Underwater Cameras???
chrismackmn replied to BassFisherman's question in Equipment-Expert Information*
i got the menard's fish cam too. if you read the manual, it is actually an aqua-view with a different shell. for less then 75 bucks, it was a nice deal. I actually used it last weekend to set the hook on some fish. I kept having light biters spit out the bait so I dropped the cam down and hooked it when I saw they had it. plus I was able to see when they came in and how they reacted to jigging, just leaving it and different presentations. -
nothing a nice new hummingbird wouldn't fix.

I just got a 500 lb capacity hitch carrier from Harbor Freight for 59 bucks. I am gonna put a 5/8 piece of board on it and strap down my house. I think it should work ok. thoughts? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=92655

what kinda gps/depth finder do you have? I converted my big lowrance into a portable gps with a genz box and battery. If I can do it with that, it can be done with any gps.

I have used a sunflower, little buddy and big buddy. The little buddy is ok for anything over 20 degrees. If it gets any colder and you may be chilled. A sunflower can crank out the heat but I have many burn holes in my jacket from it. The big buddy really gets the job done. It is small enough to put in one corner of a yukon and heats it well below zero. 99 bucks is a good price and I would recommend it.

Head over to Northern Tool, they have the whole setup for you.

Agronomist_at_IA, curious but what did he have to say about the hummingbirds?

just from seeing it at the store and talking to the guys at Marine general. and no, they are not trying to sell me anything. I used to work there.

I have an old fl-8 vex that is ok. I wish it had the zoom function but oh well. The marcums are nice, I have used those before. The ones I really like are those new hummingbird ones. Those seem to be way better then anything else out there.

I have a 115 yamaha and love it. Mine seems to have more pop compared to a friend's 115 merc on similar rigs.

call Russ at Marine General in Duluth....he may have one.

Don't get a 4runner...bad on gas and expensive to fix. Check out the Pilots. They get great mileage, last forever and plenty of room.

First time using Power Pro line
chrismackmn replied to manmountain's question in Equipment-Expert Information*
you need to use a mono as a backer or else a piece of electrial tape around the spool works (for spinning). The mono is a better route as it is cheaper then power pro and works well as a backer. another thing, you can't use the regular fisherman's knot. you need to bend the line in half, put it through the eye of the lure, cross the line, bring the lure through the loop and then pull tight. -
buying trolling motor batteries........
chrismackmn replied to james_walleye's question in Equipment-Expert Information*
Northern tool has Interstate batteries. I got the 24 dc for 79 and the 27 dc for 86. -
Juan....it is C. The trick is to buy reels and rods separately or tell her you got it on clearance. I bought 2 new st. croix's last year to pair with the 2 reels I bought earlier. just make sure they are on different cc bills.
