Boltman

Ok Guys while it's slow this time of year, it's time to explain and show the Village Idiot what is meant when you're talking, " Yeah we fished in the 14's and the Mid 17's then went into the 54's and fished until we hit the mid 60's" I do have a Raymarine Chart Plotter and I'm thinking I do have a Clue of what your talking about, but if someone can upload an image of a Chart plotter, and point me in the right direction... then I'll be sure I was looking at the right numbers........Once again thatnks for Helping the Village Idiot!!!!!!!! I'll leave a light on for yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

I use Mercruiser oil in the Twins, thinking of going synthetic from AMS oil, I carry it at my shop, I've used it in my truck ever since I've had it... 450,000 miles later... it still hauls th boat..

We took a trip to Franks outdoors, in Linwood Michigan today.... Nice place, I was looking at the WALL of spoons and Plugs and found Lighted Jay Plugs..... Thought WTH.....has anyone used these J plugs? I'm thinking over the top....

Mike It's the best, and I'm still trying hard to RE MAKE a website for my business, but I'm having a hell of a time right now very frustrating.

I don't run bags at all, I also have twins and smartcraft that I can Idol down to 500 RPM on one or both, and really haven't trolled in 3-4 footers....YET.

Those are some awsome shots,Thanks Ken for posting those.... I had some of some albino Deer, but cannot find them on the hard drive anymore.

It is Sweet, let me tell you....Can't wait for a cold wintery day....blowing and drifting, blizzard conditions... and warm and toasty inside........ yeah buddy...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone wants to sell their swivel mounting bases that you may have laying around the Gunwales, please let me know, I hope I'm using the right terminology as well...

Well guys take a look at my new finished project.It's been two years coming, that we have been wanting this beautiful Hampton Wood Burning Stove. I did all the biulding and tile work and Hired out the mantle. I even installed the Flatscreen and wire it for surround sound as well. The components are acrossed the other side of the room, ran the wores under the basement. We burn noting but Oak and cherry with a little bit of Ash, oh how sweet it is...Now I need some hunters to get me a bear skin rug... so I can have some REEL fun with the wife on it......I'm keepin it family style Mike.... What do you all think, it's going to ake the winter so much more Bearable... Not sure about the Center Channel Speaker on Top Mantle, I believe I may install the speakers with the TV mount.... still undecided.

New Chevy... are you HIGH man..... Chevy can't keep up with this FORD... and DODGE.. I have so much fun eating them for lunch, and using them dodge's for Cut bait...Oh I'm just kidding.. there all oh so Good.....It was nice seeing you from behind.......... glad you had a good time fishing

Yes that is Our boat, My wife and I were hauling it back from Winterizing the beast, and we stayed in Ludington and took a scenic drive up to Arcadia/Frankfort. It was a great weekend and a great trip./... Yeah 74, I'm thinking like 76-78, but I was losing speed also from the Hill we were climbing...460,000 miles on her she doesn't pull like she used to....

spoon, you need to slow that rig down a little bit when on the road, that was me you passed on 96 hauling the big rig Ambiance.......I was doing 70 and you passed me even faster then that..... Wow man...Glad to see you boxed out on the steelies.....

Yes it is, Fish On emailed me last night they want to fix it over the weekend since we are coming over there this weekend anyways...Going to have the boat winterized and enjoying a nice weekend of sight seeing and Hoteling it with my Bride... YEah!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know how to repair a line counter, I bought a new rod and reel from Fish On this season, got it out and the line counter will not work....Convector 30. let me know if there's anything I can do besides take it back to Fishg On.

Nice Rig Ken, can't wait to see you on the water in that beauty...... WOW now you are in the Tiara Club.................. I want a Tiara!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm goin gto stick with my Mono on my rigger rods, but then again I'm still practicing on how to fish....and I like it that way...

Thanks guys, and yes I am going to take up on those offers for fishing in the sprint time, I have to learn and with the wife onboard doing the driving when trolling. She's a great woman, but only one can expect do much.... when learning... You guys are the greatest.

Thanks Guys...I have more, just didn't want to bore anyone!!!!!

Here's Big Sable Lighthouse, before we started Fishing....My wife actually walked up to the beach through the water.... yeah came up on a large King in the water, then she walked on the water back to the boat faster them I've ever seen, screaming Big fish Big Fish....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok Mike, Here's my 10 Year old Step Daughter Alyssa , Using her own Pole with a mini walker Dipsey diver, about 50 feet back with a small spoon, i think it was a mini Elwife..... no she didn't catch anything but she sat still for over an hour with that pole waiting to catch something.

Jason, your going to need a DVD/CD Burner, you can get an external one for about 60.00 dollars,, Or you can save them to an external Harddrive too... I'd buy a burner..

Here's my First 23.5 lber, the big one got away... ha ha ha Ludington 2009 August

I don't have any more fishing trips left in me, right now I'm about to battle a very bad cold, I can tell it's biulding and all i feel like doing right now is sleeping, Too bad I have to work, I'm self employed.... he he he i would like to go out with someone using these baords but it's not in the cards this fall, too busy and right now too damn sick, My kids brought this home to me......... as always....Thanks for the invite though Jim, I know we'd have a great time.

Hello Gents, it's that time of year, ahh yessss teach the newbies how to use the equipment.... You guys are the Pro's no doubt in my mind at all... Well, I'm thinking of buying some planner boards for the boat, so I can improve my presentation, fishing for Kings, what should I use and HOW THE HECK DO YOU USE THEM, also what line do you put them on Mono,or what....? So many questions,,,, good thing there's a lot of time to learn before the next season hits... PS The Boltman is in at Ludington's Harborview Marina for next year..... can't wait, now we have to get the bottom painted.. but forst let's teach me how to use Planner baords..............

Well on the bright side it could have been a lot worse........ yeah know...
