Thank you everyone for your replies. I haven't been able to check the website for a while because of an illness and because I'm an old dude I forgot I even put the question out there which is basically what I do everyday is forget something! My boat, motor and trailer way less than 2300 lb so I'm pretty certain I don't even need the surge brakes just like a couple of you said. And if I do decide to do something with it I will check with the gentleman in Reed Springs. Thank you again for everyone's help! Chris

I have an old 2001 single axle boat trailer with surge brakes. There hasn't been much upkeep on it in the last dozen years. I am taking the boat out for an out of state trip for the first time in years in April. I know there's a lot of trailer dealers and boat repair shops down here. Are there any good boat trailer repair shops? My surge brakes are shot and my brake fluid reservoir has rusted through to where the cap does not screw on the reservoir on the front of the trailer. My boat is a 17 ft deep v aluminum, I don't think I need the brakes but I would just feel better if I had them. Thanks for your help

thanks kjackson, i stopped looking after 2 days to see if anyone replied and didn't see yours till today. thanks for the info

hello everyone, i normally take some vacation time in april and may for crappie and/or bass. with this crazy weather so nice so early i was wondering if anyone is out going after crappie or anything else. or, is it still too early?

Nice fish! Thank you for the info

Thank you and I will

thank you, i'm not trying to be a smartass, just wanting to learn. besides the obvious on a missing blade, what is the difference between a swimming jig and a spinnerbait? why would you use a swimming jig over a spinnerbait or a spinnerbait over a swimming jig?

thanks for the feedback, seawalls, that's one thing that there is no shortage of

i will give them a try wrench, thank you

thank you wrench, i was hoping that you would reply. i have seen you refer to the red eyed shad in the spring, is that something that you would also try now? this afternoon i caught 3 small bass, 1 on a pointer jerkbait and 2 on a chrome & blue rattle trap.

It's such a beautiful weekend I thought I would go out for a few hours and see if I could find some bass. I see the water temp is around 55 here in the north shore area, in the spring I would be moving closer to the shoreline with that temp, does that go for the fall/early winter also? Should I be in the backs of coves? Thank you

thanks for the reports everyone.....is the buttermilk for drinking or fishing?? i haven't heard that one before but i'll try either😃

Since there is absolutely nothing to do because of all of the new guidelines and rules that are in place right now, I thought that I would try to go out and do some fishing this week. This will be the first time out for me this year and I'm not sure where the fish will be. I thought I would try the Gravois arm starting at the upper end. I hope that you will all follow the rules set by the political bosses and give me some social distancing. If you could let me have about 5 miles of the arm at that end that would be great. Unless of course I'm not catching anything and then I would ask you to give me more social distancing at the lower end of the arm. I'm sure if everyone would pitch in, follow the rules and let me fish the areas by myself with no one else around I should hopefully be able to scratch up a limit even with my basic knowledge and skill. Thank you and God Bless. Seriously though, I hope that you are all in good health and that you stay that way.

I'm starting a petition to outlaw all leaf blowers on the lake. I would rather listen to a politician than those annoying machines all day long. There were 8 kids in my family, first of all we could never afford one of those confounded machines and I don't even think they were around back then anyway, and even if we could dad would of told us all to get our asses out there and rake em. We actually didn't mind doing that 50 years ago, it cleared the yard for us to play kick the can later that night. The only sound that you would hear while we were raking would be us beating the crap out of each other every hour or so. My sister is a year younger than me and she can still whip me easily....... good times

Thank you wrench
