Night Tournaments
We fished one a couple weeks ago. I am not a fan it takes up the whole weekend. You are up early getting stuff ready on Saturday then sleep all day on Sunday. Trust me momma gets bent when you spend your day off sleeping instead of hanging with the family.

American Bass Anglers
I fish the aba couples. I have a hard time registering for tournaments off their website so just pay at the ramp. When buying your membership you then gotta call them and give them your ssn# kinda a joke.

Hydrowave
Well I put one on my boat tonight. I listened to the sounds and to my ears I couldn't help but thinking... I just spent a chunk on this gimmick? Something about it has always intrigued me. I have been a coyote hunter for along time and have seen what catching a coyote in the right mood can do to an electronic caller. I have the scars to prove it. I see this is real similar. We are fishing an over night smalley tournament this weekend and I am anxious to turn it on. This particular lake gives us all fits when they go back down during the late summer. It is loaded with bait balls (shad and smelt) The smalleys hang on the bottom, in the rocks. I was hoping by using my electronics, it would pull them up off the bottom and expose themselves to be dropshotted.

Question About Batteries, Bilge Pumps, And Aerators.
You can put a plug on it just like a boat or a camper. Hook the wire up to the taillight wire of the plug and run with your headlights on. Done and done

Smalleys After Dark...
We have a Tx coming up next week, we fish all night. I have always had ok luck with the usual jitterbug buzzbait ect. But am curious about soft plastics. Do you of you fish black or plum colored soft plastics? The generally feed on crayfish during the full moon so thinking about throwing a black beaver or black/blue craw. Tell me what you would do.

What Are The Best Add-Ons/customizations You've Added To Your Boat And Trailer?
5050 LED lights off Ebay. wired up in all compartments. Especially the livewells is a must have! Also put them around the deck of my boat with a remote control dimmer switch. a seriously easy upgrade for about $60 total. I would agree the USB port is good you can get one at walmart in the auto sections that is USB and a cirgarette lighter. a 12v PowerBubbles installed in my livewells I wouldn't be without either. It keeps the fish even more lively then they are in the lake. CD player to play the hickhop stuff that gets the girls in bikinis dancing.

Sqaurebill Tips
Id say your rod is too stiff amd its pulling out try a medium. I don't set the hook just reel hard with rod tip down. I have lost more good ones on the jump them I have ever lost during the fight.

Hardest Thing To Do...
Yes but I am quickly seeing that even tho I got a premium price for my ranger replacing it will also take a premium price. I looked at the champ the other night.. BEAUTIFUL boat! But the layout left less storage than in my 18'. I have since found a couple late 90s Triton 20's that are lake ready so may head in that direction if nothing else pans out.

Hardest Thing To Do...
I bought my first boat a couple years ago. Always wanting to own a Ranger I purchased one knowing that I would someday "upgrade". Well that time has come. I had a gentleman come by yesterday and pay me what I had in the boat. It wil make him a great boat and he will take care of her I have a couple boats scheduled too look at, a 95 Gambler 21' with a 200 Evinrude and a Champion 20' with a 200 Merc. Either one makes a quality boat, I know I struggle with the boy side that wants the cool super fast boat or the more defined fishing boat. Do I want the sports car or the SUV? What to do What to do.... Still a Ranger guy at heart....
