Mr. Twister Shear Magic
Has anyone used the above? It is a gadget attached to the trolling motor with sharp teeth. While weeds/grass spin around while stuck to the prop, this thing cuts them off. BPS sells them. thanks Larry

Hello, Does anyone have any experience/opinions of the above DF. We are about to buy our first boat, 1997 Lowe Roughneck 170. We plan on mounting the new deptfinder on the bow.

BOW MOUNTED TROLLING MOTOR ON JON BOAT
Hello all, My fishing buddy and I have an old jon boat; sort of narrow but works OK. We currently use a transon mount trolling motor; the type that clamps on the transom. Is there a way it can be modified to mount at the bow? It is obviously easier for boat control with a bow mounted trolling motor. thanks for your help Larry

Being in the DOG HOUSE
It may be too late for this one, but keep it in mind for the next time. You have to tell her that there was a life threatening event. Boat was leaking, people shooting at you, etc. Get her so wound up and happy that you are OK, she'll forget about being a little late. I have actually used this and it did work. good luck

Carolina Rig Tips
A guide turned me onto a Carolina Keeper. You avoid using a swivel and 3 knots. It is basically a round piece of hard plastic you thread on your line. When you squeeze it with pliers, it opens enough to slide it up/down your line. You put your weight above the keeper. It allows for real easy changing of leader lengths. If you fish in heavy cover/structure, use 2. Bass pro has them. http://www.basspro.com/servlet/catalog.TextId?hvarTextId=23166&hvarTarget=search&cmCat=SearchResults this is the link for the product on bass pro's web site. good luck Larry
