Using a media like glass bead is probably best, as sand can really pit up aluminum. I have a small sandblasting rig for my other hobby, but never used it on a boat. I imagine it would take a very long time to do a whole boat with it. The pros use much larger nozzles with lots of air available...

That's if you want to fish in circles :P . I had tried putting a transom mount on the side, but closer to the bow then that, and it pulled the boat hard to one side. I could correct for it, but lost a lot of speed trying to go straight. Matt

I'm told Columbus day weekend, the weekend after this one, is the busiest. On Saturday morning, we were on the bank at about 5am. We had rigged up and were waiting for it to get lighter, when two guys walked right through our group into the water, to the spots right in front of us where we...

Sorry I haven't been on the site lately. I have not been fishing for quite a while. I hope everyone is well. A few weeks ago I went up to NY for Salmon with a friend from high school. This was my second year going. I think it was his 5th. We drove up Friday night after work. Got up...

Good to see you guys finding some bass. I gave up!

I had that same boat as well. I put a front deck on, but not on top of the seats. I sat it down in between the front/middle.

Congrads Andy! I couldn't even catch a dink this weekend.

Good catchin'. I've been there 3 times so far this year with no luck, although I did meet a guy who was catching dinks on a very small Rapala lure before it got warm. Matt

I'm glad it didn't do any damage there. I, personally, hope I see a tornado at some point in my life....but from a safe vantage point (like not coming towards me or my house) Matt

Could you have entered in a free contest at a fishing expo or something like that? You know, the little 3x5 pieces of paper you write your info on and slide in the box.

Yes - I just got back to it last night. I flipped the drag plate over, and placed the washers the correct way. All is well. Thank you!

I'll take 100, Alex.

I'm glad you made it to the van! I was stuck in my truck in the Giant parking lot when the rain/hail hit. I was about to go in when it started. I imagine getting pelted with that would have hurt.

I've lost 3 Rat-l-traps out there in 2 weeks, so if you find one, there is a good chance it's mine!

Nick, Thanks! I found a doc on Shimano's site that shows that, and looking at those pictures, I think I may have also installed the top drag plate upside down.

Notice how they don't call it global warming any more, because due to the weather, that just doesn't make sense. Now it's "Climate Change".

They were running ads for this last night on Discovery during a Dirty Jobs marathon. I think it was April 15th at 10pm. I thought it looked interesting. Oh, and it's called "Pitchmen". We're also getting new seasons of Deadliest Catch & Mythbusters in April. Yea, I'm a TV junkie...

I headed out to a couple local spots today. One fish, on about the 4th cast of the day, then nothing else. Got him on a lipless crank, close to the shore. Funny thing is, I'm pretty sure I had hooked the same fish last week, but my line broke right at the shore. Same spot, same lure, same...

Andy, I can crank the drag all the way down, but it still slips. NickK, I'll have to look into that - I didn't realize there was a certain orientation. Matt
