  1. That screenshot of the lures you used is priceless for a newbie like me who gets confused with the random names lure manufacturers come up with for their patterns. thanks
  2. 4 cannon long arms, multiple rod holders, odd parts that I saved. cleaning out. Near Alexandria Bay. $100 takes everything!
  3. 30 to 60 inch, connects to supplied bracket on frame. Angled design. Like new. near Alexandria Bay
  4. One pair homemade planer boards, masts with reels and hi vis, non stretch line, dozen releases. Boards are red cedar, track true and PULL TIGHT. Masts are 5 ft and have Robert’s reels. Releases work as they should. Cleaning up things I no longer need or use. Alexandria Bay
  5. Thanks for always being willing to share. I learn something new from every video.
  6. Does anyone have any experience with these low priced triple rod trees? My use would be for near shore walleye and brown trout fishing. Crazy low price. I know i would have to do some base modification to use them in my Bert's tracks. https://www.amazon.com/RIAHNEAH-Stainless-Launcher-Adjustable-Accessories/dp/B0CQ4L5V31/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=YdxQm&content-id=amzn1.sym.255b3518-6e7f-495c-8611-30a58648072e%3Aamzn1.symc.a68f4ca3-28dc-4388-a2cf-24672c480d8f&pf_rd_p=255b3518-6e7f-495c-8611-30a58648072e&pf_rd_r=SGZBGZCC6RA8QYPMXA2G&pd_rd_wg=zxbVp&pd_rd_r=5d7b9e07-bc5c-4022-985a-533fc99a39f2&ref_=pd_hp_d_atf_ci_mcx_mr_ca_hp_atf_d
  7. I put a 90 hp Mercury 4 stroke on mine with a 9.9 kicker without issue.
  8. I have a 2016 Crestliner Commander, welded aluminum, that has a factory paint, NOT BOTTOM PAINT, white, on the bottom. It is left in the water at my dock April through November. When I pull it in the fall, it is an absolute mess and much harder to get clean than any boat I’ve ever had. Has anyone ever put bottom paint on aluminum? I know Interlux makes a formula specifically for aluminum. If I prep it myself should I try to remove all of the factory paint or just get a good scuff on it? Any info, opinions or contacts would be appreciated.
  9. My experience tells me something way more simple: If the motor can’t keep up with the conditions (for an amount of time that I an unsure if) it will protect itself and give up. If you are close enough to hear it will give you a chirp from the motor. It could be under mild stress with discharged batteries or getting blown too far off mark with good ones.
  10. Good day out for sure! Keep the reports coming
  11. I shrinkwrap my own boat. Bought all of the gear 18 years ago as I store 2 boats and a jetski. When I create my cover, I do it with removal in mind. No extreme underbends are the most important, usually at the stern corners. As long as the support framing goes back in the same way, I'm able to reuse covers for up to thee years! (I'm in Jefferson county and we get snow) Can I uncover, fish and recover the same day? Usually not. But in a year like this, It would provide a lot of flexibility. Cost? 200 ft roll about $400 delivered, 25 ft per cover for my 18', that's 8 covers, $50 each / 3yrs = Under $20/cover Tools to get started? About $750 Again, I've done about 50 covers so far.
