  1. I got one from the bait shop in salem yesterday for $140. by the weekend I should have my new boat ready for water.
  2. man I wish I could make it....maybe I could take saturday off.
  3. now I just need a freakin trailer!
  4. thats my 9.9 for sale, I am thinking of upgrading to a 4 stroke but every day I want to less and less.
  5. I have never seen anything smaller than a 9.9 rental. I have fished from wildcat to calico and never seen a rental bigger than a 15 and smaller than a 9.9. I couldnt imagine fishing with 3 units and running a 7.5hp. the reason I like a 9.9 better is they are set up for shallow running better than a 25. a person good with a boat can get up a shoal with a foot of water. if your serious about low water fishing, get a jet. I have both.
  6. IMO, unless you fish 3 people all the time, the 9.9 will be your best bet. expect a strong 9.9 to push that boat about 15mph. a 25hp will push it 20. the only upside to the 25 is the option of running a jet, which is becoming much more popular on the white.
  7. your braver than me floating in this weather! I am content to keep my cheeks dry in my riverboat this time of year.
  8. I love fishing them in eddies, right now deep pools. on places like CC I look for the deepest water I can find and chunk it. places like southfork I look for moving water(when its warm). I caught a 18" smallie right next to a large boulder on the lower buffalo. I dont know if there is anywhere I WONT throw a jerkbait, haha.
  9. great paint as usual. I havent used suspending jerkbaits in creeks per say, but I have had great luck winter fishing on the 11pt fishing megabass 110s. I have caught large numbers of nice smallies in the summertime with LC pointers.
  10. ok here is what I want badly: megabass 2's, the cd11, the top 4 LC 112 pointers in that pic, and the lc pointer 97 j minnow. $10 a lure shipped?
  11. hunting is 30 minutes after sunrise I believe. how else would you shoot?
  12. oh man looks like I have to buy a couple!
  13. if there isnt enough water you will destroy a boat.
  14. I guess since I fish on mondays I hardly have a problem.
  15. I cant believe he only gave you a warning. I have heard horror stories.
  16. the white is a very dangerous river. I dont figure my jet will push the new boat much more than 5mph faster than my 9.9 so maybe I wont tear it up
  17. ive never seen a ranger or game warden while fishing in the past 3 years, however I only run a 9.9 on the buffalo. Ham, have you had any hard hits with the fiberglass boat? I am sort of scared of hitting one with my new js boat.
  18. running more than 100ft in 5" of actual water wot is more than scary. your boat will still draft 4" if you have a fiberglass jon. I have ran 3" of water for about a 25ft stretch, but I prefer at least 6"
  19. I will spend an average of 1 hour motoring in a day of fishing. if I fish the mouth of CC I launch at buffalo city and thats 5 miles. If I want to fish the buffalo I launch at buffalo city and go up the buffalo 4 miles. sometimes I just go up a mile or two and drift.
  20. its the jet. my 25hp merc with a jet inhales fuel. still worth it.
  21. no the boat survived unscathed. I am talking about the new boat.
  22. dear lord I gotta get my new boat going!!!!!!!!!! it will be going next week
  23. the motor has 3 years warranty on the powerhead. Honestly I dont see how the 4 stroke can use much less fuel than the 2, I have never came close to burning 3 gal in a day. I am not real concerned if it sells, I am plenty happy with this motor.
