Go to the fishing resume board and do a lot of reading. Format a plan and follow through. You might want to PM Senko77. He is fishing the BFL. Might be able to give you some tips. Kelley

I was GOTZ!! Kelley

That is correct. Get out and go to some of the boat places and talk them into sponsering you two with a boat. Kelley

d**n Burley, I was looking forward to meeting another 'HILLBILLY'. Kelley

Thanks Bobby. Kelley

Not familiar with that Trail but most Trails have boaters and non boaters. Non boaters are paired up with boaters unless it is a pardner Trail. I have fished both type tournaments and prefer the pardner type. If you get paired up with a butt-hole you won't catch many because of his boat positioning. Kelley

I think it was determined by the makers of the lake map memory card that go into the GPS/fish finder. Kelley

I haven't had very good luck with the Palomar knot. Try the fishing fool knot. Google to see how to tie. Kelley

Sounds to me like you don't have the cable in the proper place on the motor end. Did you have the control box apart? Kelley

Very good for a short outing Mrs. It just takes a few minutes to rejuvenate when fishing and catching. Kelley

Good one Gary!!! ;D Just never seen a wine and cheese party in Ky. It's usually a whiskey and crackers with rag bologna kinda party around here! :-? LOL CJ, where I am originally from in the opposite end of the state from you it was spring water and poke salad parties. No $s involve that way. Kelley

I have a winch(low speed) for crankbaits, A 6.3 to 1(general purpose), and 7, 7.1to 1 for all other applications(4 Revos STX HS and 3 Quantum PT HS). All have their place in my arsenal. Kelley

Can you get to the the under side of the deck and check if there are any nuts on the screws? If not drill the heads of the screws with a big enough bit that the head comes off. Kelley

Nice ride!!!!!! Kelley

I called my friend and he had the boat custom made in Louisiana in the 70's by a guy that made boats for commercial fishermen. Sorry my mistake!! Kelley

Get a 16X72. You can do all the things you mentioned and have room and stability. I have a good friend that has one and it fishes 3 very comfortably. Kelley

If you can find it KROLL penetrating oil is the best I have found. Mostly industrial use. Kelley

I like 1/8oz. I roll my own.

Bowfin on a Chatterbait. 16lb Blue cat on a Buzzbait.

I haven't had any problem with Fluorocarbon since I learned how to tie a knot that would not break. I find it as easy as mono. The only thing I still use mono for is cranks. Learn how to educate your thumb and adjust your brake to eliminate overruns. Kelley

Try putting some penetrating oil on and let soak for a while. More than likely rust holding it. Kelley

No, The fish can't see if I am fishing a chartreuse reel on a blue rod. Kelley

I fished there about ten years ago and caught a bunch of Smallmouths. The largest being 3lbs. Kelley
