At this stage of fishing i would only keep something 5lb + for mounting aside from that im 100% C&R

ANY motorized boat on state waters needs to be registered, regardless gas or electric

RW thats the best advice ive seen yet on any forum ive ever been on. We are all here to make some friends and learn a few things along with way as well as sharing useful info that can be passed on through countless generation of anglers.

Inflatables arent that bad when you are strapped for cash and rig them right. Mine had anchors in the front and the back so the boat didnt move much in the water when i didnt want it too. also had a trolling motor on it so i got where i wanted with very little to sometimes no problem at all

Where do you get the primer/paint from and what brand is best to use? Also how is the best way to prep for painting? does it need to be completely sanded with 40 grit or just the real bad spots? Excellent work on that boat there man. You outdid yourself

I have one of them 8 ft sevylor boats you were considering and would be happy to sell it for a reasonable price considering i just bought a 12 ft aluminum. If your interested shoot me a pm and we can work something out

That first fish of the year is always nice to brag about. Especially when a lot of us in the Northeast still cant even cast in open water yet :'(

I just bought a 12 ft V-Hull Aluminum boat thats needs some painting and new seats. The boat doesnt leak at all and appears to be in decent shape. The paint on the inside is chipping some so i want to sand it primer then repaint. I always want to take the existing seats off and put new ones on. Any suggestions for: Sandpaper type/grid to use? Primer to use Paint to use Where to buy the seats. If the seats lean back a little AND swivel that will be a plus. I have never done anything like this so all the help I can get is appreciated. I will try to get some pics up here sometime next weekend. The trailer is brand new, the boat has served its purpose to someone over the years but other than that i made a great buy at $400.00.

I have been for the past 4 years using a Guide Series rod/reel combo tournament series and i LOVE it. Never a problem and it cast/reels very smooth. Then again im pretty much a noob so eh yea it works for me so i dont plan on changing until it doesnt work for me anymore

What bass club are you in bud? Sorry for my post. If your ever at the Dickson City Wal Mart and in sporting goods ask for a guy names Mike. He is one hell of a guy and his fishing is like no others ice seen. Holds a pickerel tourney at Lake Henry once a year and helps people learn new techniques as well.

Dman only pickerel tourney i know of in April is the one sponsored by Mike at Wal Mart...Is this the tourney you are speaking of? If so try asking him he is more than willing to share his knowledge...if not sorry for the post

Anyone here from this area care to fish with a newb sometime beteween February 18th - 24th? Ill be down there to visit my brother who is being deployed and although i wont have a lot of time on my hands i will have a few hours to do some fishing

Unless you need to/want to use the rod right now, I would at least shop for another couple weeks. The "spring sales" are just starting to get into gear. When it comes to things like sales on in stock items, then it's best to wait until the last minute to see if they go on sale before you need it. Nothing worse than buying something, have it sit on the shelf for weeks waiting to get used, then the item goes on sale somewhere. Some sales, like clearance or discontinued items, you have to buy when the price is right, but for normal stock, I would wait for the stores to attract you with sale prices. good point. i guess ill wait.. dont want too but i will

Sorry for such a newb ? but do any of you mind posting links to these rods and telling me which one you are suggesting? http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0036478120775a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&QueryText=Rod&N=4887&Ntk=Products&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty=1&Ntt=Rod&noImage=0 this is the one i was looking at

Im 5'9 and dont like my rods too much longer than i am tall... looking for something for an "all around setup" ...price range $100 Suggestions please? preferably buy now rather than wait till the last minute unless someone knows something about a guy who told a guy about something that might be on sale sometime

can always count on some good post coming from Avid...and the fish that tags along with them are the bonus for us on the forum

Wow!!!! Such a young age and he has learned a valuable lesson already. The fact that he won his case tells me he was passionate on presenting his speech properly and devoted enough not to quit. I for one am glad he won, its nice to see young anglers getting involved in the better of a whole community

Amazing catch !!!!!!!!!

Most dell come programmed with a one button format (The newer ones anyway)

I will post this in steps according to what i think the issue is off hand, if it doesnt work pm me and i will try to assist further 1) right click on My Computer and select Properties 2) Select the Tab that says HARDWARE 3) Click on Device Manager 4) First Take Notice to see if anything is highlighted yellow with a ? by it If so Skip Step 5 and move to step 6 5) Select the Sound, video and game controllers Option and right click to DELETE the drivers. 6) Right Click on the Sound, video and game controllers and select the option to Scan for hardware changes (Note these all should now have a ? highlighted yellow and will need to all be reinstalled until the ? goes away for each one) 7) If this doesn't work go to www. driverguide. com (remove spaces) and sign up for a free account. This require clicking a series of ads because it is a FREE account and not a paid one. Turn the power off on your computer and unplug it from any electrical current. On the back off the tower there should be a finger size screw head you will need to remove. Once you do this there should be a cable coming from your hard drive. This cable has a series of numbers written on it. Write them down Once you do this connect everything power the computer on and pm me, i will tell you which driver to get from the above mentioned website. HOPE THIS HELPS!!! Pm with any further questions

Very nice fish

A trip to lake fork with a guide for a whole day would be good enough for me. wish i had a better job..one that actually offers vacation time......... :'(

Thanks dsaavedra, i own many a cranks and have NEVER used them sadly. Ill be using cranks and soft plastics for the first time this year thanks to this wonderful forum! Wish i lived around some of the experience on this forum...fishing alone sucks sometimes :'(

Either way its an awesome catch. If he did somehow manage 2lb test he has my respect for that....i respect him for the catch alone though

I'd just like to say thanks for this thread, im learning a lot and taking it all in. What are some goood all around cranks?
