  5. Point made !!! skillet
  6. I bought a new trolling motor for an older ('84) aluminum bass boat. Like Wayne the mount hole pattern was considerably shorter than the bracket itself. It would actually fit the old platform. I refitted all the wood and carpet in the boat. I extended the platform on that side 2'' passed the end of the new bracket... skillet
  7. When I started using EWG hooks, it helped me. With a little time you should be able to tell the difference in the types of bites. Better to set the hook on bream than miss a bass ... skillet

  12. Most of the small lakes and ponds that I fish from the bank are really overgrown with all types of underbrush and trees. I usually carry 2 rigs because of that (more is too much of a headache). T-rigged (your favorite plastic) or jig and trailer on a baitcaster and spinning with maybe Super Fluke. I'll try that for a while and if they're not interested make small changes in baits. If still no interest :Pmajor changes in set-ups ... skillet
  13. Diawa made boron rods (Procaster model). I got one in '84. It was a 6' MH with an Ambassadeur Ultramag 1 baitcaster. IMHO it was a GREAT setup. The rod was unbelievably sensitive and light. Got to where I could turn the brakes off and it would cast a lure a country mile. I really had no problems with the rod. It got thrown in the back of a pick-up many times. Later I learned they quit making them because they didn't take abuse well. It sure took all that I gave it... skillet
  14. When I first started using jigs, I used them. They worked GREAT! Started using plastics, like Raul said, WAY TOO MUCH TROUBLE for me . Still got 2 or 3 bottles (metal caps) somewhere in the attic of my shop. There's no way you could open them. Hopefully they don't corrode the tops :'(... skillet
  15. This was something I always wondered about. I worked on several rivers (6yrs) in the early and middle 80s. You worked in 6hr watches round the clock, no matter the weather. There you were in the middle of huge thunder storms (lightning so close you could smell it in the air), soaked to the skin, working on metal barges, on the water and usually with a 3ft metal pipe on your shoulder you used as a "cheater" bar for these big ratchets . One of the favorite topics was sitting around and retelling stories about how people got hurt while working :-?. You wouldn't believe some of the stories! River folk are looser with the truth,even more so than fishermen . Even knowing that, I don't ever remember any stories about anyone getting hit by lightning... skillet
  16. There are some members that have that down better than others. When you find out the answers to these questions, please, let the rest of us know ... skillet
