This article forgot one thing, please do not leave your headlights on when you are going to launch or retrieve the boat as then I cant see when I'm trying to back up my trailer. And yes, please do it now, I don't care that your are almost done, turn off your stupid headlights. :-D

Man I like those hardtops

Anyone attempted the trip from the mainland to Beaver Island by private boat? I'm thinking about attempting this on my 21' boat? Thoughts?

Go home and take a nap.

So...what rig caught the sea gull?

Ok, I have 4 downriggers, one starboard side & one stern starboard side, same set up on the port side. I have my lead core (full, half & SWR); divers both port & starboard. Here is the question, should I buy some slide divers, spend the money on lures, or is there something else I should add to the arsenal & why? I know that if I had $300 I would buy that Fish Hawk 840 Mark (Just Hook'n) is selling, but absent that, thanks for your input.

It's supposedly a 1986 OMC Cobra, model number on the out drive reads 982843

This will be my first attempt at this. This is on an OMC 4.3L. Question, will it be better to take off the lower unit or is it possible to do it another way (besides taking it to the shop)?
