Welcome guys! Lake Travis and Lake LBJ over near Austin are Great Lakes. If yall find yourselfs headed towards San Antonio, send me a PM and I’ll let yall know of some good places.

Hey y’all, Anyone have any experience with the new lews accel RX?

About 30 minutes round trip when I take the boat out. 20-40 minutes when I fish on the bank or wading.

I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a fishing funk. The reason for this is that over the last few years, life has been so busy. My job is very demanding, I put in a ton of hours. Family, chores, maintaining my house, etc. injuries from work also kept me from fishing for a little while. Even some days when I do have time, I just want to sit on my couch and try and recoup. In the future, when time frees up and I can fish more, then I’ll think I may have a fishing funk as I’ll probably try and overdo it to make up for lost time.

No reason to not have it on board except being lazy trying to squeeze it in the right place

Hey y’all, Looking to replace my mounted three bank charger on my boat. The charger is used to charge up two 12.8 volt lithium batteries for my trolling motor. Have the third one Incase I need it for my cranking battery which is lead. My question to yall, does anyone run a three bank charger that’s not permanent or mounted? Or is that the preferred way? Thanks

Honestly probably frogs for me, I have a ton but never throw them.

😂love that

I’m in the no music camp. I’ll rather listen to nature and hearing fish that jump to the surface. I’m a huge music lover, but usually reserve it for other activities.

Welcome from Texas!

I'm interested in those tree stakes, may have to swing by Lowes tomorrow.

For duty issued weapons,(pistol wise) I’ve always carried a Glock 9mm in the following models: 45, 19 and 17. USP looks pretty sweet though!

For clarification, I meant basically using spot lock or an anchor vs letting my boat drift or be mobile.

Hey y’all, So I got to thinking today (I think too much) while I was out on the water, I've always thrown my soft baits specifically artificial worms, weightless or with a weight T rigged while my boat or kayak was stationary. Does anyone let their boat drift or have their trolling motor on a slow speed and throw the same lures not stationary? I’ve always thought throwing these specific lures are better thrown stationary.

I would charge him 75-100 to mow the lawn.

Found some time to hit the lake for a few hours. Couldn’t get anything to bite in cover, but they were definitely hitting open water today. Only caught this guy, but it was a great day on the water.

What a biggin!

Definitely treat some of my gear a bit rough, but I try not to abuse them.

I started out in a kayak and fished from it for a few years. Last year I upgraded into a bass tracker. I would recommend getting a Jon boat as opposed to a kayak. Jon boats are more customizable, more comfortable on the water, able to move around, and allow for more storage. Plus you can also bring a partner or two on the Jon boat. I have nothing bad to say about kayak fishing, but I wouldn't go back to it. The only reason I would go back is if I no longer had a truck or the storage for a boat. When I was shopping around for a boat, I checked out Jon boats first in my area and they were similar in price to a tracker so I ended up with a tracker.

Welcome to the forum! Swimbaits are fun, but don’t limit yourself to one lure, many other great presentations out there as you’ll learn on this forum.

Great info! I’ve been meaning for the past 2 months to get out on the water and give the free rig a chance. Now I’m even more determined and excited to go try it out.

Welcome!

Be safe out there, prayers out to yall!

Thank you for sharing this
