Human Scent
I just use a little garlic and salt in my soft baits, i dont know if it helps the bite but i believe they will hold on to the lure longer, especially with salt. 8)

trolling motor
Ok Guys I finally got my trolling motor problem solved. Where the battery cables connect to the battery there is a circuit breaker. It went bad. It was a real head scratcher. The breaker was letting some power through some of the time. Other times it worked fine. It also has a reset button on it that I didnt know about. Took it out on lake today It worked like new. Got skunked on the fish though. Cost me 60.00 to get it fixed. :'( Mostly labor. The breaker is only 7.00. I know where it is now though! ;D 8) Thanks for everyones input ;D

life jackets
I am thinking of buying an inflatable life jacket. I have never owned one so how about some input as to the pros and cons. Also is automatic better than manual inflatable. I know they sure look more comfortable than a standard vest. 8)

$16,000...what boat to buy
Get a Triton alum. You should be able to get a 176 or 186 with a 90hp for that price. I have a 170 with a 75 hp merc that i like well,though now i wish i would have gotten bigger. 8)

hitch
I currently have my hitch ball on my bumper. i have a small alum. bass boat so towing capacity is not a concern but the bumper is kinda high so the boat doesnt haul level. What kind of receiver hitch is good? Also the boat doesnt accept fuel well with the front so high.

How to get better at what we do.
1. Take care of the environment. Its THE #1 thing. If we don't have clean,litter-free waterways, then we will not have a place to fish. Its as simple as that. 2. Take a kid fishing. Show him the right way to fish and have fun doing it. 3. Do unto other anglers as you would have them do unto you. In other words don't blow by them at 50mph within 10 yds and don't horn in on the spot that they are fishing. I could write volumes on the times this has happenedto me! 4. Practice,Practice,Practice.
