Hey guys, I have a tournament coming up in a few weeks and my 20 hp motor just quit working, so I am stuck fishing the tournament with a trolling motor only. Does anyone have any advice on how to approach the tournament or have any suggestions on what to do? We are launching out of McKees run launch area. Thanks for any advice

Its hard to beat a jig, wacky rigged senko, or a drop shot on tough day.

I will use a topwater all day long when it is cloudy or overcast conditions. If it is sunny out, I like to use them right at first light and last light. For line, I like to use either heavy mono or 50 lb. braid.

Thanks for the help guys.

That's a nice fish anywhere, but especially in Pa. Congrats on a great fish.

Hey guys, I just spooled up some rods with everywhere from 8 to 15 pound test FloroClear. What is every ones preference on what type of knot to use? Also, can I tie a Palomar knot with FloroClear? Thanks for the help

Thanks for the help guys. I just got it open. I just had to apply a little more force.

The reel did come with a manual, but it did not say how to open it up.

I picked up a tourney special reel at my local BPS because it was on sale. I got home and started looking at it and I cant figure out how to remove the side plate to get to the internal braking system. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I kind of thought it was going to be tough, but any advice on what kind of structure to fish and what lures to try?

Hey Guys, Im taking my first trip of the year to Raystown on Friday. Im kind of stuck on what to do since Raystown is usually a tough lake to fish. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to try. I would really appreciate any advice so I don't get skunked on my first trip. Thanks

I might be going to Raystown next Friday if the weather is decent. Does anyone have any ideas on what to use and what kind of structure they might be on. Thanks

Hey guys, I am looking at getting a new fishfinder for my jon boat to fish small tournaments in. I am looking for something in the less than 100 dollar range. I was thinking of the Garmin Echo series or the Lowrance x-4 series. If any of you have any experience with these or could share some pros and cons for each that would help out a lot. Thanks

Hey guys, I have a small jon boat that doesn't have a livewell in it but I would like to start fishing tournaments out of it. I was thinking about building one out of a hard plastic ice cooler. Does anyone have any experience with making one of these? If so, what things do I need to purchase to make the livewell suitable for fishing an all day tournament? Ex. pumps, aerators, things like that. Thanks

I haven't been out at all yet but I am hoping to get out in the next week or so.

What kinds of retrieves are you guys using when fishing jerkbaits in the spring? Also what are some decent jerkbaits to throw? Thanks

How is everyone doing at Raystown recently?

I might be going to Raystown this sunday...any suggestions on what to try

Any suggestions?

I am looking to get a new spinning combo from BPS. I will be using this for shakey heads and dropshot rigs. I have two in mind. 1. Bps extreme rod and reel combo 6'8 med light/fast and 2.Bps carbonlite rod with a PQ reel 6'9 med light fast Let me know what you guys think will be the better combo. Thanks

Hey guys, I havent been over to raystown yet this year. Just wanted to see what mood the lake is in and what is working. Thanks

How is Glendale doing lately? I havent been out there in a while and just wanted to see if anyone was having any luck.
