The Polar Kraft is my favorite, The starcraft I owned was a 170 superfisherman, it was a little too narrow. I would love another Boston Whaler but I don't have that kind of cash just laying around. (50k+ for one like mine) Here a a few pics of what I did as far as the mounts, Down rigger, rod holder tracks, cross over brace for trolling, and the bumper holders. I have a few more but no pics yet.(anntena mount, and trolling motor stablizer for trailering)

Meangreencj7 I just happen to notice that I never introduced my self properly on here, so here goes. I try to fish at least once a week from April to November and I take two to three week long trips per year, doesn't mater what. I fish for Bass, Walleye, Perch, salmon, Northerns, etc.... pretty much anything I can catch, but mainly the first 4. I fish Ontario, Erie, Conesus, Pymatuning, Chautauqua, and Canandaigua. are the main lakes that I fish. I Troll, Cast, Drift, and poke around docks. I have owned 7 different boats (hopfully I am on my last, Probably not :-)) Boston Whaler, 2 grumans, Imperial, bass tracker, starcraft, and then a Polar Kraft. I know the ins and outs of most of these because The first 6 were torn down and rebuilt at some time That I owned them. (the Polar Kraft was new when I bought it, (of course that dosen't mean I haven't taken it apart...at least a little) The Polar Kraft that I own now is a 2015 frontier 179 WT, it has a 115 yamaha 4 stroke motor (best motor I have had by far), a 9.8 tohatsu 4 stroke kicker and a minn kota ulterra 24 volt (best trolling motor I have ever had). the boat is 17 ft 11 in long and 99 in wide. I have done a lot of mods on it already and have more planned as I go. It has a lorance chirp 7, a hummingbird helix 7, and a fish hawk x4 for electronics. I have built all of my own mounts for my rod holders, downriggers, and accessories that mount to the rail system that is on the boat (saved myself at least a $1000 doing it all my self). I am always looking for new places to fish and new people to talk to, That's why I like getting on to the LEU and the LOU web sites, to see what everyone else is doing. And if i can't get out, I can vicariously live through your stories and trips, and maybe learn a few things along the way.

true that, i keep waiting for someone to do my job at work but it never happens......or even do there job,

Would love to own a baron, but i have not hit the lottery yet and can't justify having a boat that cost that much. but i still want one!

I just use the snack bags form walmart, there like 4 dollars for 100 bags

i still do it the old fashion way, wind then up after they dry and place them in a plastic bag. I do the same thing with my flies for salmon.

I tie my own harnesses and I do not put swivel on them, so i use a snap swivel.

I use a plastic coffee canister, I get out 5-6 worms and throw them in there with it about half full of water, when i run out I pull out more. only have to wash my hands every once in a while. If the fish are biting well I will put more in at a time.

I bought a couple of downrigger poles from ricks sporting goods, always get a good price from him at the show ($80 rods for $50) can't beat that. Unfortunately it looks like my last show, driving 70+ miles taking a full day off work (i work weekends) and then they canceled the best part of the show, the swap meet!!!!! I will have to see about attending some of the losta swap meets this year (even more days off work......oh well) My impression of the show is that it is now mostly vendors, some of which don't sell anything there, and seminars. I go to the show with my daughter every year and she was upset there was no fishing pond, no rifle range, nothing for the kids to do ( even thought they say it is a famliy event?????)
