Trying to keep tabs on Newton. We're not down there for another two weeks, but I imagine things maybe slowed down a bit with the recent cold. Any reports out there?
Sounds about on par from my past experiences despite the warmer spring. I know this lake is really not dependent on water temps like people seem to think. But I would imagine these fish really...
Anyone hit it recently? Would like to wake up my motor a bit, otherwise will just stay local next Friday.
I will likely be ordering new end of year or early 2025, but I figured I'd throw out and bump a feeler in the BBC community. Needs to be a 90hp or less due to my lake restrictions.
Keep the reports coming. Curious how an early spring might affect the lake. In years past, we've always gone down end of March, but seemed to always be a touch early for pre-spawn. Made the decision...
Heard blah reports. Usually numbers, but I didn't hear as much size this time around.
Good luck to all those braving the crowds tomorrow. Hoping for some nice reports!
Good to hear the quality still swims there. That's a special place for a group of us. Normally we head down in March, but opted for the 2nd weekend in April this year. Sadly, I worry we'll miss the...
Thanks for the setup pics. I went ahead and ordered the boatlogix offset mount simply for adustability. A bit pricey, but I'll get some photos up once everything is finalized.
Yes I think I'll need to stick with a 12 and 10 and have them offset versus having 2 12s. Even then it may be pushing it. Boatlogix has an offset mount that should potentially work.
Anyone planning on getting out opening day? Hard to believe it's around the corner. I'm off Fridays but feel like it'll probably be even more wild than normal so I'll sit this one out. Maybe the...
Looking for specific additions for a future project. No current rush to buy, so if you'd prefer to liquidate, I would be willing to slowly acquire these pieces.
Humminbird Helix 12 Mega DI G3/4...
No intention to hijack, but those that have chimed in, I have a space limitation at 20'8"
I know I'd need to modify the trailer on the Stinger 178, but wanted to entertain something like the Ranger...
For those with the RT188, what exactly is the storage length? My garage is very tight, but this is still an option for me. Is there any ability to modify the trailer in moving the winch assembly to...
Those of you with 2 graphs (10"+); how are you mounting them related to your trolling motor? Currently am on the fence between ordering a Lund 1775 Renegade and Lowe 178 Stinger, both with...
You're right, I guess I didn't realize that while trying to make this work. Nonetheless, with the precision sonar mount at the base of the shaft, it's offset that transducer approximately 4-6" from...
I figured this would be more of a HB thread as my Livescope is already installed on my Terrova. Being that this is extremely specific, I wasn't able to find anything related to my situation. I'm...
Wanted to resurrect this thread as I continue to browse listings. Looking to upgrade my little tracker, but am hesitant to get more than a 25 for Newton's sake. For those with 17'+ tin boats and...
I'll be devil's advocate here. Unless you want to be totally hands off, I would just consider doing the minimal service without disassembling. Old toothbrush scrub with a degreaser, dry, grease the...
Physically, are these motors the same size? I wasn't sure the differences between the two. I'd imagine if they have the same block, they weigh approximately the same as well? I wasn't sure if the...
Hi everyone,
Looking for a recommendation on a person or company that can replace boat carpet with SeaDek in northern Illinois. I'm trying to get an idea on cost. Thanks!
Long story regarding my local lake regulations, but need to chat with folks who have this particular motor. Please PM me.
We had a tough time this last week. Came down Wednesday and fished Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday morning. Temps dropped and they got a ton of rain. Fishing was tough, and about the...
Hoping to hear another couple optimistic reports this week/weekend. I'm headed down next Wednesday.
Interested to hear the reports too. But in their defense, they're probably all still on the water since it's been the perfect day!
