I use it year round not only to bulk up the presentation, but add some movement. When the tails of a bruiser evil twin start going my spinner has a big know presence. As for trailer hook, I just got some this year after numerous short strikes last year. So I figure why not try it. Thing is, fish what works for you, in your area. Your going to get about a 50/50 agreement on trailer hooks, and same with wether to use a trailer or not.

Pitch it, let it drop and bottom pop it. Throw a craw on it and there you have it, imitation defensive craw.

It's hard to tell the size, but regardless. A few fish will not impact the lake a lot. However when you see 100+ and in specific species than yes, it can put a pinch. Your local DNR probably looks into winter kills and can easily determine if stocking is needed. And again if it is a hand full that can partly be due to natural selection of the weak not making through rough conditions.

X2 on winter kill. When it's a bad winter O2 levels in the water can lower to deadly levels. I know there are a couple of lakes MN that they airrate.

Oh don't get me wrong I will make them chuckle. But I'm not out there throwing rods, cursing at the top of my lungs. And I save my expletives for larger fish, and lost lures.

I don't have a word/s, but more like a slew of rather colorful words. But it's not like I am out there cussing like a sailor.

What about the Fat Ike by Rapala? I know those are larger cranks, but not sure if that is the range you are looking for.

Thats what I thought. I seen the plug next to the starter cylinoid and was sure that was part of the charging plug. Thanks for the answer!

Yeah there is information on electric start (which I already have) and other information. A lot of it is the same from my old 84 9.9 Johnson. But there is no information about the charging system. There is a charging coil option, but I don't know how to tell if it is installed and if the charge is through a different output or back through the original cord.

So I have been going back and forth between a friend and father in law about my engine. My friend insist my kicker (which i use as my main engine on my 14 aluminum boat) has a built in battery charging system, and my father in law argues no it doesn't. How I tell? I will post a pic when i get on my main computer.

I have always though Lews was more pricey than Abu. You can get 3 (imo) decent reels for under $100 in the Abu line, but I thought Lews starts around $100. Lews from my knowledge has a better starting point for the $ on bearings.

X2 on Cabelas bag. The one step under magnum might do just right for you. I personally use the magnum and love it. The only problem I had was it was a little to big to start out, so I just had to full the empty spaces, this leading to the classic bait monkey dilemma.Plus you can get it without trays and save some cash.

Big bit craw in 3 & 4 in are what I use for trailers on jigs. I love them personally. Plus they are cheap

My mini loot came in. An order of swims from the Flee market, 2 custom made chatters by a great forum member, and lastly 2 new chatters from TW (A Z-Man project chatter and a D&M in baby bass) Oh and my new PFD I can not wait until the season opens to try out all my new toys.

Same here, clear, eagle, golden, otter are my main lakes. Pulled my pb on clear (6.2lb 21 in)

1.38 versus 2.0 in thickness. That works out to an extra 3 to 4 more boxes.. But a $70 bill to switch over. Defiantly something to think about, and when it gets more crowded something that I will look into. Thank you for the suggestion. Maybe I can do a local trade our hit the bay and find a deal.

I have noticed that our members here are top notch. They are passionate about the sport and sharing that passion with others is part of that. Remember this generosity, and pass it on when you can.

I won't go customer divider. I don't see the need to go one lure per slot. I can curently fit 8 of the Cabelas boxes and 1 spinner. (I'm only using 7 boxes with an added spinner box. I found by not storing them upright, but laying down I can fit an extra box. With the thinner box I might be able to get an extra box in there but not attack the lures at tight in the current slots.

So I was strolling through the 2015 guide and was a little shocked and sportier on the new catch and release opener. Before if you wanted an earlier season you had to go up north. However May 9th - the 22nd is now opener for bass C&R only, and the 23rd is the normal opener. I am stoked and looking forward to this 2 weeks more of bass fishing.

Yeah they have a great walleye population down there from what I have seen.

Love that bait. I can connect a clip swivel and still get the same action. They work best with a couple cranks and dead stick it. Great tight wobble. Now I think they are floaters so you might not be getting the right placement in the water. Maybe a line is stuck on the treble? Other than that I couldn't see why it isn't working? Even with the pole held high they still dive.

How about 1 bag 10 trays.. you don't want that gas guzzling beast anyways.
