The pros have enough tips and pre tournament info to go to a new lake, drop the trolling motor, and start looking. Lithium batteries have changed this game - they can ride around on 10 for days...
Thanks - spent a lot of time trying to figure out the most versatile set up. I'm enjoying it so far.
^^THIS^^
Spot on.
Early days lol. Does anyone really think these guys show up cold on a lake and learn more about it in 2 days, than guys that have fished it for years? They can say what they want, but they all have...
I did this exact switch this year. It's basically a 23 foot bass boat, set up for tournament fishing, but does a great job taking the family striper or bluegill fishing. I like being able to stand in...
Amen. Dude is a lot more athletic than I am. Likely this wasn't the first time, and he's sick of this crap just like the rest of us that live in suburban areas are.
Emboldened by a lack of real consequences, and laws that favor civil judgements against homeowners that defend their property. It would be nice to live somewhere where we didn't have to live with a...
I have a longer center console aluminum, set up for tournament bass fishing. It is basically a long bass hull - low sides, and feels like a typical bass boat. I really like it. I like being able to...
I think our pilots had some fun tonight. Looks like the US and Jordanian pilots shot down most of the slow moving drones before they ever got to Israeli airspace. I'm not a pilot, but I bet taking...
A) Been in that position. Older now, and back in a center console. Still fish tournaments locally, but I enjoy taking grandkids striper fishing.
B) If you need a great used boat in the 30k range,...
I think I found my issue - there was a sliver of wood wedged between the rotating head, and the metal housing. I was able to extract it, then run the unit without it making the noise. Hope that fixes...
I guess if I have to do that to use it, then I'll probably not have it on there. Disconnecting it, and storing it safely, would be a bo go for me on every change of location. It needs a better design...
I've been running the boat roads there in big swells, and topped one to see about one foot of stump sticking out of the water in the bottom of the swell. That place can be treacherous when the wind...
Will check that when I get home. I've noticed it jiggles a lot just going down the highway. Definitely something that could have happened.
Fishing yesterday, 360 working fine, then I began to notice a rhythmic thumping noise. At first I thought it was like a base stereo thumping, a d I could actually feel it under my feet, then I...
Ikon makes a needle nose with a beveled tip. Pretty awesome how precise it is.
Had another experience after I sold one boat and hadn't bought another. A member of this board asked me to fish the back seat of his boat in our club tournament, on a lake I knew well and he had no...
I drew a guy fishing his first open as a boater, and he overslept on day 1. I sat in my truck waiting and watching everyone take off, then he came tearing in, and I jumped out of my truck and threw...
Look at them mega cable from Ram, and buy an air mattress made to fit in the cab. It makes for a pretty nice sleeping area, provided it isn't hot. That, plus a battery powered fan will make things...
Yes multiple videos of him buzzing other slower boats. I'm guessing he knows them, or someone would have posted his obituary by now.
The only altercation my son has witnessed me being in was over...
I require my cos to provide proof of swimming ability. I can't swim a lick, and I'm counting on them.
Been boating and on water my whole life and can barely float, much less swim. Being in the...
No logical reason to be cutting corners in that situation. I really think this guy thought he was going to pass the guy in front of him at some point. Why not just run in his wake if you're driving a...
I didn't say he wouldn't think it was worth it lol
I wouldn't mod a truck at 142k miles. No way. That truck is running great in happy land. It's like giving a 90 year old viagra and a 30 year old girlfriend - he may find out things about his heart...
Will be someone else's problem. I rotate them every 100k or so. I maintain them perfectly because I sell some of my trucks to my son when I'm done, for use in his construction business. He has one of...
