I'm putting my truck up for sale, 125,000 miles, dealer maintained.

HID headlight upgrade, under coated and rust proofed, spray in bedliner, matching fiberglass topper, 4" step bars.

Excellent condition

$36,500.00

I have one on my boat, very reliable and simple to maintain

I have canned my salmon in a pressure cooker, both fresh and smoked and neither turns out mushy, I would not recommend using any other method other than pressure canning on salmon though, whether it is fresh or smoked.

Wire line works well with divers, I used to have trouble with them releasing on mono. the torpedo wire I use now eliminated that problem

There are days when you cant keep a meat rig in the water, but the flasher and teasers are the important thing, need the right color.

I have real good luck with the Jon King Black and white glow paddle with the red eye and red teasers.

Have you called Cannon?

A friend had one built for a 25 foot Trojan down in Indiana somewhere. It's a nice aluminum 3 axle trailer and it seems like he said it was reasonable. I can try and get the info for you if you'd consider new.

I might be interested in that information as well.

SeaCatMich, what are the specs on your electric winch

The electric winch I have is a powerwinch RC30

I have been using an electric winch on my SeaRay 270 Amberjack for about 3 years and it went to pieces the last time out last summer.

It is going to cost more for parts to repair than I paid for it ($400) so I am thinking of going back to a hand crank winch, but I don't want something that doesn't do the job when I am loading the boat at 11 at night after a day of fishing. I usually trailer the boat every time I fish so a good winch that will make this job as easy as possible would be the ticket.

Any good suggestions? I really liked the electric winch, didn't even have to get in the water, but it was the heaviest one I could find and over time it just gave out.

Thanks

I had that happen and had to remove the receiver from the truck and have the hitch pressed out at a metal shop

I feel the most important part of radar is using it to navigate in fog and in the dark, you cant be without it. Can't do that with radar from a phone.

The only problem I have is ruining the hooks trying to get them out after the fish has swallowed the whole thing, when they hit a meat rig they take it all the way.

I have left extra in the freezer over the winter that had been frozen/thawed a number of times. I thought the strips looked so bad I almost threw them away, but I tried them and the fish didn't seem to mind at all.

Same here, haven't had a break off yet.

over yonder here a staple is john kings black mamba w/ red twinkies and meat head, it just seems to always catch fish....

I use the Black Mamba GLOW with the red and black twinkies and meat head, some days I can't keep it in the water. It is by far the best meat rig I have used.

A friend gave me some canned salmon last year and it was enjoyed by all. I am thinking about buying a pressure cooker to try canning my own. Anyone have any experience, and/or canning recipes?

The Ludington City Marina is very reasonable, and they are the closest to the big lake.

I passed ypou in ludington saturday. I had to take my boat in to Johnsons to have some work done.

Where did you get the plastic anti slip squares from in the boat.

They were in the boat when I bought it, I think I have seen them in West Marine or Overtons. I think it is called DryDeck and they snap together.

Finally got the Big Bobber back after having mechanical and body work done, as well as replacing the teak in the back of the boat with Plastic wood and having the aluminum rail refurbished.

Also added a set of Big Jon trees that I purchased from Tony at Lord of the Riggers, very nice by the way.

I am looking to add a pair of 3 or 4 rod trees for my planer board rods. What are some good options, and who has the best prices? I have looked at the Big Jon models online and I like the options they have like being able to rotate or remove the tree when not in use, but I would like to find out about other manufacturers products.

Try Radio Shack.

How's the boat doing after the repairs you did?

Good job.

I had a pleasant experience today. Last trip out last year my radar quit working, a couple of weeks ago I finally got it sent in to Furuno out on the West Coast and it came back today with no invoice or explanation of what the problem was. I called tech service and they said they had to replace a reed switch that was bad, and they put a newer model drive motor in that they said will give a significantly better return on my screen. I thought, oh man this is gonna hurt, but they said no charge and thank you for choosing Furuno.

Don't hear that enough anymore.
