Anyone ever order a reel from Amazon?
I ordered a couple reals from Amazon last year to replace some of my over used and worn out ones. So far so good But it also goes back to how much you pay for certain things I’ve also ordered a bunch of lures and tackle from Amazon and haven’t had any problems. eBay on the other hand not suggested I ordered 2 reals from there and they were cheep and I couldn’t get them adjusted properly

Looking for a new prop
So I’m looking for a new prop for my boat. Currently I have an aluminum prop on there what’s the difference between that and a stainless steel one. Also my prop size is 13.25 by17 3 blade. And my motor is a 70hp Jonson currently I can hit 37 miles per hour wide open throttle and she gets up on plain pretty easily I’m afraid of changing the pitch of the blade I will gladly take any advice thank you

Marine navigation GPS ?
I have looked into some apps and found 1 that I’m trying out right now Omnia fishing so far it’s ok but still not impressed with it. There’s one other one that states it’s free but to unlock the features that you really want and you have to sign up for service on it but I guess that what you have to do to get what your looking for lol

The Funniest Thing Youve Ever Seen On The Water Or At The Ramp
Earlier this year I took my wife one and my kids fishing and we brought one of our friends and he daughter with us well at the end of the day I was back at the boat ramp and was coming about and dealing with a little cross breeze 3 of them hopped out of the boat and I went to line up next to the dock and I sed I had to hit the throttle well as you see one of my brand new lures hooked into my wife’s rear end and in my defense I did say that I was about hit the throttle lol the big joke was should I throw her back lol

No More Ethanol
At the end of every season I dump sea foam in my tank and run her for about 20 minutes then i disconnect the fuel line and let the carbs run through so I get all the fuel out of her pull the plugs spray in more seafoam the do the same thing to the carbs As of right now I am only running with 2 6 gallon tanks i empty them out before the start of every season. One of the biggest problems with all the new fuels is that they build up carbon I see it all the time in my profession now with that being sed. I’ve seen mention of fuel additives already and yes they do work I use marvel mystery pin in all my small engines (lawn mower generator chainsaw) and thay start right up every time. And in my boat seafoam

Sebago Lake in main
Looking for some information about Sebago Lake in Maine. I going up there in 2 weeks for a vacation with my family and I’m bringing my boat I know where I can launch but looking for places to gas’s it up while I’m up there. I’ve only got 2 small 6 gallon tanks and don’t want to have to pull out every time I need fuel. I’m hoping that there’s someplace I can pull up to to gas up while I’m on the water.

Very true I’ve fished monponsett a few times and it is very true. It is heavily fished. That’s where I brought my new to me boat on its maiden voyage last September. I’ve fished wampatuck pond a lot in the past the bite is decent there. And there is a nice little boat ramp behind town hall

Trailer for kayak?
I’ve never taken a video of launching it frome the trailer When I launch it I use the boat ramp I back it in just far enough so it slides right off into the water. Then when I’m loading it same thing in reverse I have a winch on the front of the trailer I can use to pull it up the pic you see if it is just before i flipped it over for the winter it’s usually loaded Down with a motor and equipment I was looking at those before I found the one I have now. I scooped it up for 75$ off Craigslist a cupple years ago input new tires bearings and lights. And it’s been a really reliable set up. I know it can handle 80mph on the highway
