I lived in Buford, Ga. for over 3 years, Lanier was way cooler than LO.....until you wanted to catch fish. The biggest bass I caught there was barely over 2 pounds. The night time striper fishing around the lights is kinda cool, so I hear.

Sounds about right.

They will just take the same "size restrictions" as LOZ has, in the sense that size is limited by the roads.... If the roads are big enough to haul it in then it's not too big for the lake.

Genuine, meaning that it is going to require some disassembly to see what the issue is. Best case scenario= 200.00

Nope that's not normal. You may have a magnet loose in the motor.

Good deal! Will be giving them a try in the morning.

First check voltage at the plug to make sure you have 24v to the motor controls. If so, pull the prop and make sure there isn't a buildup of fishing line/rope/ect. and that the drive pin is intact. If everything is good there then you have a genuine problem. I'd be happy to look at it for you....but I'm headed to the river and won't be back until Monday AM.

Sounds good.

He might be, but I have yet to tell a lie. I don't believe I've even exaggerated.....about ANYTHING. So yeah, whatever. I'm not assuming that I'm always right, but I know dam well that I'm not wrong near as often as you guys say I am.

I can say the same about you and the gigging thing. I have seen more dead bass behind gigging boats than I have seen hanging on a stringer tethered to a yak or canoe. It's true. Guess it depends on what river you're on. Is Sugar cr. big enough to float a gigging boat? If not then maybe THAT is the reason they were able to have that good of a day in their yaks.

I'm perfectly happy as a silly hillbilly livin' in my shack. I prefer that City folk think I'm slower than I really am, works out great for me. 😉 I think the correct term is "sandbagging".

Kinda like Musky fishing, ain't it ? No it's worse. At least when casting your arm off for a Muskie you might get a follow, some genuine interest in what you're trying to sell. With the MDC all you're likely to get, if you're lucky, is a pretentious refusal.

I'm one of those that just can't sit in front of a TV for more than a few minutes unless it REALLY captures me right away. So as soon as it isn't going to bother someone I'd love to hear/read some spoilers.

I seldom if ever see kayak/canoe anglers with a stringer of bass or trout. Goggle-eye more often, but even that is rare. Bank fishermen and guys in Jon boats are a whole nother story, as they often are toting a few. I haven't spent much time in a yak (maybe 4 hours total) but I would think that keeping a mess of fish while yakking would be a pain in the butt. Tried paddling back with 2 limits of white bass on stringers and it was like dragging an anchor, we finally had to just lay them inside the canoe so we could get back to camp.

The argument about gigging that you always dismissed was that gigging doesn't just get a bunch of 12 inchers....it typically results in a bunch of dead 15-20 inchers. Not to mention that it is totally illegal but very seldom policed. Your position, as I understood it, has always been that it doesn't happen as much as we say it does so there's no urgent need for investigation. I always figured that for every illegal gigger I've seen (or seen evidence of) there are probably 4-6 that I don't. I think that's a pretty safe assumption.

Well they (MDC) are asking for ideas and input on regs now, I just saw something a couple days ago saying that they wanted input.....to which I went "pfffft" about and swiped it aside because I'm under the impression that "angler input or concerns" has never changed anything before. But maybe I'm wrong, so send them your ideas and concerns. Can't hurt I reckon. I still haven't gotten a reply to my well thought out and perfectly composed concerns about the outrageous number of tournaments on LO....and what has it been now, almost 5 months ago? Yeah y'all can tell 'em what's up, but I'm not gonna waste my time.

My daughter and I could have decimated a local creek a few days ago. The fish were keyed in on all the beetles and were seriously competing against anything buggy looking that landed in the water. She had a black Sneaky Pete, and I had a brown & chartreuse Club Sandwich Hopper. The fish were absolutely going nuts for both of those offerings. We could have easily demolished the bass population of a 2 mile stretch in a single evening.

Those do look great, but for the life of me I can't find a niche for them in my fishing escapades. I thought they'd be the bomb during Fall when fish are hanging under the docks, bit while they do catch fish I don't feel that they outperform a spinnerbait or just a plain swim jig. Where are y'all throwing these things, and when?

Yep! Even if the fish all live through it, hauling them around all day/nite is stupid.

Is that a coon dog, or a goat ? Either way I think it's safe to profile here.

To eliminate clean up, 3"mag #6 does the job.

What difference....at this point...does it make?

Really??? Where I'm from a gal that will happily drive an old dented Chevy with bald tires and stained/ripped seats is about as low maintenance as it gets. Hell I just spent 167.89 and spent 3.5 hours replacing a window regulator on a Jeep Liberty so I could have MY truck back......cuz there's NO WAY IN HELL SHE'S GONNA BE SEEN ANYWHERE IN A VEHICLE THAT HAS A PIECE OF DUCT TAPE HOLDING THE WINDOW UP !!!! I mean God forbid!

Since I appear to be the accused in this case I'm going to take my lawyers advise THIS TIME and excersize my most important right. Keeping my freakin' mouth shut. 😏

Low Maintenance! What's wrong with that?
