Hope you heal quickly; I’d probably take advice from Cox over FW on this one...😂. Mike

True Randy. It’s all about boat control; you can still get by using the main engine for slow trolling if you get set up properly with drift bags. In fact, in rough water two bags deployed from the bow(one on each side with a harness)and main engine trolling can be your best choice. To your point, however, I almost never use bags because I have simpler solutions in a GPS trolling motor and kicker. And if the wind is howling I am typically on spot lock and casting from the rear deck. Mike

I wipe down with vinegar/water when I put my tin boat up and works like a charm. In my price range too! For the white crud on lower portion of the outboard a weak muratic acid/water solution takes if right off. Mike

Have done so many times...there are variables like wind, trolling speed, and what other features are operating(autopilot, speed control, etc.) with wind being the largest variable. If you are set up correctly you can troll for a long time, quite a bit longer than 2 hours. If you intend to troll using the electric motor it pays to run the largest AGM batteries you can fit(I run 31s). If it is too rough or windy I troll using a 9.9 hp kicker motor and only use the electric for added boat control, but in a good wind I’m usually casting. Mike

Boat flooring

Interesting. Sheeting looks to be about 30% heavier than marine plywood but if you won’t be covering with carpeting, etc. it will balance out to some degree. I wonder if it has been used in this application commercially? Mike -
Are you saying them EPA types best not be digging around for samples in Gravois Mills....? Lots of better place to dig for sure. Mike

Cool - I have seen the specs and a pre-production review; supposed to be a first to market large scale supplier. If I had your hourly rate I’d buy me one.....😂 Mike

I have drawn there and Ryan is correct; I alway set up where I knew the deer would get pushed and never expect a hunter for that reason ( and always saw many...usually least more than humans), but the big deer out there are pretty cagey and are tough to take. I quit applying due to 1) the knucklehead factor, and 2) I have more peaceful places to watch the sun rise or set. Mike

Out of Stock.... boats, life jackets
nomolites replied to Phil Lilley's topic in General Angling Discussion
Without a doubt. I quit 18 years ago after smoking heavily for 28 years - toughest, and without a doubt BEST, thing I’ve ever done for myself. And my family. The first couple months was like being wired all the time due to actual unrestricted blood flow in my body....that eventually settles out and I can do things now I never could or would before. Mike -
I would throw that in a heartbeat - looks like a winner to me! Mike

I like white or translucent with purple and or chartreuse accents - given those choices I’d try alewife. Mike

Look like Hellbenders to me. Mike

I think some cattle operations have made that decisions he now cultivate. Have heard nothing negative about it. Mike

I don’t know of anything that will kill it once established but glyphosphate. I tried multiple selective killers on my lawn, and finally I killed it with glyphosphate and reseeded, heavily. I apply 2-4-D early in the year and overseed shortly thereafter to keep it from getting an opportunity, and apply 2-4-D again late in the year to keep the rif raf out. Seems to work OK, so far so good. Mike

The females are normally suspended in the middle of the spawning coves at half depth right now( i.e. 20’ in 40fow) and you can crank them up with bright colored bandits, warts, flicker minnows and the like. As earlier stated they move in late in the day and back out when sun come up. I will be doing my own research this weekend, but that pattern is normally solid from early April into June. Mike

No question home grown is better, no contest. Can my own in glass and you can’t find that quality in any store I’m aware of - or if you can someone did it just like me and it will cost you an arm and a leg. I have simplified over the years, but don’t intent to stop as long as I’m still physically capable. Mike

Humminbird Helix 7 - Update Needed
nomolites replied to MSUFisherBear's topic in Tips & Tricks, Boat Help and Product Review
Agree with Dutch. Could be the card is not formatted appropriately or your downloaded update is incomplete. You might try formatting the card and downloading the update again....card has to be in place when you power up the unit to boot. Mike -
Nicely done. The jerk bait now has a grip on you. Mike

Speaking of TRL Fishing Tournaments . . .
nomolites replied to TableRockBoater's topic in Fishing Events
..and that is a true story on LOZ. I have seen some things torn up by those caught unaware. I try not to be that guy...but over time dings happen with the number of docks on the lake and the washtub effect of so many boats. Or should I say ships. Mike -
You are in easy range of Big Creek, Shoal Creek, and the Sugarloafs. I don’t know what the level will be but there will be tons of flooded buck brush and that’s where I would look first. Depending on lake level the back end of E Sugarloaf could be good, but all those creeks have something to offer this time of year. Mike

Bet that one had him calling for the net.... Mike

Try this with your 4-stroke
nomolites replied to fishinwrench's topic in Tips & Tricks, Boat Help and Product Review
I hate that place. Nope, not me. Mike -
I didn’t know there was any other way of doing it. 🙄 Mike

I put 300k on one and never had an issue other than O2 sensors failing. Have you replaced plug wires? I’d start there. Mike

Ever try fishing with a fly rod on opening day or early morning in the bait area? Too many people completely unaware of the space envelope required for a fly fisherman. Or they just don’t care. Safety is an excellent reason for a fly only section of stream. Mike
