  1. Skip the leader and spool up with 15# mono.
  2. My PB fought like a wet boot.
  3. A gentle rinse with warm freshwater. You can even use a mild dish soap as well.
  4. They only offer the 115 on this boat, and that sounds about right for the hull.
  5. My top 3 LMB from NY state: 7-2 10" Powerworm 7-1 4" Flick Shake worm 6-14 Jig/Rage Chunk
  6. Pick your electronics. Add power poles, cover, setback, passenger console, front deck step, remote drain, upgrade to Utrex, retractable tie downs and trailer brakes.
  7. It's great if you like catching perch.
  8. A shaky head is essentially a weedless jig worm that far predates a poop (ned) rig.
  9. Lol, uh huh.
  10. Pre IPC Saint Croix Avid AC62MXF. Truly the best topwater rod I've ever used.
  11. Going for a pretty penny on the used market: https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/fishing-the-upper-potomac-river/18105653/item/47741662/?gclid=CjwKCAjwu_mSBhAYEiwA5BBmf-QTZrEF4nOfLPxfeOhV31GFxleviayfjVkkbD0ojt622cA1JaUVaBoC2UoQAvD_BwE#idiq=47741662&edition=61085809
  12. Had a Genny Light tall boy.
  13. Sounds like the issue is your batteries. Have them tested.
  14. 1. Why can't you reverse the slings? Not sure I understand the issue, but whomever installed the hoist should be able to make adjustments for your boat, if you can't yourself. 2. This keeps the boat dry, but a foot and a half difference seems extreme. Again, this can be adjusted. You also don't need it 5' out of the water, just out of the water. As far as hurting the boat, that's pretty much nonsense. As long as the slings are clean and debris free, you will be fine. We stored boats at our cottage on a hoist for over 20 years without issue. One of those boats was a fairly large and heavy open bow.
  15. That looked more like a well executed roll cast than a legit skip.
  16. Yes to buzzbaits and spinnerbaits. No to jigs and chatterbaits.
  17. Snow here tonight and tomorrow. Ugh.
  18. Woke to Easter Bunny and snow on the ground. Go home Mother Nature, you're psychotic.
  19. I remember the episodes where Larry was testing the homemade version. I was VERY MUCH looking forward to it coming out. It was not the huge improvement to tailprops that I though it would be. Top Raider still works fine for toothies.
  20. Never heard of it not being a third party and that applies to everything - cars, boats, houses, horses, lawnmowers, and shovels.
