  1. Great info... Being a cheap old fart--- I mark my lines (with a magic marker) --- red at 75 feet and black at 120 foot... My reels take-up/ let out appox. 2 feet per turn of the handle so, if I'm not getting bit and can adjust 5 or 10 turns and I still know how much line is out... Once I find the right "feet" to troll for the day... It easy to set the lines as needed...
  2. Here is a map of the three fishing docks that I know of...
  3. I know a half dozen guys that catch good catfish under the bridge at Aldrich .....
  4. X2--Great info...
  5. Mine are SOOOOO old that they don't have plugs... just three wire coming out thru a "potting" gunk .......
  6. Mine are a "throw-a-way" single sealed unit.. nothing gets inside, until you back into something and crack the case...
  7. The best color to use on ANY lake at night is the one that has the best Silhouette against the night sky when you hold it above your head.... If all else fails --black, purple, black & purple.........
  8. I have only replaced my trailer light once in the 18 years that I have had this boat/trailer (one each side)... But, it takes me a good 10-12 minutes to ready the boat, once I'm at the lake ( boat tiedowns, motor toter, DRAIN PLUG, squeeze the primer bulb, mount two graphs, turn on power to boat and trolling motor, plug in trolling motor, get rods , tackle and life jackets out of the lockers, unhook safety and winch straps, ..) I stop far enough back from the launch ramp that I'm not in the way of people launching....

  18. **********************WRONG ************************* SORRY !!!! FYI... to get to Hartley & State Park Marina, the town of Stockton, you will have to drive completely around the lake,, The 215 bridge is closed for repairs until about Labor Day..... See Below
  19. Google " mp4 " and you should be able to download a small program that will play mp4 videos.. This is the one I used -- http://download.cnet.com/MP4-Player/3000-13632_4-10833015.html I was having problems with newer programs and found that Windows and the computer manufacture no longer supported my 13 year old system (%$@%^&)... I bought a new (refurbished) computer thru Wally World for $300 and spent 2 weeks tranferring my old data ... Stopped all my problems...
  20. For those of you who are inflicted with the same problem as me-- ( CRS ) Here is a Word document with all the boats posted so far... See page 6....
  21. Mine is a '99 Ranger "Fisherman Series" ( AKA-walleye boat ) with a 175 Merc... The dog has passed on but, the wife is still my best fishing pardner... She don't, really, like to go fishing but, LOVES to go catching !!!!!
  22. Can only be one of four things... 1. motor is not hot enough to open thermostat.. ( wrong thermostat).. 2. New impeller broke.. 3. Bad "new?" thermostat.. 4. Small "critter" has plugged up the pee hole/tube.. I worked in small motor repair shop 40+ years ago... But, we didn't have computer controlled motors then, So--take what I say at your own risk....
  23. X2 on the "short cookout & meet/greet"... Bring boats, boats can be ID at greater distance than faces...
  24. I like your posts....
