Hey Pap, no real shake down here, my boats ready 24/7, I fish all year long .Nice thing about having an outboard on an 18' semi V jon boat. Worst case is a month between trips due to work or stupid ice(stupid ice is not safe enough to ice fish on, and to much of a pain when I break it up with the boat ). I also have a serious condition,its called "next", when a season is out or the bites not hot on a particular species , I move on to the "next" species. Theres always something.

welcome aboard Sid

justtracytrolling, good info right there on rapals vs reef runners , thanks for sharing

thanks for sharing muskybob, i plan on giving it a try.

I dont even watch that crap anymore on TV, they are all infomercials,the real deal is LEU and LOU I Agree with Justin, and Pap , for crying out loud, put the fish back then talk.

Thanks Pap, your not lost , I was just name dropping to get some chatter going. Got to do something this time of year is rough for fishing . Welcome yourself, looking forward to your posts, especially how you made your original worm burners. Thanks, Chuck

Seriously,ice fishing? Canadians United maybe .

I have not fished Erie,unfortunately,almost did last year,but its on my plate this year. Most of my walleye and perch have been on the St Lawrence, Lake Ontario(oswego) , Susquehanna River in PA. , and various lakes . I'm looking forward to the reports as well,it will really help guys like us get a little closer to the mark when were not from the area and have limited time on the Lake Erie.

I feel much better now, if i could do the imoji thing or spell it I would stick a dozen smiley faces in my reply. Im from southeast PA. about an hour west of philly. Good stuff

c'mon Pap, us Pa guys gotta stick together

Im sure you fellas are trying to do a big long deal on welcoming me to the site, but really, i dont need the bells and whistles. Short and sweet, like pulling a band-aid off, but somebody welcome me before my feelings get hurt

Nalod, very nice. The talent is pouring in to this site already.

Ive used the flouro 8lb test for fishing perch and walleye , jigging,trolling, and also the 30,50lb test for lady o trolling I personally like it better than red label, in the 8lb.which ive used quite a bit of. The 30 and 50 lb have worked well ,and have not had break offs at the knot or week spots. This is all leader material im refering to. The metered braid backing I just started using late last year so jury is still out. But has worked well for turning short copper into longer copper, on in-line boards and knowing how much line youve let out past the copper.

I do all the same types of fishing , and want to use the motor for the versatility it offers. I really wonder how the self deploy/stow will hold up overtime??
