I love to see those older boats being rebuilt to like new condition. You really end up with something you can be proud of.

IT was a calm night when docked her, so I didnt back it in. This is what I woke up to. Lesson learned. I'll have to get pictures of her floating. It a 84 Lund 16' Pike with a 87 Mercury classic 50 (45hp) I put a deck up front with storage for batteries and goodies I use a cooler with a areator for a live well and a smaller one for bait everything is controled from the drivers seat. Running lights and a spotlight on the bow with an interior light also front and reae trollers and finders. This was a shell when I got her wish I had pics of the rebuild.

Does she have a bilge pump?!

"Why a 6hp kicker with a 25hp honda?"

That was the same thing I thought.

Ah, good question. For that matter, why only a 25hp? lol. Only one answer, it is my Sag, BWCA boat. No electricity up there to plug in trolling motor batteries. Believe it or not, the Honda just doesn't troll down to my liking, as I lindy rig alot. PLUS, having the 6hp as a backup on Sag, where you might not see anyone all day, is huge. That little 6hp is the cat's meow, and I would take it over any electric hands down for my style of fishing. Thanks for the question. Junky....... IMG_0754.jpg

There are a lot of nice rigs up here. Saw a couple that looked like mine. Now I have to find some pics dangit!!

Thanks for the reply Fishing Novice. If you've got any more pix of that setup, esp the front "spring", or any more info for your friend, I'd appreciated it! Great looking boat, btw. Thanks in advance. ( goose55316 at msn dot com )

I liked the two PBR's loaded up in the cup holders grin

I will make sure I take some photos of it but I won't be able to get them until we put the dock in on opening weekend.

I guess this is puny against all you big guys, but I love it. It only has a Merc 25 electric start and I do have problems getting to plane out with 2 people in it, but the 40 HP I want is a little out of my budget right now.

Here is my Coral. Great fishing platform and lots of fun for other activities as well!

      Made a quick trip before the weekend rush on Vermilion.  Ice was in very good condition.  Didn't see any slush or water on any of the roads out from McKinley Park.  There are plowed roads on both side of the staked snowmobile trail coming out from the landing.  The road to the left goes out toward Birch Island, and there is a spur road going to the left (west) a couple hundred yards out.  The road on the right side goes out toward Ely Island.  There is a short spur road going east about half mile out.   The water came up under my fish house about another 1½ inches when I drilled my holes.  Looks like I will be going back up early next week to block my house up higher.  The small amount of new snow is really drifting up and adding weight.  You may get water on the ice, or find slush if you drill holes in new areas.  There is about 15% bare ice where the wind has blown it off.  Many of the drifts are very high and hard, so you could get stuck on them.   Fishing was average.  Best bites were from 9-10am and 11-1230 when I quit.  Biggest walleyes was only 16¼", then the next biggest was 13.75".  Reporting lengths in quarter inches because I can't seem to find any big walleyes.   Good luck fishing, be careful driving around, and be courteous to others.
