Well my first thought was that Dave is not the person for the job but I'll give him more time to settle down if he's like this by the 3rd tournament he needs to be given the boot. Tight Lines Pa Angler

Welcome to BR you have picked the right place to get/give info. Tight Lines Pa Angler

I love the Chatterbait, In clear water I like white & white/ chartreuse in stained water pumpkin seed or watermellon seed and in dirty water I like the black/blue. Tight Lines Pa Angler

I use the Gamakatsu SkipGap hooks I did order some Trokar 4/0 & 5/0 swimbait hooks they are pricey at 5 hooks for $9.99 I did get some from BTD for $7.99. I'll have to wait till ice off to try the Trokar hooks. Tight Lines Pa Angler

I've been out on the lake and the river(St. Lawrence) in 6 footers. Sometimes you don't have a choice when you run 30 miles and a big storm rolls in. I'd take my 21' Skeeter with a 4 blade prop over an aluminum deep v any day. I just take my time and climb over every wave. Believe me, it's not fun and it eats up a ton of fuel, but it sure beats the alternative. Did you ever own a deep V? Wonder why Al Linder uses deep V's rather than a Bass rig on the great Lakes.... Let me guess a more stable platform for such. Tight Lines Pa Angler No, I have not and I'm not trying to argue with you. Mr. Linder's deep v's also didn't run 70+ on calm days. Sometimes I need to make milk runs and hit as many places as possible during a tournament day. A 21' bass boat is very versatile and I was just stating a fact that I have been out in 6 footers on Ontario and not had problems...but my boat is also set up for it(4 blade prop, 54 inch tm shaft, extra bilge, etc). Truth be told, if I fished the Great Lakes exclusively, I would opt for a 21' FIBERGLASS walleye boat. They really handle big water. I understand Tight Lines Pa Angler

Why? I was running a 17' Tracker Targa Deep V on Lake Ontario rough water That boat on Ontario is more dangerous than the 21' in 6 footers, imo. There is no issue with it as long as you take it slow and know how to drive. A 21' Bass boat in 6' waves is MORE risky than the water I was running with my 17' I did say roug water not 6' waves you won't get me to believe that your running in 6' waves slow or fast on a normal basis. I know what a 17' Deep V can do and what it can't do a 21' Bass boat has no business in water with 6' waves. Deep V's are more suited for open big water that a Bass hull. Tight Lines Pa Angler If you roll with the waves there is no issue or worry. It's not like I never got caught up in a sudden storm I have run into waves that were 5' to 6' waves but the fact is Deep V (Walleye boats) are built for the big water Bass boats are not. Here's another fact It's easier to submarine a Bass boat with it's low profile into a large wave than a Deep V (Walleye boat) If I layed on my bow I couldn't reach the water that's how much freeboard there was you don't have that kind pf protection with a Bass boat. I met an angler who's 19'-6" Bass boat got swamped on Lake Erie no one is going to convince me that a Bass boat is better than a Deep V for big water. Tight Lines Pa Angler

Tracker Marine dropped the rating as to push buyers to the Z-8 the Z-7 can handle 200hp. Any Z-7 delivered before Jan. 2011 still has the 200hp rating on the plate so you can do a repower if you want any Z-7 as of Jan. 1, 2011 will have the 150hp rating on the plate I received my Z-7 just before Christmas mine has the 200hp raring. Nitro won't factory install 200hp on the Z-7. Tight Lines Pa Angler

Sounds like a battery issue or something in the starting system. Tight Lines Pa Angler

Why? I was running a 17' Tracker Targa Deep V on Lake Ontario and the St Lawrence River in rough water the Z-7 is a bigger boat should be no problem keep in mind I wasn't out in 6' waves I wouldn't take a 21' bass boat out in 6' waves. You need to know the limits of your vessel. Plenty big for the for mentioned waters. Tight Lines Pa Angler

I had some wind up selling them on Ebay not worth the extra money when I catch/caught more on Rapala Shad Raps and the original minnow. Tight Lines Pa Angler

I forgot to mention in my last post the Nitro dealer said I couldn't leave there with my new boat without insurance so I'm guessing it may be a Pennsylvania requirement. I was told a boat and trailer package over 3,000lbs requires trailer brakes as well. Tight Lines Pa Angler

I used to get that magazine years ago and was told not to renew because it was going out of publication. What happened did go out and then come back or where they aquired by another company and then continued? Tight Lines Pa Angler
