    i was thinking about that possibility , just was hoping to find a very flexible hose.

    Hello all, in the slow process of putting down a new floor in my 18ft smokercraft, My problem is while i'm at it i am replacing any thing that was under the floor. the live well's overflow hoses are about 10 inches long going out each side , they have an 1 1/2 in inside diameter but they have a 3 inch offset, i need some flex hose that is soft enough to get the offset needed, guess it would of made too much sense to line the overflows straight when they built it. I found what the local marine shop calls flex hose but you need a gorrilla to bend it, and i need to offset it 3-4 inches in a 10 inch run. any help would be welcomed. Thanks Bud

    Decided to go with Marine plywood, place downstate in Dutchess county, Condon Lumber has any piece of wood known to man. $119 a sheet. By far the strongest plywood i have ever seen. Will keep updated on progress.

    When I mention stringers, I mean the raised ribs the floor was screwed down to. I wasn't planning on using marine grade plywood, just a good acx with maybe 5ply. I understand now about the epoxy floor idea, it would adhere to thr paint and not the floor itself. Guess I will go with a vinyl floor covering. I appreciate all the ideas, always good to ask, saves time on doing it twice.

    Transom is solid, the floor rotted out from previous owner . Boat had a 2 stroke with an oil tank in the rear, either a leaky tank or just a lot of spillage trying to fill it the floor was oil rotted, once that started water compounded the problem. Instead of doing a piece meal job I removed the entire floor. Stringers all look good , i would replace all the styrefoam weather it has life left in it or not. Original floor had carpet, I was thinking about an Epoxy floor instead of a covering. Guessing the ACX plywood should be covered with an oil based paint or clear polyurethene.

    Hello fellow fishermen, I have an 18ft smokercraft with a soft floor, Hull is all aluminum , floor was plywood. I want to replace the whole floor, question is, is 1/2 in marine grade plywood suitable or does anyone have a better suggestion.

    What in the world were they thinking when they designed the new pier at Ollcot. Guess they don't want people fishing anymore. Some real genius designed this one. good ole DEC , I'm sure with no access the whole area is going to suffer, that was a very popular access point for shore anglers.

    I never found the short shallow in wonderbread but i'll bet they would of been exceptional.

    It is extra hard to believe because they are a very great bait trolling for browns. The long shallow in Wonderbread has been my main brown trout lure for 3 yrs. And i've searched high and low and can't find anymore anywhere.

    Anyone know what happened to BayRat, did they close up , their website is vague about their future. I need long shallow Wonder Breads

    those Heathkit flashers were the best, I built about 8 of them for all my buddies i fished with. Yes there were 100's of parts, took about 50 hrs per unit to put together.

    Well that was a bust. Weather report looked great for saturday. Trailered the boat up to Lake O, 5&1/2 hour ride, lasted about 20 minutes, was hoping it was fishable out past the break walls but no such luck. 3 to 4 ft waves with about 6 foot swells. Safetly made it back in the mouth of the Salmon, casted plugs, spoons and even fished fresh skein, not only did we get skunked, never saw a fish caught all day, fished till about 2pm then made the drive back home. total waste.

    heading up to pulaski this weekend, wondering if i need to bring downriggers, or are maglips or diving plugs enough, along with spoons with a little weight on them.

    I fish NYC reservoirs and troll leadcore, no motors allowed, row power only. Millers have been my go to spoons for 40yrs. 22, 66 trouter and #3trouter, they are a little heavier than the flutter lites, the 22 was only in flutter lite so when ever I got a hold of the fixed hook 22's I remove the single and replace with a treble hook. All 3 are great for Browns or Lakers. Your spoons look great by the way. In my opinion those spoons with a swinging treble would be a perfect fit for spring Browns or Steelhead, and I would be interested in purchasing some. The #3 is a smaller version of the #22 just a tad longer than the #66. I always thought about what would happen if Miller went out of business, so I always over bought. Still have maybe 100 active millers and another couple dozen still in packages. But hey you can never have enough, my two sons also troll and I won't give them up, sorry boys, LOL So your spoons would be a perfect fit.

    Great info about these flies. Think i'll inquire about the Artic Flies, I really like the wobble disc ahead of the fly. Nice addition to my arsenal.
