Sounds like you already lost. You're allowing the conditions to get in your head. Finding is mental, and you need to stay strong. If you're filing all the conditions under "negatives", my advice would be to stay home. If I were fishing, I'd look for in-flowing water, creeks, and newly flooded brush. I'd grab my squarebills, spinnerbaits, and the loudest jigs I own and beat up on newly flooded brush around inflows. Good luck!

Personally, I don't have any experience with that particular battery. However, a 22 group is probably not going to last long. I'd get at least a 29, and a 31 would be better.

After looking around, I think I've settled on a tracker grizzly 1648. In my budget and comes with a front deck, and it's welded. I'll have to put a back deck on it this winter. Should be a good project!

I have an older dodge caravan and don't want the weight of a glass boat. Plus, some of the ramps I fish are shallow and I have to push the boat off the trailer. But thanks for the idea!

I want at least a 50-52" beam

Storm Arashi 20.

I fish a lot of electric lakes and my 14' leaky riveted boat isn't getting it done anymore. I want to buy a 16-18' Jon boat with a trailer and deck the front and back. What brand of jons with trailers are most affordable?

Big M makes some outstanding flat siders. Reach out to him.

I love this stuff. ICAST 2015 is about six weeks away. What have you seen? What have you heard? What would you like to see? I'll go first..... known fact: shimano citica I, which ready launched. Enigma's icast reveal, which I think will be uneventful. Let's hear it!

Always used fluoro, but for $$ sake, I use 15lb yo zuri hybrid.

I bought some 12, 15, and 20lb for various applications. A little stiff above 15lb, but very good line for reaction techniques. I haven't flipped with it or used it for finesse techniques. I'll stick with braid and fluoro for that.

I agree, go with the Heavy. Sounds like you're fishing heavy cover. Don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

I figured I'd ask this for fun: what do the five biggest bass that you've ever weighed in during a tournament weigh, as if they were all part of the same bag. Mine would be about 27lbs. What about your five biggest bass ever? I'm around 30. I'd like to hear from everyone! I know that some folks that fish big bass factories will be higher, so let us know where you live. I'm in southeastern Pennsylvania.

I fished a lake in the poconos today and SLAYED some bass on the frog.

Hi all! I fish deep creek, green lane, and nock (to a lesser extent) pretty regularly. I don't have a boat yet, but am always looking for folks to fish with!

Who makes the widest/most stable 18.5' boat?

Justin Lucas drives a Phoenix. Are you sure it's not a Phoenix? Great deal, either way.

Well, you could probably use it for Jerkbaits and topwaters, perhaps single hook reaction baits, like spinnerbaits and swim jigs. Small jigs, like the baby advantage from D&L.

Pat, look up Anchor Marina, north east, md.

Dango rods. Name is Dana. He's in West Milford, I believe.

Where should I try? I'm heading out tomorrow.

You need to check out the Baby Advantage jig dig from D&L Tackle. Awesome bait!

I'm heading there tomorrow. I was wondering what the water temp was, if anyone has been out lately. Anyone know?

I'm wondering if anyone has ever, or recently, hired a guide on Lake Wallenpaupack, Delaware River (pike county) or Hopatcong/Greenwood. What can I expect from a local (non-pro) guide as far as rates? Just looking to know what I should expect cost-wise. Thanks!

What's going on now? I'm flying out on Friday.
