Horseshoe crazy

Is the one I purchased going to work or should I return it?

I purchased a XTM 9 20 T transducer to epoxy to the hull. I watched a you tube video and it looks like a one shot deal. Does anyone have any experience installing one? What kind of epoxy should I purchase? I'm worried I'm gonna get some air bubbles in the epoxy. Any tips or suggestions would be helpful.

Looking at getting a 859ci DI with a Navionics chip free at Bass Pro Shops. I dont know much about the Navionics card and have seen a few things on the LakeMaster on TV. Any input would help! thanks

Just got a new boat and some electronics! I ordered 798ci HD SI on sale to put on the bow. I saw 859Ci DI with a naviontics map card at Bass Pro Shop. I have a of question. Is Navionics better than the Lakemaster chip?

Looking for a boat to fish some tournaments from the front. Just so happened a guy that is in the club posted he was selling his Ranger R72. It seems to be in great shape and is a 2 owner and he has fished out of it for 11 years. The only think that really concerns me is rod storage. I dont think Ill be able to get much more than 6'8 in the lockers! I have quite a few 7' and no place to put them. Thought about the Bac-Rac to help. I know that the back deck is small enough as it is,adding 5-8 rods in the could be dangerous. I would hate for co to step on them. Does anybody have any experience adding some rod storage to smaller boats. Any suggestions on storage or the boat would be appreciated.

OK, well what is the best way to catch a few? Its my first time going to Gville and we are only going for 3 days. So any info would help.

Heading down to Guntersville this spring. Im wanting to try a umbrella rig. I'm really not set up to throw something that heavy but I have old 7'6 Heavy that is rated up to 2oz. So what rig do you think that I can throw and give me my best chance to catch a few.

I thought that this was a interesting article when I read it. http://www.bassmaster.com/blog/tell-truth

Good to see all the Indiana guys! I'll do that!

Anywhere from 1/8 to 3/8

I am looking for a set-up for casting tubes, senkos and flukes. I know the rod is just as important as the reel. I thinking about a curado or a lews TP. Any input would appreciated, Thanks

Graeat answers! Thanks Do you guys feel like the noise and the weight dragging the bottom attract the fish?

When do you guys pin your weight on a t-rig? Also what are the advantages of not pinning with a bobber stop?

How important do you find the color of your bait vs the action? Which is more important? I try to buy a Bright color , a natural color and a dark color. How do you guys buy baits without buying the entire rack.

Nope didnt know anything about it, but i do now. I guess ill lower it back down and try that plug? Thanks

I bought a Hummingbird fish finder this year. When I installed it I must have installed the transducer to low cause I would get a rooster tail. So i rised the transducer which stopped the tail but now I get a crazy read out at full speed. Any ideas would help.

Gonna buy a reel for my 7'1 ***. Had pretty much decided on a Lews tournament mg or bb-1. But after reading so many great reviews about the BPS pro qualifier thought about giving it try just don't want to be disappointed. I have a couple of revo s just wanted to try something different and maybe save a few dollars. So many great reels to choose from in the 100 to 150 dollar range,its hard to choose. Thanks

1. I keep my hunting cloths in a scent free bag with ceder branches in it. 2. I wash my cloths twice after I run the washer with only scent free detergent once. 3. I rarely dryer my cloths in a dryer, I usually air them. If I have to cause of the temp. I wipe the the dryer out real good with scent free spray. 4. I change my clothes at my truck and spray down everything before I go out. 5. I also shower with scent free soap. I hope this helps. I really try to be scent free as possible. I do all that and am lucky to see a couple of shooters a year. A guy I work with wears is work boots (he works in the foundry) to hunt always kills a 170 or 160 inch deer with his bow every year. So I dont know if its a waste but I dont feel right if I dont.

Good work! I lgotta love it when all comes together! Nice buck nice shoot!

Do guys think I can get away with the ML rods or do they do have enough back bone for shakeyhead, dropshotting and wacky

Thanks guys! Im going a local bass club this spring as a non boater ( but own a boat). The problem is I have never fished in a tournament before. I have fished forever but never just targeted Lmb, mostly crappie and whatever we could get to bit our Lindy rig. Im trying put together a set of rods and presentations/technique to master and become comfortable with. After reading magazines and watching videos. Im just confused on what I need to be successful. So I thought that this question would put in the right direction. Thanks again

If you could only fish with 5 setups (techniques) for a whole year what would you rig up. Be as specific as you want.(rod,colors,weight...)

Just wanted to say thanks for all the great information.

I'm fishing Brookville lake . I have been there a handful of times and seem to only pick up a fish here and there. I have tried to find out some of info you asked about. I would say the clarity is stained,the max depth of 116, as far as forage I know they eat shad and crawdads.just curious why the NW part of the lake. Thanks guys for all your help!
