How to NOT hookset fish in practice
Its easy to know what size they are.. you would be amazed how long they keep the bait even on bait with no hook... i even set the hook with no hook on my bait this way i have a good idea of how heavy the fish is and even then they dont let go... Smallmouths jump and spit the bait and we have a good look at it

Is a fishing line better than another?
Well according to spectra fishing, both Tuf-Line and Power Pro are using spectra!! You are probably right... So where are the guys who say Tuf-Line is BS and they are only using PP?

Is a fishing line better than another?
There are so many fishing lines out there, about braided lines , is there any evidence that one is better than another? Or is it only by personal preference that people swear by a certain brand? Thank you!

Smallmouth whisperer?
what you don't see on the TV shows is how long they fight the fish for to get itreally tired to have a professional looking fish land on camera. Any smallie caughtaround the boat will giggle all around where ever you grab him

Leader: 100% Floro vs Fluoro Leader
Hey guys, ive been intrigued by this for a while.... i bought a small spool of Suffix 100% Fluoro LEADER and was very pleased with the quality, i rarely broke my knots or broke on a fish... So i bought a big spool of Suffix 100% Fluorocarbon but it did not mention LEADER on the packaging... and somehow i broke alot at the braid to fluoro knot... Is this just bad luck? Or is there reallya difference between 100% Fluorocarbon Leader and 100% Fluorocarbon ????

Insane day + new PB
Just had to share my last outing with you guys...Yesterday I pull up to a ''regular spot'' some place i often fish and its always a decent spot... but yesterday was different... I pull up to the spot wich is a 1' to 3' deep sand flat next to shore with a very steep drop off to about 35'... it was dead calm, very little wind, but were flying around and diving to grad baitfish... i casted my craw where they were diving and BOOM... 5.05lbs smallie.... I fished this same spot for four hours and caught about 40-50 smallies with my new PB of 5.75lbs! just an insane day! https://imgur.com/a/ZrmEN[/IMG]

Most finesse techniques?
I fish a strech of the st-lawrence river that is very pressured, there is a tournament and even two every week. I'm fishing sand flats and i find that those fish are getting smarter and spookier. I usualy fish a wacky rigged senko or a small tube with 1/8 weight. I'm looking for the most finesse techniques out there... break out the secrets here please I might try the good old split shot rig next time!

How Do You Catch Following Bass
Hey guys, ive been fishing the shallows these days with my partner, it often happens that I hook a fish and as im bringing him to the boat I see 2-3 big ones following him, my partners pulls out a senko or a tube real quick and fires it at them but its often too late because they saw us, they show no interest in the bait. How to you catch those big ones following the fish that is actually hooked?? Let me know!

Livewell Problem
Just found this photo of the switches before they were wraped, so there is two almost identical switches, I have a 2in1 livewell, its a large livewell separated with a plastic sheet with holes in it. Can anyone explain to me how to use those switches properly?
-
Livewell Problem
Wow that's great! A lot of help, i will try to find out if the switched are wrong. But I always left this one to the empty position, according to this PDF it means that it would also let the water come in, wich is prbably why after fshing for a while and trying to go to another spot the boat would hardly come to plane, its getting water in the boat all the time.

Livewell Problem
Hey guys I think I have a livewell problem, I have put a water hose in the livewell while the boat is outside the water and I can't get the wells to hold the water. When im on the water I realized that if i put my livewells on manual they will fill but always be filling, if i put them on circulate they will drain. I feel that the problem is that it can't hold the water in there. If i leave them on manual they will fill but drain the battery. Also i fell like the guy who wrapped the boat did not put the every tags( Fill/manual/circulate) in its place as I have two identical switches. And I feel like this switch is not working as nothing is haenning when im trying to use it If someone has a Nitro NX882 maybe you could tell me if my switches are wrongly assigned. And for others what is the proper way to operate the livewells? thank you!
