It is wired to the crankin battery............

console ff is turned off............and he still has trouble.........

I thought maybe I should elaborate. He has been having trouble with interference. He thinks maybe he has the transducer in the wrong place. Its @ the very bottom of motor, directly under the shaft. Should it be as close to the front as possible? I cant imagine it should go close to the prop as this would probably make things worse. Any other feedback as to why he doesnt get a clear reading would help. Cart, thanks for the response. Dont mean to sound stupid but what is a tm mount style transducer??

My buddy has a 1991 Champion with a 150 Mercury Mariner.(dont know if thats relevent but thought I'd put it in there) He has a 82 lb thrust Motor Guide trolling motor. He would like to know where is the best place to mount the transducer on his trolling motor? Directly under shaft?

the boat is an 18 ft 1997 champion with a 150 mercury marnier.

I would advise reading the fishing articles here @ bassresource.They will give you tips on EVERYTHING including equipment, baits, etc................. Its an excellent place to start!

Cold Muddy Water = Head to the bar! ;D ;D

Hello All! Quick question. What is the best way to deal with 2-3 ft rollers due to high wind? Sideways against the waves? Straight into the wind? Need a little advice on how to deal with this kind of situation.

Do the same(for the most part) that you would do for a lm. Tubes,jigs, worms all should do just fine for the bronzebacks...........

Good Luck and go get her!!

I wouldlook for the clearest, warmest water you could find, then start there. Try dropshotting or carolia rigging underwater humps, creek channels, etc........A jerkbait(suspending) might not be a bad idea either.........

I'm in agreement with the other posts. Structure is always better for the bigger fish!

Why didnt they just keep the fish alive in the livewell until it could be weighed on a certified scale, then release it? I would not have kept the fish but it still would have been on my wall!

Largemouth = 9 lbs (Cedar Bluff, KS) Bronze = 5 lbs ( Pueblo Res, Co) Those are the goals and where they will be caught!

Here in Colorado.............about 62 degrees..........

A good topo map is a good place to start. Look for the main lake points, channels, etc....fish the same cover/structure as you would from shore.

Pueblo reservoir here in Colorado has MANY of the ledges you describe. We have caught a ton of Smallies off the ledges on a 3in tube. Drag the tube slowly...........I would also hop on the jerkbait bite as well..........

Had a tip from a guy about fishing out of the back of a boat in a tournament........ "Downsize and slow down" That has worked wonders for my fishing!

I will fish a brush hog on a texas rig with a fairly light bullet weight(1/8-1/4) and a 4/0 wide gap hook. I will also dip the tails in garlic dip-n-glo..............

1/8 oz speedloader jig with a green pumpkin crooked creek tube................

There is no better teacher than experience. Spend as much time as you can on the water. Watch what other people do and it never hurts to take notes, or keep a log of some sort! Good Luck!!!!
