Actually, if you go to the Fishing Article tab on the left of the site page under the Boat maintanance section it will give you a pretty good idea of what you are getting into Hope this helps

English = Bellhaven Mexican= Dox XX dark German= Hacker Pshoerr (really good weisen beer) American= Cowboy kool aid (Coors Lt) The new Schlitz isn't bad Cincinnati= Hudy Delight

Congrats. I would take those in a tourney any day. I think I speak for everyone " Nice job to your Dad" Father and son in a tourney? Good Times.........

The extreme is a solid reel for the price. I own two and have had no issues. It definately isn't the best of the line but it gets the job done. I am right handed and also like the lefty rig on a baitcaster, but only if I am pitchin and flippin. i gotta admit it feels a bit weird reeling the lefty baitcaster but I have better feel holding the rod in my right hand. With spinnerbaits and cranks I prefer the right handed crank..

Go check out Hicks Outdoors in Clio, just up the road from you on Linden across from Menards. Ask for Ryan or Dan. If they don't have one there you are looking for they can order you one at no charge. Great store, excellent guest service

Maybe my carpet doesn't look so bad after all

Anybody from Michigan ever fish Fletchers Floodwater near Hillman? I hear they have some hogs in there and thinking of heading there this weekend or next. I could use any pointers out there

I've got a nice set of Pings Maybe it'll help my game

How much are they asking for this model? I have an Eagle 500c. Not a complaint except I wish it had the fish finder feature instead of just the GPS.

Hey all, I have been reading post about the do it yourself recarpeting and frankly, I don't think i have the time or patience to do it myself. Anybody know what the cost is to recarpet a boat? Its a 96 Stratos 18ft. Carpet isn't terrible by any means, just fading and getting matted down. I just thought new carpet would really sharpen it up.

If you are going to paint I would recommend something like Gorilla lining. It is slip resistent, cuts down on noise and is strong like bull.

Well said....... The best memories I have of my grandfather and dad all revolve around a lake and fishing. I hope its as contagious as swine flu.....

I am currently looking to purchase a carrot stix rod. I have heard mixed reviews. Some have said that they broke which I found out was a production mistake, spined incorrectly. It was between these or the Shimano although I am not a big fan of the foam handle on the shimano. Any thoughts?

Yeah please post a report on the Dancin EEL. Mr. Dance seems to do well with them in loaded ponds but I am curious to see how they do on actual fish.

Those fish had W.A.L.L written all over themselves. NICE!

I decided to forego the Opener and went for walleyes on the Saginaw river Sunday. Limited out in the rain AND I did catch a dink Smallmouth. Going out in ten minutes to Holloway. A cold day fishing is STILL better than working.....

1996 Stratos 150 Johnson also 96 54lb Evinrude trolling motot (want a new one) Lowrance electronics 61 on the gps

Exactly, My buddy has a Yamaha and I can't believe how quiet it is. We were running full out and having a conversation without raising our voice.

I have a 96 Stratos with a 150 Johnson. Runs like a top, however, last year one of the seals busted on the fuel pump. When the mixture leaked out it was spraying oilmixture all over the motor causing the smoke. It was like a smoke bomb every time i started her up. $5.oo part. Now she purrs. sucks gas but purrss

Actually, i believe NBAA is $35 before May1, then it goes up a bit. Tourneys start beginning of June.

I just oredered some. They give you a free extra bottle and a KVD line conditioner. i can't wait to try it on my Stratos!!!!

I am new to the site and love the information posted. I fish primarily the Oakland county and Genesee county area. Just wondering how everyone has been doing on these lakes? I went out on Mott Lake over the weekend and the smallmouth were on fire! Thanks for the info folks.

That looks great! Did you get a bid on how much to have it done? I have a 96 Stratos that I am looking to recarpet and don't know if i have the time or the patience to do it myself

Hi Shawn. I'm also new to the site and am in your area. kearsley area. There is definately some good info on this site. Good luck this year
