Single lane boat ramps in southern Michigan + boaters from Chicago that launch once per year to dock at their lake house == a long day when getting back to the ramp in the afternoon.

My dad has a 17’ Ranger as well and he has a Tacoma (2013?). No trouble towing or stopping whatsoever. We’ve towed my 19’ Bass Cat with it occasionally and it does fine with it as well. It uses quite...

I like the Xtreme Bass Tackle tubes. They have a nice color selection and seem to get bit.

My dad repowered with a 115 Suzuki on his 175 VS Ranger in 2020. It’s definitely slower than the 125 Mercury he used to have but it runs flawlessly, is quiet, and sips gas. Hull shot isn’t amazing...

I wouldn’t try Pipestone. The ramp is in really bad shape.

For those of you using the go-jacks, how much time approximately does this add to the process to put your boat away? Is it worth it to you to use the go-jacks with a dual axle compared to using a...

They do really well in the Orkin commercials.

The real money in college fishing is in the NIL deals. And make sure to red shirt so you get your fifth year of eligibility.

All I know after watching the final day weigh-in is that B.A.S.S. is really pushing the “dream” narrative to “grow the sport”. To me a 300k grand prize for the Super Bowl of the sport in this day and...

Based on your profile I’m assuming you’re on Diamond in Cass County. Whatever choice you go with, a hydraulic jack plate would likely be worth it’s weight in gold so you can get up on plane while on...

That’s good to keep in mind regarding the wheel dollies. It seems that there’s a pretty even split between the 18 TRX being used with a single axle vs dual axle. I’d also be interested to hear...

Does anyone know if this applies to the new version of the Pantera Classic as well regarding trailer fit? I’ve seen a couple riding on single axle trailers and wasn’t sure if this is the same single...

I saw the post title and assumed Lake Michigan 100%. I used to fish Monroe quite a bit in college and would love to know where/how it was caught out of curiosity. Next will be the record spot!

Assuming you looked at the 18 TRX in person, did it feel any bigger than the Caymas? Have you had it in rough water? One of the main reasons I’m convinced on the Triton is that it appears to have the...

Hi all, I’m looking to upgrade to a newer 18-19 ft boat. I need something that fits in my 21’ side stall garage so I need a boat on a single axle trailer. I fish the great lakes as well as small...

Regarding the OP, it’s a hard distinction to make regarding electronics that help you find fish vs electronics that help you catch fish. I can pick out individual fish on 2D sonar and vertical drop...

I have a 10” Humminbird at the bow with 360 and mega live. I run 80/20 mega live / map typically. I have an 8” humminbird at the console for mapping and side imaging linked to the bow. Everything was...

My garage is a side stall and 21’ deep and my 19’ boat takes up two stalls and can be pretty annoying to maneuver into place. I can’t even imagine an 18’ deep garage. I’d keep in mind that newer...

This was along the Indiana shoreline of Lake Michigan so it’s the Indiana state record. It’s been broken several times in the last few years, and each time has been late in the year when they move...

I have a 91 PII and replaced the hardware and carpet on the bunks when I purchased it in 2020. I believe the bunks had been replaced at least once already before I owned the boat. The lag bolt holes...

If you could get deck length measurements on the 18 TRX to compare to the Phoenix it would be much appreciated!!

Thanks for the detailed response! That makes a lot of sense.

That’s great to know and really helps with my analysis when choosing my next boat. Thanks!!
