checking the kill switch is always part of my pre-trip inspection. I have had them go bad on my saltwater rigs before. Salt gets in between the contacts.

fishingrulz1234, "that guy" is your president.

One big happy, growing family here. Welcome aboard, look forward to getting to know you.

My dam consists of a rip rap wall about 300 yards long. Jigs are the reigning winner up that way for me. I have friends that crank it often also but the jig seems to outproduce them consistently.

My boat is fire engine red and they love it!,lol They can't seem to stay out of my glorious red-azz boat !

PLUS A DAB OF SUPER GLUE ON THAT SPIKE AND YOU'RE HOME FREE!

Not to be negative but scHools have been getting music and sport program cuts left and right. Around here anyway, it seems the kids are fighting constantly to not get their sports programs cut due to lack of funds. It really is a shame. Not to mention that some guy can swing a bat and make 40 million while the woman teaching our kids can't make enough to survive. I just don't see it happening sadly enough.

I use both. You can never be over prepared on the water.

Exactly, whether it's a hot foot or a trigger throttle, both are spring loaded, when you let go, so do they.

Rattlinrogue, after surviving Katrina, maybe you could be the "high winds" expert!

bowjunkie, hope you bought him a 6-pack!

I made my own "hot foot". I noticed it in mags and always thought it was a great idea to have both hands on the wheel so I had morse cable make me a cable to adapt to my boat. I run a center console (saltwater) so the hot foot wasn't an option but I achieved a "hands free" ride with a trigger throttle. Both hands still on wheel and WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Pic doesn't look right because wheel is turned all the way left. When running straight, the trigger sits at the 2 o'clock position.

Glenn- let me re-word. You had the boat done to match the site or had the boat and used its colors for the site?

The only "roll casting" I know of is done with a fly rod. Raise the rod slowly till it's 100% vertical and then you throw the tip down quick making a huge loop with the line that rolls forward and gently plops the fly down.

Glenn, are those bassresource colors custom or did you design the site to match the boat?

I like to use a fine looking woman to watch the boat while I park. ;D

lol

Just did this one for quantumpt

I used microsoft picture it. The newer version is called digital image and it's super easy. First I pull up the main picture (will be backround) then I pull one of my friends pics and a. crop b. soften edges c. right click and select "add to collage" and it puts pic on top of my pic and you can size it and move it around. Then I put the text in. Really simple! I bet these programs can probably do alot more, I just don't know how yet.

alhuff- try these for ideas and google "jon boat conversion" http://www.myjonboat.com/gerry.htm http://bassresource.com/fishing/bass_boat.html second link is part 1 of a 3 part article, see link at bottom of part 1.

These are the friends that caught on my boat this year. I make one of these each year and mail one to each person. Great way to preserve the memories of the year in 1 pic. If anyone wants me to make them one, send me the pics and the title you want.

Kiddin,right man? Payback? lol!! TOTALLY playin here, thought the joke was everybody pretending not to know that you da man for the toothy critters!! Trust me, I just might be looking you up. I always thought that the primest pike fishing would be a fly in to Manitoba or somthing but I'm learning that htey are much closer and just as big so....... Don't be offended or embarressed, would never want you to feel that way, just harmless ribbing. Sorry man. We good?
