Hey Kajun, lotsa folks from my old stomping ground on the site now. I grew up in Va Beach and I too miss the stripper seson. But when you join me down here in Florida it'll give us a chance to add some new members down here. I've got a couple of guys to join down here. Maybe we can hook up at eihe place, your ofrt mine and do some serious feeshin!

Your gonna be on the panhandle I see, they do a lot of redfishin, snook, etc. I'm sure you'll see some water boiling and birds working there too!

Bringing the V20?

Re: I just can't win!!
 

yea MJ..shouldnt be hard to change..just sucks..another $100+ though..

ah ok franco...thats right i remember ya inlet post now.....i dont have a V20 yet...i'm working on that though ;D i dont think they have snook in the panhandle but lots of red's and specks....only thing is the limits in florida is so ridiculous its almost not worth it to fish for them...1 red...5 specks?


i just pulled the steering cable out.. how do you measure these to order another one?....its 12ft from cable end to cable end...13ft with steering bar included......

Unfortunately, that's what you have to do when species are overfished like our trout and reds. When you register your boat in Florida, it'll be one of the 947,000+ registerd boats in the state. We have now surpassed Mich. and Ca. This doesn't count the tourists that trailer their boats into Florida. You can also catch grouper, Snapper and Cobia to name a few. You can fish at Sebastian inlet and catch flounder up to 17 lbs. These are all great eatin inshore fish. Where we fish, any of these species are available year round. You can also snorkle for scallops, run a couple of crab traps and dive or snorkle for lobster. You're making a great move. Hurry up, we're waiting for you.

Hey Kajun ............ ya won't be missin the jailfish when there's a King Mackerel stripping 80 yds of line off your reel ........... the panhandle has some GREAT fishin ....... and don't forget those St John's river bass ..........

Sorry to hear about your boat problems ......... but isn't that the definition of a boat :-/ ;D

Re: I just can't win!!
 

The cable should have a number on it if it is teleflex?? If not I would go from end to end.

Re: I just can't win!!
 

i couldnt find one MJ... i called a local shop they said its a 13ft.. they have them on hand for $139..it comes with a new rotary box and cable....they dont sell them separate.

With the addition of your jackplate, do you think it'll be any easier to remove and install?
