Good Eye! Yes they are! ;D

Thanks for the kind words guys, but to be honest...75 percent of the stuff I buy on clearance or with coupons or closeouts. I take advantage of those $10 off $25 at dicks all the time I get a coupon. You can buy $25 worth of stuff for $15. If the stuff is on sale too even better. For example this week Dicks sporting goods had 20% off all Yamomoto baits. So a bag of regular senkos is 4.78 with the 20 percent off. You buy 6 bags for 28.68....use the coupon it comes out to 18.68 plus tax for 6 bags of senkos. thats 3.11 a bag. This is a no brainer guys. Just patience and smart shopping. Zoom products are off the hook. they start at 2.99 -20% thats 2.40 a bag times 11 bags equals 26.40 - $10 bucks with coupon= $16.40 for 11 bags of zoom Thats $1.49 a bag. HOW QUICKLY A WALL FILLS UP WITH SAVINGS LIKE THAT. With 2 quick trips, I put 17 bags of platics on my wall. I give half the stuff away to little kids and nephews and stuff...all the time. Its all about the fishing

That not the garage! ;D That is my room in the basement for me and me only. Got my workbench in there, Gunsafe, Computer and my hobby stuff. I made sure I had a room for me to escape from the wife and kids.

I just started myself. Its addicitng like crack! I got the kit you are talking about! If you foloow the directions and dels recipe, you will be surprised at how good they come out.

Not including whats filled in the boat! Here is my wall of shame.

You would need one the size of fridge to charge a trolling motor battery. Not worth it from what I have read. Those little ones might be able to top off and maitain a cell phone or radio, but thats it.

55 will work, I assume 1 battery? that would be your highest anyway.

In Mass also, But all Ice gone here! (worcester area). Gonna try to get out this weekend.

I have a 480 and love it, I would buy it again. If you have a Dick's Sporting goods around you I got a $10 off $25 coupon. Everything helps.... PM me if you want it.

True, some are too stiff, Im not arguing any point here either. If you look at my fishing wall of shame (pegboard full of fishing stuff) you will see the Yamamoto stuff the most. But I do find myself using the otheres more and more. I switch up on the same colors from different manufacturers to see if there are differences. Some days yes, Some days no.

I agree! Confidence is what makes a senko a senko. If your confident in your bait, it does not matter what you are using. IMO

I agree, get it with the garden hose and you will be fine. I used a 30 pound thrust in brackish water for years and the only thing that corroded was the battery terminals....and I didnt even hose it off.

I agree!

Congrats man! My cousin has the same boat but a 2005! He loves it! And I know what you mean about fishing out of Jon for years. I did it too!

Yes they do! Especially the old guy, I think of my dad, and the little girl I think of my daughter.

Excellent work! Im impressed!

Congrats on the boat! Anything beats Bank fishing....ask anyone Lests see some pics!

Have a look at these he did: http://www.tinboats.net/Gallery/displayimage.php?album=2&pos=0 and scroll down half way on this page! The guy does amazing work! http://tinboats.net

Nice conversion! Lets see some fish now!

Good luck with the new boat! Lets see some fish out of that thing!

I like the basspro ones myself (up to 7 foot rods). They really make getting the rods out of the locker much, much easier. Plus you really cant go wrong for $4 each.

$699 and new. This is a great little motor that will out last you if taken care of! http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10151&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&partNumber=50120&hvarTarget=search&cmCat=SearchResults

Good luck with her! Lets see some pics!

Cant help you out with the mounting, But congrats on a nice little JON. That thing will help you get some nice fish for sure! Good luck with her!

Thanks Ted! I will check out the local Target! I know what you mean about having your own boat. There is nothinkg like it! I cant wait till all this d**n ice is gone!
