Great call on the chuck, I'm still contemplating it, it sounds fun to give it a try though. At this point I'm leaning on pouring some smoke at it and trying a batch of pastrami, just have to figure out a way to steam it in the end..
Minky, what lb test are you using?
I’m running 2 and 3 Micro Ice on pretty much everything I have for panfish. I’ve been impressed with what it can handle along with its fish ability. Pairing with the right rods helps a bunch too.
Used the impulse mayflys today, the fish were not biting well. I ended up catching a few nice gills on the mayflys but more fish with the demon/ waxie combo. I want to try some lighter line with the horizontal jig /impulse mayfly and see what happens. Maybe 5 years ago I moved away from winter panfish fishing. I am so glad I am back catching panfish, a very enjoyable way to pass a winter morning!
13 years ago I had my heart set on a Lund, I went with an Alumacraft because I could rig it out nicer with the money I was allotted by my better half at the time..........no regrets.
Ive owned 7 Lunds and don't see another one in the future. Also been looking at the A-crafts. The 205 trophy. Have a 13' Lund Tyee 1800 now. Good boat but its too light for big water. Really like the fit and finish of the Aluma's. The black windshield trim is sharp and the carpet on the top of the gunwale is also nice. Really impressed. Not gonna take out a mortgage to buy a glass boat either.
I had problems with my 02. I found that the plug on the truck side going to the plug at the bumper was corroded. I hope that made sense I cleaned it up and put dielectric grease on it.
