If you wanted to save some cash you could put a ~1" cypress board on top of a pressure treated bunk board, probably thicker if you added the drainage grooves. Just a thought.

MacCTD, I have put in anywhere from Boston Harbor and South to New London CT area and many points in between. Will be in Boston Harbor this weekend. I haven't gone North yet only because it's further for me, as it is I'm averaging about 150 miles round trip. I would love to do it sometime though. Ma...

Nice work.

Yep my Bro has his hands full for the next 5-6 years but they are good kids and won't give him too many headaches. Yes trolling with lead core, usually targeting 25-30' and rarely need deeper then 35'. This is mainly a mid summer - fall, daytime tactic when the stripers are sitting on the bottom. Ar...

We fished Provincetown (the very tip of Cape Cod Mass) last Thursday. My brother joined me with his two girls, a trip we all were looking forward to as we hammered them on this trip last year. They left VT at 2:30am, got to my house at 5:45am, we hit the road at 6am for a 7:15am ramp arrival. We put...

I'm a big Ugly Stick fan too. I especially like my US Tiger and Tiger Lite rods for vertical jigging sea bass and lings out on the Sunken Jetty. Most of mine are in the 15lb-30lb. and 6' tall. All my buddies use "high end" stuff, but I seem to hang with'em just fine. :popcorn: My feelings...

In the atlantic yes, I'm not sure about the west coast. Its a federal permit, you need the commercial permit to sell them... https://hmspermits.noaa.gov/PermitList.asp

Here's a few pic's of the 'mywedge' in action, once in place there's 19" of ground clearance to the skeg. This could be made on a table saw in 10 minutes or so, giving the builder the flexibility to control the tilt level.

I also use the my wedge product, it works great and installs in seconds. If it ever needs replacing I'll make one out of wood on the table saw.

Jerry would have more SB titles to his name if he hadn't let his ego get in the way of Jimmy Johnson getting things done for him. What a missed opportunity that was...

I wish he had coordinators, that seems like part of the problem. This will be the first season in 3 that he has a named O coordinator, still no D coordinator. He's also GM making personnel and contract decisions. Also they lost Scott Pioli a couple of seasons ago, this was a huge loss to the organiz...

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't like the ocho signing at all for the Pats. He doesn't stretch the field and basically gives them what they already have in Welker. BB has gotten a free pass for far too long, he has been out coached in just about every big game since and including the Giants superbowl. ...

Love it, I just can't justify the price.

Interesting thread, can you describe the wear that you are seeing? Maybe a photo?

I'm looking for a lightweight bottom fishing setup for fluke, scup, seabass, tog and was starting to lean towards ABU. Seems like pretty good quality/value. Definitely will go with a baitcaster (was looking at the ABU C3) but had not considered the low profiles, I guess I think of them as freshwater...

Capt Dave,

What baitcasting reels are you using in this video for the trout? Do you use the same when targeting redfish? Nice job on this video.

Well Done, its nice when the backup plan pays off.

Also have the pitting from carpeted bunks. I put a synthetic siding 'board' over the carpeted bunks with a deep counter sink on the SS screws. I got this product at Lowes and ripped it to width, total cost was under $20 and it has worked out great. Other have used starboard or similar. You can searc...

Spent last weekend fishing in the New London-Groton area, mostly for fluke. I have not done much fluke fishing but we had a blast and definitely will be doing more. Caught lots o fluke, fish on just about every drift, mostly in the 17" range (18.5" CT requirement) the biggest fish was 24&q...

Your killing me with this boat. If I lived closer to the water I'd be all over it. It's just how I would buy a new one, good luck with the sale, shouldn't be too hard to find a buyer.

21, thanks for the offer, I got everything sorted out on Saturday. Fished Monomoy on Monday; a handful of small stripers, many bluefish and one small flounder. The stripers are fresh into the area, still with sea lice on them.

I have changed many sink faucets before (I'm a landlord) and say that fixing a reel is a lot easier. It's part of the down fall of our country, most of the US population has become fat and lazy.

So last night I got the handle nut off using a pair of electrical crimps and managed to do it without damaging the nut. The nut has an 'oil' port yet the factory has it loaded with grease?? Major corrosion on the top two layers of washers, I had to pound the crap out of them to get them out of their...

The nut driver doesn't work, tried it with both US and metric sizes. It's a custom nut that requires the Penn wrench (53 cents, ordered it today). Too bad, I was hoping to have this reel ready for my Sunday-Monday trip.

I have a 113H Senator Special that the drag tension is fixed regardless of the star wheel adjustment. This reel is probably about 4 years old and has seen light use. I just ordered the handle wrench from Penn so I will be able to open it up sometime next week. Any ideas on what the problem may be or...
