It is a flat bottom, but has taller sides. I don't know the exact dimensions, or brand. It has good lights, and the tongue is good. No boat lights. No bilge pump, and don't need one either. Good transom. I know the guy, so I'm sure he has a title, and it wouldn't really matter anyway. I'll post pics soon.

Has anyone built a boat with these plans? It looks great, but I just wanted some of your opinions about it.

I don't know if the motor runs, it is an old trolling motor with a foot control, there is a trailer with worn out tires (they're tiny, so they wouldn't be expensive), it has two seats that don't match, but are in good shape, and overall looks like it would be a good fixer-upper if I can make the motor run good.

Have you ever seen a school of LARGE bass following a hooked one to the boat? Now that's cool. ;D

Buying it. Have to make an offer.

What do you use that middle swimbait in the bottom box for? It's gotta be a foot long and weigh 5 pounds, right?

How much would a 16 ft jon boat, a 1980's model, with two boat seats, a trolling motor, and a 9.8 hp Mercury outboard with a tiller be worth? It is deeper running than your average jon, and a bit wider. It is in pretty good shape, not good paint or anything, just good metal.

@bigtimfish: Grabbing suckers by "foul-hooking" them is not the way to do it. Get yourself a 10-12 foot cane pole, about a 4/0 treble, tie a white rag on it, and put a 1 ounce egg sinker 10 inches up the line. Place the hook in the water upstream of the fish you're looking for, and let the hook drift under its mouth. When it disappears, set the hook! That is the proper way to grab suckers, a lot of fun too. PS-You have to fish for them when they are up, around here it is when the dogwoods bloom. Also, when fishing, if the school starts to leave, send a buddy out to the side to throw a rock and scare them back into the area.

If it is a baitcast setup, can you not just hook it on the reel crossbar?

Does anyone use these boxes? They seem kind of expensive and overkill for my taste, but they could be good, i guess.

It's not really a new store, but I just discovered that the Farm Store here has a lot of great fishing items! They have a much better selection than Walmart and Atwoods combined. Never knew of it having so much great stuff! This type of thing ever happen to you?

Is this a good reel for finesse fishing? I just was wondering if it could cast very light baits as good as a spinning rig. Could it replace the spinning reel altogether?

Didn't you know? That's the secret to their action! ;D

Darren McFadden is definitely better. Along with Felix "The Cat" Jones. They didn't have that great of a supporting cast, I'm sorry to say, but they still made it happen. I'll never forget the highlight on SportsCenter, saying, "Felix the cat scampers on into the end zone once again!" Or the famous voice of Paul Eels screaming "TOUCHDOWN ARKANSAS! THE HOGS HAVE WON THE GAME!"

I do not know how to post links so I will tell you. Go to thelakecaster.com and look for the section that says photoshare.Click it and look for the picture titled bowfishing. Tell me what you think of those gar. Those are different fish. Needlenose (or longnose) gar are considerably smaller. Here are the stats from the AGFC. LONGNOSE: The longnose gar is Arkansas' most widespread and abundant gar. It is common in sluggish pools andbackwaters of streams statewide and is the gar most frequently found in lakes. It has a very long narrow snout, and the width of the upper jaw at the nostrils is less than the eye diameter. This large fish commonly exceeds three feet in length and may weigh over 25 pounds. ALLIGATOR Once a popular big-game fish on the White, St. Francis, Red and Arkansas rivers, the alligator gar is now rare in Arkansas due primarily to changes in its habitat. It is one of the largest freshwater fishes inNorth America, and specimens over eight feet long and up to 215 pounds have been caught in the state.The snout is very short and broad like an alligator's snout. The distance from the snout's tip to the cornerof the mouth is shorter than the rest of the head. See the difference?

WOW.

Haha. That's funny. A junebug colored popper, or a junebug popper would both work great. Looks good, as always!

Funny movie right there. Somebody give 500 points to this guy! He's a genius!

40 degrees!

No, you have it all wrong. The correct term is: "I see your Schwartz is as big as mine." 500 points for the first one to name the movie reference. The two (Schwartz and Senko) are comparable in deadliness. ;D

That actually looks pretty cool. Where can you get one? I googled it, searched Ebay, and didn't find anything but a Mitchell Spidercast that doesn't look like that. I might have to have one of those. Is it just like a spincast reel that looks like a baitcaster?

Thanks. Didn't notice there was all these threads. Sorry.

Hey, it's possible. I catch them all the time that size with an ultralight rod and a #8 hook. Not sure about numbers, but it's possible.

Step One: Buy the jigging spoon of your choice Step Two: Take the hook off the back Step Three: Break out your soldering iron Step Four: Get some solder Step Five: Solder the straight shank hook of your choice to the spoon Step Six: Pat yourself on the back for making your very own silver minnow. : :) 8-)
