was light.

For a boat like yours, I would get an 8 or 9.9.

Hi.  

I'm looking for some reels specifically 20, 30 and 45. I have cash. I also have a few trade items that may interest you.

Not interested in CN series reels at this time.

Thanks.

Brian

If the deal falls through with the radio, I'll take it.

Ttt.

Would like to buy 2 Traxstech ratcheting rod holders.  Would possibly buy more if the price is right.  Also looking for 2 of the holders that fit on the trees, and 1 or 2 net holders.

Thanks.

Brian

Thanks for the heads up.  Unfortunately, I need a 25" shaft and would prefer a Mercury to match my main.

I would like to buy a 9.9 4 stroke kicker with a 25 inch shaft.  For the right deal, i would consider an 8 or 15.  I'm near Erie, PA but willing to travel.

Thanks.

Brian

PM sent.

I like mono for panfish as well.  I've never found a fluorocarbon that handles as well as mono.  

4-6 lb. Trilene xl

I have an entire setup with hundreds of materials and thousands of books.  Plenty of tools to do anything you want.

$300 plus shipping.

1 23” steelie in 200 fow.  Trolling toward the skinny water now.

2 shakers in 300, not much else.

71.8 in 230 fow.  I don't have a down temp.....

How deep are you fishing?  We set up in 250 of the plant .  Nothing yet.

Looking specifically for a port side with the lead weight.  Would take a pair of multiples if the price is right.

Thanks.

Brian

Wind is good.  We are in a 16 footer.
