You can pick it up from the shipper. That was the easiest way to get mine home.

A few years ago I had a few small parts being delivered USPS. Showed online as being delivered. I was home within 15 minutes of said deliver and no package with the rest of the mail. I needed to go to the post office anyway, so I showed the lady the tracking # and told her what I knew. Automatically she started spewing that it must have been stolen. 20 yrs at that address and no issues however. I asked if we could leave a note for the carrier… Too busy for that.

That is a nice looking jig. Is that hair and flash in the tail?

I did mine for the first time this spring, it was more than 10 yrs old. Rubber was starting to feel soft and was leaving spots on the tensioner pulley. I replaced the belt and tensioner. I was not too difficult with an electric impact and a steering wheel puller. I watched a few videos on YouTube. I think I was quoted $450 for the belt at a Yamaha dealer. The belt was $60 or so and the tensioner was $130, online.

I was just talking with my son about all the videos you see online with pissed off homeowners thinking they own the water and how we have never seen it. Well then we fished Osakis in June. apparently resort owners are worse then home owners. Mid-day docks were producing so we come around a corner. 2nd cast my son makes he snags up in a piece of old rope submerged and out from the dock. As soon as we pull up to unhook it this guy comes down the dock yelling and screaming about the only place to fish on the lake is his dock. Kid thinks he is joking and laughs which only makes him more insane. At this point he has his phone out like he is taking a picture an says he should call the Sherriff and report us for trespassing…I was steadying the boat holding the dock while my son tried to pull the treble hook from the old rope. I tried to explain we it would be dangerous to leave a lure in the old rope but after continued yelling we cut the line and backed away.

You would think it ends there, but as we move up the shoreline he continues to yell, telling some people sitting on another dock that we are only catching docks. As we are starting to pull the trolling motor to leave the area he is further done the shore and starts casting something at us. not sure if he broke his line or cut it but he made a couple cast across the front of our boat with a 3 oz weight and probably a 3/4 oz jig with a hook.

Snagging his old rope was an accident. Casting at us was insane. Would have made a great video.

Biggest thing with any walker is making sure it will adjust to the correct height. Not all of them adjust the same.

They made an improvement to the burner from the original models. Much easier to hold temps in all conditions.

Especially important for 2 newly elected senators in out-state MN to hear from gun owners. Senate district 3 which is most of the arrowhead region and district 4 which is the Moorhead area. If you live there, or know anyone that does, have them email their state senator

What size youth.
Oh goodness did that have the size in the description the entire time ? If so I apologize.
My son is a tall kid. I’m curious if this would work for him. Any odds on measuring length of jacket and pants. If they are big for a youth, I will take them

Still have this ?

REC TEQ for sure. Whoever said temp swings on a pellet grill are normal probably owns a Traeger. If I watch mine and temps are off of the set point by more than 1 degree I start to think something is wrong. The main thing that puts REC TEQ over the top is customer service. Ask the owner of any other pellet grill if they have the cell # of the owner of the company. Ray Carnes gives his out. Check out any of the REC TEQ facebook pages and you will see nothing but stories of crazy customer service. There are also a lot of stories from people that switched from other smokers to REC TEQ

I picked up the Amped Outdoors 12ah battery this season for my Helix 7. Only had it out a few times. 5.5 hrs the first time. Screen brightness on 6 and it still read 100% battery after 5.5. My lead acid 9ah would be in the 80% range after 5 hrs

When storing the pickle or tickle stick you need to leave them straight. Leaving line on the with the tip curled over gives then a permanent bend.

Broke a lightly used St Croix setting the hook on a fish. Called to check and it was still under warranty which it was. While talking with the customer service woman I said it’s only the second rod I’ve ever broken and the first was my fault. She asked it it was also a St Croix and if I still had it. I did. Long story short ship it back with my warranty rod and they will replace it for $55

picked one up cheap on EBay years ago and its still working great. Make sure any radio you buy is marine rated.

I have a 17.5″ boat. I’ve never had an issue with the 18# Richtor and 4′ of the vinyl coated chain.

When I was working 3rd shift in St Paul I would always see the same mini-van on 35E. It would always be 9-9:30pm and if there was a cloud in the sky or a damp road they had the 4 ways on and doing maybe 40 mph. They were the hazard

I have had good luck using Simple Green. Spray on full strengh and let it sir a few minutes then toss in the wash.

Let him pick the rod. One thing I found when my son was young was a “lady Angler” series from Gander. Same as other rods but a slightly smaller diameter handle to hold onto.

Ebay… Delivered to your door. Mail carrier may not like you.

They can make you a new one but they are not cheap.

I go with a 50/50 mix shore lunch and Ritz crackers. Kid cant get enough of it.

Bought my Fishhawk new in 01. It has a lot of life left in it and no plans to change.

I buy one every year for my son to collect. I normally have to ask for the stamp unless I pick it up from the DNR at the sports show. One year from Gander I got 2 walleye stamps and 2 turkey stamps in the mail??

GM in Woodbury is still open??

Talking with rep at St Paul ice show if you want the drill to last it should be brushless

My 03 Chev has separate fuses for the trailer connector in the underhood fuse block. Every once in a while it pops a trailer light fuse.

I remember reading something about there paperwork issues. I think they were not tracking serial #s early enough in the manufacture process. Feds warned them and they still continued to repeat the same mistakes.

I have had nothing but positive experience with LED Lenser. As a mechanic my lights take some abuse. Never an issue with replacing parts or entire flashlight.
