Well that didn't take long. I ended up putting it on the Flint Craigslist and sold it to a guy who has a slip in Augre. Made him a deal he couldn't refuse.

Sounds good to me:). I will list it on craigslist over on the west side and see what happens.

I was thinking of selling it for $100. That would be a win win for me and buyer

I did some side work for a coworker and got a bunch of stuff in return. One of the things I got was a lockable fiberglass dock box. It is about 5 feet long, 2 1/2 feet tall, and 2 1/2 feet deep. Looks like it is in great shape. It is white and should clean up nice. Just wondering what it would be worth if I sold it? Was thinking about using it for our place on houghton lake, but think it is too big for our dock.
Thanks!

I added 2 walker manual riggers
17 inch bert tracks on each side
2 berts ratcheting rod holders
2 traxstech track mounted downrigger swivels

I get pumped up like a little kid man! So do most of the people I fish with. Hope to be yellin "fish on" a lot this year. Being this is going to be my first year on the big water I am a little nervous that I won't catch many fish. Been reading anything I can find for tips.

Going out tomorrow for an all day event. Anything out of whites beach that is going to be an issue? 1st time out on the bay this year. Will have snowmobile.
Thanks

I used 3/4 inch oak under the gunnels with my 17 inch bert tracks. It is pretty much the same length as the track and a little wider. I wish I could have used a much longer piece, but I didn't have much room to work with. On the driver side track I could only get the washer and nut on the 3 bolts on one side of the track. The other 3 I didn't have enough room to get at them. Lund sure made it hard to access under the gunnels. The bolts without the washer/nuts are really tight in the oak but I am hoping they hold. I can just see half my boat being ripped off by a king. Just don't know how to remedy the situation without unassembling my boat.

Now you are talking Mark! I was going to take a day or two off, but I will wait to get on the softwater.

I'm a little jealous. Here I am going out ice fishing on the Saginaw bay and you are on the soft water tanglin with greasers. What was the water temp?
Thanks and good job on the feeeesh.

Like nick said, go to northwoods and get the stuff. The prices in the store are cheaper than their website. You can,t beat their prices on berts stuff. Tracks for less than 40 and adjus rod holders for 45. Traxstech stuff was on sale at gander last week. I bought my track mounted rigger swivels for less than 55.

Will be fishing a local lake this week. Can't wait! Ice fishing is fun and all but I am sick of augering through 15 inches.

Ok well things changed a little bit. I actually have a cabelas credit card and they have some things priced especially for club members. I ended up getting 2 Okuma lookalike cabelas dx45's with dipsy 9 foot rods for 44.95 each. Then I had $16.00 in club dollars. I got them delivered to the door for $92.00. If I didn't have a cabelas card they would have been $70 each. Even if I replace them next year w/ convectors I can sell them and get most of my money back. That also frees up a little for spoons/flashers and flies/and a few plugs.
Edit: I am gonna cancel the order and just get the convectors I was originally gonna get. I'm not going to cheap out and kick myself later.

Try gander mountain. Not saying to buy it there, but they would prob have one on display.

Welcome to the site! You think you have to pick your days, I'm rolling in a 16.5' lund angler ss:)

I have the humminbird 757 gps/sonar combo and love it. Love the color screen. I did have a problem with the transducer and sent it in. They had it back to me in less than a week. Great customer service. It was in the middle of the season when I sent it in too. Like others have said. It locks on really quick with the external gpd receiver.
I have marked fish on the run but don't know about 25mph. Not sure I would trust the marks even if.

Congrats Nick!!!

I stopped by NW last saturday on way back from augre. Went just for berts rod holder and also came hom with some ice fishing gear. The rod holders were 45 and everywhere else they are 69-79. I can't take extra money this time or my wife will have my...

I am for sure going with the northwoods convector combos. May swing over to pinconning on way to houghton lake this weekend.
I am glad I joined this website. Lots of people looking to help.
Dave can you send me all specs on that leadcore setup? Maybe I can squeeze it into my budget.

Whoa, people target greasers?
Us eastsiders aren't as lucky as you westside boys:)

I am in the same situation as the OP. I just couldn't justify going with electrics. I wanted to make sure I this was something I would really get into. I ended up getting the Walker Lake Rangers for like 94 bux each from Cabelas. They had great reviews and fit my 16.5 foot Lund perfect. I can't wait to get out and put them to use. Good luck and let us know what you do.

Went to gander and got my traxstech downrigger swivels. They were on sale for 54.99
each! Got the last two 4 inchers. Seem to be great quality. Wish I could say the same about the gander staff:)

Sweet! One less thing to boggle my simple mind. Looks like I will stay within my budget. Now I need to find more money for lures, flashers, etc! My wife just has no clue how expensive fishing gear is, she thinks I buy things that I could do without. She doesn't understand that with each species comes new gear.
Thanks!
Found a great deal on yo-zuri lures

I hope this is ok to do this on here. Cabelas has yo-zuri crystal minnows on sale in the bargain cave online for 2.99 each. Regular price is 10.99. I know a lot of guys use them when the fish are in shallow on Lake Huron in the spring. Thought I would share the info. I picked up 4 myself.
