I plan on taking a trip down to Florida from Michigan next week . Rodman Reservoir seems like a good lake to possibly catch a trophy largemouth . Anyone know what the best boat launch for me would be . I got a bass boat . I’ve read some of the launches are sometimes un-launchable . Also any advise on where to go or not go .!? Was reading lots of stump fields . Any advise is greatly appreciated !!! Thanks in advance ,Chris

Anyone ever bass fished there ? Planning a trip in late April for bass . I've never been there . Any tips ?

I can get underneath it . I just did 2 days ago using washers so its more support and lock nuts . It was solid until I hit 10,000 3 foot waves . It's a newer z7 so I don't want to mess it up worse . Unreal how brutal Lake Erie is .

Recently fished a tournament on Lake Erie . The waves were brutal and made the holes that attaches the motor to the bow bigger causing the motor unsafe . Is this something I should take to the professionals to fix ? Or would JB weld fill them holes in ? Thanks

Pros / cons of both and which you have ....

I have a nitro Z7 that I'm taking the lowrance's off for the hummingbirds I took off old boat . I have a HB 998c SI , a HB 858c DI and I'm buying a 3rd HB for the flush mount dash . Also getting Minnkota Terrova trolling motor . Wanted to put the SI on trolling motor , the DI at console and buy the 798 SI for flush mount dash but I guess you can't have the SI on shoot thru hull . I really want to have SI at trolling motor but I need it at dash too . Any suggestions ? Thanks for your time fellas ! Much appreciated ..

All of my rods are $200+ except for my senko spinning rods ! Look no further than Walmart online ! Daiwa Megaforce 6' m rods . I cannot find a more expensive rod that compares to it for the situation . I've tried ! I use it for skipping docks . The 6' rod gives you a very accurate cast . I have 1 reel for skipping docks and I just bought 4 rods in fear of them discontinuing them . You won't regret this $20 purchase . Phenominal rod

Anyone ever use these rods ? Looking to buy a few but would like some input . Thanks

Anyone have any of these ? ThInking of buying a few . Reviews would be appreciated thanks

I have all shimano citica reels with quantum KVD rods .. Is there a better setup I could be using ? Reel ? Rod ? Line ? And most importantly jig ? Thanks

If you dream of fishing the classic oneday fish em if not then don't

You need to get your mind right before you go there 1st off ! You need to research online as much as possible . Just look at the previous reports from march for the past 10 years or so and go from there ! I'm confident in any lake I go to . Drop me off and blind fold me because I'm not there to not catch fish !!! Figure it out and go for it !!!!

That's exactly what I'm getting at . I'm seeing 22 and 23 year olds winning these things and there's gonna come a time where I won't have it anymore . Its not rocket science . I've had days i couldn't figure it out and I've had days where no one could touch me . It's a right time right place thing and the more of these opens you fish the better your odds !

Yea I was referring to gas , lodging time off work etc ... The 1250 entry isn't much of a difference from the 350 to me . It's the time outta work and all the rest that adds up to the majority . I've fished bfl's everstart series etc so I'm pretty familiar with how it goes . But I'll kick that co-angler thing around . Thanks for the advise

Yea I see where your coming from but I can't see spending around $1200 per tourney fishing co-angler and playing the beat the bank game . I did a lot of tourneys when I was younger as a co-angler and 9 outta 10 of them beat banks . And if you get on with someone good theirs not many leftovers . And when I out fished the pro , well that says everything , we weren't on fish ! I appreciate all the info though ! It's such a great sport !
