It really depends on the size of the body of water you fish, my home water is the Potomac River and trust me you'll be thankful for a bigger boat when the wind starts to blow, throw in wakes from the...

If you can afford it, pay someone to do it, I wish I had, HUGE pain in the a--.
I probably put in about 60 man hours to do mine, also spent about $600 on carpet, glue, tools and supplies.
It turned...
Get to the ramp yesterday and find a washer on the boat deck up front by the trolling motor, I'm wondering where did that come from?
Didn't take long to figure out that one of my trolling motor...
Good luck finding a shop in N-VA willing to take on a re-carpet job, back in 2015 I called at least a dozen places and only found one place (I don't remember which) willing to do it and they wanted...
Even with the lakes 45mph speed limit this happened, I've been on it a few times and it gets pretty narrow in spots and crowded in the summer.
I'm surprised you managed to land it, I've hooked them on the Potomac in 10 to 15 feet of water and never managed to get them off the bottom using 12lb test, you know it's a cat because of the death...
Its been 9 days since I started this thread and gas has went up another 30 cents a gallon, if this keeps up I'll only be able to get out a couple of times a month.
May be time to come out of...
Yep, tube trailer only, I talked to a salesmen at Basspro about it, deal killer for me fishing the Potomac River, in the summer the salt line can make its way up river and become somewhat brackish.

After retiring 3 years ago I was fishing at least 2 - 3 times a week until recently, $4.50 a gallon gas has really limited my outings, it runs me about $50 between the truck and boat for each outing...
There's still a bit of floating junk at the entrance to Mattawoman Creek from the rain 2 weeks ago, nothing major but I did slow down quite a bit to navigate thru it, once out on the main river its...
Water levels up in Washington DC are currently running about 3 feet above normal:

Very disappointing, I had a great bite...
I have Liebroc seats I installed in 2015 and they still look great, very well made. I second having them send you some fabric samples, I just used the color pallets on their website and I didn't get...

Daiwa BG, $109.99 in the 2500 size, aluminum frame and side cover, not super light though - 9.3oz
I wouldn't be surprised if a large portion of claims is mishandling on the part of owners, the good part is St. Croix will still make good on the warrantee. Several years ago I closed my rod locker...
I talked to a St. Croix rep today, a new Legend Elite is on it's way, $50 which includes shipping, I'm a happy camper!
I removed all the Fuji line guides from the broken rod, they're the ones with...
I thought the same thing, my Legend Elite spinning rod snapped about 15" below the tip while casting a small creature bait with a 1/8 oz weight, I was shocked, not what I expected from a $400 rod.
...
The rep mentioned something about their sales increases resulting from an additional 9 million anglers during the pandemic, not sure about the statistics but you never know.
I got the sense their customer service people were definitely local, none of the accent associated with an off-shore call center.
I just got off the phone with a St. Croix service rep concerning a warrantee claim for a Legend Elite spinning rod.
First the good news:
They have thrived during COVID, production has been...
I've had a Mercury remanned power head on my 1998 200 EFI since 2006 and it has been flawless, I can't remember what caused it to originally fail, but I do recall the shop addressed the failure mode....
Holy crap I just watched a video of these Wake Boats, I had no clue these boats existed or the whole wake surfing was a thing, I have never seen these things on the Potomac River. The wake those...
That makes sense, I actually purchased a new primer bulb along with the fuel line from the bulb to the motor, the shop owner installed the bulb end for me and mentioned what a pain in the ass it was...
The newer fuel line (gray with blue lettering) is apparently only ethanol resistant, stuff that I replaced about 3 years ago on my 1998 200EFI recently collapsed, the clear plastic lining on the...
