Are you guys adding the motor weight? Boat motor and trailer on my 20' Lund is 3000lbs. Add 50 gallons of fuel, batteries and gear and I'm closer to 4000

I think you should have some morning coffee before you touch the keyboard

You'll need the Link module, one of these HB graphs http://www.minnkotamotors.com/_docs/Products/Accessories/i-Pilot_Link/i-Pilot_Link_Humminbird_LakeMaster_Compatibility-4-9-13(2).pdf ( the list with the compatible 2014 graphs isn't out yet ), a new gps puck http://store.humminbird.com/products/629922/AS_GPS_HS and the Lakemaster card of your liking

He's mistaken. Those are pickerel he's catching

A properly placed bait trumps all. Call it skill, call it luck, call it divine intervention. I don't care. The results are the same. Skill allows me to identify the places to throw the correct bait under certain conditions. Luck is the gamble that a fish is at that spot under those conditions. Divine intervention is...well...only God knows.

No, I think your misunderstanding it. That charger mounts permanently to the boat and the batteries. You plug the charger into an extension cord. You have a couple options. Minn Kota makes a charger that will charge the trolling motor batteries off the boats alternator while you're running from spot to spot http://store.minnkotamotors.com/products/690312/MK_3_DC_%283_bank%29 You can always remove the batteries which is a PITA. I keep my boat in storage as well. I pic it up the night before I go out and plug it in over night. I also believe someone makes an inverter kit so you could plug an onboard charger into a receptacle on the tow vehicle. To get the most out of the batteries, they need to be charged fully after each use, and topped off before the next use.

The weedless wedge 2 is available everywhere. They come in 2 sizes depending on the motor diameter

$200 on musky lures? That's about 3 lures, right?

That would be the new Siebert Helium series jig

I'm a Minn Kota guy. Lifetime warranty on the composite shaft. Can't say that about Motorguide

Forgive me for being stupid. Is this like Netflix?

Cabelas Guide Wear is still on sale for 50% off. I bought a set 2 months ago

All I know is I'm missing a jig

Survival of fittest is no longer a valid saying. Seems the stupid ones are the ones who keep breeding I don't either

Mark, I emailed you a $2 off coupon for the Schaumburg show. If anybody else wants it PM me your email.

Probably. I did Rosemont last year because I was boat shopping. Looks like Schaumburg is growing and has a better lineup of speakers. Ike puts on a good seminar. I saw him a few years back at Rosemont. I like Zona. Don't know if I can stomach Mercer. Maybe he's different in person than on the show. He's too animated for me. Reminds me of Fish Fishburne

That really hurts Yes it's true I failed as a father.

If the pipes are frozen, I'd recommend shutting the water off at the main, opening the faucets, crank up the heat, and if you can find where they are frozen hit it with a hair dryer(not literally)

Big Daddy is more than likely Big Momma.

You might want to ask the mods to move this to the electronics thread

FYI, the Pathfinder with a V6 gets similar to worse mileage than a full size truck with a V8

Packers SUCK!!! GO BEARS!!!! and welcome to Bass Resource

Ever heard of a trout in a swimming pool? They're at just about every fishing show, and they do it at some of the public pools as fund raisers before they open for the season.

I also have a couple Silaflex rod. Pre Browning era that were my grandfathers. These haven't seen action since the early 70's. The spinning set up has 2 blanks and the casting set up has one. From what I gather these rods are from the 1950's, and were top dollar rods costing over $100 a piece at that time. My grandfather taught me how to use a bait caster in the early 70's on a stainless steel rod. My how things have changed.

2200's and 2400's which have the rear drag
