  1. I would need to delete social media for this to occur, see something cool and want to try it. I agree with your logic, but somehow after a night of a few drinks I have an email from tackle warehouse about my new shipment.
  2. Hey y’all, there is a lot of conflicting info and I’m having trouble deciding on the best way to do this. My original plan was to mount between my feet at the cup holder and run the transducer into the hell with duct puddy. I understand I would lose water temp and I was ok with that all things considered. A bunch of people seem to think that’s a bad idea so now I’m looking at a yak attack cell block and a Scotty transducer arm mount. With this I would Need the cell block, 12v battery and The Scotty arm mount, correct? If if anyone else has any insight or a good source I can read I would really appreciate it.
  3. You saved me some money, thank you
  4. d**n, merry Christmas to you.
  5. I’ve been researching for a new spring reel, I was thinking about the Custom Speed spool MSB, but found the BB1 Pro on sale for 135, that seems too good to pass up, does anyone have a reason why that isn’t a smart move? Reviews on here seem to be positive.
  6. Maybe this is a dumb question, but I’d like to better understand how this works. If you use a red line is it technically less visible a few feet down than a yellow because red is one of the first colors lost with depth?
  7. What hospitals will y’all be working at? Might help with the area. I moved to North Carolina 2 years ago but lived in Jax beach for a long time and covered all of the hospitals. St. John’s county, around Ponte Vedra is a great area with great schools depending on what kind of prices you can find.
  8. Got ya, I picked two of them up, haven’t found the time to test them out but the concept got me interested.
  9. Maybe a dumb question, but is this similar to what the SK slither rig is?
  10. Thank you. Ended up getting a solid littlE drop shop Plano box put together for him.
  11. What’s up bassasains, southeastern angler checking in. My girlfriends parents live on Seneca lake, one of the finger lakes. I’m working on Christmas presents for her dad. Their dock is in about 10-15’, they have a ton of lake grass all around their dock and then as you head out there are several shelves and it gets deep quick. We just don’t have that kind of depth here so I’m not sure what works. I was thinking about making him a drop shot type set up that he can throw from his dock. He has rods and some basic tackle but I’m not sure about rod/line size, I’m expecting a picture of his rods today. I’m not sure what would be best. What do y’all think?
  12. This would last though a few trips then they would all end up back in a bag or laying in the back of my truck or in my kayak. I applaud those that are able to maintain this.
  13. Water temperature is around 60 right now I believe. There is a small creek that feeds into the small flat area I started in. I did notice a couple of times that the current actually came back into that pocket pretty quickly, I assume this is when they were releasing water from the dam. It seems unanimous, I believe I’ll try to work the opening of the channel into the main river, I saw several trees etc and I would assume there is a drop off. This is google maps image doesn’t really do it justice but it’s an idea of the layout, theieelt islands inside the creek are actually all of the cattails. I also want to paddle around and check out deeper up the creek. Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it!
  14. I’m still pretty new to big waters, I just got a kayak at the end of the summer and have had trouble locating fish consistently. I grew up on smith mountain lake and locating on a bass boat is one thing, kayak is proving to be a whole other story. Planning to get a fish finder, but don’t have it yet. I live in Charlotte and am starting to fish the Catawba River chain a lot more. I found a spot today that’s just off the river between the lakes. The temperature outside was around 60, I’m guessing water temperature isn’t far from that. The access I found was super clear water, I could see the bottom to around 4’ maybe. Depth in the main area was anywhere from a foot to maybe 6’. The area is packed with dead cat tails and grass with open channels all throughout. At one spot it opens up to the main river channel, not sure of the depth here but I could see some tree branches so I’m guessing maybe 10-15’. I had a green (bluegill imitation) swim jig and a T rigged swim senko tied on. I could see some really small baby bass etc swimming around but never saw anything of size. Today was mainly exploring but I got skunked. Is it worth my time to pick around the dead cat tails or should I just focus on the ledge where the river opens up? I’m thinking later this week I’ll throw a crank bait and likely will stick with a jig as well. Summary: Found an area off of the Catawba River, lots of dead grass and cat tails, super clear water. I know it will Be money in the spring, but am I wasting my time now?
