What's the Most Fish You've Caught on Consecutive Casts?
This is not fair, I have lakes available to me that you can go hours catching bass every cast. Garnet

Ryobi Reels
The only time I threw a reel in the lake was that vmag never lasted more than a day. Had a couple spinning reels that were ok. Drag on reel handle. Garnet

bass and curlyleaf pond weed
The pond weed I fish grows very fast hits the surface and dies off. The lake will look like a red carpet. In my area bass isn't open when this is happening and the bass are spawning. Garnet

smallmouth "big problem"
It has a lot to do with mag/internet post that start with how finickating smart hard to catch and other catch phrases smalies are. The bigger smallies get the more killer they are. And it's true they can and will make the best anglers talk to them self. With them only 8 ft down I would start with a 3 hook Zara 2-3 casts then a big popper and work it hard the more splash and crash in the same spot the better. Then it's tubes. And jerk baits same thing don't let them see it good work it baby. Then dropshot. Now I would suggest a very large bottle of Jack and chase it with Miller Lite. Garnet

need more speed for electric tournements
I've only used 101/36 on 22ft bassboats. Think I would still try it for blowing weeds off prop. Wish there was electric only tourneys around here, sure would change the day on Erie. Garnet

Economy vs Bassfishing
BASS FED. is a dead Cat not the economy so much as the Corp. structure. The accountants are hired to count so when the BAS FED. falls short $ the bean counters why and the board said cut cost and show profit. I was a Club prez for the nasty split and when push came to shove was sure FLW would win for this reason. I think the State Prez that pocket large $ from their FEDS. knew accounting and ran for the exits. Ont. now has a FLW presents and I will join. Garnet

need more speed for electric tournements
My and most standard rules is to go big or stay home. I don't know the rules for electric only, and if money was no deal....................I'd get 101 MK regular hand control model and infinite, that has the regular fold out scissor deploy. With the 5 click modules on any boat you will get in situations were you would like a little slow or a little faster. If you are making long runs (sounds funny) it's very hard on batterys and run time if done 100% power. Garnet

What should I offer for this Boat?
Do a little search and print the same boat at cheaper money. Don't pal your all cards just bring out until they cry and give. We just bought a travel trailer same deal ever time we headed for the door the price got better. Garnet

Motor Guide or Minn Kota
Min Kota has had that ramp up for years. That new prop with the wings is just junk in weeds. About 10 minutes with a grinder fixed that. Everybody I know removes those wings. Garnet

Does burning baits only apply to lipless cranks?
Burning a bait is just 1 option, it's our job as anglers to find as many option with a bait and use them until we find success everyday we go fishing. Garnet

1998 Evinrude Intruder 150 hp V6 engine
They were good motors. If you start to have electronic problems change the sensor that controls the beeper it's the cheapest first. The trim has relay's, under the hood you will see 2 square boxes maybe 3/4" square if you trim quits switch the boxes around they both need to be in. And Ford and Chrylser sale the same relay cheap.

Panel power problem Triton
If theres power on 1 side of the breaker and not on the other no test is needed just replace. To prove the breaker is bad move both wires to hot side. Garnet

Stiff trolling motor pedal
Is it stiff under power, or just 1 direction. Complete cable replace is a bi..........tch and I would take it to buddy the repair guy. Check the bearing on the outer shaft top and bottom. Garnet

Backsplash over transom
I had a 389 Javlin that you could turn the key off and coast on plan for close to a mile. When it fell in the water running was your best move. Garnet

Shortening the shaft on a Minn Kota
If I was to do it I'd take the 10" off the top. The threads are on the other end. Buddy removed motor and wires complete then shorten the threaded end and re did the threads. Cutting the shaft was easy chop saw. Garnet
