Saw this on another site. I'm totally doing this if my wife gives me the green light. How fun would this be for a kid!?

I have a tester, but I've never really used it before so that will be a learning experience as well. The truck was factory wired with the outlet. I think I will go down the road to the neighbors and see if I can plug into their camper to test the lights. That would at least tell me if problem...

headlights are on :(

great pictures! Thanks for sharing. I've always been fascinated by rod & reel fishing in other countries. Would love to drop a line in some foreign lake with no clue what species are in there. Seems like largemouth bass are universal though, huh?

I just brought home a new to me truck (Toyota Tacoma) that has a 7-prong outlet. My old truck just had the 4-wire flat connection, So I bought a plug adapter for the boat wires that converts it from 4-flat to a 7-prong plug. When I connect it to the truck, the only lights that work on the...

Great job! I took my neighbor kid fishing a few times, and he loved it. It was his first time fishing, first time on a boat, and probably the first time hes ever been to a lake or state park of any kind. (his parents are trash) A couple weeks ago, I noticed their cars hadn't been around for...

We brought our 9 month old out on my tin for the first time on Fathers Day yesterday. 8) He loves splashing in the bath tub and it was pretty hot, so I took along big plastic storage tub and filled it with a couple inches of water for him to splash around in while I was fishing. It also...

Nice. I wish we had perch around here PERIOD.

I believe the world record muskie is from there? Cool area. I was up a few years ago with family, but there was an algea bloom the weekend we were there and fishing was awful.

Not sure if this will help, but I used small pieces of alum. angle bolted together to create a "foot" that can be adjusted to the angle you need.

I had an early 70's Johnson 9.5 that the previous owner had drilled all sorts of vent holes into the cowling. I guess this was why!

The oars alone would be marked at $100 at certain antique stores :D

I've thought about making my own by attaching two eye bolts through my transom and carrying a 7' piece of re-rod.... this is much sexier though. IN

I guess they could have been overloaded with grease and popped, but I doubt it. I only filled them enough to make the blue part barely moveable. The road was a little rough for a ways there, but I had my eyes peeled while driving 10 mph the whole way home and should have been able to spot one...

We rented a large house there with the extended family like 6 years ago and had a great time. I think we found it on https://www.VRBO.com Saved some money by finding a house a couple blocks from the beach. Can't remember where we ate and we didn't do any fishing, sorry. Also check out...

Is all 87 octane gas non-ethanol?

I'll take a look at the piranhas, thanks. Sounds like we are "in the same boat" when it comes to depth finders. I would like to be able to tell weather I'm over a brush pile or a boulder, but don't really care about seeing the fish on the screen.

I had an Eagle Cuda portable fish finder that I used back and forth between my canoe and jon boat. Suction cup mount transducer, and it ran on AA batteries which I only had to replace once a year. I really liked it, but it was misplaced somehow this winter. :oops: Now I'm looking for one that...

I only had about a 15 mile drive, so I just took it slow. I stopped to check them halfway and they wern't hot yet. Looking back, I should have just put some duct tape over them. #-o

I just think it would be a weird thing for someone to steal. I mean they aren't worth THAT much. They could have broke the window in my car and gotten some better loot, and they would have had to have a mallet to get them out. I guess I wouldn't put it past people these days though.
