For you "older" guys...time for fishing glasses????
I need magnifying for tying. I found a very cool magnifier at Harbor Freight Tools. It is rectangular, @ 4" x 6", mounted on a weighted base with an adjustable gooseneck and has a built in led light. happy fishing. ~B.A.s.S.~N.A.F.C.~BoatU.S.~N.R.A.~A.M.A.~

How do you keep cats away from your boat/cover?
I use a pole and strap system that forms a "tent" out of my cover, allowing rain to run off without pooling in the cover. Since the cover is "tented", there's no place a cat can jump/land on . I got the pole/strap system at Cabelas. Can't remember what the brand name is. Happy fishing. ~B.A.S.S.~N.A.F.C.~BoatU.S.~N.R.A.~A.M.A.'

motor inspection cost
When I bought my boat it hadden't been in the water for 3 years. I found a terrific Evinrude mechanic and paid him about that much to inspect it before my first trip to the lake. Good thing I did. It needed quite a bit of work, but now is in top condition, and the inspection fee was absorbed into the servicing fee. Happy fishing. ~B.A.S.S.~N.A.F.C.~BoatU.S.~N.R.A.~A.M.A.~

Using bluegill as bait
I like to use bluegill for flathead bait. I hook them above the spine, right between the soft and hard rays of the dorsal fin. Happy fishing. ~B.A.S.S.~N.A.F.C.~BoatU.S.~N.R.A.~A.M.A.'

There are few things I hate more than a thief
I appreciate everyones sincere messages. My daughter, Zosha Lee Pickett, born July 15, 1983, was kidnapped from her bed while she slept, taken @ 3/4 of a mile away to an abandoned car where she was raped and killed , June 27, 1986, in Tucson Arizona .The crime triggered what was at the time the second largest manhunt in Arizona history. The crime went unsolved for 5 years. The perpitrator was eventually found, tried, and convicted November 12, 1992, and executed June 19, 1996. I watched this human garbage die in the executation chamber at the Arizona state prison, Florence Arizona. He was a serial child rapist/murderer. A sad coincidence of the case was that a little girl burried diagonally from Zosha, Cathy Fritz, was also raped and murdered by this monster three years earlier. Zosha's mother and I moved to Phoenix one year after the crime to escape the media and public attention. I married again in 1991 to a great lady who's husband, a Maricopa County Sheriff's Office detention officer, was murdered in August of 1986. Together we have forged a new and hopeful, if sometimes very difficult , life. Thanks again for your kind thoughts. Sincerely, Allen Pickett

There are few things I hate more than a thief
Child molesters. If it was up to me, every one of those creeps would serve ninety-nine years in the electric chair. My daughter was kidnapped, raped, and murdered. I have a concealed weapon permit and won't hesitate to intervene in a situation where assault or life is at stake, but thieves are nothing but a minor annoiance. Be thankful you only lost a few replacable objects.

onboard battery charger concept
I have a 12" X 18" solar battery charger mounted on my boat. It slowly charges batteries while parked in my driveway without the weight of a charger. It also returns a small amount of charge to the batteries while on the water, but obviously not as much as is being used. Happy fishing. ~B.A.S.S.~N.A.F.C.~BoatU.S.~N.R.A.~A.M.A.'

Is 40 LB thrust enough?
I live in Phoenix Arizona and we get some pretty strong wind on our lakes. I have a 16' fiberglass boat with 80 hp motor and a 50# thrust Minn-Kota Edge motor that has absolutely no trouble pulling me around under any conditions. Just my two cents. Happy fishing. ~B.A.S.S.~N.A.F.C.~BoatU.S.~N.R.A.~A.M.A.~
