Looking for any input on Sea Sprite boats.......specifically the 2350 WA. I don't know anything about them, and my search of google doesn't give me much. Are they a well built boat, or run away as fast as you can? I'm looking at a 91 2350 WA. Also do they have any issues with the floor sagging?Thanks for any info.

I sure hope Munising bay produces like it did last year! If gas prices hold steady the salmon don't have a chance:grin:

why isn't there a pic of this fish..... Am I hearing a big fish story where the big one got away...

hahaha actually he might still have the pic of the fairport fish not sure. I think he might have a pic of us standing at the board. The pic he was supposed to email me a long time ago otherwise I would post it up for ya:D

Dang Kjell now I know for sure your a fishing fanatic:D

Sean is that boat Blue.. and you got it when, I sold my boat to a man in the U.P in 2004, she was called special lady and it looks very much like our old boat and trailer... I can send you pics of our old boat too, but what are the odds of that, that you bought it a summer after I sold our to a man in the UP...???? Hmm she was such a great boat.. let me know.

Yep its blue my favorite color! Its very possible. My brother bought the boat and I bought it from him. He didn't have it but a year or two, and decided to start a family, so he sold the boat to me. You have me really curious, so I just looked at my registration, which is due this year:(. I bought the boat in april of 06 and he had it about 2 summers so its highly likely this is your old boat! Send me some pics if you don't mind. I will pm you with my email addy. Thanks.

Nice work!!!

Hey Scott welcome to the forum! Im new myself. You found a great place to hang out! What make is your big boat?

Yes It's a good Point....But the best point, is I have the FishHawk.

Robert we want some feedback on your new fish catching tool! I would like to buy one myself, so any feedback on the new fishhawk would be awesome:D

I will have to look into the shower curtain idea! I bought these on ebay. Well talk about a small world. The guy I bought them from is the electrical project manager for the company doing the electrical upgrade at our plant. He is saving me a few bucks by delivering them next week when he is in the area for a progress meeting. I will have to hit him up for some info on how he fished with them. Kinda blew me away when he sent the email today:eek:

Thanks Robert! This will be my 4th summer with the sea ray. She has been good to me so far:D

That is amazing! We get those mounds of ice up north here as well, but it happens in areas where there isn't any homes. Glad nobody was hurt!

I sent my big jons out they arrived at big jon's on tuesday march 3rd and they arrived back today already! Can't wait to try out the new one crank design:D

I have a set of boards very similar to what you purchased. I for one like them very much. It is my opinion that I would rather run 2 big boards than the inlines. The reasoning, is that I would rather fight the fish than drag em in behind the inlines. Don't get me wrong, I also have inlines, but have moved away from them. I have several releases for the big boards and use rubberbands attached to my line. Haven't had any tangle issues yet, but it doesn't matter what you run (inlines or big boards) you're bound to get a tangle at some point. I have 2 planer reels but have not even installed them yet. I let the boards out, and bring em in by hand, which is not difficult or time consuming. Another fisherman tipped me off, when bringing in your port boards by hand, turn to that side and it will come in much easier. Something else to look into is something I was talking about at the expo this weekend, and that is release savers. Some sort of line that big jon makes that if/when your planer board line breaks you don't loose your releases.

Sweet any info you might have on the releases if you don't mind sharing that would be great. Can you run more than one line of these boards?

Hey Pulpfishin! Welcome to the forum. I think you will like your stay here:D

Looks like we have one at 10:24 A.M.

I have a 6ft mast if you are interested I sold my big boards

Thanks for the feedback. I will figure somthing out for rigging them up. I wish I had a hardtop sometimes. I was looking at one of those trees as well. I have a radar arch Im putting on this spring, so I may have some holders put on the arch...not sure yet how Im going to do that.

I might be interested in your mast. My dad and I own a smaller polarcraft that it might work out real well on. Can you give me somemore info? I can either give you a jingle, or send me a pm. Thanks.

They look nice. What do you plan to run off them?

Most guys in our area run inline boards with there lead core.

There are a few still that like the big boards though.

They should run good for you though.

I have never run them myself. My cousin has some for his boat. I see people using them all the time and thought I would give it a shot. I know these will need planer reels, so thats my next purchase I guess. I guess what I like about these from what I understand is your line will totally release from these. What is the downside to these boards?

What is everyones opinion on these type of planer boards? I hope good I just bought them:p

Sounds like you have a dang fine wife Robert:D

It really is a buyer's market with the economy stinking like it is! Glad to help out.

Good deal Brian! Glad you got one at a great price. I only wish I would have found it a couple of days sooner! I could have saved myself a couple hundred bucks.

I just like to be on the water! Can be any time..... day, or night. I prefer a couple 3 hours in the morning and evening for salmon, with a nap during the afternoon:D I actually love it when the lake is full of boats, that usually means the fishing is good. I also love to hear the chatter on the 1MC as well! Its all fun;)

Looks good Mike! I will ponder that one for a couple of days.

Heyyyy i got not thanks yet :-( what do you want me to do? stand up and sing and dance :-)

Give us a little fish dance:D

I have a feeling we are going to be seeing alot more of these vids this year.......bring em on guys!! Sean it would have been nice to have had a vid on that first fairport tourney when that king ripped out all 300 yards of the backer behind the 10 color before we could clear lines and chase it down and still ended up boating the big fella!!! THAT WAS A SCREAMER!! I am pretty sure you remember this one....only if you were a little taller you could have reached that rod before i got there!

Yeah that was a nice fish! I was happy to net it for ya bud! Seems to be a pattern with you and me! Kinda like the forearm shiver you gave me in my boat when we caught the big fella in Munising Bay! Why does it always happen when I'm fishing with you:p
