skunked_again

heres a start. dont be scared to get maybe 50 yards from the bank and run your baits under the bait balls. id targets the wind blown banks first.

i bought mine at the marina.

Fuegos are very under rated i think. i bought my father a yellow/black Pixy and i like it ok as well. i LOL'd when he strapped the thing to a Berkley Shock Rod..

lot of money for a tuning problem. youll be buying a motor you know nothing about for that price. good luck.....

typically, when i have something serviced, if the problem isnt fixed i take it back. do you owe anything on the boat? can you R&R a big motor yourself? if youre changing brands i can only assume youll be buying controls as well. whats the price youre wiling to spend to "upgrade" to a used motor?

why not take the thing in for service? i dont see how you wont be 2x upside down in the boat after dropping dime for a 200 hp motor...

i like my walmart batteries. i dont see them as cheap either, thats just me though.....

my boat has its own spot in the garage. that is where all boats belong.

i have no idea why solid reels get put on the shelf. i watch ebay closely for Fuegos, you will steal one once in a while.

the HD

between the Zillions, Sols, and Fuegos i dont see a need for anything else.

i really liked the graph. we were targeting baitfish in 20-35 feet of water and we able to stay on them most of the day. the unit was very adjustable and showed the bottom very well. after using this unit i dont see me buying another SI unit when the time comes.

i love it, it doesnt love me. 5 mins after the stuff hits my mouth bet money ill be blowing chunks, its a lock.

a soft tip should help launch that bait...make sure the reel is full of line. other than that no idea.

i had for the most part the same truck and pulled my 18' bass boat all over with the thing. i also ran the a/c and never once had a problem.

caught A LOT of fish. had the best time with the old man. 6 species in all caught and a lot of nice smallies.

i like those old Daiwa reels. the down side is no instant anti-reverse. if youre handy you can really tune those things up.

id be willing to bet youre wrong. chances are ppl are bidding on her "story" right now.

thank guys. were going to hit ledges close to deeper channels to start and move up from there.

were headed down early sat. and wondered if anyone know if the lake was up or what the water looked like. thanks.

what he said.

im curious to know how a poster gets their feelings hurt on a fishing forum to the point they had to leave. were not talking about each others mommas/wives.

fished Gardner Lake tonight. a lot of small fish.

have you checked the lake level? im thinking its very high.

you might be able to stand in the boat but i cant imagime you doing much more.
