Quick question for you. I have a '14 combo similar to yours and I am interested in adding a second trolling motor battery. On your boat, what is the battery configuration? In other words, where are the two deep cycle batteries located? It doesn't seem like there is room for a second battery in the vicinity of the current one. Thanks in advance.
I fished the Glaize today with fair success. Caught several dinks and three keepers, including a 21 1/2" six pounder. Also caught a half dozen drum on the bass jig. Water was dirty but fishable just past the military recreation complex. That same area was producing crappie as well.
Works both ways but I prefer to keep the lead head on the outside and add a touch of super glue and the tube will last for a limit of fish. I also like to tie the jig to the line with a loop knot. The loop knot, for me, results in more hook ups and usually the hook ends up in the top of the crappie's mouth.
I have been fishing the Ned Rig on LOZ from pre-spawn through early June and find it to be a very effective shallow water bait. I fish a standup jig and 5" stick bait a lot as well and catch about the same ratio of keepers to shorts, although I do catch a few more drum on the Ned Rig. I don't think you catch fewer big fish, just more shorts. I anticipate using the Ned Rig less as fish move deeper on points and around bluff ends. I would like to hear from those who fish LOZ through the summer months with the Ned. Is there an effective summer-time pattern with the Ned on LOZ?
Looking for an older (pre-2008) Navionics card (that includes Missouri and Arkansas lakes) for my Eagle FishElite 502c iGPS (same as Lowrance). It is a 1 Gig card (newer ones are 2 Gig). Also have the Canadian version for swap or sale. Thanks.
Freelancer, I highly recommend. It is a site with access to good info. I also see plenty of evidence that Bob is a "good listener" and is working hard to make the site even better.
I like my Tracker Pro Guide 175 Combo. Handles rough water well and plenty of room on front deck. The combo adds some versatility for family water sports.
