My 14 year old son is now capable of pulling my boat on and off the trailer and picking me up at the dock. i always felt bad when I had to leave my vehicle on the ramp and get the boat to the dock and then run back to park the truck. I have always noticed though, it is usually helpful to help someone who may have their first boat and not know of all of the unwritten rules of the boat ramp. I once broke up a fight on a ramp in Kentucky because a fellow had wedged his pontoon into the trailer. It took 20 minutes to get them to stop fighting and about 2 to help the guy out.

MY choice would be a Mitchell or Shimano Spinning reel and medium action rod and a Rapala silver floating minnow in the 2 1/2" size. You could use it in any water conditions.

I grew up on Long Island and had my rod and tackle box taken by a Consevation Officer for fishing with live bait in an artificial only pond. If this fellow gets a license and takes it to court they probobly dismiss the charge. I had a young soldier that worked for me in TX do that and all charges were dismissed. It could work and provides all of the money for the year back to the resource. Win-Win

I used to have one of those. The manual says to use plastic milk cartons spread over the crack and heated to melting with a blow torch. This may seem hard to believe but that is what it said! So I guess you could fill the gap with any plastic of that consistency and melt it. Good luck!
