  1. I think you would have to have either very clear or very shallow or both to see much of anything with a drone.
  2. Boat trailer max because my rig weighs in at 4500 to 5000 #. Utility trailer 35#.
  3. If you like the rod I wouldn’t. It may totally change the rod. On rods that I have owned and had tips broken and new tips put on they were so different that I couldn’t stand using them.
  4. Typically Trackers are built for first time cost conscious buyers. Therefore they have smaller outboards, weaker trolling motors and cheaper electronics. Have you looked at G3 or Xpress?
  5. If you have vinyl siding you can clean it without a power washer in a fraction of the time with a 50/50 solution of bleach and water. Just spray it on, give it a few minutes to work, then rinse it off, done. I can do in 30 minutes what used to take half of a day.
  6. Buckle up. SWMO is getting hammered. It’s on the way to you.
  7. I have mine rotated and inspected every summer. If needed any or all are replaced. Every fall I take the boat in for an oil change, etc. They give the boat and trailer a 34 point inspection. So far so good.
  8. Woman sitting on a ledge. Asked if we would take her fishing. Then she took her top off and shook her girls at us. Thanks but no thanks.
  9. The other half is in the boat.
  10. I imagine that it is the way you have the reel set. I use fluorocarbon in sizes 6#, 10#, 12#, 15# and 20# on my bait casting reels. The thicker line casts a little shorter is all that I see.
  11. How about Gorilla glue. It has glued everything down that I have used it on.
  12. Ok Bill I recognize that. We call it beetle spin.
  13. I guess I live in the wrong part of the country. I’m not familiar with the jig and spinner. Are you referring to a Whiz jig?
  14. You didn’t specify what kind of weight. Do-It makes all kinds of molds. They may have what you are wanting. If it is something that Barlow’s carries they are often cheaper than Do-It. There are various types of melting pots. You can get bottom pours or units that you dip out with a ladle. The latter is the most trouble free and probably least expensive. I am personally only familiar with bottom pours. I have a Lee and a RCBS. The Lee is prone to rusting and clogging but is inexpensive. I used it for 20 years making thousands of jigs but also cleaning it regularly and replacing worn out parts. The RCBS is a super unit but costs a lot more money. I have only had it a few years but it has performed flawlessly. I hope this is what you wanted.
  15. I had 2 electric washers. I found them to be lacking in pressure.
  16. That sounds like a quality control item. I haven’t been there in over a year with this Covid thing. I’m not sure who is running it now. I was told that owner was having some memory issues. His wife, daughter or son in law may be managing now.
  17. It has been a long time since I have worked with coordinates so forgive me if I am wrong. I am pretty sure that you are dealing with utm and lat lon coordinates. You can Google utm conversion aps.
  18. That is who made my Champion cover. They are about 10 miles from my house.
  19. We had a conversation a couple of years ago about threading rods. I was in need of something so I bought one. I use it all the time. I find it to be a very useful tool. The reason I am posting now is I mishandled one of the bobbins and broke it. I went to their web site to order more and noticed that the RTD is on sale. It is 1/3 off the normal price if any of you are interested. It has really helped these old eyes.
  20. I had a custom cover made for my Champion when I bought it. It was still in good shape 14 years later when I sold the boat.
  21. I started using my Curado dcs 7.4:1 and am loving them.
  22. I have 5 of their products in the boat right now. They are rigged with Arig (2), wiggle wart, shaky worm, and buzz bait. Most of them will see action tomorrow.
  23. For the best performance of electronics and reducing interference they should be wired directly to the cranking battery with the inline fuse provided with the unit.
