skunked_again

the heavy kansas wind popped 2 of mine out sat. ended up drilling the head off one bolt and pushing it through. sawz-alls and my boat dont mix. on the flip side i was able to put a great coat of wax over that erea. 2 hours and $11 in part i felt like i got off easy.

thats a great boat. those are a must have for the guys who know the honey hole ponds. like i tell everyone, use it a lot.

that is a sweet ride. put a ton of hours on it.

id un-plug the transducer which will put the unit in simulation mode and get the book out and spend a ton of time playing with the unit. the next thing to do is plan on a few hours on the water not fishing and playing with the unit.

holy smoke.......................lol. a trolling moter and a 9 hp motor might be cheaper.

one last thing, im not sure that boat is rated for 70 hp. most of those boats were rated for 45 hp.

if the boat cant be put on the water before you buy it id pass.

i like the lowrider series too. great crank rod.

nope, but i have 2 in hot mustard.........lol. i think im going to take them out, catch one more fish with them and then retire them. theyre not worth anything on ebay since they have new in the box baits for sale now.

junebug is a hard color to beat in mild stain. dipping the tail adds to the numbers many times.

out of production baits? i have quite a few rapala hard baits that are no longer being made. oddly enough i still have a few boxes for the rista raps and fat raps. do you fish them or put them away?

that could be a lot of re-ties.

you must be getting some hard core allowance.

the going on parts not always easy either.

kill creek wasnt that good. 4 fish. if i had to choose id not choose kill creek.

i wouldnt go to cedar lake. the lake is being drain right now and is very dirty. that was one of the 2 fish caught. the other fish was only a skinny 17". were going to kill creek tonight ill get back to you on that trip.

Hmmm, nope, free floating spools also have braking system, it 's just that if not set correctly the spool spins at warp speed. mine spins at warp 4. the scary part is the Daiwa rep at BPS "step the unit up" for me. in his words, the unit should only be used with side play in the spool. :-?

ive used bait casters for 10 years and my Sol still gets away from me. think about getting a backlash from the time you remove your thumb from the spool to the time you turn the handle after the bait hits the water.

id stay away from free floating spools until youve mastered the bait caster more.

how you spool your reels is very importain. dont try anything weird.

thank god, im only half an idiot...........lol

2 things, i knew i had the fastest 150 hp merc till i got gps. i always wondered why my 884 Savage w/175 merc. was so much slower than other boats i read about. on a side note, my 1800 FS w 150 hp merc. will do almost 70 mph at about 2900 rpm's, being pulled behind mt truck on the trailer....
