helpfull place the Reel Docter
 
been having a problem with my fish tv, not getting a pic on the screen when its down the hole, so i took it into the Reel docter. he explained to me why the camera was not putting a pic out and how to set it up so it would work.

he could of taken my camera in set it aside and gave me a call in a couple days and charged me for repairs and i wouldn't have had a clue(be nice honda) but he didn't. and in this day and age speaks volumes about a guy.

he has a good supply of extras for your icefishing cameras too. bought a nice case to put my camera in and i'm going back friday for a few more little extras. had a nice auger too that may find its way home with me next month..:lol:

I think I was about 12 or 13 when that place first opened and I remember that the guy who owned it was buying used reels for parts. I grew up well under the poverty line and my parents werent very supportive of my outdoors enthusiasim so my fishing gear was pretty junky. I had a box full of absolute garbage reels that I had been canabalizing to try and keep a working reel on my rod and and it just wasnt happening. I called him up and told him I had some busted reels for him and I needed some money for a new reel. That guy drove all the way out to Millet on a sunday night, asked me how much I needed and then gave me 40 bucks so I could get a new reel even though the box of reels was probably worth less than what he spent on gas driving there. I'll never forget that, heck of a guy.
