  1. At least politicians should have to take an oath to never lie to the public . It might make a difference Your point is well taken.
  2. Can you send me a PM with additional information, like the price and when you will remove the transducer from your boat /
  3. It occurs to me that certain publications get paid by certain people to print certain things. Maybe we have to look into changing the first amendment so lying is no longer protected, fantasy must be marked as such and bending the truth must be clearly marked. It would be nice to allow politicians to only speak the truth and every lie would cost them a few 1000 dollars to go into a fund for victims of their lies. That would shorten the gravy train. Oh well, on a cold winter's day like this , one can dream.
  4. Great! I hope they will all go there and leave Sandy alone,then everybody will be happy
  5. I stand corrected.
  6. I mostly fish Lake Ontario In depths of 40 to 200 feet down and sometimes but rarely at 450 feet down I currently use a Furuno 587 with a TM260 transducer and a Garmin UHD 64CV with a GT24UHD-TM Transducer. I am not really happy with this setup. There just seem to be too many monitors on the dashboard and the Furuno does not "talk" to the Garmin which has the GPS. While the Garmin has too small a screen. So I want to clean up the dash and have only one Fishfinder/GPS Monitor with a 1KW transducer with chirp capability, while not interfering with the fish hawk down temp and speed gauge which uses 70kh. I am thinking a 10 or 12 inch touch screen monitor ,probably but not definitely a Garmin because the auto pilot and the GPS are also Garmin but I get mixed up with all the different products on the market. I want my transducer to be high end, but I don't need a hookup to radar (I have no radar) or other super fancy equipment. I have a budget of give or take $2000. What would you good people suggest?
  7. Does she like to eat fish or does she like to feed fish?
  8. You are right and wrong at the same time. The lake effect snow that is created by Lake Erie and Lake Ontario does not change anything. That is where you are right. The Lake effect snow created by Lake Huron that travels through the air toward Erie and Ontario does make a difference. As for your second argument. That is true for the submerged ice and not for the ice that is above the surface of the water, like the visible parts of icebergs and of course all the ice that is on top of dry land masses like Iceland Greenland and Ant-Artica So yes, sea levels will rise.
  9. Hmm. About that life insurance policy thing. Did your wife encourage you to go fishing?
  10. The water level in Lake Erie has very little if anything to do with how much water they let out into the St Lawrence. It has to do with how much water comes down from the upper lakes. It takes a long time for water to travel from Lake Superior to Lake Erie. So even if there is a very heavy snow pack in the North this year it will take a long time to reach lake Erie. More than a year. In this case, however, climate change is our friend. The lakes are still quite warm for the time of year and lake effect snow promises to be quite substantial because of it. Also because the upper lakes will take longer to get a serious amount of ice cover, which would limit lake effect snow. Already we saw that there are lake snow connections that are coming in from the northern lakes and dump very substantial amounts of water from above in and around both Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. This dramatically shortens the travel time that the water would normally take to reach the lower lakes and it increases the overall amount. Anyway there is little to nothing we can do about this in the short run.
  11. Do the spark plugs in your kicker have resistors in them? If they don't it usually causes interference. On champions the letter code should have an R in it .
  12. That is a beautiful boat. I have restored about 8 boats so far, but always to make them ready to fish and never shiny like yours. I did it because I love the process of planning and rebuilding, but upon finishing the project I usually loose all interest and look for something new to start. Do you have the same feeling about this project, or do you plan to use it as your go to rig?
  13. On the off chance that they may have come up from Florida. How about $450?
