jiggin pig

I am looking at buying two of these rod holders for the downrigger rods. I was wondering if they are a good choice or not. I was either looking at the Multi-Lok rod holder or the standard. I am wondering what you would pick. I am new to this and am rigging my boat up for a trip in a week here. thanks

I will try the optis, the cabelas bearing swivels weren't cutting it. thanks

We had the reels spooled at Cabela's, so I hope they were done correctly. We were using the fish shaped flasher. Next to the boat it appeared that the swivel was spinning fine, but who knows. I think I am going to go out and try a different brand of barrel swivels. thanks for the advise.

Ok, we were out this last weekend and I noticed alot of line twisting with the line. It was so bad the line would twist coming off the reel. My question is what swivels or snaps do people use. I have been using the Cabelas deluxe coastlocks. I don't know what the issue would be. They seemed like a good bearing swivel. Any ideas. I was running spoons with dipsy's and just a plain spoon and j-plug off a rigger. Thanks

Is there any programs out there to put on a laptop so I can log or save my coordinates. I would like to view it on a computer screen and edit some if possible. Thanks for any assistance.

cliffy I about cried I was laughing so hard at your correction about it being a machine. Been there seen that. Deadeye to answer your question about DWI and DUI, DWI is driving while intoxicated, which would be used for alcohol. DUI is driving under the influence of either alcohol or drugs. You know they have to be so exact with how they word things.

This is way off the topic, but Rebeleye that is a funny avitar. I was reading the post and just began to laugh. My wife thought I was drunk. Thanks for the good laugh.

mr. F Pike I know you don't you use that shack for fishing. Why don't you just let me use it and I will make sure it is used properly.

After the season is over I clean my canvas and remove it from the sled and poles. I then place it in a large rubbermaid container. No problems with them at all. I put the tote in the sled and attach to garage ceiling. Clean and easy and always works

Where is all the ice and portables. Looks nice though

Yeah, I just got back to the computer today. Yep more honey to do lists, which are ok. A buddy called me on Tuesday morning and said he was on about 5 inches of ice and fishing at that time. I rolled over in bed and looked at the wife, the first thing out of her mouth is, your not going fishing. I began to laugh, because she knew instantly. She like to go fishing and I would be more than happy to take her, but she is on modified bed rest. I will be getting out around here after all the honey to do lists are done. Dtro thanks for the heads up. I found a few videos on the net that I watched that cured the bug for ohh about an hour. I think I'm going to put the kiddie pool out in the back yard, let if freeze over and fish on that for the winter. I can't wait for the little package to arrive, but all this excitement is killing me. I need to go and relax (on the ice). thanks again guys

Ok to make this short and sweet. My wife is pregnant and I will not be able to make any trips up north this year, or get out in this area. I am wondering if anybody would be willing to post some good ole pictures or videos of ice fishing this year. I just need to see something. I stopped down at the docks at Baypoint and watched for a little bit, but then I got the telephone call to return home. Don't get me wrong I am excited for the new package, I just want to get out and fish to. Thanks

I simply love the last one. classic

My lab doing his favorite activity. All I know is he is thinking here I come, look out.

I see says the blind man who picks up the shotgun and a box of clay pigeons. Thanks for the help. now time to go find them.

How would I go about and getting the hummingbirds wings to look like there stopped. WHere you can actually see them. I tried a Faster ISO like 800. then I tried messing with the I think it was F stop. I don't remember. just looking for a couple of hints in that department. I have a lot of trouble with the birds. thanks in advance

just a fyi on the spray on bedliner. That stuff is heavy. Don't know if your worried about weight or not, but check out to see how much weight it will add on. just my 2 cents, not worth to much

There is a shop in red wing that sells them. I will say one thing, they are quick. I ride a donor bike and that thing was still quick. I was quite suprised by the take off. Still ugly though

I truly love the second photo. It looks to me that he is going for a side arm. Its either that or the three point tackle stance. nice shots. lmao

Yeah, I will say the wife was having a good time listening to me go through the service manual. In due time I will get it. thanks again

yeah, to find out that was a online offer. I ended up going to national camera in burnsville. I got my wife the elan 7e there a while back and they were good to me then.

Well where to begin. After seeing all the sweet pictures in this forum. I decided and went through with, and bought my wife (and me) the Rebel XSI. This digital thing is completely new to me and her, so I will be looking for some advise or articles to read in the near future. That is when I figure out how to turn it on. Its like a little nuclear reactor. I just want to say thanks to you guys who post good infomation what what you think or what you have dealt with, it made the purchase easier. thanks again. there will be pictures soon to follow.

Eagle, how do you like the xsi. I am looking at getting it also. just trying to get a little feed back from someone that just bought it. My only other question would be what lens would you HAVE to have with in price reason. I know it comes with a 18mm - 55mm IS lens.

I am not a big fan of Ritz, but they have a sweet deal on the Canon EOS Rebel XSi Digital SLR Camera w/EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Image Stabilizer Lens. All that for 799.99. I would say that is one of the better deals I have seen for this camera and lens package. I am thinking of heading down that and getting the wife a new gift. I already got her bird houses, bird seed, and a new bird book. Now to replace the old film camera for this one. I am not a pro when it comes to cameras, but I believe this would suit us just fine.
