Location: Contrarian Island | $24,000 for a Stratos
$15,000 for a rig to pull it
$10,000 in lures
$5,000 in rods, reels, net, boxes etc
$1000 trolling motor
Using your new rig one full year then discovering you actually DO have an AUTO PILOT MINN KOTA and realizing you like it.....
PRICELESS!
Did we tell you you'd like Auto Pilot or what Spicoli!!!!
"So I looked down and it said "push to activate" awwww mannn I really do have auto pilot"
Funny stuff man! best laugh I've had in awhile getting that phone call from you on the water!!!!

I understand that to, all about fun, thats why I said not looking for an arguement. All I'm saying is the maxxum have had less problems. It's just that its like you constantly hear problems with the powerdrives. That's all I'm saying. But that's great to hear that you have an option that you never knew until now! |

Congrats on the new rig. m |

| Stephendawg..i'm trying to get Todd in my boat, and you for that matter too...yea, i'm sure would have pointed that out to me awhile back..OOPS! yea, got the yami..i knew that!
Kevin..yea, i got the Ugly Stick!! thanks, all the guides broke off..No really, that Lamiglass looks brand new..i just paired it with a Calcutta 700..but not a TE..just regular 700..it can throw some BOMB casts with the heavy baits.
Tim...i dont have GPS mounted to my boat....i have handheld now.though.full color..and has LOTW chip so i wont end up in the middle of Big Traverse in a rental boat w/ wife!! ha ha.
i guess anyone who has fished w/ me more than once, probably isnt suprised that i had a small over look on the Trolling Motor details..
Push to active.. what does it active? it says Auto Pilot right on it????
