  1. That appears to be the Bennien Spring cam on the St Joe River. Those fish are not Kings. The St Joe got a good run on Skams about 3 weeks ago when the lake flipped. Those are Skamania. Dave
  2. Standard Spoons: Eagle Claw 4/0 O'shaughnessy nickle-plated single Magnum Spoons: Eagle Claw 6/0 O'shaughnessy nickle-plated single
  3. 100% of my spoons get new hooks. I was running Eagle Claw 777's. This is a 4x straight point treble that with with stand Jaws himself, your cant bend one let along straighten one out. However, I recenetly switched everything to single hooks. I cant along better hook ups and storage sure is alot easier as well. No one tangled mess in the spoon box, I thin I can fit another 100 in there now! Dave
  4. If Im going to shove something down the fishes gut for weight it will surely would not be an ice cube, I prefer to use 1# drop weights! I think the way your currently doing it is just great. Dave PS: If I just would have jammed another 4 once snap weight down that little one last Sunday I would have taken 1st place!
  5. Yes we do sell electronics, just call any one of us. If you want to stick with a handheld, I have a Garmin 76 which is a great little unit. I have the full mounted unit on the boat now but I have used that handheld alot. I still bring it when I go out with other poeple and it has never given me any issues. Dave
  6. Caz, Here's a link to a PDF file of the Owners Manual for your unit that should give you some assistance. Dave http://www.garmin.com/manuals/GPS12_OwnersManual.pdf
  7. Dont remind me Darrin. They got to my unit 2 days ago at Raymarine. I talked to the tech who was the one work on it. He said it was still dripping water when he took it out of the box! He didnt even open the casing, just shipped me a new one, next day air and no charge. Dave
  8. My unit is still under warranty. I have another 3 months left on the 24 month warranty. Dave
  9. I have the DS600x on my boat. Its basically the same unit but with a little bigger screen. I had a few problems early on with the power cord connector. If it was not connected just right it would cause a short and blow out the screen. Raymarine customer service was tremendous in fixing the issue and replaced it with no problems. Dave
  10. I just cant even find the words to comments on this post. Larry...you are the great Salami chef ever! There is no else who can take a 350 pound file of fatty flesh, turn it into an enjoyable sausage, and enjoy the whole taste quite the way you can. Go ahead and keep serving up that salami the way only you can do.
  11. Minnow, never never never a problem with Mark and Steve. They are 2 great friends. It was an iside joke. They had a few pops one day and added something wrong, figured it out within a few minutes. It was just one of those "you had to be there" type things. Dave
  12. Ok, I think this one is different than a normal trip. I would surely rather be out early in the dark for a normal day on the water. The fact that this is a "shakedown" trip, go out in the light. There are always a few things that dont go perfect on a first trip, much better to handle that in the light. You also have the fact of a couple rookies on board. This leaves you and you alone to handle issues, set rods, etc. I would head out and have a go at it in the light. Your bound to get on a few which is all you need to get the juices going in a couple rookies. Best of luck, Dave
  13. I have seen that kind of math at tournaments before. It did not involve the payout but the total weights. I am sure it was not a planned thing, something about the calculation system they used. I think it was something called "Mark & Steve's Beer Can Calculator"
  14. Is this the reel your refering to? If so, please contact me. Dave
  15. We knew where they were. The closest bouy was a good 50 yards away from where we were. We also didnt relize the how high up they were. We were in 90 FOW and had riggers down 55 ft when we got tangled, that means those nets were probably about 35 feet off bottom. It surely was an experience that could have been worse. If we had been in bigger waves it could have gotten ugly or we would have just cut the rigger lines to get free. Luckily we got out loosing about $40 of tackle, it could have been worse loosing 2 rigger balls, terminal tackle, and a $300 speed-n-temp probe. All in all, I would say we got very lucky. Dave
  16. The only thing that went consistent for us was that Habenyaro(sp?) That Hot Pepper name spoon, 4 times on cores. We got stuck in an Indian net and lost 3 spoons, overall made a big mess! I was sure happy in the calm as we were backing up into the waves with water coming over the back of the boat! Fishing 6 spoons and 6 rods the rest of thew day left for little adjustment...."hey take off the core and put it on a rigger" got a little boring after about 10 minutes. A good time anyway. Dave
  17. Yes Caz, I do. You name the bet, we could race for boat titles??? Dave

  21. I am with Steve. Cores go out first. I get them started and they take themselves out. I can have 2 riggers set by the time the first is out, another 2 while the 2nd goes out and in 5 minutes I have 6 rods set. I go from there depending on the day and how many guys on board it might be dipsys, drop balls, more cores, highlines, etc. Dave
  22. Welcome Kayle. I am very familar with your name from some previous order. Great to have you on the site. Dave
  23. How about sharing some pics from the camera? That would be neat to see updates. Dave
  24. I have never had a mount done but plan on getting a couple this summer. I am not looking for huge fish but beautiful ones. I want a fish of each species that are just really good specimens good colors and really healthy good looking are what I am looking for. Dave
