Waiting for the warm weather to come. Every time we get a day of warm weather, the next it gets freezing cold. I like the idea of yaking an going OG. memo

Welcome, you came just in time. Warm weather is just around the corner (I hope) memo

I know you said that you charged the batteries an what not. Have you tried the following. 1. debris/ string caught around prop shaft of trolling motor? 2. tested the wired (volt. meter) going to the charger. 3. tested the wires leaving the charger. 4. did you try running new battery's, not charged ones? Just because the wires an connections look tight/clean, doesn't mean that they are. Also is it still under warranty will be the biggest question, If so then by all means take it in. If not have a second set of eyes have a look at it, before going into the dealer. Electrical problems can be a nightmare, but with some patience it will pay off. memo

You can do both, but since you will be wearing them more often, get some that are comfortable as well. I would recomend Oakleys since the lens can be interchanged an are pretty rugged. I would give them a call or find the nearest dealer/retail store. memo

nice looking fish, thanks for releaseing her. memo

lol, what cabin fever does to us. I'm impressed at your creativity, what's your plans for the plastics. I did the same a few weeks ago. An plan on useing them, this way those bedding bass for sure will never have seen anything like them. memo

Welcom aboard. memo

Hey no need to thank me, I have learned so much from this place. The least I can do is help out an teach others as much as I can. Just like the rest of the members here. tight lines everyone memo

Welcome, glad to have you here. I also fish the same areas as you do. I am stationed on Quantico Marine base. memo

welcome you should be able to, I transport a 14 ft kayak as well as an inflatable10 ft (fully inflated) the same way. The only issue you might have is getting ratchet style straps an speed. you will create more drag on top, an speed will become an issue. Also being able to get ot off dry should be easy, but getting it on after it has been in the water might be tricky. Are you planning on doing this alone or with some help. Eihter way it is still very doable depending on physical strengh. memo

Congrats on your new PB, especially this early in the year. memo

Posted by: sean0920 [td]mem043 looks like you are a marine.[/td] I am I have been on active duty for 12 years. memo

Depends what part of the colum you are targetting. Drop shotting for the most part puts it in there face on a constant basis an you relay on the moverment of the water to produce the action. the Bass swims by an notice the movent an strike it. Jigs on the other hand are all the way at the bottom, you produce the movement as you "jig" the lure, with the rise an fall an depending on the skirt/ trailer you get the movement. I read somewhere that if you put a jig on the bottom of your drop shot rig vice a weight, then you give them options an can target both colums at the same time. hope this helps you any. an good luck, remember to post your results/findings so the rest of us can enjoy/learn. memo

I got one for fathers day 6 years ago an still have it. I have used it on many ocassions to take the kids out in it for rec use. I plan on useing it more for fishing now. I plan on getting a pice of plywood an placeing it on the inside (make a hard bottom). Mine has provisions for a trolling motor). with that being said I plan on getting one, an useinf a milk crate as a battery/seat. I woun't use it in windy days or big lakes though, small ponds an calm days. memo

WOW great looking boat. But you left us in suspense, what's the final update. Anyway great looking boat. ***** 5 STARS memo

Wow, NICE LOOKING FISH, nice n fatty, thanks for shareing the pic, just reminded me that spawn is around the corner, memo

way to go, an congratulations although: So we will have the coldest temps of the year tonite 40s do you believe it. I think that has been the high for us so far this yr. :-X > memo

Well tha's good that the boat started right up, I guess hard work finally paid off. You ever figure out what;s wrong with the truck.. memo

WOW, thanks for the idea. I have a few milk crates that I use to organize my stuff in the garage, poor mans shelves ;D Come on guys I know some of you use/used them, think of all the great joy they brought you. Give a rookie an idea on what to spend his tax return, or else the monkey is gonna take it all. : memo

Paul congrats on the outing. Always feels good when you go out with your own stuff. Glad you made it back to the North, where the rest of us are cold. Didn't want you to get spoiled or anything like that. ;D memo

WOW I like them alot, talk amout mass production, an the uniformity wow (did I say that already) what kind of mold are you useing (please tell me it's home made one) memo

Awesome, nice that you had the chance to meet a true icon of our sport. an by the way anyone else notice just how short KVD is memo

Also what gauge wires are you running, Maybe the wires aren't thick enough (rated) to handle the amount of amps. touch them while in use, maybe there is a break somewhere in the line. or simply check the connections like mentioned before. memo

WoW, he did a good job ***** 5 star All he has to do is learn the rest of the rod building tricks/tips . An both of you are set memo

Awesome pictures, Thanks for sharing. I especially like the initials, gives it a warm feeling. Hope it brings him many years of fishing, an brings the two of you ever lasting memories. memo
