I would have bet money on that. They are very simple to disassemble. It's going the other way that gives so many people problems. They got to be right or you got big problems. If you can't find anyone close to you to fix it box it up and I will clean and put it back together for you. Just cover the freight. (Unless I have to purchase any missing parts) LOL. Jack That's a nice offer, Jack.

. . . . . and last but not least, spending too much time on forums when they should be on the water.

Welcome.

Hello and welcome.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum, Kevin.

Welcome to the community.

Welcome to Bass Resource, Mark. I reside in KC also. How long have you been here?

Welcome back.

lol...I couldn't resist. I didn't proofread. Give me a break. I'm usually working on my other computer accessing other network devices while I'm on this forum. I'm surprised I don't make more grammatical errors.

Welcome to BR.

Two or three times a year I disappear for that much time or longer. It's no biggie. Glad you're still with us.

It seems many of us have the need to post displays of our intellectual superiority and I am sure I have been guilty of this as well. In addition to intelligence, emotional maturity and humility are excellent attributes also, and these traits provide the proper foundation for the use of intelligence.

Welcome to the BR forum. Don't let your new green mistress become a home wrecker.

LOL...Everyone says that until they realize it was carp they were flipping to for the last couple hours. It is not strange to see carp & bass working the same area at the same time. I'm completely convinced that when bass are chasing live prey they will often times hit nothing but live prey. To add support to Catt's comment, knowledgeable people can mistake bass for carp especially when one only has a tip of a fin or tail to make the determination. You said your lake was a mud bowl so this would have been the case, and if you were quite a distance away you wouldn't have had a very good view of the portion of the tail and fin that was sticking out of the water. Since you were able to move up close to these fish you were able to see what they were but Catt's point is still valid.

Welcome, Eric.

Hello, Jamie. Welcome to the forum.

I'm tossing in another vote for the Citica E.

1 Skeet Reese CA 1170 2 Greg Hackney LA 1017 3 Edwin Evers OK 990 4 Dean Rojas AZ 984 5 Dave Wolak NC 963 Skeet leads by 153 points. He's smoking the field right now.

Bobby, that's definitely an interesting bait. So it smoked them?

I hear that Andy Williams or the Bald Knobbers will guide for you. The link below provides a number of names but I don't know who would be best. I didn't use a guide when I visited Table Rock though it's a very good idea. http://www.1fghp.com/mo.html

That is difficult to answer without knowing the weight of your boat, the pitch of your prop, and the RPMs your engine is turning. The easiest way to determine if your prop is operating at optimum efficiency is to check the RPMs you are running at full throttle. Your operator's manual should tell you the optimum range of RPMs for your motor. If you are within that range at wide open throttle and you are running 27 mph then you are where you need to be. However, 27 mph sounds a bit slow to me with a 60 horse motor, though again, I know very little about your boat and motor. Below are the rules of thumb for testing your prop. RPM is below optimum range at W.O.T. - Reduce pitch. RPM is above optimum range at W.O.T. - Increase pitch. RPM is within recommended range - No change. The diameter x pitch should be notated on your prop. Pitch is the number of inches the prop travels through the water with one revolution, so the steeper the angle of your blades, the lower the pitch and the higher the RPMs you will run at a given speed.
