I too own a Wilderness System Ride 115x, and I love it, and you have plenty of room for growing within kayak fishing.

Has anybody used the Garmin echo 551dv fish finder? I'm thinking about installing one on my kayak.

Glad you asked this, I have been thinking about building my own rods too. Now, I'll wait for a few replys to your questions to assist me.

What about the fuse under the console, did you have change the fuse to a higher amperage?

How did you correct or cover the two wholes that didn't match up?

I would rather not cut the plug off of my Motorguide and splice it on the Minnkota, does the Minnkota not come with a plug. Also, my plug on my boat is a 4 prong plug and the prongs are in the patern of a square, is this standard for a Minnkota? I don't want hard wire the trolling, prefer to use the factory plug in. My charging system is a multi charger so I should be ok with a 24volt.

My 2003 Procraft came with a factory installed Motor-guide 12volt 43pnd thrust trolling motor and I would like to upgrade. I fish mostly rivers and the trolling motor is not strong enough to push/pull my boat against the current. So, I'm wanting to switch the Motor-guide 12volt 43pnd thrust out for a Minnkota 24volt 72 pound thrust. Is this possible to do? Will the Minnkota mount to the same place as the motor guide without drilling new wholes in my boat? Will the trolling motor plug for the front of the boat remain the same or does each brand have their own type of plug?

Great, thank you guys.

what size did you prefer, 3.5" or the 4.25" and with what size hook?

Advice on using the Gene Larew Biffle Bug. What's the best way to rig the Biffle Bug and be successful? Color preference and size? I'll be using it mostly in the river.

Flukes have produced a lot off nice bass for me while fishing from the banks. Texas Rig them weightless and have fun.

Great advice, the water temps and conditions around here are about the same. I'll give the these a try.

Been reading a lot of articles that others have posted throughout the forum, this seems to be a good one. Spent my whole life bass fishing and just this year took up tournament bass fishing. I'm looking forward to your input.
