What material are those bags made out of? Looks like windshield vinyl. The only thing that would concern me with that is condensation building up inside and not able to breath. Otherwise I am interested. Thanks.

I hear ya! I hope to be on the water in the 16 footer in a week or less if the ice goes out!

Welcome to Greatlakesfisherman:D

If you didn't like fishing before.....well need I explain:D

I need a garage like that one!

Thank you thank you thank you Adam:D

I was just in Racine not too long ago. I stopped by Great Lakes Skipper to pick up a Radar arch for my boat. Racine looks like a nice town wish it was closer:D

Some great advice. Not sure I can add anything other then I agree with your budget that dipsey's, and either boards, lead, copper in the mix. You can always add one rigger at a time as expenses allow.

hahaha yeah no kidding eh! It always is a tough winter even when they aren't as long as this one! Makes the summer fishing all that more special! We still have 8-10 inches of ice yet:( You guys need to get out and catch a few for us yoopers:D

Need a favor as I can't seem to find his number that I wrote down from the forums. Can someone pass on his phone number for me? Thanks.

hahaha soon we will all get our fix:D

Looks like a great day on the water! Thanks for sharing:D

Congrats on your addition to the family! I was 4# 1oz when I was born. I will translate that for you now! I wish that would correlated in my favor to my waist size now!lol

Im want to plant a garden, but not sure if it will happen this year.

Welcome Ron! You just can't have enough fishing stuff! Ask Kjell:D

Welcome John. Buy that boat now! Lots of good deals!

Seriously a warm welcome to GLF:D

Great Vid Gord! Thanks for sharing! I know now I have to get the video camera!

hahaha I will tell ya Robert after every winter I question that myself, but then spring comes and I forget all about the cold!

Thanks for the info! I thought about the twilli tip, but I think I will go the hardend eye route. I think I will try out the JR's rods, because I want a rod I can use for other applications as well. Kinda the reason I don't want the roller rods. I will have to give some feedback after trying them this year.

I am going to run two wire line dipsey's this year. Im not really interested in a rollor rod. Is there anyone on here running JR's rods? Any other suggestions besides a rollor rod? Thanks.

I hope I made a good purchase. I should have done some digging on the internet before I made the purchase. Seems they might have a customer service issue. However I did send them an email explaining what happend and they did respond for me to give them the serial number and they would issue me an RMA for service, so maybe the internet is the way to go vs the phone with them. The reason I bought this particular unit was lowrance was having a blowout sale if you bought the Globalmap you basically got the LRA 5000 Radar for free. I hope I am one of the satisfied customers....time will tell.

Okay I promised my mom years ago I woundn't lie! Okay maybe just a little one! I was on lunchbreak:p lol.

Another option that works pretty good is to hit it with a pressure washer if you have one. Dial down the pressure so it doesn't damage the wood. Its pretty painless this way. If your teak is varnished then this option won't work. I oil mine, so the pressure washer is the ticket for me.

Looks good! You did a fine job on the flooring!
