Any updates or news on the stripers?? Mostly interested in nighttime top water action - Appreciate any info as I'm going there 18-23rd
Down here now.. rained out Monday until 11pm. Went out and threw some red fins and had one strike and heard /saw a few more. Doing well on bass and crappie-- filet knife getting the rust beat off...
2014 was last trip. Used to be an annual trip. Got into a few breaking stripers at night in 2014.. Any striper reports ? 304' depth so it should be in the bushes. Anything would be great! Thanks...
Been a while since I logged on but a couple years ago a buddy on here was texting me awesome pics of stripers on Buggs in the fall and winter months. Mostly casting to breaking fish. Would like more...
Agree 100%. This is key! 20+ feet and largest rated horsepower! My F&S is 20'1" with a 175hp and I love the layout of my boat but wish it had 225 to 250 horsepower --
I think the Coral's are...
Just sent you the PM - Looking forward to seeing the pics! Thanks
Crank which part of the lake you guys do the best at? We usually stay at Rudds creek.. Used to camp at Ivy hill when it was open then purchased a small piece of ground not far from the Eastland Creek...
Can't beat the battle those stripers give you!! My biggest of 4 stripers last year was 10lbs. I've heard stories of when 8-14lbers would be in schools the size of football fields breaking during the...
Went down last year for just the 2nd time in 5 years. Used to go multiple times per year. Ivy hill was the best camp ground in the country!! We got into some stripers at night but other than that...
I was looking at the Balzout and they look awesome (appearance and solid) but it's hard to validate $140+ for a mount. I went with the RAM and it seems to be solid. The RAMs look like plastic...
Made a trip to Raystown last year with wife and kids on a camping trip. Heard all the striper stories. I've done a lot of striper fishing but usually down south. I'll be there June 5th to 10th. ...
I've had Mauis, Oakleys, RayBans, and now Costas. I love the Costas. The first pair I bought was when they only had like 4 models and those are still my favorite!! I've since purchased different...
Good Stuff -- Here's a couple from last year -- Lots of trips scheduled this year! Can't wait!

Thanks OMCFOREVER - appreciate your insight.
I've seen some really good paint jobs in this forum and would like to know what specific products people have used and what process is best. My cowl is in great shape and would be just painting the...
I have a 1998 Johnson FastStrike 175 and it has some paint chips/fading down through the shaft and towards the prop. Is there a preferred product out there that I can apply myself? Obviously it...
MacIntosh - Thanks for the feedback. I've read a lot of the previous post but most were not the Motorguide w/ the Pinpoint GPS. I've heard good things about both motors. I think they both have...
Always appreciate your input LiveToDrive76 - Thanks!! I'm probably going to pull the trigger on the Motorguide. I'm confident the foot pedal for the Minn Kota is much better but I'm hoping to be...
Thanks MLANG381 and Pitchin' Paul! Just spoke to a guy with a Xi5 and he is more than pleased with it thus far. I have trips coming up from May 31st to June 10th so I'm going to get my order in...
Yeah I too didn't mean to high jack the thread, just wanted real life review of Xi5.
What's your thoughts on this -- Im replacing an older (2003ish) OMC Johnson trolling motor and the shaft is...
Also did you send in for the $50/rebate??
the shaft was another reason I was going to go with Xi5. they make the 54" and I think that will be best. Funny that the 54" is only .60 more than the 45 on universal mania. Minn kota goes from 45...
Looks great!! Do you think the 45" is long enough for the Fish and Skis?? We usually fish calm to choppy water but lately we've been killing smallies in Erie and it can get a little rough at times......
YELOSUB - did you go with 80# ? Also what length shaft? I'm about to order 80# with 54". Any insight would be great!! Thanks
Not interested in linking trolling motor with graphs so I don't need reviews on the "linking abilities". Would like to hear reviews/opinions on electronic anchor/spot lock, record a track, remote...
