Ron and I went back down to Bull Shoals on Tuesday. Water temp was 62* and it was stained but not muddy. The bite was pretty tough. We caught a few bass and several walleye. We filleted the walleye...
Gary and I put in at the Hideaway marina at about 10:45 yesterday morning. The water temp is still under 60* and it was very muddy. By the marina it was almost zero visibility. Close to Aunts Creek...
I met Gary down at Table Rock after church on Sunday and fished the mid James River area until dark. We never got a bite all afternoon and evening. We couldn't believe it. So.... on Monday we decided...
Gary and I put in near Shell Knob yesterday at about 9:45am. Water temp 52*, air temp mid 40's. Water color was very slightly stained. Found them on main lake and secondary points. Fish were on the...
Still expecting a stronger bite as the water warms up but it just ain't happening, for me. Put in at mid Bull Shoals again and went to all our favorite spots. But could not buy a bite. Ron caught 3....
After a 2 1/2 hour drive, we put in at Lake X yesterday at about 9:45am. Air temp was mid 40's and the water temp was 52*. Water color was pretty skanky with lots of moss around the shore that made...
After all this beautiful weather we have been experiencing Ron and I expected to load the boat Tuesday. Instead we had to work pretty hard to get bit at all. They wouldn't hit an A-rig at all, which...
Ran down to Table Rock after church on Sunday and fished a couple of hours before it got dark. Caught a few throwing an A-rig on inside channel swings in the mid James River arm. Water temp was low...
"If it ain't broke don't fix it." So.... we ran down to Bull Shoals again. Monday was a blizzard but Tuesday was an awesome day to fish. We didn't tear 'em up by any stretch but we did OK. Water temp...
Ron and I had so much fun last week that we had to run back down to the Bull on Tuesday. Water temp mid 40's when we started, almost 50* when we quit about 5:30pm. Water color is still perfect. We...
My buddy Ron and I ran down to Bull Shoals Tuesday and caught a few. Water temp was in the low 40's and the water color was perfect. Most came on a Rock Crawler or an A-rig.....

Finally got a chance to do my birthday trip, three weeks late. Gary and I put in at Hideaway at about 10am thinking the afternoon bite would be better after it warmed up a little bit. Fished main...
My 68th birthday is coming up on Friday. Will try to sneak in a birthday trip very close to that. Hope to post more pictures soon along with a fishing report. See you then.
2023 was an awesome year for sure. Hope you guys experienced the same. I got to spend more time with family, more time with friends, more time with my beautiful wife, and more time on the water...
I stand corrected........again. :doh:
Looks like the hot wires for your trim solenoids. Just make sure the Stratos has the same Mercury 8 pin wiring harness coming from the remote control and you should be ok.
Woo hoo..... nevermind. I figured it out. Allen set screw on throttle shaft. Push throttle only forward. Pop off button. Undo set screw....Pull throttle lever off. Remove face plate with the R and F...
Hey guys..... Please give me a hand at taking this throttle lever off so I can get to my control box. This is NOT a 2000,3000, or 4000. It is, however, a Quicksilver. How in the world do I take this...
I have cleaned and lubricated a couple of them and got several more years out of each one. You might try it just for grins....
Most excellent idea Don..... Will do exactly that.
OK..... that's pretty hard to do on the water. So far we have had to load it back on the trailer with the troll motor three of the last six trips. When we get it back to the garage it fires on the...
I rebuilt this motor back in 2018 and it has given us 5 years of absolutely perfect performance. Now all of a sudden it is refusing to start after fishing for a while. Yes.... I have primed the bulb...
wsmith....Welcome to BBC.... Sorry you didn't feel welcomed... you certainly are... welcome. And.... 99.9% of the guys and gals on here are awesome. Especially Don and Joe. They have helped me with...
I've seen this happen a few times. Its pretty scary.... Voltage regulators were the culprit in two or three of the incidents I was close to. Turns out the best thing to do is to pull the negative...
