Looks great, congrats to job well done!!!

Thanks for your explanation, since Santa brought my daughters the new iPad there are two old ones floating around the house, and they claim this would work, I like the idea of my dipsy lines, knowing where they are yes I have all the precision trolling books to tell me approx. where they are but knowing exactly where so I could let more line out or bring the in a notch, I'm a little gun shy of letting to much line out on my dipsies, this would allow me to know exactly where we are.

Yea Dan that the reason and only reason I don't have a smart troll system. Big Yankee $$$ and no monitor, so you need a iPad or smartphone either way it's another $5 Ben Franklins, so for $650 you have true time tested unit, now that sub troll packed it in.

Yea I like my Evinrude 15jp, it's what I use for my kicker but it's a 78 and it's been used hard over its lifetime. She's showing her age, not that she has failed me, doesn't foul plugs but starting to get hard finding parts. Good luck with your sale!!! pap,

I would have jumped on this had it been a 9.9 or a 15hp

I couldn't agree more, Old Man, there's absolutely no reason to take 5 pike a day, Just like the Muskie guys they pulled together and got what they want. Why can't the pike regs be similar, but not to extent of the size, or put a slot on them but surly not 5. 2 in the slot. I also will say that the PA. Fish comm totally screwed up our home lake, we had walleye galore and trout pan fish of ever species, then somehow the alewives came to town they are by the tens of thousands, so they stocked the hell out of it with Muskie, exactly what Justin mentioned they did nothing. Time went by they then stocked more Browns and it was a slaughter fest for the muskies, they fed on the trout & walleyes, so what did the knot heads do but stock stripers to clean up the alewives. The guys secret weapon for the stripers was to go up to the trout hatchery and buy 4-6" trout and fish them. This didn't work because Beltzville lake is one tough lake to fish, why they still don't have the alewives under control, don't let this happen on Conesus. I don't know the answers but I do know what doesn't work.

I'm not a ice fisherman, but man this year is really not the year to have enough ice for SAFE fishing yet I wouldn't be surprised if it gets moved to FEB. I don't want to hear about anyone going through, let alone one of our brothers/sisters from LOU. I know everyone is chomping at the bit to get out there but PLEASE use caution!!! This goes out to all of you!!! No fish is worth hypothermia or the worst of all!!! Your friend PAP.

Well At least is not a stinking snakehead!! All of the statistics about it being a mud minnow, eats little fish and can live out of the water sounds about right. I was at first sight, snakehead kill it. That fish is lucky it wasn't in my pond, it would have been in two pieces or more.

I took the hook off a vibrax spinner added a 18" fluro and a slow death hook add worm and bingo. Never saw a trout refuse a juice worm, Smithwicks and bay rats, the goby rat worked the best and old faithful Smithwicks orange bottom with a gold/black top.

Yea Whaler that's what I was getting at. lLOL. I think that's great. My kind of peple!!!!

The ladies certainly don't look like they had hunting attire on, both good looking gals, the fox is nice also. I hope you have a big stick dad!!!

That's great to hear that precision trolling has realized these lures are here to stay. If Mark thought anything less about the rats he surely wouldn't be wasting his time swimming these lures past a guy holding a measuring stick.

Finally a lure company that builds strong lures, great action no tuning work great right out of the box and good color that isn't gone after a few battles with the Northerns that seem to lurk the same waters as eyes. I said to my uncle finally eye candy for fisherman and fish LOL.

Not to Hyjack this thread which is very interesting the old school lures worked well because they were sold with the intent to catch fish, now a days the role has changed yes the fisherman still pay for them, but the newer lures catch fisherman. People complain about paying $10 for a proven Sutton turn around and pay in the higher teens to nearly $20 for a Japanese or Chinese lures because "man these lures have to catch fish" jmo.

Isn't that the American way, got yer money, you had to abuse the unit for it to come apart, we've never saw anything like this, we will get to this next week-week after- we will call the dealer when we come to "our" decision. I feel for ya man, I had a similar ordeal, the motor on my brand new 1995 Skidoo the crankshaft busted right at the clutch I held the clutch in my hands at Slate Rock hotel. The dealer couldn't believe it and the warranty took for ever. So I shelled 7g loaded it on the trailer unloaded at the motel on the same rode that Fat Nancy's on to the right, drove to Slate Rock. Next day got it with the trailer and didn't see it again till the fall season. For your sake I hope you have a better road to travel, good luck Devin I'm pulling for ya!!! OH YEA, there was no reason for the **** on the other to be just that, I bet you had to bite your tongue a few times!!
