Wouldn’t I need access to the inside also for rivets? The wood screw would work my concern with them is how strong they are in the plastic for holding an anchor. I know it won’t really have that much force pulling on it though. My kayak has no access to the inside like that one does.

I have a cheap sit on top kayak. It’s a sun dolphin journey 10 ss. I would like to put a couple anchor cleats and an additional rod holder on it but they are made to be bolted from the bottom side however with a sit on top you don’t have access to the bottom side. Anyone have an idea or experience adding accessories to a sit on kayak?

Do you use a trailer on the buzzbait?

You guys prefer plain buzz bait or add a trailer?

Statewide season starts may 5th but the northern part of the state it is catch and release only till mid June

Picked one up today. Can’t wait to give it a try. To bad I gotta wait till may here.

See a lot of people like buzzbaits. I’ve never caught a fish on one. Might have to give them another try

That had to be a great feeling! Welcome back to the sport.

I seen it has the chamber and tail weight like the popmax has. Guessing It spits more than the popmax if it has a pop r style mouth?

Never used one of those. Looking at LC website it looks like a similar lure to the megabass popmax. Might have to try one. I like LC crankbaits

Rapala x-rap is one of my favorite lures.

Just for fun what is everyone’s favorite topwater lure/lures? my personal favorites 1. Heddon pop’n’image 2. Sexy dawg jr 3.megabass popmax Not proven to me yet but looking forward to testing this one out more this summer.

In Wisconsin you can go almost anywhere and catch decent pike but if you have the option go to the Chippewa Flowage. Lot of big pike there.

I was thinking about either painting or just cleaning the bottom white and painting the top black.

It is in pretty good shape mostly I don't like the greenish blue color on top. Trailer definitely will be all fixed up. Been sitting for a long time

Thank you for the tinypic suggestion! I'll check that site out It is fiberglass

I have a 14 ft boat that hasn't been on the water in over 8 years. It's an old boat but it means a lot to me because me and my uncle bought it at a farm auction when I was 8 years old for $50. He passed away a few years ago and my aunt has now given me the boat. I got the engine running and everything seems to work but I would like to give it a paint job and make it look nice again. I've asked a few people and the general response was don't fix up an old boat because it cost a fortune. I want your opinions on how much I could fix this boat up for. Doesn't have to be anything fancy just looks decent. It's 14 ft. (Trying to figure out how to put pictures on here but it's saying I can't upload that much)

You can make squirrel pretty much any way you make chicken. Same with rabbit

I also say 3 lber. Ps. I also save with home and auto bundled with country financial

Never seen it before. Guessing not a big brand name

Fished almost my hole life with 20-30 dollar combos. Just recently in the last 2 years I upgraded to a 50 dollar rod then a couple 100 dollar rods. Are they better? Idk to be honest. I want to say yes because I like them but not sure I catch any more fish with them than I did with my cheap rods. People attacking you over your opinion is insane. And a lot of people can't afford $100+ rods

First off Thanks for the responses! Ok so generally the reason you guys get rods custom made is to A. Get your desired parts in one rod not all one brands that may have some cheaper parts like lower quality guides. And B. For higher quality construction of the rod. I think you guys misunderstood one part though. I am hoping to build a rod myself not have a custom builder make it for me. I always like using things I built myself. One thing I never tried was a fishing rod and I used to have a friend that did it as a hobby and he said it was relaxing and enjoyed doing it and I've been curious about it since.

If you wanna go cheap. I like my old ugly sticks and Berkeley lightning rods. They're about 40 bucks each not including a reel

I use 10 lb suffix elite now and haven't had a problem

I used to have a friend that built rods and loved doing it. I have been curious about it for a while but from looking at prices at seems almost more expensive to build the rod than to just buy the same rod already made. What are the benefits and reasons you guys build rods? I wouldn't mind doing it just for the hobby but it's not cheap so I'm just wondering what your reasons are
