Your analogies are always awesome. Good thing I don't drink coffee otherwise I'd be going home to change clothes and head to get a new phone. Well done! ?

They're going to unveil their glass boats at the Bassmaster Classic. The "fiberglass infused aluminium boat" was just a marketing ploy. Hey it worked, it got people talking. I believe I read all their tin bass boats are pad hulls.

Both groups are stacked! This is going to be very interesting! http://www.majorleaguefishing.com/article/breaking-news-first-mlf-bass-pro-tour-competition-groups-announced/21450

Im like you but I'm a Yankee. Especially when I'm throwing a frog I'll give it a big arc and let it hit and make a bang, to let them know it's there and come check it out.

No school yesterday due to snow, and some of his ice fishing 'stuff' showed up, so he decided to break in the new equipment and new lake before I got him from work.

Your sweatshirt is fitting for the occasion!

Ccorrect. Navionics website or app. Actually a new feature on this site here is there's a link to the Navionics maps.

Are you looking for the "I'm going to rub it in that I can launch a boat" thread? This isn't it. ? We're sitting on about 5 inches of ice on our lake so no boat launching any time soon.

I wonder why fan is blocked on fantasy? I'll probably joing, when's the first event?

Freezing rain yesterday afternoon for the drive home, then we got 3" inches of heavy wet snow over night, now it's 36 and raining, and tonight it's going to be 25. What a mess!

I love my Abu Black Max and Pro Max reels. I've spent over $100 on one rod the rest are $50 or less. I don't know what high end is like so I know, no different. I catch fish and I have a blast doing it that's all that matters. Plus kids are expensive! ?

Holy cow good find! How'd you get lucky and find that?

I was in your shoes two years ago. I at the time had planned to upgrade boats and with it get good quality electronics. I started researching what each feature was, example I read all about down imaging (each company calls it something different) and watched videos. I did the same with Side Imaging, 2d sonar, and CHIRP, I read about the mapping each company provides, and about the ability to make your own maps. These are all things you'll have to learn in order to use these units to their best capabilities something I've yet to completely do. So the best thing for you to do is read, watch videos, ask questions, and learn. The more information you have about each feature the better your decision will be. We can all give you our opinions but the more you know before buying the better off you'll be, and the more comfortable you'll be about your purchase. At the end of the day it's a decent chunk of change we're talking about.

Wrong thread @scaleface LOL I wasn't going to play this year because of the mass exodus but I'm thinking I might. I'm so far out of the loop though. I don't subscribe to Bassmaster anymore and I haven't been to their site since everyone left.

I have a couple that went bad. I read they're good for around the 100k mark. I did a little searching for replacements and they aren't cheap, about $70 a pop. My truck barely gets driven now so I'll check the tires the old fashion way, that way seemed to work for 100 plus years.

One of your tires needs air. ?

MI'd 30's and rain for us tonight and tomorrow, so we could be looking at a 50 degree swing in 48 hours.

The Linder's have been in the business 30-40 years? They have articles and DVD's with this info you're looking for. I'm willing to bet everyone that has been mentioned has this info you're looking for. It may not be all in one video or article, but they've done it. You may have to take notes and compile this info to get exactly what you need but it's there. My curiosity is getting the best of me, does it have to be from only one angler, or can it be this is what Ike uses during pre-spawn, this is what Hackney uses during the spawn, and so on? If from only one why only one?

That was very fun. A couple times I called myself an idiot for missing a simple question, so yup I got into it. Is there enough bass fishing trivia to do this monthly, bi-weekly, or even weekly? Something fun to pass the winter months. Thanks!

Pretty darn cold right now. The wind chill is -22 right now. The area schools closed because it's so cold the busses can't stay warm enough inside and it's way too dangerous for the kids to stand outside and wait for the bus.

$200-300 approx

I'd go with the Garmin Striker Plus 7SV. You can get one for $400-500. This unit does not have mapping but you can create your own maps.

In that price range look at Garmin Striker. You get it all, but you have to map your only lakes which isn't hard to do for the budget minded angler like myself.

What's the temps going to be? I just updated our forecast and at 8 am it's going to be -1!

What a crazy few days! Finally got moved in at the lake house and we're pooped! Thankfully we moved Friday because we woke up to about 5 inches of the white stuff and the temps didn't get above 15 and it's currently 10.
