    The marina's "official" facebook page says the channel is open, the dredge is out of the water and up on blocks as of Tuesday afternoon

    A good friend and neighbor passed away suddenly, he was and avid birder and bird carver. I'm placing the add here for his wife hoping his supplies can find a new home. Many bird / bird carving books, rolls of mylar, in process carvings, extra chunks/ pieces of wood, a Foredom grinder with foot switch and boxes of attachments, other incidental patterns and posters. Please PM me with a fair offer for his widow and I will meet with you to pick up, 1 mile south of Braddock bay, off E. Manitou Rd. Thank You, Jim S.

    3rd fish down appears to be an Atlantic.. note the browns have flat tail fins and the Atlantic has a "V" shaped tail...

    I have a 1996 17 ft. Superfisherman, if you're talking about the plastic screen caps, they unscrew. I removed both of mine, plugged them and screwed them back on.

    I run a 17ft. aluminum with an old Raymarine Sport Pilot. maintaining course in bumpy water is not a problem. Location of the fluxgate compass module is critical ( if your new unit uses one) on a smaller boat. Just my $.02....

    Pump it up on the barrier island...

    It depends on how deep they dig the channel.. this little dredge has quite the depth capacity

    I picked up a Depth Raider when they first came out, so long ago I can't tell you the year.. Still going strong. I modified the antenna to use Scotty stop beads on my 'rigger without any hangups... still using the original coated cable.

    Speedy, Here's a video on the tension adjustment with Scotty power grip releases. In the video, he is showing the smaller release, mostly used as a planer board release here on the big lake. The adjustment is the same on the big releases. Note: Scotty sells the big releases with different length leaders. Many of us old guys use the longer leads so we don't have to hang over the gunnel of the boat to set them... much safer. Also, the longer leads will allow the rod tip to shake and bounce if you have a small fish on that doesn't pop the release. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=how+to+use+scotty+power+grip+release#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:0a8d6a85,vid:sBOYlF3PR0k,st:96 My 17 ft. tin boat..
