N II Deep

Any ideas where to start looking for a used hyd assist system?

Ben when I get home tonight I will send you a contact for a Guy up in Silver Lake. He takes in old boats and sells off all of the parts. I know he will have what you need.

I bought a used engine coupler from him last year at about 25% of the cost of new.

I have electric Cannons and they came with the boat. If I was going to buy some the would be Big Jon or the Vectors.

My older Cannons had some issues and parts were not available. I repaired them. Cannons and their customer service was a lot better before they changed hands. Too much plastic in the Cannons.

knock on wood, I have older cannon digitrol II's so far no issues. if they puke I would be looking at either the Vector's or Walkers.

I just bought 4 this winter for copper, not sure they would have enough backbone for a wire diver.

good job Kevin

Thanks for the pics. Great job,

Nice layout. Good luck on selling. Should move at that price

Another way to learn is ride with a member. Most of us will post if we have an open seat.

You get to see how others setup are run.

the earth NC was free when I downloaded it.

I run it on my Droid phone.

it uses the NOAA maps for the great lakes. seems ok.

it will be nice to have a backup GPS just in case I have issues.

I have not used it on the big lake yet as I loaded it this winter.

Send nailer a pm. Ken takes some great pics

Nice picture - check it out

I keep my coppers completely on one side, and lead on the other. That way I know they are not tangling. Usually it's two or three to a side, but when it's tight sometimes just one.

I tried mixing lead and copper on the same side, kinda like mixing beer, wine & whiskey. you end up with a big mess in a five gallon bucket.

so best thing to run next to a 300' copper is a 250' copper

Great work on the browns. thanks for the mid winter pics

I'm very happy with the motor I swapped out last summer. I did get it from the guy out of zeeland. It was bored out .03" over.

1200 was what I paid.

Pressure test your exhaust maniafolds for leaks, that's what killed my old motor

I would have to agree with you ,the shorter the winter or off season warmth seams to bring a better year of fishing.

I hope we are right ,I could see my self out there right now .LOL if the boat wasn't in storage.

I'm with you on the wanting to get the boat out. I'm in the process of building a hard top for mine. I'm at a point that I can't do much more until it comes out of storage.

The bait fish was so plentiful last year causing fish to grow bigger than years past, i think we will see bigger fish again. I mean we seen dead alewife floating on the surface and beach in manistee this year!!!!

I understand the plentiful bait fish - but is that related to winter weather conditions?

ok, I've been fishing now for the past 3 years so I don't have much history on how winter weather effect the next fishing season.

Last season we seen the return of bigger fish here in West Michigan and still very good numbers, the previous winter was long, it started early November, stayed cold until March, lots of snow that stayed on the ground. we also saw Ice on Lake Michigan if I recall almost solid all the way across. (I really liked hauling in the bigger fish this past year)

not this

Holland web cam 2-5-2012 @ Noon (this looks like late April, I'm surprised I don't see Kevin trolling the beach today)

I would like to hear what our seasoned fishermen think the up comming season will be like and why with our current winter (lack of) conditions.

yea, knee deep at best @ Duck Lake.

just south of your camp ground will be the Snug Harbor launch.

It's a sickness. Enjoy

way to stay after the PM's boys,

also anyone in the Holland / GR area that's looking to use an alignment bar let me know, Merc - Alpha I

Can't wait to make another trip back down to Mexico, thanks for mid winter pictures of soft water and great looking fish.
