  1. saw this on another site with 30+ answers and most thought as above-same old and nothing special and not worth any extra $
  2. says 25000 in add and transom shows mexico ny
  3. sure let us know down the road what you went with and how it worked. good luck and fish on !!!!
  4. first welcome to the site. i think you have it pretty covered with what you have. take what you think is the most productive for you and duplicate at least one of that length. then maybe the 2nd most and one new length or do 2 new lengths. i think the lengths you mention would be what i go with. personal preference but i like copper better than leadcore so i would make a couple shortys.
  5. you had some good action and way to take a kid fishing !!!!!
  6. i am not sure if doug is talking about guide from bank,boat or both. but you are saying that to guide river anglers with out a boat you still need a cg license. i find this hard to believe and would say there are a whole bunch of unlicensed guides if thats the case
  7. yes after i posted i wondered if it was just a typo,should have asked sorry no harm meant. lets face it even some of the lower priced gear adds up in a hurry. this is an expensive ADDICTION we have.
  8. i know so whoever posted the 37.50 where did that come from??
  9. so let me get this straight-a tekota 800 costs $75 ? convectors are half the price ?
  10. yes even fishUSA.com-a site sponsor has them for 604 but as you discovered on amazon lots of places sell them for less. again figuring his are standard capt packs.
  11. if they are standard captains packs they are not near that much the brutes cost about 800 and i think they make a pro plus package. last summer my local tackle shop was selling captain packs for around 500. google some of the bigger outfits like marine general. the bigjon website always lists cost of products for much more than what retailers sell them for. not sure why. not trying to kill a sale just fyi. if they are the plus they may be worth more if they are brutes(dont look like it) then they are worth more than 400 used. contact bigjon with any questions about models and years offered they are very helpful.
  12. should have put this in my last post. for anyone who does not know his website is www.michigansportsman.com lots of info on the spoons the design process etc. also a video of them in action on it somewhere
  13. he designed these to run and catch fish at all speeds
  14. saw them on his website. mr king makes some good tackle that catchs fish. that said any lure first has to catch a fisherman ! i was thinking about trying some i am just the type that buys most of my stuff offline. I always think anything new or very old-something not everyone else is pulling will catch fish. many of theese spoons are copys of his flashers. good luck with them.
  15. line dancin this is a good idea , i thought about suggesting something along the same lines but did not know the cost or his budget.
  16. my only thought is i would not attach the reels to the rod trees. i have not used big boards that much but would think you want the reels and as much of the line as far forward of the rods as possible. i am sure you will get lots of tips and at $800 will end up with a nice fishing machine. though you will probably end up like me and have way more $ into the rigging of an old boat than the purchase price. if you get the chance post some pics as you go along. good luck !
  17. i release a lot of fish on my own boat. when i was a first mate we would occasionly get someone who did not want to keep fish and we had a slot limit that a lot of the lake trout would be over so they all had to go back. lots of them were netted and we found if you sort of torpedoed them back into the water they would swim off verse floating on the surface. dont know how many lived long term but the laws the law. laketrout fishing in the bays has been good enough that i think the majority of them lived.
  18. hey i am wondering if anyone knows of a michigan tackle shop that has a fish cleaning station. specificly if they have a better set up than throwing the guts in a dumpster or freezer , but interested in any thanks.
  19. just wonder what kind of motor you have if an outdrive and the stains are on the top gearbox a driveshower will cure the issue.
  20. nice boat and welcome to the site !!
  21. ken i think you can private message the seller to get your answers. good luck looks nice and if its not allready sold i hope you end up with it.
  22. very interesting NOTHING BUT GOOD LUCK IN 2015 !! THE COUNTDOWN IS ON...
