    10 HP restriction lakes?

    I live in Zion, IL. We are not allowed to park anything on the lawn. 2 winters ago I wanted to clear up some room in the back parking off the alley. I moved my flatbed trailer across the backyard to a sidewalk and put one tire on the sidewalk and the other was on the grass. I received a written...

    SCREWED

    We have a house in Rockport, Texas. Hurricane Harvey made landfall there a few years back. When we got back in the area after being evacuated, there were so many roofing/siding experts popping up it was sickening. I was a lucky one. My main roof only lost a couple shingles. I lost the entire...

    Towing with outboard

    I would tend to agree with you about the weight being centered over the transom IF, there was no uppy-downy play. As the motor bounces up and down, it will also rock front and back and pull on the transom. That's where the transom saver comes in. It stops that rocking and wrenching action on the...

    Fishing License

    I'm a VA rated disabled veteran. Illinois doesn't require me to get a hunting or fishing license. I believe any addendums to the hunting license are required. When I went down to Texas I inquired about any discount they had for disabled vets. They gave me a free Super Combo license. With it I...

    How to Clean Oxidized Portions of an Aluminum Hull?

    They oxide naturally, super shiny doesnt make it faster or handle better. I leave mine oxidized.

    Trailer upgrades……

    My trailer is a 2007. 5 years after I bought it, I had to replace the boards. I opted to use glide slicks instead of carpet. 2 years ago I had to replace the boards again. Mostly because wood rotted where the lag bolts were. I'm okay with that life span

    V-Boat to Flats Skiff Conversion

    Awesome work. Maybe I'll see you on the flats when I move down to Ingleside next fall.

    Anyone fish for all species including panfish?

    I have never really targeted bass. I added salmon fishing gear to include 4 gunnel mounted rod holders and a board with 2 down rigger mounted on it to my Tracker ProTeam 190TX so I could run 6 rods on Lake Michigan for Coho and King Salmon. I also like to go to the Illinois Chain O' Lakes and...

    Forum changes you are seeing.

    Since Jim promised I could borrow the Tin Boat private jet to fly to Texas this Christmas season, will I still be able to do that now?

    Security cameras

    But just telling me that I MUST surrender the data is different than asking for it.

    Security cameras

    Let them try.

    Security cameras

    Everything I've read says police can request the data but you can refuse to give it to them if they have no warrant. The decision to not give them the data isn't yours to make if the data is stored in the manufacturer's cloud. Then the manufacturer has the say so on turning over the data. The...

    Security cameras

    I would ask, what is your intended use for the camera? Something for front door security would be totally different than for monitoring backyard activity? My friend bought a 4 camera wired system from Best Buy a couple years ago and it came with a monitor and hard drive for storing the data. I...

    Work is kicking my butt

    I live by the 5 second rule: If it hits the floor for less than 5 seconds, it's still safe to eat. If I said something and if within 5 seconds my wife doesn't get spun up, my filterless comment is socially acceptable. It takes me 5 seconds to stand up. I have to pause for 5 seconds after...

    Growing / Raising Bait?

    Seems to me I remember this being posted previously and yet here you are with just one post to your name. A post that has nothing to do with this thread. SPAM I think

    Growing / Raising Bait?

    Probably illegal to have a galvanized bucket in your boat too.
