I know what you’re saying. I buy better quality lures now. When I started using the zip ties, I was still in school and working a few evenings a week after football practice. I had to buy the ole Walmart $1 specials, money was tight paying for vehicle insurance. Haha. I guess I did it for so long that it’s just habit now. All the jigs I have now have good skirts on them but I still put the zip ties on. Lol

This has probably been mentioned in here before but who else uses tiny zip-ties to secure the skirts on their jigs and spinnerbaits? I started doing it years ago on cheaper brands because I got tired of the skirts sliding back on every hookset. Now I keep a pack of zip ties in my boxes that have jigs or spinnerbaits and as soon as I open a new one I put one on it. It’s just a precaution and keeps me from cussing like a sailor.

The screenshots I posted are from the new Johnsonville area. I’ve had some stellar days flipping bushes all around those islands. But once the bush bite starts slowing down, I’m lost as where/how to catch them until they get all the way out to the ledges at the main river channel. For example, I can hammer them for a few days, then it’s just over the next. So I head to the main channel ledges and it’s terribly slow for several days. I’m just trying to figure out what to look for between the islands and main ledges. I’ll post another screenshot but it’s mainly just a giant flat across there.

No sir. I don’t own a kayak. Just a big tin boat. I want a kayak tho. I think itd be pretty fun.

That’s about the best pic I can get. If I zoom out any further on my phone, the contour lines go away.

Same spot is in top left now. It’s on Kentucky lake. And yes. Immediately after spawn.

Just signed up. Looking forward to trying this for the first time.

Ok guys. I’m fairly new to looking at contour maps. On the attached picture, what areas would you target for largemouth bass and why? Let’s say post spawn time of year. I think I see maybe a couple spots that could produce but I’m not sure.

Want to improve my deep water fishing. I’ve fished shallow all my life and am pretty confident with it. Have only had a boat for a couple years and just last summer finally got an Elite ti. Now I wanna learn to find bass in the ledges and then catch them. Would also like to try several new places. Im guilty of going to the same few places every time because I know I can usually catch them there.

Palaniuk or A-mart

Your diagram is right. And the 50 amp breaker should be fine. I ran a setup like that for 2 years on my bowfishing rig. As far as the battery switch goes, I have no clue. And I've never ran a power cord either. Just wired from troller straight to the battery.

All good replies. I understand where y'all are coming from. There is no alternate route to get to this spot or I would take it. Also I didn't mean to make it sounds like I run across it full speed. Just jump on plane and leave it it there. Maybe 10 mph. It just keeps my minds at ease knowing I'm not sucking trash through the pump while dragging bottom.

What do you mean when you say you put the transducer vertically on a floating device?

It's no different than a bass boat running 70 down the main river. They could easily hit a floater.
