Hi Jon, just curious, if a person were to take out a home equity loan, what can you actually write off. Can you right off all the interest you pay, or can you only write off home improvements with receipts? Thanks in advance for the advice.

I guess I am curious as to what some people on the site see as ok for advancements in technology and somethings they consider not ok. I respect your opinion of let's just fish with a hook and line, but I am curious about one thing. You are on your computer and reading all these posts about great new and old fishing ideas. I for one believe that the internet is an advancement on old technology. So if I get this right, it is ok to go on to the internet and get any and all information related to improving your fishing, but you do not like the idea of dropping some weeds down a hole to hopefully improve your fishing chances. Again, I am not trying to disrespect your views at all, I just don't quite understand what technology is ok and what isn't.

I have heard a rumor, "only a rumor", that the new aqua view quad's made a change to their cameras. The rumor is that you can no longer move the camera's up or down etc. With the 4 cameras being in a fixed position, I would no longer be interested in this. Again, I do not know this for a fact, but was told by a fairly reliable source.

Just read on the ClementsonAccessOnRainyRiver Resort site that there is 4" of ice at Four Mile Bay on Lake of the Woods. Morris Point has 2". The resort is thinking of putting out houses this weekend. You can check out their HSOforum if you don't believe me. What are everybody's thoughts?

Ok, here is the question. What is the one thing you take to deer camp that no one else would think of? Could be food, certain clothes, or gadgets. For myself, as sick as it sounds, it is pickled gizzards. That and a frosty beer, heaven!

If it were up to me, I would book a trip at the end of December or first part of January. Can't beat the fishing at that time of year and the ice should be decent by then. Good luck to you.

I hate people that fish on top of you on the lake. Sorry, it is not a nice name, but I call mine "Phuque Yew".

Hi Valv, or anyone else who may help. I recently purchased an 1981 16' deep v Starcraft. I picked up the boat with the thought of getting a 25HP motor and a trailer for this later. Well I found out it would be smarter to buy the whole package instead of piecing together, as it would probably be cheaper. Anyway, my question to you or anyone else is this, the boat has brackets going from the side to the seat tops. These brackets were riveted in. The problem that I have is there are about 5-6 rivets missing. The person who had the boat must have let it go for a while as the rivet holes are now rounded out and oversized. I was just going to weld the holes shut and redrill, however the seat is filled with styrafoam. Will this melt the styrafoam or is there a better way to fix this? Thanks for the time.

I used my Scout on Memorial Weekend in Alexandria area. It was 10 PM and I dropped my camera under the dock. With the infrared lights I could clearly make out a pop can on the bottom. I measured it the next day, and it was 8 feet away. I was impressed with that.

If you want a good, cheap camera, I would go with the Scout. For the price you pay, I don't know if you can get better clarity and value. Just my opinion.

Call twin city outboard in Shakopee. They will probably have it.

Benny, how do you know it needs a tranny flush? Is the tranny slipping or something out of wack with it? I know somebody that would take it but I do not want to change tranny for them if that is bad. If nothing is wrong with, I will probably take it.

My personal opinion is that you are better off tying a hook directly to the line any time you can. I feel, again this is my own opinion, that you get a more sensitive feel without the swivel. Also, with the swivel, you have 2 seperate knots and tying directly you only have 1. I feel the more knots, the odds go up that something could go wrong. It takes me 30 seconds to switch hooks on a clevice whereas it may take a minute to a minute and a half to tie a new hook on. That little of time to me is worth it.

Thanks Chuck. I have to have a long shaft. Nice looking motor. Is the flasher a complete copy of Vexilars' or am I looking at it wrong?

Is this a long shaft or short shaft? If it is a long shaft I would be very interested.
