    Lions and tigers and muskies, oh my!

    Here's link to a fishing report - not mine - of a guy who caught a 57" muskie! And if I'm not mistaken I see a fly rod in the photo. The article doesn't say so but the fisherman in question owns a fly shop. If I ever got a fish on that big I'd have to return to the dock for a change of...

    I'm a Vietnam Era vet, 1970-74. The closest I got was Okinawa from where we flew reconnaissance missions over Vietnam. The celebration of Armistice Day is interesting. It was first designated to remember those who served in the "war to end all wars". I guess they couldn't imagine a more...

    Trailer roller issues....any help apppreciated

    Rich, If the roller can sit directly on the frame you could use this, having to drill new holes for the U-bolts. https://www.easternmarine.com/galvanized-panel-bracket-for-12-trailer-roller-86153 If it needs to be raised or adjustable, maybe you could modify something like this by bending the...

    Second Cobra Escapes.

    What's the deal with keeping cobras? Aren't they very dangerous? Can you de-poison a snake if you insist on keeping one? Snakes give me both the heebies and the jeebies and keeping extremely poisonous ones is beyond me.

    Removing Bench Seats & Adding Front & Rear Decks

    To keep it from sinking to the bottom should it get swamped. You wouldn't like that. If you're a novice it would really be worth your time doing a lot of reading here. Better to learn from other's mistakes than make your own - particularly when it comes to watching your boat sinking to the...

    2016 Honda 20 hp

    I have a Merc with electric start and T&T. Like Johnny said...electric start, well, it's pretty easy to push a button. The T&T is the best. Being able to trim the motor on the fly is awesome and in the heavy weeds I typically fish I can raise the prop and drift or pole the boat without hanging...

    Hand-held depth finders

    I'm thinking of getting some kind of depth finder for my kayak. I just want to know how deep the water is. Anybody know anything about these? I'd have to figure a way to attach the transducer to the hull. There are also wireless versions...

    REMOVING BENCH SEATS ON SEMI V

    This comes up about every other week. There are lots of posts on this question that don't necessarily agree. You should search "removing bench seats" or "removing seats". People tend to believe what they want.

    Buying a used motor article for the homepage

    I am no mechanic but know not to be satisfied with the seller who says "it ran fine the last time I used it...10 years ago".

    1954 12' Lifetime Aluminum Boat build

    Reynolds is a maker of aluminum and as such may have been promoting the virtues of boats made of aluminum. Many companies manufacturing raw materials will advertise products made by them so it's possible the above ad was not selling Reynolds boats but rather boats made of Reynolds aluminum. It...

    Botswana 2072 160HP Outback

    I'm going to just go ahead and say it, I've never had my boat anywhere close to an elephant! Not even on the hemisphere. Cool on all accounts.

    95 days to go or should I say 10 now

    There's a fine line between torturing yourself and steeling yourself for the final sprint to the finish. I was recently going through some stuff and found my "short calendar" from my service days. I made a little sign that I could write how many days left with a grease pencil so it could be...

    1957 Lone Star V hull

    BeerMe, Once you've been on the forum for a while you'll see that patterns develop on posts/responses to posts. In the summer most are busy fishing or doing other things and are less likely to be reading or posting. Also, lots of people are probably posting from their work computers during the...
