I know we've been through this before but......[8)]

Wife and daughter want to know what I want for my birthday later this month...Worrall says $50 won't buy me a new Tuffy... so I'm think'n a watch...[:devil:]

I know Casio makes one are there any others?

And from those who have one do you like them and are they accurate for phases...?

Jason..didn't you just get one, I thought you were checking out prime times when we were at Cass??

Thanks for the help guys...

Have your post deleted; you already have what you seek...search w/in yourself my son.............find........the INNER CLOCK!!! This personal time piece is w/in you...properly mastered, it can tell you when to eat, sleep, cast, not to cast, troll, not to troll, what bait to put on, what bait not to put on, when to work, when to call in sick, how to master your wife + have her succumb to your every whim, and when it is time to unwind...this device cannot be purchased, but must be found...empty yourself and you will find that which you desire, keep it tuned and it will last you the rest of your life...[::)] [::)] [::)]

mark, i had one of the casios for about 5 years. if you put in the lat/long for the area your fishing moon phases and sunrise moonrise were right on. dont know if i believe in the peak fishing times part though. to me peak time is whenever your fishing. p.s. if you take it off and lay it on the boat console the sun will fry the led screen (oops) good luck and cpr

Good fishing watch without doodads is a Timex CR 2016 CELL, WATER RESISTANT TO 100 METERS in case you get your feet tangled in the anchor, you can check for time of death.

Have used this model hard and wet, for going on my 4th year and it has held up well with very accurate times and a large dial type face for easy reading. whether rock climbing in the Swiss Alps, water skiing on the Riviera, or hunting brown bear with my trustie bowie knife on the Kenai penninsula, this baby has handled it all... [:bigsmile:]

seriously has been a good product and you will be able to afford a case of beer to help celebrate if you have $50 to spend

The casio watch works period. This morning we caught a fish during the peak and this afternoon I got a snag and before I can get my lure retreiver out a fish was nice enough to eat the lure and take it off the log for me right at this afternoon's peak. Only 2 fish we got all day.

Last Thursday we had a huge fish follow withing 5 minutes of the morning peak and caught a smaller 50.5 inch fish within 5 minutes of the afternoon peak, again only two fish we saw all day.

I know for sure that I have caught many of big ones and then looked at my watch to see it was a peak so I now check my watch every morning and plan on been on the good spots during the peaks when I can. [:p]

Funny thing is most clients ask me if it works and the next thing you know first thing they do once they get home is go out and buy one, I should be getting a sponsorship from Casio with all the watches I sell for them. [:sun:]

I wear a movado. No numbers, no nothing on it. I am surprised that it even has the two arms and all that for about 400 bucks. Can't omplain, my work gave it to me.[;)] Hey , what you think I was stupid enough to buy a 400 dollar watch? Don't answer that![:((]

I had it dialed in with Milw lat and long....but adjusted a few minutes in my mind and the fish moved on those majors.[;)]

Casio, Timex, and Free-Style are all good watches. I have a Patek Philippe, but it's a piece of junk. They told me I didn't really own it, I was merely taking care of it for the next generation.

Casio Forester FT-200. They even have the manual on thier website, in case your an idiot and misplaced yours like I did.[;)]

I got mine after listening to the guy in the pink thong at our MI meeting last year. I don't know if it was the presentation, or the thought of him wearing that thong, but I went right down to Bass Pro in Gurney and bought one. I think it was $34.95.

I've tried to be on the prime spot when it's time, but I can't really say it's helped me this year. It's been a rough year for me. But it is getting better!

Mark,

$50 won't get you a new Tuffy, but how about a new PATRIOT?![:bigsmile:] [:p] [:bigsmile:]

Got my Casio Forrester this summer with shipping just under $50 from a place on the internet. EI or AEI or something like that I believe was the company. You'll find it with a Yahoo search for Casio Forrester watch. It does everything else, but it does NOT tell you moon rise and moon set times.

Just in case you guys prefer a slightly different model than what I got from Campmor, I see many many Casio Forester watches on Ebay, lots of them under $20.

Ebay Rules,
