nice pics, I'm sure your freezer is full :D sounds like a great trip

I've done it a few times. Fortunately the new boat comes from the factory with a permanent drain plug on it. one less thing for me to remember at the ramp. My wife is constantly yelling at me whenever she hears the RPM's rise above 4500 or so :roll:

Does it come with a transducer and GPS antenna? You really want a good quality thru hull transducer for a much better picture. I have a Furuno 1850 combo unit and I am not a big fan of combo units. I would much rather have 2 seperate units. Lowrance makes decent sonar, but Furuno is top of the...

We carry a "Scooby Doo" pole on the boat, cause it always gets consistant action... No world records yet, but someday it will hook a grander!

I still need to take pics of the anchor I built. I used 5 tines made from bent 5/8" mild steel rod & welded them to 1-1/4" sched 40 steel pipe. It looks nice (alot nicer than rebar anchors) and has worked well at lake mead. It also fit in the pulpit rollers for the windlass. I filled the pipe...

If you have to make alot of bends, Harbor frieght makes a good bender for small rod. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=31980. you could probably find many uses for the bender. Other than that, I have seen home made rigs using dowel pins in plywood. I have never...

7' @ 5 seconds.... Don't you think you're over reacting a little bit? :D With that weather you could verify wether your cat would make a good submarine.

If you are using an intake similar to the one I posted earlier, they mount with the scoop forward to keep pressure on the pump while underway. Depending on the pump, you can even fill the tank while underway, without turning the pump on. Be sure to use alot of 5200 on all of your thru hulls...

Dezracer, Do they charge you for the SMS text messaging also? From what I remember, text's were like $.50 ea. from my razor.

thanks for the info. customer service warned us not to use it, so we stuck with my razor. you have to call customer service for the international roaming.

I've used my At&t razor all over Mexico and got great service. $5 international roaming fee & $.50 a min. for local calls or to the US. the only dificult part is learning how to make local calls. In some areas you dial it like a local phone but other areas you have to dial it like long distance...

Good job on the baitwell Don! One thing I heard recently is that you CAN have too much flow that will kill delicate baits (anchovies/ sardines). This doen't really make sense to me, but the Socal guys really know how to deal with those baits, especially since they have to pay for them. I'm not...

You have the inshore fishing down! Only a matter of time before your getting the big boys out at the reefs. I use to fish alot from my buddy's Zodiac in Kauai, those rubber boats are very fishy. One day he hooked a 150lb+ Ahi that tore the plywood transom out when it hit. He fought it for 2...

Sounds like a great trip! No pics of the groupers? I'm an internet fisherman, we love pics :lol:

Atleast you guys got some bendo action! sounds like a decent day to me although I'm not sure if I would have prefered farming fish over no action at all. I'm very hard on myself for years when I farm fish. :oops: Thanks for the report! Don, It sounds like your paying your dues and getting...

I figured :mrgreen: Thanks for setting up this forum! It looks like it has a few more bells and whistles than the previous board :lol:

This could be a great forum but I have to ask.... Where is the fishing forum? :D
