Ever know anybody like this ???
If he is breaking that many off, maybe it is time for you to make some money with some side bets. When his mistakes start costing him money which will quickly relate to pride, I'll bet he makes some changes.

100 MPH Gore-tex system rain gear...Worth the money or not?
I have the 100 mph and would buy it again. It is the driest I have ever worn. I drove 170 miles one way to buy the Cabela's. I'm glad I did instead of ordering it because it did not fit me at all.

Riveted or Welded Aluminum Boats
I'd have to give the Xpress a #1 on tin boats. They have the lift and ride of a fiberglass boat. The only problem I have seen is the blow around in the wind. If I were going back to aluminum it would be without a doubt be an Xpress.

Riveted or Welded Aluminum Boats
I don't have a dog in this fight or am trying to pee high on the wall. What I know is if you keep either one you will have some repairs. Most of us don't have the stuff to repair welded boats. All of us have the ability to spend a few bucks on JB Weld and gom it around a leaky rivet head. With that said, one of my friends kept a welded jon going for 25 years with JB Weld and not trips to a $100 per hour shop.

Finesse Spinning Rod: ML or Medium?
I think if you get the ML you will find that it is not a versatile as a M would be. I have tried from ML to MH for those applications and have gotten rid of all but the M rods. And like stated the drop shot is where I think you would use the ML most. I drop shot with the same rod that I use for small grubs.

Reel Bearings
If you use lighter fluid it must contain naptha. That is the other substance besides acetone for soaking them. When you are done be sure to pat them dry and let the air dry for a few hours before reinstalling and/or reoiling.

Is the site slow for anyone else?
Some days it is slow and some days it is fine.

water pump
Do you have a water pressure gauge? Like W2S I change every 3 years because that is cheap insurance. As far as water out the pee hole that happens in a few seconds, however, my duce and a quarter Opti needs 5 minutes or more to warm up the the 120° temp before taking off in these low temp waters that we now have.

Getting into jig making
I have not. I get most of my skirt tabs from www.fishingskirts.com. They have a good selection and if you purchase by the 100 ct. The prices are great.

Trail Guard trailers for G3 boats
I expect that since Yamaha owns G3 that they probably own Bears also. They are in Lebanon where the G3s are. What is your concern with them?

converting to a swing away trailer
Yes it can. The price around here varies from about $300 to over $1000 depending on the shop that does the work.

Odd hypothetical question but I'm bored so here goes:
I'd quit, sell the boat and camper and go back to golf.

2011 Plans
I'll be doing the same old same old. Fishing when the weather allows and the water is not hard. This past year was the worst I have had in many a year. The fish were hard to find after the spawn and the smallies just disappeared. Even the best white bass lake had a die off and fall fishing for them was nonexistent. I'm looking forward to a better year in 2011.

788CI - any final thoughts before I buy...
I don't run Birds but do run side imaging. I just sold my regualr gps units and have a new side imaging unit coming for the bow. I hate to sit up there and have the guy in the back using side or down scan and I have only 2d sonar. I think in a few years we may see 2d sonar go the way of the horse and buggy.

Any Pomme de Terre reports?
I fished there on Tuesday. I had a short spinnerbait bite just as the line quit freezing. Then it stopped. I cound not get bit on a jig and wound up catching the rest of my fish on rocky banks without trees. Tubes were all I could get them to hit and that was not often.
