Been down here 3 years and almost never get out to fish. Have fished near the stadium and the TX Ranger museum with no luck, a bit on the Brazos near Brazos East Park with a few fish, and near a few...

I live in Waco. I am boatless for now. I've fished the Brazos and parts of Lake Waco. Have had better luck on the river. Any locals have input on where I should concentrate my fishing? Any...
I had a Sportsman 17 with s Yamaha 90 4-stroke. Good combination, nice cruise and handled very well. If I had had more time for fishing, I would have kept it. I had the Tuff Coat and liked it. Not...
Unfortunately no track system. Flat gunnels, but does not look easy to reach under them so I am going with the deck mount method
Just ordered some Driftmaster pro bases and holders for my G3 Sportman 17. It has aluminum decks. Will I have to use washers or some other backing material for the bases, or is the aluminum strong...
Thanks for the info. I thought Sooner looked bassy, just a pain with all the vegetation in it.
If it is anything like the 5" Striker I got with my boat, run away. No Chartplotter, primitive GPS. Tiny screen. Lowrance 5" shows more, so I would be looking at the 7" Lowrance units, whatever they...
I've never fished Kaw, only crappie fished on Carl Blackwell, and troll a lot on Sooner and Canton. Now that I have a boat with a decent trolling motor, I'd like to chase LMB as well as my standard...
Learned my lesson one week when we had torrential rains and I left the plug in. Rain overwhelmed the bilge pump and I came out to find the boat resting on the engine and water up over the batteries...
Looks nice. Yes, I am on crappie.com
OK, getting used to it. View is much better on plane over 4000 rpm.
Anyone using a filler of any type under the console to brace their feet on? I thought about a cooler, but not sure what type...
OK, maybe just something I need to get used to
I'm 5' 9" and spent most of the day yesterday breaking in the engine on my new Sportsman 17. One thing I noticed though is that the seat is so low the steering wheel blocked the dash mounted fish...
I went a totally different route. May just give up fishing the main lakes and stick to shorelines and coves. Bought a G3 Sportsman 17 with a 90 4-stroke and upgraded the trolling motor to a 70lb...
That looks like one of the ones I remember from a boat show. I'll have to check the cleat setup on my boat
Any suggestions? Got a G3 Sportsman 17, pretty similar to Triton 17 and Ranger 178. Just want to add some rod holders for trolling in back and maybe spider rigging in front without punching holes in...
No rail unfortunately
Giving aluminum a shot. Picking up my Sportsman 17 at Blackbeard Marine in OKC
New G3 Sportsman 17. I'm looking to mount a couple of rod holders for trolling and maybe a couple up front for spider rigging. I really want to avoid drilling holes in the new boat. Anyone got any...
I upgraded to a 5" Garmin Chartplotter and 24v Maxxum 70 trolling motor. Just a hair under $21K
Looking at one with a 90. Decent price when compared to the Stinger 178, let alone the Ranger RT. Almost at the same price as a Tracker 175TXW with a 75 for a bigger boat and bigger engine
Anyone...
Thanks for the correction. I always kind of liked the XTs as well, just did not think much of their 70 hp limit
Is this just a remake of the 176 XT, or an actually bass boat hull? Seems to have lower hp limits than the Nitro X17 and Ranger X175.
Anyone own one? Might be an interesting choice over an 18'...
Someone offered me this in trade for my center console. What can anyone tell me out this year Pantera II and the Engine?
94 basscat pantera II dual console w 95 johnson 200 venom. Supposedly...
Three lakes all about 50 miles or so away, nothing closer you can get a boat on. Call it an hour and 15 minutes each way every nice weekend
