In fact, I’ve had to ask more than one fishing buddy to drop the coins and put ‘em back on the floor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>See, several years ago I was cleaning out the boat and found a quarter on the floor and thought, “Better not get rid of that.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“It’s gotta be good luck.” Ever since?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Coins on the floor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year it’s a single, lonely dime. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another of my favorite traditions <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>is the snacks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I always keep a bag of salted, in-the-shell peanuts and also a sack of saltwater taffy handy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That tradition’s less about chance and more about family. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>See, when I was five or six years old, Dad would load up the old fiberglass tri-hull and we’d hit the water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He’d always make sure I had plenty of peanuts and taffy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’d sit on the water and bobber fish for sunnies. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’d litter his boat with spent peanut shells.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also had an incredible knack for tangling (beyond repair) my Zebco closed-face reel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’d hand it off to Dad and he’d hand over my sister’s combo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The exact same rod and reel, except for the single black dot of spray paint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dad put that dot on the handle to keep my sister and me from bickering over who owned which rod. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The stuff <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>my dad put up with….</div><div class="MsoNormal"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgm9F0NrpXtc2FWVmKhcEdJ16C7jYR9Q21JX4uYitbq1nl3nH0S49NXzvh42zaOxmi6LgShZ-yfJ5iat0ZMKwWmKdd10hUo46RN1FIvSYqvBzCi1GZvucHoOV0J6V3czbueja7fBAH2G4/s1600/pICTURES+372.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgm9F0NrpXtc2FWVmKhcEdJ16C7jYR9Q21JX4uYitbq1nl3nH0S49NXzvh42zaOxmi6LgShZ-yfJ5iat0ZMKwWmKdd10hUo46RN1FIvSYqvBzCi1GZvucHoOV0J6V3czbueja7fBAH2G4/s320/pICTURES+372.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal">30 years later, Dad and I are still fishing together and yes, we still have snacks in the boat. He laughed a bit as he told me the story a year or two back about those snacks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Turns out, the peanuts and taffy were the only things he could come up with to buy him a bit of non-chaotic fishing time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’d sit in silence cracking peanuts and chomping on taffy. He’d have a few moments to fish without interruption. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He still laughs when he tells me that darn story. Our tackle boxes of memories are full and overflowing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He’s currently ribbing me over the big pike of his I lost boatside a few weeks back in Ontario (my fault completely).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I still jab him for only fishing red and white Little Joe Spinners. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He just holds up his fish and smiles…That’s the kind of stuff that happens when familes fish together.<br />

</tbody></table><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Guest Article by Jimmy Bell </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So being a professional angler what is the question that I get most asked right now? “So Jimmy with the cold wet spring what should I be planning on for opener this year?” This is a great question because we all know that it certainly has not felt like spring.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
Well here are a couple of suggestions to get ready:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">First and foremost is making sure your gear is ready. Go through the boat and make sure that all the equipment is ready to go fishing. Check the trailer for sure, hopefully you were smart and brought the boat in to the folks at Rapid Marine either this spring or last fall and are ready to go. If you have time get it out on a small lake and check it all out. And with the new rules about taking your plug out while the boat is on the trailer make sure to put it in at the ramp. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now for the fishing, concentrate on those shallow warming areas. The Walleyes have certainly spawned out, those big females can only hold their eggs for so long. Concentrating on the shallows should put a lot of males into the boat. Those males will be aggressive and will stay in the shallows for another month or so. A light jig and minnow, or a live bait rig with a Mack’s Smile blade moved very slow should do the trick.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you are looking for bigger fish, the females will be off of the first break and will most likely be more neutral. They can be caught and can make for a great catch and release photo to share with your friends.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Use those new electronics and look for fish, they will be easy to spot and the old saying is very true, “you can’t catch what isn’t there”. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A couple of warm days, can catch everything up in a hurry so don’t be discouraged by the recent cold and windy weather. People will be catching fish, and as I say, “you don’t know if you don’t go!”</span></span>Amy Hannayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12753798612540688888noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242791291002088798.post-88682726203422085732011-04-20T12:51:00.000-05:002011-04-20T12:51:24.225-05:00"Set Your Compass Due North"<!--[if !mso]> <style>

With that I will leave you with some valuable tips from the “Man About the Woods” Bill Sherck.<br />
<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Notice a lot of smudges and water spots on your electronics screens? If you're careful, you can clean 'em up and make them look new without scratching the sensitive screens. I use window sprays with vinegar. The small amount of vinegar helps break up those stubborn water spots. Stay away from anything with ammonia. It can ruin the coating on your screen. Also be sure to use a lint-free, microfiber cloth. Paper towels will scratch the screen.<br />
<br />
</i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">It's time to gear up for the fishing season. First on my checklist? Get my gear in good order. I start with my reels. I grease each one and load fresh line, especially if the old line is twisted or feels frayed. I also check all my hooks. I change out any rusty hooks on crank baits and dip the hooks in red dye. I'll also sharpen any hooks that don't feel laser sharp. Finally, I'll check my rod guides to make sure they're not pinched or coming loose and I'll put just a bit of grease on the reel seats to make sure they don't seize up.</i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace: none;"> <br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace: none;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Having trouble trying to store all your walleye snells and spinner rigs without 'em all tangling up? Well, try this. Pick up one of those long foam swimming noodles and cut them into two foot sections. Then, simply wrap your snells around them and keep 'em on tight by burying the hook in the foam.</i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace: none;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I'm a gadget guy and I love Lund's Sport Trac system. It allows me to mount just about any boating or fishing accessory I can dream up without having to drill holes or permanently mount stuff to the boat. The portable Sport Trac brackets simply snap in and slide along the Sport Trac rails on the gunnels on both sides of Lund Boats. You can mount GPS units, rod holders, ram mounts, radio antennas, even downriggers. </i></div>Amy Hannayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12753798612540688888noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242791291002088798.post-79649590627671666832011-03-18T09:36:00.000-05:002011-03-18T09:36:06.528-05:00Perry Good’s Top 5 Tips for a Successful Fishing Season<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

<b>Become a student of walleye fishing.</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Read fishing articles, attend seminars, watch fishing shows and try to gain as much information as you can about fishing.

Time on the water leads to experience. <span> </span>With experience, comes confidence which will lead to fishing success.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Tip #3</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<b>Be prepared before you go fishing. </b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The off-season is a great time to get prepared.

Not so, according to many women who participate in this activity with their spouse or significant other. Many women have reported that they are “useless” when it comes to helping launch the boat.<br />
<br />
Some women report they are able to drive the vehicle and trailer back to the parking area after the launch but when it comes to backing the trailer down the ramp, forget about it! They do not have the confidence and skills necessary to do this one thing that could speed up the time it takes to launch the boat. In addition, almost every gal that I have talked to has told me that their husbands, or boyfriends, are not patient enough to teach them the fine art of backing up a trailer. And if they have at least tried to teach them, the lesson has usually ended in tears, yelling or both!<br />

When we were approached by<a href="http://www.momslikeme.com/"> MomsLikeMe.com</a> and Chevy to partner with them on a Women and Trailering Clinic, we were excited to jump on board! What an opportunity for these women to get behind the wheel and practice backing up a boat and trailer while receiving tips from patient instructors.<br />
Some women came at the urging of their husbands, while others came to learn so they could surprise their significant other at the next boat launch with their new found skill. Each participant received a trailering and launch checklist to help them remember the proper steps to ensure a successful trailering and launch of the boat.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">You just bought that new boat you have been dreaming about at the boat show this year and have been staring at it in your garage for the last few weeks. Or, you are planning on buying a new boat and the thoughts of getting that boat of your dreams on the water this spring continually occupies your mind. Well, literally, I am in the same boat as you and am looking forward to hitting the open water, which appears to be coming much faster than expected. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">When I think spring fishing I think of bluegill and crappie in the shallow bays. While shore fishing in spring is always a viable option, there is nothing better than getting that boat in the water early to explore the portions of those shallow muddy bays that those without a boat can not reach. When spring panfish invade the shallow warm waters of our local lakes, they are hungry, feeding and willing to bite. As anglers we may be tempted to fish with the crowd near shore because they are catching fish but often times the best fishing is on the warm south shore of the bay which is only accessible by boat. When this is the case, you will be rewarded for taking the time to get that new boat in the water early as you will have access to some of the best spring fishing there is.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL9Iv_evPksbMO8X0crAn4pnyS3N5Yf_6L_POWymczU6r1MusUitUzjTeqSlcKH-OvCBZcfPiLG16wcYivUfLlb4vwy0BRGi713yPpXb-NnvzSNjwWgfXQ3lAEgmrJNuf2G7co2qkt_L0/s1600-h/621LeftFog.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL9Iv_evPksbMO8X0crAn4pnyS3N5Yf_6L_POWymczU6r1MusUitUzjTeqSlcKH-OvCBZcfPiLG16wcYivUfLlb4vwy0BRGi713yPpXb-NnvzSNjwWgfXQ3lAEgmrJNuf2G7co2qkt_L0/s320/621LeftFog.JPG" /></a></div><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">For those of you that are fortunate enough to live near a border water you may still be able to fish walleye in spring long before the in-state season opens. The Mississippi River between Minnesota and Wisconsin is a perfect example of a river that remains open for walleye fishing. In fact, not only does the walleye season remain open but the spring walleye fishing is fantastic. The first water my new boat sees is usually at Pool 4 in Red Wing. The boat ramps on the Mighty Mississippi open early and give you a great opportunity to not only break-in and run your new boat but also take home a limit of nice walleye while you do it. Most years I am able to get quite a few hours on my motor and bring home some great tasting walleye long before most have ever thought about walleye fishing, thanks to the Mississippi River at Red Wing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Those are just a couple examples of spring fishing at its best and that are guaranteed to provide a cure for spring fever. Instead of looking at that new boat in your garage or thinking about going to buy that new boat, get out there and do it now. Some of the best fishing of the season will take place in the next month, long before the celebrated Minnesota Fishing Opener. We’ll see you on the water! </span><br />

</div> Purpose-built for fishing success, the Crestliner 1750 Raptor Trolling Edition (TE) goes the extra mile on storage and fuel effi-ciency. Take a closer look and you’ll be convinced the Raptor was custom-built for your dream day on the water. <br />
At 17 feet long, it’s a smooth fit in any garage, easier on fuel costs, and perfect for trailering to all your favorite fishing spots. And when it comes to interior space, the 1750 Raptor definitely isn’t lacking. <br />
Picture it now: the layout moves the console forward, creating a larger cockpit area for landing fish while trolling or jig-ging. You’ll feel spoiled when you discover there’s enough room to swivel the Pro-Style fishing seats a full 360 degrees. The optional stern conversion bench flips up for comfortable seating, or down to create a large fishing platform. And no matter how much activity there is on board, you’ll still have a clutter-free work area, thanks to massive storage inside the boat, including center rod storage, two lockable storage compartments with optional slide-in tackle tray liners, two livewells. And don’t forget the little details, such as the raised bow baitwell and throw tray. <br />
The Raptor won’t leave you short on performance or pleasure, because it features the Crestliner 4-piece hull, welded on both the interior and exterior, for outstanding durability, a smooth ride and quick planing. The 17 degree variable dead rise hull planes faster and gives you optimum on-board protection from spray. <br />
The Raptor also gives you a choice of side console, dual console or walk-through design with windshield. Popular options like the conversion stern bench, vinyl flooring and snap-in carpet are also available. All this equals the luxury Crestliner experience your family and guests will enjoy every single time you take them out on the water.<br />

The FinCraft 17 SC is built with VEC® technology—a highly advanced fiberglass lamination process. It allows us to design the boat with a sense of style that’s just not possible with aluminum, where there are square corners, sharp edges and drab looks (now a thing of the past with the new FinCraft).<br /><br /></p><b><p><br /></p><p><p>Unitized fiberglass construction</b></p>.<br /><br />VEC® technology also allows us to mold the hull and stingers as a single fiberglass component. Each is so consistently high in quality that we can offer it with a transferable lifetime limited warranty. And unlike aluminum boats, there are no seams, welds or rivets—just smooth, seamless fiberglass inside and out. The result is exceptional structural integrity, a clean running surface and a firm, quiet ride.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTda-rZg9NmGQCeEvsQhNSq950UA6DjCuePZqkJIcm1IU-t5rJHRgC3xDImgu8pSx7_dAAuG6oRmz3vcHMKQHWS7MhvHHxgAmAw_LMuKH2McaMudHb4tecQ0WgHV_IUmSM8V_oY9Oni-Y/s1600-h/FC%25201850DC%2520Rod%2520Locker.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386608467384643330" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 133px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTda-rZg9NmGQCeEvsQhNSq950UA6DjCuePZqkJIcm1IU-t5rJHRgC3xDImgu8pSx7_dAAuG6oRmz3vcHMKQHWS7MhvHHxgAmAw_LMuKH2McaMudHb4tecQ0WgHV_IUmSM8V_oY9Oni-Y/s200/FC%25201850DC%2520Rod%2520Locker.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><p>Only <b>Rapid Marine Group</b> can offer you the best selection of fishing boats at low prices like these.

With more keel built into the popular, proven hull design for easier maneuvering on big, rough water, the boat delivers an even smoother, drier ride. Rated for a beefy 300 horsepower and available – like all Rangers – with a wide range of precision-matched outboards, the 621VS Fisherman balances mechanical performance to tame the toughest conditions with increased interior comforts and a bevy of integrated storage options.<br /><br />Measuring 21 feet, 5 inches with a 99.5-inch beam, the 621VS Fisherman holds 55 gallons of fuel in its single tank, which is mounted below the cockpit for enhanced load distribution, better ride and increased performance. Capable of long runs to the most lucrative and secluded fishing spots, anglers will benefit from the 24V Minn Kota Fortrex trolling motor with recessed foot pedal and console-mounted Lowrance X-135 electronics, all complete with a 15x3 on-board battery charger.<br /><br />Comfort and convenience features within the boat are highlighted by a redesigned, open floor plan which provides additional dry storage by storing the trolling motor batteries in the floor while also generating 15% more floor space. In the cockpit, an all-new console provides room for in-dash mounting of today’s popular, large-screen electronics – including units as large as the new HDS10 from Lowrance. Elsewhere in the cockpit, a new gear management system featuring built-in cup holders and tool organizers is integrated alongside the driver and passenger seats, while snap-in carpet allows for easy maintenance and clean-up.<br /><br />“Some of the best multi-species waters in North America have at least one thing in common: notoriously rough water. If you’re going to be successful – and dry – when you take on these fisheries, you have to have a boat that performs,” said Ranger pro and veteran walleye angler Tommy Skarlis. “The hull of the new 621VS Fisherman has more keel that’s designed to tackle these big waters and delivers a competitive edge you won’t find in other boats.”<br /><br />Paired with a custom-built, tandem-axle, RangerTrail trailer featuring LED lights, the 621VS Fisherman is easier to maneuver and enjoys the smooth trailering benefits of custom alignment and individually balanced wheels. Up front, the center swing jack retracts flush to the frame and creates a more balanced load, making it even more secure on the trailer. Combined with matching fiberglass fenders, stylish new aluminum wheels, matching spare, exclusive oil bath COOL Hub® lubrication system, torsion axle suspension, and swing-away tongue, the RangerTrail trailer delivers long-lasting peace of mind and easy towing.<br /><br />Capacities and Specifications<br />Overall Hull Length: 21 feet, 5 inches<br />Beam: 99.5 inches<br />Maximum HP: 300<br />Engine Shaft Length: 25 inches<br />Inside Depth: 25 inches<br />Fuel Capacity: 55 gallons<br />Total Persons/Motor/Gear: 2,100 lbs.<br />Approx.
