Can't wait!! I'm the one holding the scale with Dilly Worm's fish on it in Jack's picture. I'll sign up "With Boat", but would gladly jump on with someone else if the numbers don't work out right. We had a blast last year, I believe we caught 9 salmon ... just not quite big enough.

Beautiful brown and lots of smiles! Nice job!

Hi Ron, which of the cheaper Amazon tablets have GPS? I only see it on the newest $150 ones. Most of them say "location based services via WiFi" or something like that.

Thanks

*** Sorry to hijack your thread, Matt and Esad! ***

Right, good point on the polarized glass issue! I hate that with the fishfinders! Thanks for the info.

Yeah, I'll have to find something like that for an iPad. I've seen them with rubber clamps ... I think that would work. I'm planning on revamping my electronics this year. I've got a nice fishfinder that has been relegated to GPS/mapping duties and am using an old crappy fishfinder as the actual ff....

Great looking setup, Esad! You did a nice job.

Along with John’s question, what would folks recommend for a mount if I don’t have a glass windshield? My plastic windshield wouldn’t hold up to that. I’d like to find a good mount that I can screw down.

Congrats and thanks in advance!

Not sure if you have a splash well, but I just have PVC tubes across the splash well for holding rods. They work great and the rods are vertical so there is no chance of them slipping out when under power.

I'm using a skinny version of lead core, and I couldn't get the Willis knot to work. The double-Uni that Dilly posted works perfectly. I bought 1 - 10 color spool and setup 2 - 1 color rods (~5' deep), 1 - 3 color (~15' deep) and 1 - 5 color (~25' deep). Now I realize I only really use lead in the s...

That’s cool, Matt. I didn’t realize you could buy them already setup with shrink wrap.

That's these releases with shrink wrap over the backside of the clip. It's all I use for planer board releases. You can probably find them cheaper if you shop around.

Thanks for the invite and great time, Matt! Beautiful winter day out there with you and Joe, and plenty of fish and food.

Till next time.

Congrats to you and your brother, Matt! Did your brother get that nice 8 in NH?

Did you guys have any luck up there, Matt? When those big boys are marching it's almost impossible to catch up to them. They can cover some territory!

No out of state hunting for me this year.

If by "Vermont Only" areas you mean areas that can only be fished with a VT license, then I would say no. The inland sea has a few, but they are few and very far between. If you mean the VT side of the lake, there are lots of good areas. One of my favorites is around Colchester Point. Laun...

Sounds good to me, Pat! I'm Shaun, btw. We can exchange contact info, etc later on. I'll try to shoot a deer or 2 beforehand so I don't get TOO stressed out about missing a day of hunting .
