I'm with you on this condensation issue. All of mine (3 right now) do it if you do not keep it warm when running down the lake. In fact, I have been keeping them inside the truck until we arrive at the lake to keep them warm and I turn them on immediately when mounting on boat. I shield them from direct cold wind when going fast down the lake. This stops the moisture on the inside of the screen.

The fisheries biologists say that they (sotted bass) can infiltrate naturally. I am more inclined to think that some rednecks want these fish closer to home so they do not have to travel to Allatoona or Lanier, or even Blue Ridge, so they carry them back in their livewells. Anyone else out there believe that theory? I know that is how the bluebacks are being introduced elsewhere. >

To all of you fine fellas, I am going to "harvest" every spot I catch in the course of my smallmouth and walleye fishing. I know the spots are affecting my targets and thus my dinner menu as far as the walleye. Die spot, die. Now I feel better

Yes they have and that is why I do not fish for them or fish at all here anymore. I am talking of Lake Fontana in N.C.. where there is a lot less pressure on the fish.

My lake is now being infiltrated with the spotted bass and I would like to know if they prefer the same depth as the smallmouth. Do they eat fish eggs and small fry of the bass and other species? Smallmouth are still doing good but I believe the walleye are suffering from the introduction of the spots. What can you tell me about the habits of these 'trash fish." I'm sorry, but that is what walleye fishermen call them. I'm going to catch it for that remark.

hello fellow fishermen. Been located in Marietta, GA for 28 years now and have belonged to local Bass clubs and all. My passion since 2001 is catching/eating Walleye at Lake Fontana in N.C.. Have a house there where I keep a "tin" boat for trolling and a bass boat for just hitting the points. Some "spots" are in the lake now and I will move to a forum to ask my questions. I"ll be talking to 'ya.

The smallies in Fontana are schooled up and hammering the endless supply of threadfin shad. Look for the bait right now at 60 to 70 feet. Below that are the walleyes and right now they are scattered. Hit 'em with spoons jigged at the depth you see them. They are relating to rock points, but not on them. Good luck

I need them and use them on my boat due to the floating debris where I fish most. I use the Piranha brand because you can replace the blades individually on the hubs. This is a strong prop and a good buy. One other thing, they make a lot less noise when you are idling the big motor looking for fish to jerk.
