Just One

Bout' Time!! Can't wait to get out there.

My brother and I are headed to Ludington fri. morning to hopefully stay here till sunday. Does anybody know were we could launch a boat thats close to Buttersville Campground. Were taking his boat, a 16fter. Some place cheap would be nice. Were even open to suggestions as someplace else to stay. Were taking the truck, 5th wheel, and his boat so I little drive to the lake is fine. Lets cross our fingers and hope for good weather! Thanks

personaly, i dont believe in it. the way i grew up was that, thats what scouting was for. find out where the deer go and sit there instead of feeding the deer so they are full of food and making then lazy. the deer eat off the pile and than go lay down for the rest of the day. (so if you dont bait your odds of getting a deer go down) i do understand that now a day people are busy'er than that used to be - i know i dont have much time to scout anymore. I would just like to see more deer out and about than what you used to. i camp w/ family up at drummond island every year and its nothing to see huge piles of bait from the camps next door (they got a trailer they pull just loaded with bait and the quad with the dump on the the back to take a load to each stand everyday) real sportsman!!! Thats my opinion!

A lot of the newer veh. dont have pass. side lock cyld. You should have heard a customer I had today at my dealership. He bought his wife a 2006 Pontiac G6 convertible. No lockes in either door. His wife left the lights on (or at least there were on when the tow truck driver droped the car off). Ran the battery down and couldn't get into the car. Just a yellin' at me for not havin' locks in the doors:eek: Like I designed it:D They dont pay me enough!!!!!

Thanks for the advise Steve. I took one apart the other night and just lubed it. I was afraid to take the gears and everything else that was under the little plate off, so I just dropped some lube on them. Seemed to work (at least it didn't hurt) and it was fun to figure out how a reel works.

Has anybody ever took these reels apart to lube them? I've got 4 of these reels that are going on 3 years old that feel like the drag dont work like it used to. They didn't get a whole lot of use in those 3 years - Probably why the drags dont feel right. I thought of pulling the side off to see what was in there and shooting some lube in them. Does anybody have any words of advise? Thanks

I've got a hard time catching 1. I dont know what I would do if I caught 5.

I'm a service consultant for Graff Chevy-Pontiac in Durand Mi. (I'm the guy people b*#tch at when there Chevy products break and yeh they do break)

Had time today to call Lowrance. After a 20min. wait to talk to somebody the lady said "We had some problems with the GPS reception on the earlier models". All I need to do is send it back to them and they will up date it for me. I also asked if I could swap it for a external antenna but she said no. I could purchase the antenna and it will work on my unit. I shouldn't have waited so long to call them.

My ff/gps is about 2ft from my VHF antenna. I yet have had time to call Lowrance. I have been pondering the idea of selling my boat now and trying to get through the rest of the summer without it.

Wow! After reading that thread I better study on my fish species.

I went dont to St. Joes fishing one saterday and come back to a business card put under my wiper blade. Good way to advertise.

I could also be wrong. I just started fishing for Salmon/Trout a couple years ago so maybe I am wrong. I carry a copy of the dnr fishing regulation guide book but it was wet and sticking together. I dryed it off by the fire the next day and there wasn't any brown color to so I assumed it was a lake trout. Here's another pic to ty to help. Good Luck

Well I did the updates and took her out on lake michigan last weekend(5.27.06). The fishin was good but the catchin stunk. Come home with one and lost another one at the boat. The lake was like glass, allowing my wife and I to get out to 190 fow. I built my own downriggers and only put about 50 - 60 ft of cable on them. So I couldn't get down that deep. Back to the tread. The sky was cloud free most of the day. Nobody around the lowrance and I kept loosing gps signal. I need to call lowrance and see what they would do. Im going to get a little pst if they wont do anything for me. I keep you guys updated.

well actually my wife did:D my file was to big from the start. she some how had to e-mail the pic to myself to shrink the file, save that to my pics under another name, and download from there:confused: well heres my pic: I caught this baby at lake margrethe 2 weekends ago late friday night. it was funny because i was under my dash tring to figure out why my lights weren't working (by myself).i also got the hook caught in the outer edge of the net before i got the fish in it. It turned out in my favor so that was o.k. thanks for the help guys:)
