  1. I am in the process of replacing the transom on my 14' aluminum boat. I removed the old and rotten one. There was only a board on the inside. I am thinking of putting one on the outside and inside. Will only be using a trolling motor, but maybe an outboard someday. I have scrap composite decking lying around. I am going to try and use that on the inside. If I can't get it to work, ill seal wood. I am definitely going to use composite decking on the outside, unless it will cause corrosion. How does this sound?
  2. looking to redo my casting deck on a 14' V-Hull. I am thinking of riveting steel angles to the sides of my aluminum boat. then, i would run 2x4s across the width of the boat, supported by a 4x4 in the middle running up/down. Will steel react with aluminum? will this work? thanks!
  3. should i use a self etch primer?
  4. I have the wild river nomad tackle bag. had it for over a year. only issue is the broken upper, but it came with two. I cam fit 4 3600 pro latch plants in the big bottom section, and one in the top area. Apparently you can store five 3500s in the top. Is this true?
  5. I have an old sea king hull that is 14' long. the old deck is falling apart so i took everything out. the back inside of the boat has a layer of chipping paint. it may be lead paint. the front has paint in good condition. I bought cabbalas boat liner to put inside my boat. my problem is that i can't sand the boat without ruining my sand pads. the rivets catch on the pads every time i run the orbital sander over them. what should i do?
  6. females will spawn in multiple beds to prevent an infertile male from ruining the batch. Males will scare other bass away from nearby beds.
  7. Just got my light gray Tuff Coat Liner from Cabala's. I ordered 2 gallons of the liner and a quart of primer. Will be doing the bottom half of the inside of my 14' vhull - How many coats of primer? - How many coats of liner? - what grit sand paper for the paint removal? - How long between coats? - Must I work fast? - Anything else?

  11. I currently have a 7'0" XH Carrot Stix Wild Wild Black as my frog rod. It is rated for 1/2 - 2 oz lures. Is it too heavy a power for frogs and 50 lb braid?
  12. Looking to add a new reel to my arsenal. I like the Orra Winch. Looks good. What line should i use? Mostly for cranks down to 12'. Would invisx 12 lb work? I also have 10 lb mono on a zillion with the 7'1" m mod that it will go on, but the gear ratio is too fast.

  17. I bought another computer before hand, but it did not compare
  18. I would like to thank Apple for enabling me to be able to learn so much about fishing. In 2016, I purchased a MacBook Pro. I was hesitant to spend the money, but knew that it wold help me with my schoolwork greatly. I never knew how helpful it would be in the fishing world. Because of my computer, I have access to great resources like this forum, allowing me o learn so much. Besides basic help, I am mostly self taught. I ask questions here, try it out, adapt, and find what works. Without Apple, I would not be nearly as good an angler as I am today. Never expected a computer to be the one thing that helped me develop as an angler. Thanks Apple!
