i have a 16 foot crestliner storm. first thing i did was switch out the trolling motor and got lithium batteries for 24 volt 82lb thrust?best thing ive done to the boat.

i guess im the only person to look at an overgrown yard and say "ill do it tomorrow" to go fishing

just secretly unhook the trolling batteries?

i think i could? as long as you let me sling a buzzbait too. ??

congrats on it. have fun

ive got 2 50ah ionic lithiums for my trolling motor. have them for one season so far along with a 100ah for my cranking and electronics battery. i feel like that was a good choice, no problems so far. not trying to knock dakotas but i was hearing off of youtube anglers having alot of mechanical and customer service issues.

honestly speed for one. high winds or current for another reason. but with your raider i doubt u will take it out on high wind days or alot of current just for safety reasons. a 30 or 45lb would be plenty i believe.

NICE.let us kno how the clarity is with that 7"screen. i was looking to upgrade my 5"to either a 7,8,or 9 humminbirds

strike king bitsy boss jigs- ball head, football light wire

mono is just fine. the only thing for me about fluoro is sensitivity. i can feel a good bit better with fluoro. dont really care about the invisibility factors. i still use mono on alot of moving baits.

we lost a good man

-ethanol free gas. and fuel treatment doesnt hurt either. -routine maintenance like oil changes and lower unit oil changes aint that hard. do it before you are done for the winter. -get some of those moisture absorbing packs and stuff them in all your compartments. -i take my batteries out and inside my house. then keep them on a trickle charger... im sure someone will also give ya some better tips

i try alot of things. i do like paddletails, but i cut the flange off. less drag in the water and more erratic. i feel it causes reaction strikes better.

yea i rarely see those guys during the weekday. mostly weekends. I dont kno. i was told by one of them that maybe 3 of them have about 5 counties. i would really like to kno what our state does with that extra surplus of fishing license puchases past couple of years??

what i think it has to do with. having a fish seeing something different than what hes always seeing. im sure if all you throw and every one throws is a senko. im sure hell get accustomed to it. then again i fished ponds where it seemed i could catch em on a rubberband.... so i dont kno?

most u get outta me is a just shakin my head. fishing is my relax time... cant stress me out

i fish a lake called blue marsh. all the creeks are all no wake zones. i think either boaters dont know what that is or just dont care. i guess 5mph isnt their thing. this is just a venting post. i swear this is true. had a guy yell "what.... is this too fast for you" then preceded to do donuts cuz i was staring at him going at least 15 mph. i just laughed it off hoping someone with authority would see.

crestliner storm 16 or 17. i have the 16 and can do everything u wanted to do

i dont go under 15lb mono. but i use shallow squarebills for just that. its target fishing for me. i dont worry about how deep it goes. i believe mono lets the bait pop off cover better.

if they are bass. carolina rig or dropshot

great morning on the water at blue marsh. from 8-11 i worked the buzzbait today pretty much the whole time. cuaght 6. biggest went about 4 1/2. maybe one 3lber. the others were probably ones and twos. pretty good for a quick morning. getting busy there though. im gonna soon only go there on bad weather days. less boat traffic.?

finally got on a bite at blue marsh. they were on the jig today. caught 3 all pretty solid. one was over 4lbs. cant beat a jig bite. that lil "tic"!

well blue marsh might be a place to start. maybe on a weekday when its not so busy. has easy ramps and half the lake is a no wake zone. maybe that would help.

i think that might be my problem..since i rush through things and sometimes use a screwdriver as a hammer.Lol. i should work on that!! Jk

Just sayin... im not too electronically inclined, but im learning. today i just finished putting new wire for my new motorgiude 24volt tour 80 lb thrust trolling motor. replaced the stock 8 gauge wire 40 amp breaker to 6 gauge wire with a 60 amp breaker. seemed pretty easy. a lil too easy. and get this it works!
