Mine come in today. Can't wait.

Currently deciding on this or the Pflueger President. If I can find the Sahara on sale over the next month I'll pull the trigger, if not I'm going with the President so I can put a little more money into a rod, baits, line, etc.

I fish the senko T-Rigged all the time. I can normally get 3-4 fish per worm and only thing I do is bite off the end of the worm where it sits on the offset part by the eye of the hook. I do that because the worm rips at the top a lot of times and you can always put the sharpened in certain ways to make it weedless. I know a lot of guys put some super glue on the worm head to keep it on there better, but I've never tried that. Lethal bait no matter how you fish it honestly.

Shimano Sahara or Pflueger President to use as a multipurpose setup. Not sure what rod I will pair with it yet, but not going to be anything over the top. I have quite a few spinning setups, but they're all cheap.

Academy has some decent digital scales for $15 to $20. I've had one for about 2 years and it works well, maybe a tenth or so off on accuracy (used some weights to test it out). You could also get a little tape measure or something to measure lengths which would give you a ballpark weight if you apply it to bass size charts.

Okay that's what I wasn't sure about. Appreciate the help fellas.

Thanks and yeah I just got this boat over the Summer. A family member is unable to use it anymore so he pretty much let me have it. When I move the transducer how should I go about covering the holes from where it used to be?

Took the boat out a little over the month ago and when putting it up I noticed the transducer to the fish finder had come in contact with the trailer which knocked it loose. I'm surprised this hasn't happened before, and the boat was a tad off center on the trailer but not by much. I'm not sure how to go about fixing it because I can't get access to the other side of the screws due to the boat flooring and two batteries bolted in on that side. I thought about using some marine glue to try and seal it back on there but I figure that would only be a temporary fix due to the fact the screws are loose now. Also I'm thinking the transducer needs to be moved a little more to the left. I'll post some pictures and let you guys look. Thanks in advance.

Just brought home my FS12T. Only have the kayak so I'll have to wait to get the rest of my accessories for Christmas/Graduation before I can put it on the water. A little heavier than I thought but looks sharp and really like new scotty rod holder position, which is a little closer than in older models.

Its selling for $399 and is normally $499. I just purchased mine Thursday and will pick it up in store probably at the end of this coming week.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm sure I'll be back with some more questions after my purchase.

Thanks for the reply, couple of questions though. I'm about 6-3 and have extremely long arms so if I did that test would I probably want to cut a few inches off the length? Also, can you explain the difference between the different classes of PFDs? And lastly what is the Extrasport offering BPS has?

I'm going to be picking up the Ascend FS12 SOT kayak from Bass Pro this weekend because they have them marked down to $400. Tough to pass on that deal. I was just curious though what are some decent paddles and PFD's that I can get without forking out top dollar? On the subject of paddles, what length is ideal for lakes and reservoirs/ponds? I have Dicks, Academy, and some other paddle board outfitter stores around me locally. Thanks in advance.

Man that's awesome this time of year. What are you guys temps?

6 lbs. 12 oz for the one you're holding

I keep it pretty simple mainly because I haven't had the time and money to invest in a bunch of setups. 6-6 Medium action on a baitcaster: Top-water spooks, Small Spinners, Texas rigged soft plastics 6-9 Medium Heavy action on a baitcaster: Senkos, Jigs, Cranks, Buzzbaits, Spinnerbaits, Pitching rod/reel 6-0 Medium action with spinning gear: Weightless finesse worms, Road-runners, Beetle Spin, Crappie/Bream if bass aren't biting

Spook

Tried bigger baits? That'd be the best way to find out. Just use the same type of bait you're using to catch the dinks except bigger. Sure you're numbers will be down but maybe you find what you're looking for. No one on here will be able to definitively tell you if there are bigger fish in there because we can't fish it.

Just got this the other day and I absolutely love it. If you can try to pair it with the microguides instead of regular guides.

I literally just bought a BPS PQ and Carbonlite Microguide on Friday. Luckily if you make them a combo it knocks $20 off both items so I lucked out anyways. BTW its an awesome combo for an angler on a budget like myself.

After reading through the previous page, man there are a lot of conference fans. Not surprising though its become pretty common here in the South these days.

Was in Death Valley last night to watch my Tigers get off to a good start against UGA.

I notice you're holding the fish a little close to the camera which adds a pound or two so I'll go ahead to deduct that and guess 7 lbs 6oz.

63 degrees this morning in Greenville, SC. Feels like a Fall football Saturday.

Unless the fish are extremely aggressive I've found that a slower roll will catch more fish. Now I've still caught bass burning the buzzbait across the top, but this year I've slowed it down and almost fished it like a spinnerbait with it just barely breaking the top of the water.
