FISHINMAN

Yes it is the Nautolex. Evil I turned me on to using 3-M spray on glue. It worked great and was about like $9 - $11 a can at home depot. It comes in 70, 80 or 90. Use the 80 or 90 I used almost 2 cans to do my floor. Spray it on the floor and on the back of the vinyl wait about 3 minutes then just press it on. Not to messy and holds great . LT are you in Rochester?

Silverspoon, Rule of thumb is slow in the spring when water is cold and the fish aren't real active with long leads of generally 100' to 150' or more back. Very lengths and see what's working that day. Look for the "pea green" water and zig zag in and out with your lures or just stay in that water and move depths from as shallow as you can to a little deeper but stay in the green. Sometimes they are lurking right at the "line" :shock: Go with both sticks and small to medium size spoons. Some guys prefer to use jointed sticks, some use unjointed sticks and some run both. Look at the lure next to the boat and try to get a speed that gives you a nice slow roll or wobble. Look over site for older posts and you will see what colors people prefer. Orange and gold, black and green, perch, brown trout, chartruse and watermelon those are some of the popular colors in spring. No question is a dumb question on this site guys will help out

LT come to the VINYL side If you look under the link on this forum page that says floor there is a link for where I bought my vinyl if you do decide to go that route

LT I can assure you that the "slipping" is not a problem. It has a bit of a bumpy surface but I have had it in my boat for 13 years now and I ski/board some too and we always have bare feet that feel good . It won't retain the fish smell either :shock: Just more food for thought.

LT, why carpet? Vinyl cleans up a whole lot better and isn't that expensive either. Just did my 19.5 foot boat for less than $100

Jeff, I may interested in the EEZZ out rod holders. Can you send me a pic? [email protected] Thanks,Tom

I am still looking into a new reel for wire and a spool of wire P.S. ONE LAST THING THAT ALMOST SLIPPED MY MIND, A NEW GARAGE FOR THE BOAT WITH A HOUSE ATTACHED TO IT :shock:

Has any of you gentlemen tried the Carlson Spoons? They have alot of "different" patterns and colors from NK and others. Think I'm gonna spend some more $$ :shock: :roll: and was wondering if there was any particular ones that you have had any luck with. P.S. Shhhhhh don't tell the Mrs. :evil:

Ray there was LOU guys there :shock: I know that you are short but are you so short you couldn't read the LAKEONTARIOUNITED.COM on the hat I was wearing Glad you made it to the sale I went there and spent all $26 I had on me and will be returning on Tuesday to throw more $$$ at them :shock: :?

C&R see this http://fishing.lakeontariounited.com/viewforum.php?f=4 Scroll through the pages and there is alot of photos and info on the spoons that are used. Some are stock some are taped. Hope this helps you

RJ, he had mentioned that to me but said there wouldn't be a problem Thanks for the input though.

Looks like I found a canvas guy for my boat top. Looking at top, side cutains, walk through windshild and back drop curtain all for between $900 and $1,000 :shock: > It's Hayes Canvas Works in Bath NY. I am gonna go with a material (can't remember the name of it) but they use it on BMW's and other high end cars and boats it's canvas just like the Sunbrella but also has a vinal backing on the inside that will keep it from ever leaking and yet won't shrink Every other person I talked to said it was gonna run between $1,200 and $1,600. Even had a guy come to my house that said he wouldn't even touch it for less that $1,200 and that was without the drop curtain :evil: Looks like April 23rd is the date for drop off. I will post pics when it's done.

Larry, Steve is top notch :!: He is also the reason we have this great site :!: :!:

Nice job Jeeeweeeeeeeeee and Rick . Give me a shout Jerweee and we'll get out in the A.M Now I might have to give it a try on Thursday with my boat and take along the boss and his son. How were the lengths back? All sticks or spoons too?

IT'S A DUCK :!: :shock: AND A ENGLISH MAJOR TOO

Mark try a damn magic eraser it's worked on every thing I've put it on :shock: I'm thinking of rubbing one on the Mrs. :shock:

I ran the 15# big game with 8 feet of 10 or 12# Seagur ( it's the best :!: ) fluoro leaders too in the spring then switched to the 25# big game with 20# Seagur in the summer

YT I also took the test ride in the Tundra and thought it was nice but steering was a little tight . I must have just missed ya :x because I was on my way down there and Jax said you were there.

Thanks Tom and Ray (and Dave for the spelling error :roll: :x ) I never thought about the slider part of it. Maybe I'll give it all a little test this spring.

you one funny dude Mark :!:

Single or treble that is the question :?: I have a bunch of hookless spoons that somebody gave to me and was wondering if any of you guys run spoons with single hooks? I have ran them way back in the day (like the Andy Reekers) but I figure there is a reason why the manufactures put trebles on them like for the added wobble.

Sturgeon are good to eat. I've actually run it at a couple of restaurants I've worked at and people seemed to love it, but then again maybe it's the guy preparing it so good :shock: . Billy as far as the rigging tips can you pass them along to us that have the FRD. Do you have a e-mail address for Dennis I need to get the new plastic directional wing for mine from him. Thanks P.S BILLY,NICE OF DENNIS TO LET YOU WEAR HIS COAT
