Just get an Abu 6000 or 7000.

I caught a 17" out of my kayak while dragging a full size brush hog through some sunken trees. I thought I had a decent bass. Nope, huge crappie

I went to buy one today, couldn't find it for the base model or DI. I know Humminbird will change out transducers, but is there anywhere I could order the Helix 5 base or DI model with a trolling motor transducer?

I'd appreciate it. I can't get a good gauge on how big the screen is. I hope it's bigger than my cell phones!

Could you post a picture with you holding the unit or any other better size comparison?

95 degrees yesterday and today. HOT!

My College friend Cory for put me on fish today. https://www.facebook.com/TennesseeValleyMuskieAuthority First fish 45" Second fish 46.5" Melton Hill Lake, Oak Ridge, TN

Here in about 5 weeks it's dropshot fishing time. Fatigue from spinning reels is real. My wrist already aches.

Drop shot, big worms and 5XD and 6XDs are what we're catching em on up here. I'm finding fish from 9-22'.

Spot remover and trick worms. I also like spot removers and rage craws if I fell like losing money :tongue8: <---- that's what the fish do with Rage Baits.

Slider heads exclusively for all my salamanders.

I've almost started to flsh flukes exclusively with underspins. I catch big fish routinely with them.

I have a 15 year old Ugly Stick that I fish out of my kayak with, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I've told my wife that it's probably one of my prized possesions. I've caught more fish with it than probably any two rods I've combined.

Think they look amazing. OMC for life!

Strike King Series 5 and 6. I fish Sexy Shad pretty routinely in clear water. My bite lately is on the XD Strike Kings. Chart Shad and Sexy Shad. Two weeks ago they were on 3XD. Last week 5XD. This week I stocked up on 6XDs in case they are deeper.

Frenzy Vibe.

The last boat I sold was a Grumman Cayuga. http://imgur.com/a/CZcTE I dug it. I'd have kept it if it were a flat bottom though. I like fishing tailwaters - my newest boat is too big for that mess :X

Another guy named Mac who likes Presidents!? We should be friends! I have a Trion, 2 Presidents, a President XT, Supreme and Supreme XT now. Love them. In order: Supreme, President XT, Trion are my favorites. Not really sure why, but I absolutely love my wife's wood-handled Trion. I took it apart completley and regreased/lubed. It's amazingly smooth.

Surely, he's just kidding because he wants more Abus for hismelf. I mean he's gotta be right? :Idontknow: Get an Abu C3. Clean out the grease/lube and reapply yourself. When casting, hold on it's side. I can cast my 6501 C3 with 80lb test a mile (1 oz. baits minimum helps )

However long you want! I tend to make 5' leaders 'cause I hate retying.

Flukes are $2.29 at Dicks . I spent loads last year on flukes, trick and finesse worms when they had a buy one get one 50% off sale. Dicks may ship to Canada.

That's my uncles favorite! Probably my second. I like a Zoom Mag II in Green Pumpkin! I've probably caught the most fish on a Bold Bluegill colored Roboworm.

double split rings on spoons/flutters clear straws to keep senkos on longer remove front treble on small cranks when fishing around timber or want it higher in the water column

Barefoot! I wear Chacos mostly if I'm not barefoot. If it's cold out, I just wear some boots.

Jeez. That's a load!
