get more gear, fish more, maybe even more gear yet! can any one get my wife a second job so I can afford it??? shhh don't tell her

agree dnr could do a better job the bigger lakes can be challenging and are usually fished pretty hard

thanks nice read

some times I think we don't really realise that family and friends are the most important things. and is really what makes us smile the most remember the times with your dad or kids. money cant buy that. sounds to me like you have wealth many never find.. keep fishing, keep smiling, catch big ones lonnie

when I was a kid me and neighbor boys trying to catch bull frogs by hand. heard a big splash I had a old fashion long eared black and tan coon hound. she caught one! I guess she was watching us. sad part, I guess she was smarter. go figure?

cant. addicted! thinking about adding more reels and poles. got to have some kind of craziness!!! have a great year my friend lonnie

I have older 393 ranger Comanche 1988 model with 1992 Johnson 150 doesnt have ladder. that model had curved plus tapered rear end doe any one know of boat skrap yards or where one might find a ladder to fit? not having any luck. happy new year thanks lonnie

agree I admire you gentleman as well. keep going never give up. fish with a buddy. may go bless you all lonnie

I got an 1850 gator jon boat with 90 hp Yamaha runs about 45mph rides good easy to fish out of. I especialy like fishing it in stump fields. o course I crappie fish as well. anchor on both ends. doesnt hang up on small stick up stumps as bad as my 393 ranger does and not scuffing fiberglass boat down side, you do loose a lot off stability when other boats are blowing by you and less storage my son also duck hunts out of it in winter months. if your looking for dual purpose. times are tough and there are good deals out there. be patient in you search. hope you find a good one catch big ones! lonnie

I rebuilt all my carbs on 92 Johnson 150 wasn't hard at all. I first bought Johnson repair manual tho. lots of good info on what ever maintance you would want to do I know mine is older and smaller than yours but most of that kind of stuff really not that difficult read carefully and just do it. might just surprise yourself hope you get it fixed bad running boat no fun! good luck fishing this year lonnie
