do 3, 1198s and a 998 count? no kill like overkill......right?

its never enough.... I was lucky to start with a 18ft /150 and I just upgraded to a 21ft/250. I did this because I wanted to fish bigger water. You say you really like your boat and layout. If you like your boat then keep it. I only say keep it if you are going to continue to fish the same water you are now (you didn't say what type of water). how much can you sell your current motor for and difference of buy a really good used one? but if you are going to jump to bigger impoundments then you might want to look for a bigger set up. don't worry about size in joining a club, I got friends that dominate their club in a tracker 175 w/ 70hp.

nice ! I cant wait until the smallie bite fires up in my waters!

Catt, you sir must carry a hammer in your pocket.....

friend the ole chap to find out his story, eh?

gotcha..totally feel ya on the Asian carp front.

A-Jay - just read all 16 pages, and buddy, let me tell ya. You have more patience in your pinky finger than I display over an entire year. Hope you get out and do some fall stitching if you feel the need.

I figured it was but it was too funny not to pick at ya!

where did the other ounce go? lol

I just need my "be quite" bottle and all is well.....

I would like to know more too.....

awesome pics!!! got a trophy and everything!!

anyone know 00Mod's alibi???

I resemble that lure!!!!!!!!!

exactly...............but try explaining that to people that always need to drum up hurt feelings about something. Don't matter what, as long as it "something"

A-Jay...........that is the most awesome pumpkin EVER.

nail on head, speedbead, nail on head. I wont say much until they start acting like "animals" ........

Tom, my comment was more tongue in cheek, joking more than anything.

bottom contact = slack line to me and FC is the way here. IMO and other opinions may vary but from everything I have seen and read from much more experienced guy than me, when I am sitting on a ledge in 25 foot or dead sticking a senko, my money is on FC. I battled with the decision to go all braid/FC leader or all FC, and finally decided stay with FC.

I think as long as it does not say Goodyear on the side , its fair game.

I think you could do it with flouro........but I cant stay unhung long enough to find out! LOL

I disagree........ I still have some tatsu that was spooled up in Jan still going strong. I only re spool when I can cast to the joining knot in my backing. or did you mean respool more often cause you "never" have to respool braid?

allow me to simplify..............the stupid ones got caught. Then "we" made them inbreed to make "stupider" fish that got caught more. LOL

yeah but ours down here are on 'shooms.........up there its just the way they are AHAHHAAHAH

if you are doing bottom baits flouro is the only way to go. more feel, less line bow than braid. indeed a search will provide more info and reading than you can handle in one sitting, and give you a high level of an education on the topic as it has been discussed many times here.....it is one of the leading debates around here.
