Wow, that boat looks very nice now. I can't say enough of how great of a job you did!!!!

Nice job, thanks for the info.

Very nice job!!!

Nice job

Very nice, I'm really enjoying watching the process and dreaming.

Here's mine, a 18' Lund Alaskan at least before I got "the bug" and put rod holders, riggers, etc on it.

I love the "old school" pictures and how they're actually prints. Forgot how quickly we've become used to electronic pictures and how east they are. Nice fish too!

I'm going to go a little against the grain here. I don't use copper yet because I just started last year for this big lake stuff and have heard that copper can be a real PIA for beginners. I also bought the zboards too and have been disappointed in how they run (or lake thereof). I'm going to give it this spring to figure them out though. Seems that they need to be adjusted alot before they run well. When pulling heavy weights, bend the arm up so it's about even with the top of the board. Be sure you only bend the part of the arm that's supposed to be bent. Put a piece of wood with a cut in it against the board so the arm doesn't bend at the board. 1Maniac gave me those tips on here, so if you search his postings, you'll find them. As to drags, yes set them so they barely hold. That way when you hear the clicks you'll know. Just FYI, it's much easier to read the boards when there's 3 of them on a side so you have a reference. That's what the big boats do, but you probably can't so adjust your drags. Hope this helps

Nice report, thanks.

Nice job.

I had trouble with my okumas and creep also until I switched out the drags to carbon fiber washers. $4 per reel later and they're awesome.

Nice job. Do you guys do this at day break, or a little later?

Holy fat laker!!!!

Very nice job

Agreed with Line Dancin, I bought a convector 45 from northwoods outlet for $65 and it's exactly the same.

Very nice job!!!

Very nice, making me get pretty jealous.

Seems that many people like these. I got them last year and still haven't gotten them working right. If I try to pull anything more than 5 colors with the brother board, it dives like a champ and then becomes moby dick to reel in. Russ and Anglers Ave. said to send them to him and they'll check em but with seeing these posts about their customer service I'm leery. Especially since I could see them taking 4 weeks to get them back and that's alot of the early season.

great advice, thanks

From what I've been told, length between the fly and flasher are more important than color.

Very nice job

They were at the D and R show. Kind of looked interesting but without dive curves, I didn't pull the trigger. The guy running the table said they're getting a dive curve going this spring. Not a big fan of having to thread the line through and then tie on a swivel. Kind of PIA, but then so are many things we use.

I fish an open boat and let me tell ya, there's some days I sure would like to have a cabin and a drop curtain, but I think overall a wire diver would be where I lean.

Very nice job. Thanks for making my itch that much worse.

another vote for 5 or 6 foot.
