    Jetboatin with the fishes at the park

    Here's the thread that started it all for the guys I know. https://crawlcanada.com/forum/showthr...hlight=jetboat It's an old thread so it's missing a bunch of pics. But if you search *NQD (need the * cuz you can't search for 3 letter words) or just look around the "On The Pond" section on that...

    Jetboatin with the fishes at the park

    Not too sure what kind it is, the signs in the park say they have varieties of salmon and trout in there.

    Jetboatin with the fishes at the park

    Here's a quick underwater video I took trying to see the fish. Only problem I've found with this camera is that it's really hard to see the screen when its in the water. But it turned out ok. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjbULltPCig

    Jetboatin with the fishes at the park

    Here's the first vid to be ready, not the first of the day. And I didn't even think to wear shorts and bring the flip flops. Next time they will be first on the list. Had to take off the shoes and roll up the jeans for a few rescues from the rocks. Until the vid when I flipped it, it was an...

    Jetboatin with the fishes at the park

    Took the jetboat out with my newly made camera deck for it's maiden voyage today. It worked out pretty good. I'm gonna have to work on something to keep the camera from turning from an impact and also need to work on sealing the water out a bit more. I flipped it almost upside down and took on...

    On-board NQD Jetboat cam

    Camera deck is almost complete. Last night I put the bolt in the deck and put the camera on only to find out that Fuji put the mounting threads in crooked on this camera. So I took it back out and put double sided tape under one side on each flat washer and put it together so it would hold the...

    On-board NQD Jetboat cam

    Ok here's the first vid with the camera mounted. I think it turned out pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgVnLPcALj0 This is the same run as the first vid but from the shore cam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHbXY-JiN_g Ok, here's the last vid. I was hoping for a more stable view...

    On-board NQD Jetboat cam

    Just got back from a week long camping trip and it was pretty sweet. It was crazy windy on the lake for most of the week which meant no jetboat action. It seemed everytime the water was calm and I got the boat ready the wind picked up and brought the big waves. Then finally the day before we...

    Interference from trolling motor on fishfinder???

    Excellent. Lots of good info. Sounds like I should be ok. Another thing just crossed my mind. What should I do with the extra transducer cable? Right now its all just bunched up under my rear seat. Should I just wrap it up neatly in a small bundle (like how it came in the box) and zap strap it...

    Interference from trolling motor on fishfinder???

    I'm headin fishing for a week in a few days and it will be the first time using my new trolling motor and fishfinder. I have a Minn Kota Traxxis 45lb with Maximizer and an Eagle Fisheasy 245 DS fishfinder freshly installed in my 12' Lowe. I'm just reading through the manual for the motor and it...

    Advice for a trolling motor?

    Just got back the other day with my new Traxxis 45lb motor. I got a smokin deal on it and customs didn't even hassle me about it. Sweet! I got it from Valley Sports & More in Burlington, Washington. It's an online store he runs out of his house. Very nice guy, very good deals.

    Eagle Fisheasy 245 DS Fishfinder

    Me and my Dad were looking around at the fishing trade show last weekend. I was looking at this fishfinder cause the price was pretty good but wasn't gonna buy one until I found a trolling motor first. So my Dad bought it for my wifes birthday present even though she was talking right before we...

    Advice for a trolling motor?

    In a couple weekends I'm staying down in Tulalip for the weekend for my wifes birthday and on the way back I'm picking up a Traxxis 45. I just paid for it, now I just got to pick it up. I can't wait.

    I started the boat on fire.

    I use nothing smaller than 12ga wire when installing any kind of lights on the forklifts I work on. Nice durable wire and can transfer enough power for a spotlight and not get hot.
