I changed out to a 3 bank charger, I have a dual pro for sale, have had it about 4-5 years, works great, these are not a throw away chargers, they can be repaired if problems occur, asking $100 dollars if anyone around St. louis area and surrounding counties are interested.

Nothing better than spending the night out night fishing, peace and quiet and good fish, problem is changing my time pattern over from working hours, need about 3-4 days to adjust, getting older isn't for sissy's. LOL

sent a pic yesterday, did you get it?

I have a comfortroll recessed tray I am looking to get rid of, new one sells for $130. I bought the new deluxe so I can upgrade to the Ultrex. It’s in great shape, would like to get $50. Anyone interested, here in Washington Mo. Send a PM if interested

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) announces that Cesar Rodriguez of Carthage is now the state record-holder for hybrid striped bass after catching a 21-pound, 11-ounce fish at Lake of the Ozarks May 19. Rodriguez used the pole-and-line method. Though the fish breaks Missouri’s previous hybrid striped bass record of a 20-pound, 8-ounce fish, set in 1986 at the Lake of the Ozarks, Rodriguez wasn’t that surprised when he reeled in the bass. “It was just a normal day out fishing,” Rodriguez said. “Last year I caught a 24-pound hybrid in Oklahoma, but I couldn’t find a game warden to confirm it. So, this catch didn’t come as a surprise that it was a record-breaker.” The fish’s weight was verified on a certified scale at MDC’s Roaring River Hatchery in Cassville. The hybrid striped bass is the sixth state-record fish caught this year. Rodriguez mounted his prize fish, and said he is planning to catch another that will top his even-larger Oklahoma catch. Missouri state-record fish are recognized in two categories: pole-and-line and alternative methods. Alternative methods include: throwlines, trotlines, limb lines, bank lines, jug lines, spearfishing, snagging, snaring, gigging, grabbing, archery, and atlatl.

patlock, what do you think of the set up you have, it is exactly what I have decided to get for the Champion. As far as your SI transducer, did you have to go with the Transducer Shield & Saver spring back bracket on your rig or were you able to use the shield and wedge on the set back or jack plate?

Has anyone used the top water rod from witch doctor rods Surman 50G.

That's a nice load of crappie for sure, congratulations.

I was back in Indian creek Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Usually takes me a half day or so to figure things out but when I did it was all over. Found them in Isolated brush or cover up near the bank, some behind docks, others not, caught most out of just two areas. Seen a lot of people using the spider rig also. Thursday after that front came in they were still there but playing their games a bit but still managed to catch them. Next week with that warmer weather will really get em going.

Nice fish for sure, wish I could get down but out of commission for this spring, what size weight you throw when throwing that swing jig Quill, a light one and working it through the water column or a heavier one and bouncing it along the bottom? The swing jig is one very deadly and versatile set up

Nice fish for sure, congrats for placing yourself

very nice

There are a lot of people that claim the everstart 29dc deep cycle battery is a great battery at a great price. It only has a I year warranty and available at wallmart stores everywhere. $86.00

Call deans and give them your Hull ID number on the back of the boat & email them a picture of the seats

I’m sorry to hear that also, I never met him but talked to him on the phone, he has a lot of people he met at Champion owners tournament through their FB page concerned
