    St Croix rod deal

    I was going to buy a St Croix Avid 6'6" 1 piece rod (ML fast tip)at BPS for $160. For the heck of it I called "Sportsman's Warehouse". They had the exact rod that I was looking for at a price of $109. I've searched all over and nothing even comes close that price. I realize they closed a...

    Lake Mead 11/7/09

    My wife and I spent a beautiful day on Echo Bay area with no wind and upper seventies temps. There were fish showing at every point but not much luck hooking. It was well worth the time spent on a wonderful day on the lake with my wife. Here's one striper, err THE one we caught on a 5" storm...

    New fishfinder for $350

    Can anyone give any recommendations on a sonar unit for $350 or less? I have a handheld GPS so I don't need that. Thanks James

    SeaCharter 642C DF iGPS Fishfinder/GPS Chartplotter?

    Hello, I'm looking at a SeaCharter 642C sonar/plotter and it looks to be a great finder for the price. The peak to peak power is 4000, which looks pretty good. The only thing that may be questionable is the cone angles of the dual frequency 50/200 transducer, since I fish shallower lakes...

    Maiden Voyage

    I took my "new to me" Mirrocraft Deep Fisherman out today for the first time since I bought it. It ran great, but I need to tweak the low speed adjustment a little. No leaks at all and hauls the mail with the 25hp Evinrude. The best part is my wife and I had no "issues" at the ramp :D...

    Busy frustrating weekend

    I've had a busy week refinishing my trailer and all the fun that goes with that. Then I go to change my water pump on my "81" 25 hp hp Evinrude and all goes well other than no water coming out the tell tale :x It worked fine before I got my grubby mitts on it, though the old impeller was...

    Carlisle 530-12 trailer tires?

    I'm planning on buying new trailer tires, and Walmart has a tire/wheel combo for $60. This seems like a good deal but I've heard some bad things about Carlisle tires. I attribute this to most of the trailer tires on the road are Carlisles, so therefore more complaints. These will be pulling a...

    My new boat.

    I just bought a "83" Mirrocraft Deep Fisherman 14ft with an "81" Evinrude 25hp. The cowl on the motor is/was rotting away from the desert sun. I roughly applied some fiberglass and resin for now till it cures and I get back from vacation. The priorities are impeller change, wheel bearings...

    New to forum, rust question.

    Hello, I'm picking up this boat/motor and trailer tomorrow for $850. =D> One thing that needs to be done is a trailer refinish. Has anyone used a rust converter product or Naval Jelly to remove the rust before priming and painting? It sounds cheaper and easier than sandblasting.

    Repairing a Evinrude Cowl

    Hello, this is my first post as I'll take possession of an "83" Mirrocraft Deep Fisherman tomorrow. It has a 25 horse Evinrude that the cowl looks as if it's rotting away on top :( Can I use Bondo on the fiberglass cowl and refinish it?. Thanks James
