Folks with a Powerdrive bowmount how did you route the transducer cable?
I just don't like the way you can't zip tie it along the shaft.

I'll take any tips I can get. 8)

I've got an old silver/black Striker Jr. The flash, wobble and side to side on that thing is unbeleivable.

But favorite lures are ones that catch fish. I saw nothing the only time I used it last weekend in IN. I won't give up on it yet.

Are speared fish supposed to be taken at legal size for hook and line? If so I wonder how many are speared and aren't actualy legal.

If outright banning spearing isn't possible and speared fish ARE supposed to be of "legal size", then I say we raise the limit on lakes that don't have a spearing ban ...

Absolutely.
I'm in a situation that requires me to maximize my time on the water. Which means my batteries will be charged, and everything ready to go at anytime. That way if a front is moving in I'll hit one ...

It's funny that when I was thinking of joining M/I I KNEW that there was someone who felt they were not getting anything in return....


I've got a quick run down of costs for the SCCA (sports car club of america). I used to own a car I competed with in SCCA solo events, and selling it freed up time ...

I joined MMA at the Milwaukee Musky Expo. That was a few weeks ago. They mentioned it might take 4-6 weeks for the first Muskie mag to show up, but I've not received 'anything' yet.

Which is fine as that will take some time to process etc.

I was wondering if I can gain access to the other member ...

Anyone have a recommended reel repair shop/person?

I've got two reels with problems. Both 5500 C3's.
One when you push in the button hard it won't reingage. You've got to keep trying to coax it to engage.

The second if you stop the handle very abrubtly makes a clicking noise similar to the bigger ...

The OH lakes are what I had in mind.

I guess Pymatuning has a 10hp limit, yet is pretty darn big.
Leesville and it seems like another had a 10hp limit. I'd like to check out these lakes this year.

With only a 6hp motor that I can operate that would shure make for a long day of fishing on such a ...

On lakes with HP restrictions, is it kosher to only use the small kicker (assuming that fits withen the HP limit)?
Or is it a matter of not being able to even use a boat that has a higher HP engine on it?

So what should I expect when going? I've never been to this event, as I'm a new member. Guys bring their families? We are all (wife and son too) members now, but I don't know what to expect.

Actually Vermillion sounds like a pretty good idea. Closer, all in US, smaller, and I've read some good things about it.

I'll look into it more. I'm also considering the eagle river chain in WI, but think that won't be as good fishing or picture esque' as the others.

I got back earlier today. I went early on Fri and spent some time there Fri afternoon.

A little small for the drive, but I just felt like going. My first show.
Picked up a decent deal on a 5600C4. $80 ish from Rollie and Helens. Came with a reel fill of Stren superbraid or Spider Wire Stealth. I ...

WOW the rocks are 'that' bad huh. That makes me nervous. I just bought this boat I don't want to tear it up.

As far as equipment, my boat is a Tracker Pro Guide V16. 40lb thrust front trolling motor, 50hp 2 stroke, and by then I'll have either a 5, 6, or 8hp kicker on the boat.

Maybe if I could ...

I'm going on a vacation this summer and am thinking lake of the woods.

Question is can I make a trip there and have a good shot at numbers, and big fish having never fished it? And Probably not having a guide.

What is required for entry to Canada? I've heard that you need a passport now.

That engine is definately a Mercury engine. They just had Tracker on the cowling ON tracker boats. I beleive if you can find a 98 Merc engine cowling you can just add that on and it won't say tracker anymore.

My guess is that because of this instance (hundreds or thousands of others) Tracker boat ...
