Ice out expected today on Winni!

Some one just caught a 13lb-11oz large mouth from the shore on Tennessee's Chickamauga Lake. Story on the B.A.S.S. page, sweet catch!

Is the lake all open? there is a open tourny on it Sunday and great choice for a boat

Reading the posts here I don't feel alone with my addiction to fill my boat with what I think I might need not what my wife thinks I should have.

Anyone planning on fishing the Northeast Bassmasters Mousam ME open? I just talk to Shawn Hooper the club president and he feels confident ice out on Mousam is expected to be Tuesday so it won't hurt the open happening on the 20th Sadly I won't be able to make it because of work. Moose the following week he is having someone keep a eye on it.

Happier then a clam in the water cleaning my boat and putting a new radio in.

Swains is usually my first choice to run the big motor on it's small so if something happens I can use my trolling motor to get back to the ramp, I know a couple drop offs that stage bass when the water hits the 50's

Well, work transferred me closer to home. Now I can bring my boat to work and go straight to fishing when I get out at 1 in the afternoons It's killing me having to wait and hearing about you guys fishing already.

When I was a tournament director for my bass club we had to go to Lewiston ME to do the lake pics for our tournaments there was a anti hunting/fishing group there. I asked them if a deer or a child were on the road in front of you which one were you going to hit with your car they would not answer me!

Black Tracker Avalanche

Been fishing with Wayne and his son for almost 20 yrs Will be interesting how their Mousam and Moose Opens will fair with the ice. I retired tournament fishing but Wayne keeps trying to drag me back in lol.

Just bought my Maine weed sticker so I am ready for two states to fish soon This wind is perfect for melting ice.

Is the river passable for boats? I remember many years ago (20) going through it with my bass boat and a couple spots I had to raise my motor to sneak through.

Welcome to the NH thread, If you haven't already feel free to read the whole tread you just might get a few chuckles. This is a fun group and never be afraid to ask anything you'll get a answer from someone here.

If you still want to fish Winni I would strongly suggest to get a Bizer map

Two of my rods are always rigged for senkos or stick worms wacky rigged or texas rigged.

Had this for 4 yrs now. Tracker doesn't make them anymore because they are so expensive to make its .125 thickness what they called bullet proof aluminum. they made it using hydro pressing same way they make planes. mine is a 2004 with a xr6 150. when empty i can hit over 60 mph in it. she is a very stable boat able to go through anything Winni gives out, Awesome storage in it as you can see a dozen rods and still room for more. I have had people tell me no way its a aluminum boat till I show them where a couple weld marks are.I got a good deal for this at Dover Marine even came with a 36vt 101 lb thrust trolling motor and two lowrance w/gps units. But at the moment going no where till ice out someplace.

I have a Tracker Avalanche she's all aluminum

I would not trust any lakes for a couple weeks even if you don't visibly see the ice. You might not see the ice but it could be sunken under a couple inches of water and smash your boat up good. At least my boat is out of hibernation

at 9:0.1 your talking 6 ft of line in less then a second using normal turning @ 2 revolutions a second or so.

I was figuring a pure pitching rod set up using it, There's no way you could get a usable cadence for anything else.

Has anyone seen the new revo rocket reel? it's a 9.0:1 gear and pulls in 37 inches of line per crank.

Google ram mounts you can see all the different styles I have one for my front fish finder its a movable stick type mount.
