I would say just follow the guide boats. They will show you where the fish are. About a month ago they were hitting topwaters at dawn and dusk. We had some luck near Eisenhower bridge but that’s a bit away from buncombe. You should have some luck near washita point and patter flats as well. Hope this helps.

What part of the lake will you be on?

Bryce Archie at broken bow lake chuck justice at McGee creek google should send u to their websites. Good luck!

can u attach a pic of your bunks/rollers on your jet ski trailer? Thinking of making an adjustment to mine. Roller on my doesn't even touch the keel so it doesn't really float when unloading. Thanks.

Can't speak to Arkansas, but here in Oklahoma I was able to register mine after I filled out a simple form and showed my bill of sale. I would find the hull number and call your local tag agency. They will be able to get you set up.

Headed to pauls valley city lake in the morning. Any okies fished it lately? Possibly considering driving a little further to mountain lake also.

I'm guessing you are hand launching those?

Those of you that trailer your little boats, what sort of tie down system are you using? I currently use one long strap thrown across the back of the boat and hooked to the trailer frame. Would like to mount a retractable ratchet system(like the boat buckle, but cheaper) to the back on either side but I have nothing to hook to on my boat(basshound 10.2). There are some cleats but I'm not too confident in how secure those are. Any suggestions?

Think I'm gonna have to move my trolling motor to the back. Loading this boat on the trailer is a downright pain in the arse when solo. Better yet, maybe a small outboard.

There is atleast one picture in this thread of someone who is using an umbrella. You might search the thread.....

I have a basshound10.2 and I have the fish finder mounted up at the bow. Have the transducer mounted to the trolling motor. I bought it used and the original owner had the transducer mounted on the rear of the boat and the fish finder in the middle of the seats. I use my TM at the bow so I never really could see the FF with it being mounted there. I second the tailgate down suggestion. As far as launches go, I found it easiest to have a rope on the front of the boat, push it off the trailer and beach it or dock it while you pull your trailer out. Loading is the reverse when I'm alone. If I have a buddy, I throw him the rope and have him pull me up. I don't go to many busy boat ramps so this application wouldn't work everywhere. having an outboard on the back would make loading/unloading much easier, it's on my list of to-do's.

Off work on Monday 2/20, anyone want to go fishing in the norman area?

Sent you a PM buddy!

those of you with trailers, take a look at these pics. Notice my boat is not even touching the keel rollers. Would you change anything with this setup? Sorry, not sure why my pics uploaded sideways

Well it sold before I even had a chance to look at it... probably a good thing.

That's a good looking boat. I have a Basshound 10.2 but I have been able to use some of the ideas from this thread on my boat even though its not a 10e. I bet you can do the same.

Searching for outboards to use on my basshound 10.2. I have someone offering me a briggs & Stratton 5hp 4stroke for a decent price. Anyone have any experience with this motor? Reviews I'm reading say its pretty loud since its aircooled. Here's a pic of it:

Welcome to Oklahoma guys. Lots of good fishing around here. I think one of you may have PM'd me but not sure. already been some good suggestions on here as far as lakes go. You might google "close to home fishing in Oklahoma". there are a few dept of wildlife run ponds in norman that have some fish.

check out the pelican bass raider thread on here...over 100 pages. I bet you find your answer in there. It might just be the type or style of seat.

There is a 100page thread on here discussing the Pelican bass raider and other styles of boats similar to this one you are looking at. I would recommend reading all the posts and post this question in there.

Can you attach a picture of you seat setup? Is this what you got? http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/attwood-lockn-pin-34-fixed-height-nonthreaded-pin-post#repChildCatid=10758

That is a much cheaper idea, thanks!

What are you all using for a measuring tape? I found a stick on one on amazon I like. Do you all have any recommendations? Seat risers: What exactly do I need to raise my seat up? Currently just have the plastic seat on a bracket which fits in the hole. As seen below. Would like to raise them up a foot or so .

This was the most uninformative post I've ever read

There are the "close to home" fishing spots in norman but they are heavily pressured and I've never caught anything there. I cant remember the names right now. they are all on robinson street area east of Porter. google it. but again, they are heavily pressured. Google Maps is your friend. personally, I get anxious just pond hopping, paranoid someone will run me off even if there are no signs posted. I know of one pond in norman that I've had good luck with and if you PM me, I"ll tell ya. I love that university idea and the real estate idea! gonna have to look into that! where are your ponds in Blanchard??
