I live near you and know EXACTLY what lake you’re talking about. There were two tournaments there in the last two weeks where lunker was 7.26lbs and 7.4lbs, respectively. don’t listen to the haters, you’re spot on. PM incoming. Also, for all you non-believers.... Marsh Creek produced an 8.5lb lunker this summer in a night tournament. It’s on video. They’re rare, but they’re here.

I have a few old Bomber Balsa B’s that I want to have custom painted. I want a few painted in a natural bluegill pattern, and a few in a foil bluegill pattern. Im looking for recommendations on who to hire for this task. I’m looking for names, but If you think you yourself can do it, I’d like to see some baits you’ve done before. They don’t make these baits anymore and they’re very hard to come by. Thanks!

I just had this issue with my Echomap 73SV and my Minn Kota Maxxum 70lb. My boat desler had to make a custom mount that rides on the SIDE of the TM. It’s an offset mount. I’ll take a photo this weekend and send it.

It works better for thicker diameter vegetation, link pads and cattails. I still get milfoil wrapped around my TM, and I even have a Wedless Wedge II.

In my opinion, Hawghunter if Allentown and Brandywine Bassmasters are the two best organized/funded clubs with the best talent pool (if you want to get better). Chester is good too. I used to belong to Buxmont, which is a better club if you want to make friends and don’t take tournaments too seriously.

Thanks for the advice. Ducketts are all I use. Great rods!

I’m thinking about picking one up, but I’m not sure if it’ll be too stiff for what I want. I’m looking for an offshore football jig/c-rig. But I want this rod to double for swim jigs and maybe frogs shallow (I know it’s a frog rod). I’m torn between this rod and a 7’3” MH Triad or Terex. If anyone has any feedback on the 7’2” H Terex and where it excels, I’d love to hear it. Thanks!

How?

I like to put a little fade-out at the end of the video with my gear used because some people are curious. I think we’ve all been inspired to buy gear based off of someone else’s success at some point. I also add my social media stuff afterwards. A total of about ten seconds for both slides.

W2S, if I can not justify purchasing Lithium Batteries right now, but still want to shed pounds, are there other more affordable, lightweight battery options out there? im just looking for two 12v’s to run my trolling motor. Thanks!

I have a 16’ Crestliner that’s I’m trying to save weight on. I found a few solar batteries that are 25lbs ish, but I’m not sure they’ll last against my 24v Maxxum. i can’t spend $1,600 on batteries.

I’m looking to upgrade my two 27g batteries to Lithium batteries for my trolling motor. I’m looking for a tried and true brand. Who has the best value?

I use KVD #2 hooks. I actually caught two bass on that bait on one cast.

Cabelas bargain cave (in store). I just got a Garmin 73SV chirp for $350

Do you have any crawfish images?

I already have some from my Echomap. However, I can't post them here for some reason (only letting me upload .73mb and I have zero attachment.) if you have an email or cell number, I'll send some to you.

Thanks guys. Topic=answered.

Follow up question: what about the CHIRP transducer? Should that one be the one I idle and scan with (for detail)?

I'm rigging a new Crestliner Storm 1600 and I'm having a dilemma: I have two Garmin Echomap 73SV units, one is CHIRP and one isn't. I've had the non-chirp unit for two years and it's loaded with waypoint. The CHIRP unit is brand new. heres my question: which unit should I put at the console, and which at the bow? Which transducer should be at the transom, and which on the TM? im thinking CHIRP at console and it's transducer at transom, and put the non-chirp at the bow and use its transducer on the TM for Maps/sonar. Any thoughts? Thanks!

"Just buy it." -My wife commenting on my indecisiveness on whether or not to buy a small bass boat.

I didn't think the non-CHIRP can read CHIRP. Can it?

It's always been my dream to qualify for the Elites. Still is. But after this rule change, I realize it won't happen through the opens, at least for me. My new plan: begin a path to qualify for the FLW Tour. If I'm successful, it's much more affordable and the season is shorter. I'm a working man, and the tour is the "Working Mans' Tour".

I didn't think they could. Can they?

Say you have two units, a 73SV echomap and a 73SV CHIRP. Can you link the two together?
