How do you guys get an accurate reading on water temps? Sure, the graphs show the temp, but that's more towards the surface.

Don't sleep on Native Eyewear. Nice sunglasses that are cheaper than Costas. You can also get different interchangable lenses. American Legacy has some really good deals on them right now. Use this coupon code for for an additional 10% off. 4og2o96qtc

It's was a cold one Saturday morning. Got into the mid-30's overnight. Struggled most of the day throwing traps, plastics, cranks, spinnerbaits, keitechs. Finally put on a white chatterbait with chartreuse trailer and got my biggest bass of the year. ?

I definitely use black/blue more when it comes to plastics and jigs, but that's because I fish murky/stained water more often than clear water. If I'm fishing clear water, and especially for smallies, I'm, throwing some sort of green pumpkin variation 95% of the time.

MY EYES!!!!! MY HEART!!

I see you're from Chicago. If you're a Bears and/or Cubs fan, I would suggest not wearing their gear in your videos. Otherwise the entire state above you will tune you out. ?

This is a big part of it. I'm a grown man. But when I get a new TW shipment in the mail I'm like a kid on Christmas morning. And I have to open up each lure right away and hold it and admire it.

I carry so much tackle that it is probably close to putting me at max weight capacity for my boat. Is it necessary? No. Would I still catch as many fish without all of it? Probably. Yet here I am checking the "latest sale" thread every day. I need help.

Why are there DC haters?

Yeah, my Cabela's bargain cave is just a bunch of junk. Maybe once in a while you'll find something worth while. Also, my Cabela's is selling Bass Pro Shop shirts and bibs now.

Quick question. How durable is this thing? Do the 'wings' get bent easily?

I've never seen rattles on a chatterbait. The chatterbait gives off so much vibration I really don't think it's needed.

He's saying in both statements that he only shops TW now.

I need to move down south.

That's terrible. Sorry to hear that. That should be a minimum life sentence!

I have all different rods. As far as reels, I'm mainly Shimano and Daiwa with a few Abu's thrown in. Until one company decides to sponsor me, that is. I will admit. I am weird about pairing a Shimano reel with a Daiwa rod, and vice versa. Dumb, I know.

Off topic, but is your avatar Wheeler Walker? ?

Chiggers are $4.50 on TW.

According to their site, the smallest they make this in is 3/4oz?

Shoot, I just realized how old this thread was that I bumped. My apologies.

Has anybody tried these gloves for cold-weather fishing? https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwig9-KXhprdAhUCucAKHSkzARcYABAaGgJpbQ&sig=AOD64_0Fqom9L28w78iMGMWzIKK5mC-4JQ&ctype=5&q=&ved=0ahUKEwjMutmXhprdAhUDZKwKHRSLCIIQ9A4IwAE&adurl=

Yeah, the creaking/clunking I'm hearing near the coupler area doesn't just happen when braking. It happens while driving as well, hitting any little bumps or even dips in the road. It's a brand new trailer too, so I would hope nothing would be worn out yet. It's just odd that the service dept. where I bought the boat can't figure it out.

Yup.

It's 2". And everything is tight tight. This is mind-boggling. Honestly I'm not sure. I'm pretty naive since this is my first 'real' boat/trailer I've owned myself. I didn't get any kind of manual for the trailer when I took delivery. I feel I should have, but who knows?

Took it to the dealer today. We tightened the swing tongue so there's no play. Still had the noise. We pinpointed that it sounds like it's coming from the coupler/ball area. We adjusted the nut to make it tighter and looser, still no dice. I even tried a new ball mount with ball, no dice. Any chance the coupler itself could have some sort of defect that's causing this loud creaking?
