  1. I used the lock n haul for several years. It is a good unit but I let it go with the boat. Now I use the My Wedge.
  2. I forgot to list it but I did swim a grub around deeper water. Dinks were the name of the game there also.
  3. We decided to try the Rock Thursday for a change and see if we could get some quality fish. We had a good SE wind with clouds and used a variety of baits. We wound up catching 22 bass but most were dinks. We used A rigs, worms, spinner baits, crank baits, jigs, and jerks. Most of the fish were on jerks close to the bank. Bluffs, points, rocks, gravel, cuts, etc. We just couldn't find quality fish.
  4. It turns out that I did not have to make a decision on brands. I want a red one and Keelguard doesn't seem to offer on so Keelshield it is.
  5. wrench I had one on my other boat and used it quite a bit. I didn't get one on this boat due to oversight. I have put them on but am not putting this on. I'm gonna have a warm glass shop put it on for me.
  6. I am going to have one put on my boat. I am looking at Keelshield and Keelguard. Do you have a preference?
  7. I use what ever color I feel does well with the bait either complementing or contrasting. Sometimes I may have as many as 4 colors on one head. Most of the time I don't think it matters at all. Like wrench mentioned no color works on anything.
  8. What forums have you guys been using? I have been a member for several years and haven't seen any of what you are discussing. Maybe it is because I mostly am on the boards that are about my boat, motor and electronics. I have gotten a ton of good info from them.
  9. Yes it is.
  10. I would like to have seen more pics. That looks more like a spot that the mean mouths that I have seen.
  11. There are only a few companies that make batteries so brand doesn't mean a lot. The most important thing is reserve capacity. 12 volt tmotors draw more amps than higher voltage ones so you should be looking for 200 reserve capacity. Next is free replacement warranty period. Finally, do you want absorbed glass mat, flooded cell with removable caps or flooded cell with sealed caps?
  12. I didn't get out 'til Wednesday. I guess I should have gone Monday as you beat what I did something awful. I caught 7 lmb on a crank non of which would keep. I threw the A rig for quite a while and could only catch whites on it but they were good pre spawn females. I did catch 10 of them. I fished Sons and Big Sac from Mutton up.
  13. I asked the question a few years ago of a friend who is an agent why is the spot limit 15" like the other black bass. My answer was the department did not think that the average fisherman could tell the difference. My thought was he will after he gets a ticket.
  14. We have caught a few. The look like a smallmouth/spot cross. Some like but also unlike each of the other species.
  15. What kind of problem? I run power poles, aerators, 3 HDS units, 2 Pt. 1 antennas on an Optima SC31 DM. I also use them for the trolling motor. The Optimas have a 3 year warranty.
  16. John might have some blems at Fin and Feather. Just curious why do you need 2 of them? Do you have 2 boats?
  17. Where are you? Do you have any dealers in your area? Not sure what you mean by starting/cycling batteries.
  18. K have you called Scott and Brad at Marine Repair to see if they have any? 833-9191
  19. Last I heard was good fish on jerk baits but that has been a few days.
  20. Cobra tmotor is a mg x5 105 #. We were using both patterns. Craw was best. Morning temps 49° afternoon up to 52°.
  21. We didn't get on the water until after 10 this morning. Fish were scattered but we managed a few. We had 10 blacks and 16 good size whites. All fish were on either an A rig or a crank bait. I have a 36 v tmotor and could barely pull into the wind on setting 7. We fished in Sons, Greezer, Birch, and Mutton as well as some main lake spots.
  22. There are brush piles all over the lake with signs marking them. That would be a good place to start. Nemo or State Park for launching depending on if you want up the Lindley or down closer to the dam.
  23. I am not completely sure what you are attempting. You say you want to enter "pots" from one card to another. If you are talking about items that are listed and located on a mapping card the answer is NO. The info on them is proprietary to them only. Mapping cards are write protected and if you mess with them you will destroy them. If on the other hand you are referring to waypoints, then they are stored in the unit head, not on the mapping card, and can be seen as overlay data on any mapping card you put in your unit. If you will explain in more detail, I will be glad to try to help you.
  24. I got bought out 21 years ago. I left and haven't looked back. It is a whole new world out there when no one is there demanding your time and performance. It is great to be able to go when and where you want with no restrictions. It is a whole new way of life and I love every minute of it.
  25. That is definitely the best price I have seen and I thought Coopers at the Depot had a good price.
