I recommend using a load tester ,you can pick'em up at most auto stores now,they're mini versions of a regular shop tester,but they'll definately load a battery enough to point out the culprit.Those digital testers,I dont care for -eroneous readings ,I think due to surface charrges.Also like Murph I...

TonyL

Depends on your charger.Alot of newer on board chargers will charge ,then when batteries are good,will then drop into a maintenance state,where charger will only come on if a battery or batteries state of charge drops below a certain level,charger will kick on till battery is up again.I'd look at ma...

TonyL

TonyL

I avoided that route,heard it was tight,but also theres a restriction on length of your rig,dont remember now,sumthin like 35' total.Its posted on a small sign coming off 101 to 175.buddies told me they'd seen guys pulled over on that route,suspect for that reason.Anyway,last night tourney there,anc...

Are they having the Lowrance class this year ? Wasn't it last year-they did away with it and were directing people to a separate (more in depth) class at the hotel for a fee ??

TonyL

Man , how many has she helped over the years ? ! I know she helped me out on several occaissions,seems like the only one from Lowrance going out of the way ta help ! Gonna miss her !

TonyL

I also run a Merc.,and use Merc.fluids.If it was Evenrude , it'd be 'rude fluids , best way ta go.

TonyL

Thats why I like the bassmasters and marshalls....Let the team guys worry about getting money from there partners. Just elimate the co anglers, non boaters, free riders or what ever you want to call them. Then this topic will co away forever just like the backseater. N I C E ! ! I'd say that sums i...

This makes no difference to me.If he's a fully sponsered pro , he earned it ! Those are his earnings.Do we offer a white collar less than a blue collar , cause whitey earns more ? (Well ...maybe earned more before this economy hit

)

TonyL

All of the above for sure , plus , I enjoy the hunt mostly , I think As men we're all genetically engineered , from way back in the caveman days , we just need to hunt ! :twisted: I fish because: When I'm on the lake, the world dosen't exist, I don't think of anything else except how to catch that n...

To the Falcon that hud was avian !

If that rod is designed for shakey head and the like then the action would be too fast for top water applictions anyway.Don't do it.

TonyL

Im swithchin my stuff over , got about half the rods with braid so far , I keep some spools of different line size mono , and flouro , on a rack in the boat , leaders can be applied if necessary , also this totally extends your (my) arsenal , as that 1 rod can now be used for top water,jig , crank b...

TonyL

dont know-possibly if casting , would definately impede all actions.

TonyL

Awesome website Jim ! It's a keeper !

TonyL

Nice ! Hey Papa John -Heard you the 1st time !!

What up Chaozu ! Looks like a good deal if the boat holds water(or doesn't leak) BUT . . .I'd be sure all the paperwork is in order, trailer seems "fishy",see if any #'s on it and call DMV,find out about registerring , also he shouldn't mind meetn ya at say Anderson , or Calero , ta verify...

I'm told - flouro can hinder a cranks(lipped) natural ability to bounce off of or float off of stucture.For this reason,and others I recently switched to a braid , and or mono leader combo.Too early to tell yet though, and I'm not a big crankster , just tryin to use it more.

TonyL

I ' m not in the marine industry , been in the auto for years though, and have also seen issues like this.My guess is they're gonna replace the least amount of coils as possible until they know they have a veified upgrade/replacement with no further issues.After this I'd guess -they'd replace all on...

TonyL

They usually post on line - HookProshop.com , but Gene mentioned theyd be delayed.

TonyL

Man this sounds like a commercial !

TonyL

Has there been any in A.M. ? Light/thick, lasting long ?

TonyL

LOL , guess that beats launchn with your headlights on !!

:lol

TonyL

I don't know if he owns the place , but the guy who obviously runs the place definately treated our club like S@#$T,and clearley let us know we weren't welome , even after the whole club paid 100 % launch fees !!

Needless to say we won't be launching there again.

TonyL

Sorry sTony, but I disagree, this is just another uncalled for tax that the state will totally waste, like they do everything else. Delta tax, 2 rod stamp, etc. etc. I personally know wardens that have transfered and/or went to work for DFG, from police and sheriff depts, because they get more mone...

Must be TOPSECRET.

TonyL

DANG YOU COOCH !!!!

Let us know how you do !

TonyL

Go for the next best.Talk to your tire shop , ask what else is available , you'll prolly get somethin for 60% of the BFG.Theres always something else that could be installed , I 've been runnin knockoffs for years , no issues .

TonyL

Your take on fishin conditions for this weekend , in light of this crazy storm , rising water , followed by sun and higher baro pressures starting Thurs?

TonyL

Yeahh , you are right though , Lowrance does a reduced ? xchange ? A friend of mine found out while tryin to purchase replacements, got tooken care of , it's not advertised though , can't remember the price.Cheaper than replacing though.

TonyL

Tax the S@#T out of the products/companies usin foreign manufacturing , they"ll bring the work back .

TonyL

Used boat,warranty ! You'd get the latest technology-performance , economy etc.not ta mention newer boat , engine and some what worry free-at least for the warranty period.all that and ya didn't pay the huge margin , and ya still may be able ta extend the warranty.
