I will Chime in on this, as it’s my old tiller. It’s a great piece of equipment and in practically new condition. Whoever gets it will be more than happy.

Sold

I have a MinnKota Maxxum 24v 74lb bow mount trolling motor that’s no longer being used since I upgraded Motor works great and is in good shape. $400 obo

Yeah it’s mint, and hard to find in this condition. They discontinued this series of ranch rifles in 04 IIRC. I’ve seen only 1 other for sale in the same condition. I really Wish the box hadn’t gotten ruined.

My father bought this rifle new in 2001. It has never been fired, and was always kept in its original box until that was destroyed in a move. The rifle is mint. Not a mark on it. The original magazine was separated from the rifle and has a couple of small surface rust marks on it, but they can be cleaned up or just replace the Mag if you are worried about it. I have no interest in it, using sale to fund something else rather than continue to consume space in my safe. $1500 obo buyer pays transfer. In person sale preferred. I am in Monroe County.

Forgot I had These kicking around. Figured I’d put them out there for someone looking to do some plinking. $20/box of 20, I have A case (1000 rounds). no shipping, local pickup only.

Evan wanted to go out and do some bobber and worm fishing yesterday afternoon and evening, so we headed to Honeoye. We went to a couple of spots and hit some bluegills pretty good. Just a few minutes before it was time to head to the launch, he hooked into a pretty good largie, and had a good fight on ultralight tackle.

I tested everything out the other day. Trolling motor worked great, but the graph was blanking out every so often. We did some diagnostics to it and discovered that the switched power I had Connected it to was only putting out about 10 volts, and these units are picky about the power they need. Today I ran Direct power to it and that seems to have solved the issue. I also Put my NMEA backbone together and linked the Ghost to the Carbon. Now I can use the autopilot, and can create waypoints just by hitting a button on the foot pedal rather than bend down to the graph all the time. I also pulled the center seat out of the boat and installed some SeaDeck where it used to be. I usually just have 1 person on the boat with me, and I didnt Want the seat being ruined from people stepping on it to get up on the back deck. At some point I’ll make a quick detach bracket for it so I can Quickly remove or install it. the last upgrade before tournament season is supposed to be here this week. I ordered a tray to recess the trolling motor foot pedal into the deck. Gonna be a little nerve racking cutting my carpet and chopping a big hole in my boat lol.

I’ve seen some stuff about them but haven’t done one yet. Keep forgetting to talk to my buddy and see if he’d like to do one.

We ran drops and neds, only 1 hit on a drop and it wasn’t either of these. it wasn’t all that windy yesterday and we were getting beat up in certain areas. How bad it is will depend on wind direction. Hopefully we get lucky and there isn’t any wind.

Fished Henderson Harbor today with my buddy to start scoping things out for our 2 day tournament in July. We got some pretty good intel and hooked some good ones. I’d like to make one more trip up before the tournament to check some other areas out. Good day overall.

The old trolling motor sold before I had A chance to post it lol. It was a basic bow mount MinnKota. I’m going to sell the old graph as well, that is an old basic Lowrance black and white. I can get the model number a little later.

Trolling motor came in today, graph came yesterday, so I spent the evening taking the old stuff off and installing the new. The NMEA kit that I ordered To connect the trolling motor to the graph for GPS, autopilot (not sure what they call it), and the programmable buttons didn’t come today like it was supposed to, so I’ll install that later. I’ll be on the water tomorrow to test things out. The deck looks a ton cleaner now, which is a nice bonus.

Figured I’d do a little update on the boat now that I’ve used it a bunch. A buddy in the club gave me a slightly upgraded trolling motor a couple of days after I bought The boat. Basically just a more variable speed version of what came with it. It’s been better to control than the original one. Yesterday I ordered the first two of the big upgrades I’ll be doing, a Lowrance Ghost trolling motor and a Lowrance HDS Carbon 7 graph. Eventually this graph will find its home at the console, but for now it’s going up front to tie in with the Ghost. All of the stuff should be in this week or early next week, but I’m really hoping to have them before the weekend. With all of the features of the Ghost, it will be a huge upgrade to the boat. The graph will be nice, but until the next upgrade happens, not a huge improvement. The next thing will be a 9” or 12” HDS Carbon for the front of the boat, move the 7” to the console, and add a new transducer for the rear to enable side scan and a few other goodies. Can’t wait to get the Ghost on for now. Anchor mode, being able to chart automatic routes, and almost 100 lbs of thrust will be great for keeping my mind on fishing rather than fiddling with the trolling motor all the time. I’ll post some pics once it’s all installed. I’ll also have a trolling motor up for sale if anyone is interested. I dont Need 2 extras hanging around.

When did I say Anything about hunting waterfowl with a rifle? Shotguns are semi auto also. As far as shooting running deer goes, I have no issue with it when done in the right circumstances. I have taken multiple running deer over the years. Rinella promotes firearms, he is a brand for guns and ammo.

Took Evan to Honeoye yesterday. We had a great day and both ended up with sunburns lol. Water temps are rising fast down there, 66-68 degrees yesterday. Most of the Smallies were on beds early and then moved to the shade later in the day. A few largemouth on beds as well.

Semi autos are used in many types of hunting. Almost all of them actually. Waterfowl, deer, Turkey, predator, small game, etc etc. I never said they were needed, I said That hunters would be affected by a semi auto ban. I’m not going to continue down this path of thinking with you though. Hunting has nothing to do with the second amendment.

Had a pretty good weekend thing, went to Conesus Friday with my girlfriend. It was her first time fishing since she was a kid, so it was mostly me teaching her things. Between that and trying to fight the wind, I didnt Get a ton of time actually fishing, buts still caught a few and it was a fun day anyway. Saturday we didn’t go to Skaneateles, we went to Buffalo to see if we could hit up some good smallies. Fished all around the harbor, but didn’t come up with much, so we went up the river a bit and got into a few good largemouth, some crappie and rock bass. Towards the end of the day we went back out to the harbor, and Lake Erie was as flat as I’ve ever seen it, but we didn’t have time to head out there.

Where what?

My buddy and I stopped Down there last weekend to check out the launch. It is beautiful for sure. Some of the clearest water that I’ve ever seen. That’s gonna be the challenge I think

Go back and read what I already wrote.

Had a pretty good day at Honeoye yesterday. 15 fish total, most of them were Honeoye specials (2-3.5lb) and I had a 4 lber break off at the boat before I could grab the net. Had a couple of pickerel bite me off as well. Today I’m headed to Conesus and tomorrow is Skanteles to start checking things out ahead of our first bass tournament in June. It will be my first time fishing that lake.

All hunters will be affected by them. That’s my point.

No. If you support gun bans as a firearm owner, you are just accelerating your loss of that right. Semi auto bans are just another step towards complete gun bans. I dont care what line of rhetoric anyone gives me, history shows the pattern. The second amendment is not there to protect your right to hunt. Besides, semi autos have their place in the hunting realm.

I do See what you are saying, but having an opinion and actively pushing for a ban are two different things. If someone just doesn’t like semi auto rifles and chooses not to purchase one, and even voices their opinion without restricting the rights of others, I have no issue with that. In fact, I support That persons right to have and voice their opinion which is different than my own. Supporting, sponsoring or organizing support of a ban that chips away further at the rights of all citizens is different in my eyes. Personally I will Do whatever I can To avoid giving any type of support to someone like that, and will speak out and support groups that try to stop those antis from being successful in installing their agenda.
