Having to leg surgeries myself has left me with nerve damage and is the reason I went with the auto deploy. It works great for me no longer have to hang over the front of the boat. I have hummingbirds but I don't care for them and I'm going to replace or add a Lowrance. The anchor system is ok not as good as the I 5. Foot control takes sometime to get used to using. I've got about 200 hours on my boat so it has been used. In general I like it and would buy another safety is what it's all about for me. I fish alone a lot and falling over board is not a good option for me anymore. She's dock at state park marina most of the time. Hope that helps.

I have one got it about a year ago. I'll be glad to answer any questions. Or you can come see it if you want. It's a 36 v on a ranger 621.

Nice report I fished dock ends in deep water with no love in the dam area lots of small ones. Did catch a few spots around the docks a couple of keepers all released. That wouldn't of been the case for the gills will try your suggestions tommorow Live and learn. Thanks

I've got company coming in was going to try to entertain them with some blue gill fishing any suggestion would be great. Easiest location is the dam area to get to but would be open to others. Fig on crickets on trout rods. I was thinking 20 -30 ft off deeper docks and just move around catch and release. That's my plan but could use suggestion

That's a horrible mess thanks for the photo.

Thanks a ton for the help it's greatly appreciated I know what you mean about things coming up missing. I may have to just do the load and unload and keep my rig with me for safety sake.

I've got a fiberglass would like to dock it over night 4 wheel rig. Fish the big bass deal.

Great well that's the only ramp I've ever used was afraid of that. I'm stay at Indego so I'll have to look it up.

Thanks for the up date. I normally i use wolf. Just work go this old guy. Launching by myself.

Just wondering how things or on grand after this latest round of heavy rain.

They called the party off. Think it was a good call but I appreciate all the help thanks.

That is interesting. Thanks also keeping a eye on the water levels. I have some spots from past experience but don't think they will be in play under the current conditions and I've always used wolf if it keeps raining may they may cancel this little party but I sure have enjoyed grand the times I've been there.

Thanks a lot for the info it's all much appreciated.

I don't know that much about Ramps on grand and yes I was going to use wolf. I'll be staying at the casino in senica any suggestion would be a help I'll be there this weekend.

Is the lake fish able after all the rain. How bad is it any reports.

Fred is my guy and has been for years. I'd go know where else.

If you need info you can contact Gregg or mark at Soddy daisy bait and tackle. Chickamonga the crappie could be hot if it warms up. Enjoy your trip.

Ha shhhh I was looking myself. Lol but didn't want to interrupt or intruded. I was in the ranger.

What trolling motor and what model birds just wondering I have a set up on order.

Was that you in the green coat think I saw you

Big thing I found on the sunglasses is they need to be vented to keep from fogging up from sweat plus makes them a little cooler. Look at motorcycle type glass just a suggestion

Cost or dollars spent on anything be it a jerk bait or a boat. Depends on the purchaser and there expectation a common line I've heard a million times I should of bought that be it property or a gun whatever. It's a choice and the ability to pull the trigger if it fits your needs and wants plus let's face it a ability to purchase without being a issue for one financially then do what u wish. Now a orange jet ski won't work for me. I'm to old and fat to get on the thing but for some let them have at it.

Interesting idea. More research maybe required.

Bass boat sales or way down so or ski boats the hot deal now or pontoons. Big motors big interiors yes the world is crazy. But it's not just boats it's lots of things planes cars guns just pick a item or toy if you will. Yes family and responsibility first now I'm just waiting on the fishing rig with the a/c and heat option. As much as these motors cost can't believe they don't have that as a included option. The fat lady will sing and I'll get me one of those.

I've been reading this post and I'm not sure if it's a venting post a fishing post or slam the guys who either or trying to make a living in a sport. Or perhaps just about guys who have been blessed with a logo hat or hoodie as a expression of product loyalty. Me I fished the back of the boat flw no way do I want to be a real pro to try to make a living for my family. It's a real job. Local fishing is one thing go drive a thousand miles sleep in a tent or truck camper try to always have a smile and represent ur sponsors to tough for this old man. Wrapped boat it's like a sign come visit with me and let's talk fishing 24/7 or products. I've been involved in issues on the water with these guys. Guess what they all did the right thing. No matter who was the problem. To many eyes so they did the right thing. Sure there's bad apples but it not because they wear a logo. Life is to short to sweat the small stuff count your blessing that u or blessed to get out on the water and safely return to shore. Went to the boat show in Springfield. Lots of logo shirts guides company's and both tournament fishing guys and lots of just guys wearing there logo shirts and hats. In my eyes it fit the occasion. Wannabe nope if I found a logo shirt to fit my big butt sure I would wear it if it fit the occasion why not. Do I have a 80 mph bass boat no way they ride rough and way to scary for me. In a flw boat I just pray and hold on. The experience I've had have been spectacular out of the back but I went for the experience not to make money to make a boat payment or pay for all the rest of the trip expenses. Now it makes no difference if it's nascar flw or anything else sure there's a few wannabes but most or just good old boys or women enjoying a activity be it fishing or anything else. Take a kid fishing who knows he or she may be the next winner of the flw or bass master championship. If I stepped on a toe I'm sorry just count it as a senior moment. Thanks to all the post and posters good reading.
