I have a couple of the Pfleuger Presidents and think you will like them, they are smooth and function flawlessly. I am totally in agreement with you on the Long Creek deal, we paid for that ramp, I have no problem with him getting day use fees if you come into the park to picnic or swim and camping fees as they are doing upkeep on property. It just seems kind of a crap deal to be charging fees to launch on a corp built ramp. I know personally of 3 extended Mercury warranties that were paid for at the Nitro dealer that were never registered or filed with Mercury. Quick pocket line of salesman and dealership. I also dislike the tourist trap issues, I get that it is a neat sight and it is truly art, But I really dislike having to wade through dozens of people taking pictures to find dozens of substandard baits and none of the name brand quality that I truly am looking for sold by knowledgeable sales people. instead you find a guy who has seen a fish in the freezer section at walmart selling tackle. they should put dedicated help in those niche areas and dedicated check outs and entrance and exits for purchasers rather than shoppers.

I FIGURE HE WILL DO THE SAME THING HE HAS DONE TO HIS SPRINGFIELD STORE, TURN IT INTO TO TOURIST TRAP WALMART, HAVING WOMENS UNDERWEAR, CROCS SANDLES IN 85 COLORS AND QUIT SELLING ALL THE STUFF THAT MADE HIM ALL THE MONEY HE NOW HAS TO WASTE. WHILE WE START SHOPPING AT TACKLE WAREHOUSE TO GET THE STUFF WE REALLY WANT. ANHEUSER BUSCH INBEV NOW OWNS MILLER BREWING, BASS PRO OWNS RANGER AND CABELAS, IS NOTHING SACRED ANYMORE.

After having spent the last 3 years mentoring and coaching a fairly successful team of high school anglers I can tell you this is a great outlet for the kids to do something other than play video games and twitter and stare at a computer on facebook. I had the pleasure of starting fishing with these 2 boys when they were 12, and for the last 6 years have spent countless hours teaching and learning from them, they helped me be distracted and kept me from doing some destructive things at a time in my life that could have not gone so well due to having to be available to coach and fish with these young men. One of whom is at boot camp now and will be a marine, the other will be starting college in January. One of my anglers will make a living fishing either as a guide or on the circuit he has the drive and the ability to do so, but a fishing career is not for everyone just like pro football is not for every kids who suited up on Friday night to battle the cross town rivals. I can say for a fact that I have witness more sportsmanship and ethics from more kids fishing these circuits than in any other sport, While at a weight in on a Saturday of a 2 day tourney I saw kids who were going out the next day to fish sharing information and helping kids they were trying to beat ALL IN HOPES OF EVERYONE DOING WELL AND CATCHING FISH. I happen to not have a new shiny glitter rig, mine is an 87 but we were able to stand proud and catch fish with the best 50k glitter ride, just to brag a little, for the 3 seasons that there has been high school bass tournament in Missouri those young men have finished all three of the season in the top 4 teams. Yes a boat is an advantage at times but if you aint in the right spot you aint gonna catch fish, the boat is a tool plain and simple. We never had fist fights or brawls or throwing stuff and insults at other anglers just people having a great time in the outdoors. So after spending lots of days watching the boys fish and not being able to fish, baking in the son, freezing in the snow, beating my body up on waves so they could fish, worth every penny and hour spent. Thanks to the Young Men for all the taught me. TR.

Those corporate penny pinchers at the top just don't seem to understand the problems of the common fishing man.

There is a setting in the menu for navigation mode, I think, that makes running easier to see your position. Look in manual, thought mine had a problem as well. I am at work not by unit or I would tell you how to correct it. When I get home I will locate info and post for you.

Am inquiring as to the proper gauge wiring that would be needed to handle 2 humminbird units, 798 and 998, 2 other humminbird 788 and 1198. They will be wired direct to the battery running from the stern of the boat to the bow( 2 units ), and from the stern to the steering console ( 2 units ) in separate runs to each location. They will be fused but not sure on amperage to use thinking 3 or 5 amp. Was thinking 16ga wire would handle it but wanted some input. The manual says 18ga and 3 amp, but I am running 2 units and the distance in an 18 foot boat was wondering if the heavier wire would be a better choice. Thanks for the help. TR.

I am interested, even though button sticks. make an offer for both and lets talk.

I saw a 5500c Black Ambassador reel you had in another picture. Is it for sale also? Could you send more pictures of it as well and a price?

What payment methods do you accept?

Would you happen to have some pictures of the reel??

I am interested if you still have it. 417-880-7466 live in NIxa would pick up/ Timmy

do you haul any with you on the road, I would come down and pick it up from Yall.

Yes you are correct cars do run just fine on ethanol fuel, but your car very rarely if ever sits for weeks or maybe a month at time and it is not 2 stroke. Ethanol fuel it self is not the problem, Phase separation and water absorbsion are the culprits in 2 stroke engines that require oil in the fuel to oil your cylinders. Phase separated fuel will smell and look totally different than any Gas you have ever been around. Stations fuel can separate in the tanks even very busy stations, the only way to salvage separated fuel is to add multiple gallons of isopropal alcohol to the tank and aggitate till it absorbs the water were it can be burned thus increasing the acohol percentage. If you want to know why I know this is because i worked for a company that built and repaired fuel station equipment and we got regular calls to fix separated fuel and a station will spend some money to not loose 3000 gallons of fuel. For you old timers remember HEET, if you ever looked at the ingreidients Alcohol It fixes water in fuel. Ethanol bad for 2 strokes and anything that sits for extended periods of time and anything carburated.

In years past you could buy the excess rods on your website, I no longer see that feature. am i looking inthe wrong place?

For a bass boat boat prop there is no one better, than John. He will get you exactly what you need.

I had the priviledge of taking 2 high school student to a tournament at Lake of the Ozarks on March 28. It was cold rainy snowing and we had a blast. The tourney had 82 boats registered, so If the fishing was aging when have you seen an adult tournament with that kind of entries.

I think I'm losing cylinder at least 1 boat usually runs 60 miles hour and 5900 rpm easily but only got 47 mile an hour and a little under 5000 at wide open throttle very hard to plane off

Is there a way to test switch boxes on a mercury 175 carbureted engine

Yes he did, Dave told me mine shipped today, so Champ you be nice to Dave. His time from order to ship is faster than a Nascar pit crew. I cant wait to try this out with the proper equipment. Thanks Dave.

Yea Kinda sounded better in your head, but I agree that is how I throw them and twitch them to the side it it easier for me to get the action and I can see the line easier, My hookset is a sweep motion and I believe I miss less fish that way.

I am a fan of the prescription Oakley line of lenses. They seem to be the best at no distortion on wrap around lens prescription sunglasses. I buy a pair about every 4 years due to my eyes changing more than anything. They are pricey but I think worth every penny and they last me a long time so its not so bad.

thanks

Ok, What channel are you guys watching this show on I have looked and cannot find it . HELP ME PLEASE. Thanks
