  1. I would like to see the difference in the Nav and Hot spots. I have the Hot Spots and am not impressed with them.
  2. My thoughts are that if you are going to fish anywhere that there will be wind, go for a glass boat. They don'e blow around like aluminum.
  3. Can you get to the area from the inside? If you can, then you could glass it from there.
  4. You can get some fiberglass resin and cloth and patch it. It isn't hard to do.
  5. That Doc Samson is amazing. He has helped me on several interpretations.
  6. A unit that has at least 480X480 pixels and is color will help you with your target seperation once you find the cover. A gps is even better since you can hover over the cover and mark it with a wpt so it will be easier to find next time.
  7. If you have any wind try a spinnerbait. Early spooks should be good. There are lots of good places in that area. I am fond or Becky, Tremble, big and little Buck, not to mention Big. I had had good success parallelling timbered bluffs late in the evening with wiggle warts.
  8. Phil, the MDC biologist that I talked with way back when, said that they were in the river when the lake was dammed up. That was several years ago and I for the life of me can't remember his name.
  9. Francis Fleetwood caught some over 20 years ago at Beaver Creek. Only one guy who was from Wisconsin even had a clue as to what it was. When the white bass population went way down, one could get about a 1/2 dozen of them each day in the Cedar Creek area.
  10. I catch a few on the upper end from time to time but not on a regular basis. One of the MDC fisheries biologists said they have been there for many many years and not recently stocked.
  11. There are volumes written about drop shotting. Do a google search and you can fish a few weeks worth of reading.
  12. I only use Power Pro and 20# isn't big enough for stripers. You only need a few feet of backing. Decide how much you may have to give a big fish and put that and another 50 yds on.
  13. On the weekends there are getting to be more and more big boat cruising around. When you go pay attention to the wind. SE wind put in on the Big Sac arm, SW wind put in on the Little Sac arm. Strong North wind, stay home.
  14. Largemouth seem to be everywhere but where are the smallmouth. I can't find any grouped up at any depth on any kind of bank and Kentuckies are rare this year.
  15. Forsythian. Let me know when you are going and I may be able to put you on some fish.
  16. Bass Pro usually has a bunch of them at the catalog outlet store. They have been reconditioned by George and Scott at Marine Repair Center.
  17. You guys should take more pride in your work and invest a little time and money into making a quality product that quality fish like to bite.

    Nice looking brownie the bud.
  19. The fish may be but I am not sure about the frogs.
  20. Braid should be burned instead of cut. Bass Pro sells a Power Zap that will burn it as well as any other line. It puts a minute bead on the end and helps keep slipage down. You can also use the PZ to mend plastic baits.
  21. That is a lot of slicks in a day for anyone. WTG.
  22. If you have other weekends off, skip this one. I sure am.
  23. Anyone going to LOZ on a holiday weekend has more guts than I do.
  24. They are common in many rivers and some lakes. They are spread by birds. The good thing is that they are 100% protien, so don't worry about them.
  25. Yes I do and I never have any line twist. It is by far the simplist way to do it.
