Im from the north and I bought my alumicraft 165c new in 03 and have never had a lick of trouble.As rps has mentioned they are great boats and perform well. Good luck with your find

I have a 13 year old alumacraft that i bought new and never used the live well. I use it as dry storage, i keep a cooler with ice for the ones i keep.I dont fish tournements so did'nt need the live well. When on ice i don't have a slime problem and they clean up nice.

I was in a bait shop the other day and met this older feller and he was telling me about fishing at sons creek off of a Hy 39 north of greenfield. I was just wondering if it would be worth the trip or a waist of time. Don't know what to expect is there a launch? or just shore fishing.Either way is fine by me i enjoy whitebass and crappie and THANKS for the input.

I don't like the fact that i have to drill holes in my motor to mount a trolling plate.I have a 16.5 alumicraft V hull with a 75hp 4stroke.I took a piece of nylon rope and tied it from one of my front cleat to the other.Then go under the boat and measure 14in on both sides of the keel.At those marks i tied on two 30in drift socks.And yes you can troll with them inspite of what you heard,i've been doing it for 15yr.The reason for the duel socks is for better steering.I can go from .7 mph on up.They dont get in the way when you land a fish because they are all ways under the boat.The bags i use are Lindys from bp because they are thicker.This system has worked very well for me and if i hit a real windy day i can use them to slow down my drift when i jig for walleyes.

Thanks Blacknoseddace getting it know i'll have to give it a shot this spring.Thank you for your time and patience we all appreciate it.

A note to blacknose. I never used flys like in the picture you show.My question is if you put this under a float would you be draging it back? Or leave it stationary.From the picture it looks like it would hang vertical if stationary. This all may sound dumb but like i said i never have used flys and just wondering.

I don't know where the KC star gets they're report but I've been out on both flats twice a week for the last two weeks.I haven't seen any action on the surface yet. Most of my white bass have been hitting about 3ft off bottom when I snap my walleye rig up and let it drop.Maybe I'm not in the right part of the lake .

I was out thur on the flats fishing for walleyes with no luck but short ones.I reeled in my lines to call it quits and white hammered it so I came up with a thought. I took a 1oz egg sinker with a 3ft lead and a rooster tail and trolled it at 1.5mph 3 to 4 ft off bottom ended up with 7 whites.But as far as anything on surface seen nothing.

I use power pro 10# with a floro leader 10# also works good for me no twist or kink.

This OAF member will be greatly missed God be with you.

That sounds like a lot of work I'm out there for a little RR not fish maintenance. I carry a cooler with ice if I'm going to eat it in the cooler if not back in the lake. I bought my boat new 13 years ago and never used the live well for fish I use it for dry storage.

SLAB that was a great post very helpful THANKS!!!!

willson3144 I never night fished under lights and I was just wondering. You mentioned in your post that you had one light submerged at 15 feet down. my question is if you have one down that deep why do you have a floating light. Can just a floating light be as affective?

Thanks for the info slab slinger much appreciated

I hate to sound stupid but what does a slow death setup look like never herd of it.

When you talk limit are you talking about one species. I'm not from here and back where I'm from it's a combination like a mix of crappie,bluegill,yellow perch,etc. So what I'm asking is if I have 15 crappie and 15 white bass while fishing is that legal?

Here are a few words of thought -------------------------------------------- LIFE IS AN ECHO What you send out-----Comes back What you sow-----You reap What you give-----You get What you see in others-----Exist in you Remember life is an echo it always gets back to you.

BIG-D your right sorry bout that don't know where I got the H from good thing I don't give out direction very often.

you take 215 west out of bona and at the store 215 goes right to state park and if you would go straight that's Hy H and it goes to mutton

The other day I was on my way to mutton creek and I noticed a new ownership sign on that little convenient store where 215 and H connect. I stopped in to check it out and was quite surprised it was clean all new shelves new stock had a clean eating area. I asked if they had minnows they did both crappie and shiners and a full line of baits. Before they didn't open until 7 or 8 o'clock now they were open at 6 am. I bought 3 dozen crappie minnows and I got to tell ya they don't count them. I looked in the bucket and there had to of been over 8 doz. in there. Before this place was kind of trashy but now its nice and clean and convenient.

I know its a lot of work when you have small kids with you. I"ll tell one thing thou it"s well worth it because they will remember it for the rest of there lives.The great dad!!!

crappie magnet-flicker shad and minnows don't fish much in winter

its been awhile but can anyone tell me if the baitshop on the other side of the cc bridge is still open and what time?

Thanks for all the info its all been helpful and makes more sense to me now. I'm from wi. and there all you get is 3 rod total pretty simple. THANKS!!!!

So as long as I label my poles I can troll with 4
