12poundbass

Welcome to Bassresource!

I’d say you win, unless someone has encountered some other exotic animal. Mine’s pretty boring, an otter. It’s the only live one I’ve seen in Michigan.

You could buy a cradle and transducer for your Garmin, put that up front, and when you’re done scouting grab the screen and put it up front. It might be a bit of a PITA but most of your time would be on the trolling motor so I’d want the bigger screen up front, but I’d also want side scan at the helm. Not sure if you could swing it money wise but it’s doable. Option number 2, save your pennies, there are always good deals on Black Friday.

A lot of it would be dependent on the size of lakes you fish and the type of weather as well. For me, my biggest lake around me is around 400-500 acres, so I don’t see rough waters there for a glass boat isn’t needed for me. If I traveled up to Lake Menderchuck or over to Lake St Clair I’d need to keep and eye on the conditions. Tin boats work for me, may not work for you. The Lund Renegade looks like an awesome boat and as expected from Lund, has a ton of storage and it very well thought out. Since they moved the rod locker to the center, it’s on my short list of next boats!

@king fisher keep the Baitmonkey out of the margaritas. You’ve been warned. ?

That’s pretty impressive!

Welcome to Bassresource!

Good luck!

We went on a Salmon charter as part of a bachelor party. There were two boats, the boat I wasn’t on was slamming them. The captain radios to ours telling him to come on over! Our captain an old grouchy, stubborn man kept saying “we’re going to stick around here for a while”. The four of us each caught one, while the other boat caught their limit and then some. ?

Tip toeing along the politics line again, things getting heated, and repeated. Good time for me to lock my first thread. ? Back to our regularly scheduled show

@Siebert Outdoors My son and I went out Monday morning and a lady came out and told us there were two big bass under her dock. I could already see the two sinks under there and didn’t bother. Those are the dock owners I encounter all the time. They are nice, helpful, or just watch.

I know it’s hard to keep politics out of topics like this, but let’s keep the politics out of this thread and this site. As you all know, it never ends well!

My view after launching the boat yesterday morning.

I could probably put down 5-6. Sunday was 6poundbass’s birthday and we had hotdogs. Yesterday morning he and I went fishing. His breakfast at 6:30am…. Hotdogs w/ ketchup and mustard and washed is down with a big glass of OJ. ?

If I posted everything dumb I’ve done Glenn’s server would crash.

I did the exact same thing three years ago. I took my son and his friend fishing. They were on the fish, having a great time, then the TM all of a sudden quit. I was checking everything with no luck. I fire up the outboard and load the boat up. They were bumming big time! The next day I’m looking things over and see the switch on the foot control, flip it, and good as new! Looking back, they were taking turns running the TM and one of them must’ve hit the switch.

Maybe I don’t fish enough docks, maybe everyone is nice, or maybe I’m just lucky but I’ve yet to come across a dock owner that was upset with me fishing their dock.

Welcome to Bassresource!

As most of you probably know by know I received a few curveballs in life in my late teens. My response…..

63, 75, and 93” shafts! Sounds like the Garmin Kraken is geared towards multi species and salt water anglers. Still sounds like a cool trolling motor.

Adding to @MN Fisher they are quieter, weigh less, use less power.

I found some yesterday along side the road I was working on. There were only a couple ready to eat…they were good!

Congrats to him!

Too many people dismiss their PTSD. Here’s hoping everyone gets the treatment they deserve for a healthier and happier life.

Best bang for your buck in my opinion is the Garmin Echomap. Easy to use, good image quality, and you can make your own maps with just a cheap micro SD card. Humminbird requires a zero line card to make your own maps which if I remember correctly, will run you and extra $100+.
