Fish Finder Advice
My take. I'd rather have a color 2d graph. I've had DI on my SI units for 2 years and have never used the DI option.

Red Anodized Hawg Handle
Don't know for sure yet but probably not this year. I've got doc appointments on the 24th and 25th. With any luck they'll amputate my head and I should be good to go.

Charging Trolling Motor Batterys
Pending approval from workmen's comp I'm getting epideral shots in my neck on the 25th. Supposed to reduce the inflammation and hopefully the discs will go back where they belong.

Charging Trolling Motor Batterys
The starting battery is at the stern and 2 of the TM batteries are at the bow in their own compartment which is accessed thru the rod locker. The 3 bank charger is located in the rod locker at the bottom and is in the open. There is a 4th battery tray in the starboard bow storage in the open. My flare kit fits in their nicely I'm guessing Lund designed it this way partly because of rough water handling. The 28gal live well sits directly in front of the consoles, with a smaller livewell at the stern. The boat is a deep v up front and a modified v aft. I was riding on 2-21/2 footers during the break in like it was nothing.Tomorrow will be the first day out after break in. blowing 10-15 in the morning with gusts at 30 by late morning/afternoon. I'll be able to put her through her paces.

Charging Trolling Motor Batterys
On the old boat I did. On my new boat the TM batteries are located on the bow in the rod storage compartment. So the answer is no

How Far Can You Cast?
I don't know how far, but I do know this. I got my Revo's back from DVT and they cast further and smoother than when they were new. Fact is, any cast that doesn't hook a fish is just practice.

Favorite Pizza--
Pizza's here. This is a stuffed pizza which is not a traditional Chicago style. A stuffed pizza is a crust, about 50lbs of delicious cheese and whatever other ingredients you order topped off with sauce. The traditional deep dish pizza has a slightly thicker crust and then everything is layered. A layer of sauce, a layer of meat a layer of cheese a layer of other ingredients and more sauce and maybe more cheese.

Promoting And Getting Sponsors For New Tournament Series
Payouts and well run tourneys For a lot of guys it's not worth the price of admission. It's a double edge sword with some clubs. On my home water there were 2 bass trails for a long time. Both attracted the same anglers. One was run better, and slowly the membership of the other dropped hence payouts dropped. To continue to attract fishermen they raised entry fees to keep payouts high, it backfired and the club has all but dissolved. In the mean time 2 other clubs started up with entry fees $50 lower per boat than the club I fish hence lower payouts. What these clubs have done to attract more teams is change the payout schedule to include more boats (standard is 1 place for every 6 boats) which lowers payouts even more.(They are paying out 1 place for every 4 boats) They attract the same teams but are not growing with a 12-15 boat field on tourney day. The club I fish has a 50-60 boat field on tourney day throughout most of the season. It is well run and affordable and a team could potentially walk away with over 2k for 8hrs of fishing, whereas the other clubs potential is $400. In my club there is also the potential to win bass boats if a team makes it to the TOC. For me, after entry fees, ramp fees, fuel for the boat and truck, including the prefishing costs, it's not worth it for $400. There are other clubs I have thought of fishing in NW Indiana and SE Wisconsin, again cost being a factor. The NW Indiana club fishes Lake Michigan and weather plays a huge roll with tourneys being cancelled at the last minute. I don't know if that is a factor where you're at on Erie. For me to drive 2 hours to turn around and come home plays a big factor in my decision making
