The TRDs are great. I can catch 40 smallies on one. I like the trick shotz for drop shotting and that's about it.

Great post. Nobody "has to put in their time". Just as with other sports, some people are just good, even without a lot of practice. With the new Elite qualification through the Opens, anyone who...

Kind of not really. The Ulterra just raises and lowers the motor. If I have a longer shaft Ulterra and I'm fishing docks, the head of the trolling motor is going to be really high out of the water...

Agreed.

Agreed. I bought my boat in 2019 and did not realize how lucky I was at the time. I can't see a new boat in my future. I may just repower this one down the road as long as it remains structurally...

Now that trolling motors come with remotes, a telescoping shaft would be nice, instead of having to manually raise and lower it depending on the depth of water/wave action you find yourself in.

That's a good video. Thanks for posting. It seems to make a decent argument for shorter rods and slower gear ratios. I have found that Active Target has also really helped me understand what my...

How much do they cost? The ads make them seem pricy.

Totally agree. I'm a 34/36 and they never have them in a store. Thankfully the Amazon return process is easy, and it has made finding jeans that fit, a lot easier. I also find it difficult to find...

I just switched to Progressive in December. Speaking with the representative over the phone, I feel comfortable with their on-the-water towing package, along with roadside assistance package. Off...

I haven't been out yet due to trailer issues, but use this website and use the Lake Erie data set: MODIS - Coastwatch Great Lakes Node (noaa.gov)

I'm happy for you. Mine is supposed to ship today. Hopefully it only takes a few days to get here because I am missing out on some fantastic fishing right now. I figure once I get it, I still have...

We had smoky skies in southern Michigan for a lot of our summer last year because of Canadian fires. I'm hoping for the sake of everyone that things are better this year.

I would make sure everything is structurally sound, and if so, repower. With the price of new and used boats, a repower can save you a lot of money. Plus, you don't have to worry about what the...

We went walleye jigging on the Detroit River. Started around 11:30. I had my limit by 11:46. The first drift was lights out. We caught a bunch of short fish and managed our four-man limit by about...

With all the trouble they have with that power steering system, I would just make the conversion to hydraulic. It will cost you, but you won't run into this problem again. I can't see it getting...

Good for him. I love a fish fry, but I'm always looking for healthier ways to eat the fish that I catch and keep. I can only eat so much fried food.

I would hope they have more dredging to do. 2.5 FOW at the docks is not much considering how much the lake level fluctuates. It would be nice to see 6-7 FOW.

I'm currently down, waiting for a new axle that's supposed to ship on April 11. I probably would not have bothered to fish Monday but a friend of a friend is going and I got an invite. When your...

Is anyone going to be fishing during the eclipse in or near the path of totality? I will be lucky enough to be out jigging for walleye on the Detroit River that afternoon. We'll be in 99% coverage,...

I have three smaller boxes for terminal tackle. One has all of the Lake St. Clair terminal tackle like drop shot weights, hooks, tube jigs, and Ned heads. One has all of my swimbait hooks along...

This is a great response. I love to fish, but I love to fish when I want, where I want, and in the weather that I choose. The idea of being a touring pro, guide, charter captain, etc. just seems...

Thanks guys. The rhino liner is a great idea. I just watched a youtube video on replacing the axle and it looks pretty basic. Anything with the brakes will be the more technical aspect of the job.

I hate below the reel but it seems more and more common.

So Sunday afternoon I lost a bearing on my way home from the Detroit River. I didn't know until I was a few miles away from home and stopped at a gas station and saw grease all over my rim. I...
