  1. Thats a good day.That rain must have really cooled the water down, I saw 54 last Wed. before the rain up the James. And they were munching cranks shallow
  2. Who all pre ordered their new PP Troller only $4999 without a built in transducer. Ive watched a few videos and it really doesnt have anymore features than the others trollers other than reverse to clear out weeds. Like all the others they claim to be the quietest, most powerful... I do like how small and compact it is
  3. I havent seen many shad in the river this year,I assume that why im not seeing the birds. Im mainly speaking of the James: Flat area. Eagles are thick though
  4. I figured they would be munching today, caught a whole bunch of short fish with just 2 keepers. We were way up the James and Flat. We had a tournament out of Cape today and looked like most the guys who had limits did not go up the river. 16 boats and 14-5 to win today. Lots of fat spots weighed in, i think 3 or 4 LM over 4lbs
  5. He made a post a couple weeks ago saying he was closing up shop and trying to use up the materials he has left
  6. Im gonna guess Net Bait makes them, they look like a Paca Craw
  7. I found a Black and Blue jig once, it looked new. That weekend i won a tournament with it and the next weekend another win with it.
  8. https://bait-wrx.com/products/pur-kleen-descaler-32oz I tried this stuff when the old lews store was pushing it and everyone talked about how good it was. I found it did not work what so ever on my engine, and it really isnt horrible with water spots.
  9. Ive only hooked a few on the stinger hook myself. Last year had a 5.02 on just the stinger so even if it is rare i always use one if im in a tournament
  10. The loop goes through the eye of the spoon then the hook goes through the loop and cinches down.
  11. I put them up by the line tie on my 5" flutter spoons
  12. Can you make anything like this. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/gamakatsu-g-stinger-trailer-hook?hvarAID=shopping_googleproductextensions&ds_e=GOOGLE&ds_c=BPS|Shopping|Smart|Fishing|General|NAud|TopPerf|NMT&gclid=CjwKCAiAxP2eBhBiEiwA5puhNbYeoXTaamwRMW3IwtX6IcBXXtlOfPV9jBTARoU3bNeaLH9mp4wkTBoCoeAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds I tried out of some 60lb braid and it just doesnt work for me, i want them in 2/0
  13. Buy a dual console Bass boat, put one of those little Ski poles on the back and tell the wife its a Fish N Ski. You will be much happier and it will hold its value longer. I remember growing up a buddy had a fish n ski and it was horrible to fish out of, no where to put rods or tackle. Wasnt much fun to ski behind either, and rides the same as a normal bass boat
  14. I noticed this year around Springfield they actually would run plows 3 wide down the highways and even saw a couple of the plows they tow behind the plow trucks. I dont think i ever have seen that this far south mainly when i was working in West Kansas and Nebraska. I think overall they got things cleared up way better than i ever remember before
  15. I know what you mean, i went to get another one last summer and just didnt like the feel so i settle for a cheaper Shimano that works just fine for what i wanted
  16. I use them on a few of my set ups, I just like them so i dont bruise my stomach from setting the hook. Im a big fan of the Fenwick HMG's, i have a few and they are great
  17. I couldnt agree any more with this. And Yes Jeremy Lawyer must have a huge freezer or eat crappie every single day. I follow him on facebook too and i know what ya mean
  18. My boat has a grab handle on the side of the console, it is handy. I remember when i had my tracker i would pull up on the wheel not thinking and the whole console would move back
  19. I swear i was getting ready to say the White grill is about as good as a quick burger can get, there and Cafe B-29. The original Bumstead burger
  20. I drove by the new Whataburger in Ozark at around 4. double line in the drive through and cars all the way out and waiting on the road. Meanwhile the Wendys and Freddys were empty
  21. Looks like a fun day. I dont really understand how Livescope is making the lake busier. Livescope has been around for 5 years. I personally dont know anyone who has started going to the lake more because of electronics
  22. I had no clue Whataburger had such a following until i saw them making a flow chart on the news for traffic opening day.
  23. Ever since ive owned a boat for about 9 years, i have done a lot of trolling for walleye using the troller. I always noticed batteries would work great for about 6 months and then they wouldn't last near as long. Take them and get them tested and they would test good. But during a normal day fishing bass, crappie or whatever just not pulling cranks the whole time you would never notice a deficit. My last set of Duracells would only last about 2 hours of constant trolling before they were done. They still tested good. Got a set of Lithiums, hopefully the hype is worth it. I trolled hard for close to 6 hours on them the first trip out and they were great.
