Blue gills.

You won't hurt anything, and in fact, you put a bigger blade on it if you want.

I've had my janky Bill Dance knocker for several years, and I'm at 100% as well.

It's all good!

A quick google, and found one in stock. https://www.thegpsstore.com/Garmin-CV52HW-TM-Transom-Mount-Transducer-P4702.aspx Almost everywhere that sells them is out of stock. How old is the unit?

No grass carp here, either. They were spawning all over the place, Sunday. Pretty disruptive if you try fishing the shallows.

You need a plug knocker.

We don't have them up here....yet.

I'd rather have driven an hour to Auburn and pick up the pontoon cover than go through the online ordering process. That is one maddening online checkout!

Ahah! They do have a high speed LU with a coned tip. I take it back. Just never seen a yammy with one like that.

Absolutely slayed the google-eyes at the City Dump this weekend. Bass, not so much.

Look at the curved leading edge on LU, what's pictured looks more like a sporty, to me. Even the pic above shows a straight leading edge. At any rate, he didn't lose enough of the LU to lose steering. Whatever he hit caused him to lose control, so any of the comments about him being negligent by running without a skeg aren't accurate.

I'm gonna get really picky here, the second picture cannot be Jones' lower unit. Jones drives a Skeeter, which would have a Yamaha outboard, while pictured is a Mercury Sportmaster LU. Another tidbit, the skeg is a sacrificial appendage meant to protect the prop in case of impace. It looks it did it's job, as Jones' prop was intact. Losing would NOT drastically affect steering, as many have suggested. I've fished more than a few tournaments on Oneida (Lake Propkiller), and seen many a boat make it back fine without a skeg. I think whatever he hit probably caused him to lose control. No way to foresee that.

Carp are spawning right now. Chances are, that's what you saw cruising.

Knackwurst.

I've used both for fishing. The difference is not going to cost anyone fish.

No matter the model, get some seat time before buying.

How do they know it's big foot poop?

Are you seriously saying the GLX, what was formally G.Loomis' top of the line blank, not sensitive? Get the GLX, it's a no brainer at that price. The gains in the NRX will not offset the cost difference.

"Lies by omission" are something I've been very guilty of in the past. Something I'm constantly trying to break the habit of.

3/4"

You want to use braided dock lines, not "rope."

That boat came out sweet!
