Just picked up my new boat
Anyone familiar with MotorGuide Stealth Trolling motors? Mine came with one, I was going to make a video about how my foot pedal MAY not work ( still might, but been super busy...bruins game tonight woot woot) This isent mine but it looks exactly like this : I know that the white button is on/off. and the wheel is speed, but does the pedal go forward and back to adjust where its being angled? left or right? If so, mines stuck rusted probably...wonder if i could get it to work

Just picked up my new boat
It seems very narrow, which is a concern but I havent taken it out yet. I really have NO idea how to work the Motorguide foot control. I know that there is a button on the side that makes it go, then a scroll that adjusts speed...but how the hell do i turn it? by hand? that seems pointless. The manual that came with it said that you push the pedal forward for right turn, back for left, and keep it straight for straight. But I dont know if its rusted but i pushed all of my weight on the pedal and it didnt move. I think i'm going to make a video tomorrow and post it. see if anyone could help me out.

The Geek Squad is 0 for 2
LOL. Story I hear everyday at my work, 80% of our business is network consultants for small, medium, and large business (some international) but we also have a storefront where local people come in and we work on their computers. I NEVER talk down to anyone that comes in, or try to go all nerd over their *** and make it seem like they don't know what they are doing, because its just bad business and I always wanna help anyone out. Geek squad are a bunch of morons. They get paid 10 bucks an hour ( so under paid for tech industry its not even funny) but they charge over 200 an hour for a house call Their goal is not to repair, but to get you to REPLACE whatever is broken...remember, they work for a RETAIL store. they are not your friend. So many of my customers are people who come from Staples tech support, or Geek Squad who mess everything up. Tom, just from what you are saying it just sounded like there could of been a problem with the driver, or, windows system file. Good job with the check disk Lol they told you your HDD was on its way out? Seriously what does that even mean? I would only say that to a customer if it was making sounds it shouldn't, or if I could read the drive from our sled but it wouldn't boot windows ( that just happened on Thursday in my shop) As for the check disk and the msconfig BOOT tab, be careful. If you really wanna do a thorough check disk but not have to deal with "on next re-boot" crap just type "Start>run>cmd> chkdsk C: /r" What the "/r" does is it check 5 stages, as opposed to the default 3. and automatically fixes error. Next time you ever have comp problem just PM me ..that goes for anyone.

Just picked up my new boat
Well I just got back from picking up my new boat and overall I will say that I am pleased. I have a 12 foot Jon Boat and this is a 14 Foot Jon. The 5 HP motor is in perfect condition, the stealth + motor guide pedal works like a charm, and the pump for the live well is strong. The only thing that I can see that I will have to do is cosmetics. I DEFENITLY plan on replease that horribly ugly carpet that it has, i mean seriously what was he thinking?!?. Also the back seat has seen better days but he threw in another one as a replasement. I would also like to re paint it, not sure how difficult that would be but its worth looking in to. Here is my concern....the beam. the beam is very narrow as you can see. Now I know hes fished out of this for a while but I cant imagine it was easy...i mean look at it. It looks like one hard turn with the motor and its tipping...but maybe i'm wrong? I'll have to wait and see but either way the price that I got it at I could use it for a season, and resell at the end and probably make a profit which is good. Let me know what you think/suggestions please!

My original Fred C Young Big-O hand signed crankbait. To me its the holy grail of cranks, it only catches LM's 3 lb+ . Its amazing.

Myles Standish----Plymouth,MA
There are probably 15 ponds in all of Myles Standish, I think that College Pond offers some good large mouth from shore fishing, or Torrey Pond I havent been down to plymouth so much in the past year but I plan on it this year. Have you ever been to Ames Nowell State Park in Abington? Awesome Fishing. Most underrated in the South Shore

Last resort to save a day?
Desperation bait = grabbing a knife, diving into the water and swinging the knife frantically until you get something....or until someone calls the police.

Amazing QB video
Maybe instead of making video of trick shots he should focus on being the first string QB and apply those talents. (hes only a back up QB) Nevertheless, impressive

How dumb can Humminbird be?
Dude, serieal ports were phased out in the late 90s. : I have four, and none of them have that port. Not on the back, and not behind the door on the front where there are other connectors. I'll bet the computers you are looking at have USB ports. OH RLY?

I am literally looking at several computers at my work that have that port.

Had this arguement with a buddy at BPS the other day...
I asked him "If I intended to grab a rod, grab a lure and knot it to the line...then go over to the Fish Tank and drop it in....how far would I get before someone stopped me?" He said "You would of been stopped when trying to knot the lure.... not even close" I argued "No way, not only would no one stop me , but I bet that i could not only fish the tank...but catch a fish as well" So, its obvious to say this is a completely stupid argument, but it got me thinking, I wonder if there have ever been any crazed anglers who have tried this stunt before. What you think? Do I have a chance of landing a big carp or what

New Jersey Lakes
Yea there is a chance he was being sarcastic, describing his poor fishing in that way but i didn't get that vibe. This is just me personal opinion, i really dislike NJ. I've been there 3 times and every time-EVERYWHERE- i went smelt horrible. like garbage. But if the fishin' is good then by all means i'de love to go.
