hahaha y'all are good yup definitely an interstate. 15 years of boat ownership and they have been pretty darn good but looks like this one is shot. Oh well ill have them replace it.

Ya I live way up north lol. My boat is in my heated garage though all winter. Im guessing its my cranking battery, sucks cuz its only a year old but I have the receipt and they should replace it. thanks! Thanks everyone I'm guessing its the battery. I have the receipt it should be replaced since its only a year old.

So I checked my trim 2 weeks ago and batteries everything lights up green and is charged. Trim went up and down fine. I just hooked it up to go take in for annual service and went to trim it up and nothing. Plugged in my charger and everything lights up green. Then tried the trim motor and it went up slowly while plugged in enough for me to put the transom saver in and tow to shop. Whats your thoughts?

As a military member I get to travel all over and personally the best I've been to is either the hookup tackle in Glendale AZ or Bass tackle master in Lake Havasu city AZ.

Well we will revisit in 3rd week in April ?

Never knew that but my question is then. Why at 21' does my screen go so dark that I cant seen anything. but at 20' and less its clear as day?

6" bull shad works awesome. And wake baits. The larger ones like spro rats, cl8 bait baby possums, water voles, slammers etc in that 7-9" range. I have to many to name lol. but most of those are heavier. the 7" slammer is light though under 2oz I believe. The G2 Shellcracker is a small bluegill wake bait that slays em too. Its a light bait. Sorry I know I named all wake baits but those work awesome all summer and fall.

Thanks! if our 3' of ice ever melts I'll try that.

ill def give it a try! Thanks.

No I leave it at the same around 50-60 ft most the time.

fishing since I was 3 and that started in Alaska being carried on my dads shoulders down creeks and rivers salmon and trout fishing. Bass fishing seriously started when I was 10 I would say. I caught a few bass night fishing while camping on an island with my dad. that same summer I caught a smallmouth bass on a live salamander in a river we were cat fishing. After that I was hooked on smallmouth and have been ever since. I take a month off every year and go home to target them and a few trips to MN rivers and lakes now that I live close to MN. But even then id say most of my fishing is largemouth due to where I live. So total time fishing 31 years. Total time "bass fishing" 24 yrs. Definitely a bass angler 99% of the time but ill target any big fish when the time comes.

I have two HDS 10s on my boat. When I'm side scanning in 20' and less I can see every single rock, weeds etc. Anything over 20 ft and the screen turns super dark and I cannot see anything. Its so annoying when I fish offshore and as soon as I hit any kind of real depth having that issue. Ive tried messing with settings but got nowhere. Anyone have an idea what to do? Thanks!

My. year was awesome! Been extremely blessed to be honest. I fished more this year than I have in the last 15. Only because for the last 15 I've been stationed out west or overseas. When I was out west there were hardly any lakes within 2-3 hrs. So I would fish the same lake every weekend basically. Not that that was a bad thing I LOVED fishing lake Havasu and the Yuma backwaters. But I like variety and normal weather as well haha. New Mexico fishing was horrible lol. Now that I'm stationed up north I've been able to fish every weekend and fish 4-6 lakes per weekend and throw a river in there as well. One county has 1400 lakes, another has 500+ and a 3rd has 600+all within 2 hrs of me. Plus I live right next to the Red River of the North one of the best channel cat fisheries in the country. I caught many bass over 5lbs and countless 18-24lb bags. Lots of numbers as well. Biggest smallmouth this season was 5.78. Biggest largemouth was 5.5lbs. Miss the 6-8lbrs out west but you cant beat the avg size up north. So many 3s and 4s its stupid lol.

Thanks such a good time!

haha ya winter sucks! This is the first time I'm stationed up north since leaving Michigan 15 yrs ago. But ill probably get out atleast one more time on the river in the yak before it ices to much and hopefully get a few.
