That's great to see! You have been at it on the "dead side" long enough, with reports, and pics showing that there are fish to be had! It's great to see. Keep on em!

and to FishSniffer....without that input I would be lost :lol:

my Thompson 240 Fisherman also has the hard top. My hardtop is hollow. I mounted mine with tracks. Four screws in the corners and 3M to help adhear and seal. Two tracks and no issues so far. Been two years.

thanks for the input Richard. I didn't think it was solid glass. I'll play around with it and see what I like best. It has 3 mounting brackets, with 2 holes per bracket. Just want to do it right, so I don't lose any gear...

Sweet:lol:

Nice job on da' fish......some bruisers....there.

Yup. Planning on counter sinking on the bottom side

On my trophy, they are 2" stainless lag bolts. I would think that lags long enough to go deep without coming out the inside would hold a ton if sized correctly. Just my .005 cents worth.

Did you use any kind of epoxy in the holes for the lags? Hate to see it come loose....

Hey guys, about ready to mount the new rocket launcher to the hard top. I have a Thompson 210 fisherman. My question is this?????? What would be the best way to fasten this to the hard top? It has been suggested to use thru bolts. The hard top seems to be a good 2-3" thick, I can physically get up and walk on it, but I'm not sure that it's fiberglass all the way thru. The launcher came with 3 mounting brackets to fasten to the surface, each bracket will take 2 fasteners.

Thanks for any insight you can offer.....

Nice job Priority 1! You gotta strike while the iron's hot! Keep it up:thumb:

Tagged along with the FishSniffer for a much needed salmon fishing trip on Sunday. Went out of Muskegon. Left the dock about 530 am and back to the dock just before 1PM. Worked waters between 60fow out to 210fow. Riggers, blood run copper, and blood run wire on the divers, everything took hits, however, it was clear that the wire divers with flasher/fly combos ruled the day. Mags 125-185 back, and 155 ish on the high divers. finished the day with a nice box of fish, couple of steel, a ho ho, and some kings. 9or 10 for 17 ish was the count, and we through back one mud chicken too. We had a lot of violent strikes with fish there and gone quickly.

Thanks FishSniffer for a great day out of Muskegon.....

I would love to see it when you are done

Will do....

Goodies came today in the mail. The rocket launcher looks pretty sweet. Little bit of lite assembly on my end and she'll be ready to mount. The mounts for the lights look great, as easy as it should go together I'm hoping I can order 2 more, per AB's suggestion earlier in the thread, as an accessory or something. Everything is completely adjustable. Rod holders swivel 360, enabling me to set them in any position. So, even though I only have a 3 rod holder tree per side, I'm thinking I can adjust the outside rod holders on the rocket launcher for one more functional holder to run boards off of....hopefully it all comes together as easy as it sounds.....now back to finding the right lights.....

I can probably do that Bomber....drilling a few extra holes wouldn't be out of the scope of my capabilities.....

20 trays= 1/2 case shipped to your door 159.00

over the counter in store 6.95 per tray plus tax

I wish I had a need for a 1/2 case, just way too much for me personally. However, you tray price on the blue label is nice. Wish I was closer.....

Hey guys,

I just ordered a 9 rod holder rocket launcher for my hard top I will have the ability to mount 2 lights on it. Looking for any input that you guys that have lights on your boats can give. What kind? What color? All the good stuff.

Thanks in advance

What is the purchase price of the blue label?

Here piggy piggy! Nice job on those bruisers.....

Nice job..... All of you guys whacken' em real good is going to drive me crazy....commitments have me sidelined until 8/11...hope this great fishing holds out.....

Early bird gets the worm..... Nice job on da' feesh!

Thanks fellas. Been here since '06 and I'm still doing the same things......

Damn Rookie :lol:

No kidding! Sheeesh

Insta Launch Manistee, Tackle box Frankfort. D&R in Kzoo and I know there are others. I personally like the whole herring, cut as needed, more bang for your buck IMO

Sounds about right. I found more success last year after lengthining my leader lengths from the dipsy to my attractor.

She is just big boned:)

Thx guys

Real nice personality though eh?
