Backroad Angler

Non-fiction historicals are my favorite books to read. Here’s a list of some fantastic books I’ve read. Labyrinth of Ice by Buddy Levy Confederates in the attic by Tony Horwitz Blue Latitudes by Tony Horwitz Killer angels by Michael Shasta His time in hell by Warren Jackson Ghost soldiers by Hampton Sides

Banks Shaw and Jacob wheeler were coming real close, thought they were gonna make it happen.

Seemed like a awesome time!

Welcome!!

I enjoy using both. To be honest, I don't pay much attention if its full or split, I care about how the rod performs when working my lure or catching a fish.

Sweet!

Good tips, I’ll just make sure to air it out. Since I’ve noticed the smell, I’ve been keeping an eye on it more. Not noticing anything crazy and still not seeing any signs of leaks or issues.

I took the boat out this week and put it in the garage. After 2-3 days of it sitting in there is when I noticed the gas smell and I hadn’t opened the garage or anything. I’m assuming I probably should have aired it out after just running it for a good amount of time. I believe this is why I had that gas smell

I would say that’s a decent price for the boat. Mabye try and get them to 5k flat.

It’s more noticeable when I open the lid that exposes the fuel tank. Inspected around inside, everything seems tight and I haven’t seen anything obvious. Just want to make sure there isn’t an actual issue going on. Thanks

I’ve noticed a slight smell of gas coming from the fuel tank. I observed no obvious leaks, thought this was normal to have a slight smell or should I be concerned?

Very cool

Only when I’m doing yard work or messing with the boat. I’ll get in a habit of opening it more to air out.

Nice boat, I like it! Yep I’m in Texas and that’s kinda what I was thinking, my concerns are more for the summer months and it can get crazy hot.

Hey y’all, Not sure if I am overthinking this one, but I have questions regarding storing my bass tracker in my garage. Since I’ve bought the boat, I’ve been storing it in one car garage at my house. It’s a tight fit, but I make it work. Now this is a broad question I have, but is there anything special I should be doing? I don’t have any ventilation vents on the garage door or any windows, not sure if this is a concern. i haven’t noticed any issues so far as crazy smells or any build up of mildew or mold or anything like that. Just not sure if that’s gonna be an issue and if I need to do any preventive measures now. thank yall

The past few reels I’ve purchased after been older ones. Will probably buy new for the next just to see what’s out there

Hey y’all, Took my boat out for the second time today on a local lake near me. Still getting use to trailering, launching, loading the boat and so forth, but so far it’s coming along decently. I did not grow up around boats and have hardly been around them till now. Experiencing being out on the water on a boat is definitely something I wish I had got into sooner. It’s a blast being able to go anywhere and not only fish, but just to chillax out on the water. Caught my first boat fish today using a 4 inch T Rigged lunkerlog, nothing huge but was an awesome moment. To anyone that’s been on the fence of getting a boat, I would recommend it.

Welcome man!

Happy new years

Happy new years all

Tom's advice and tips were of a great help to me and everyone of this forum. Prayers out to him and his family. Very sad news.

Very late, but hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and have a safe new years!

E SERIES greatest reels, have a chronach and curado e, great reels that still do some work.

Using both spinning outfits and casting outfits allow for you to be a more versatile fisherman. To me, each one has their pros and cons. With that said, what it boils down to is what you enjoy and lets you have the most fun on the water. My recommendation would to keep practicing with casting set ups and you’ll eventually get the hang of it.

Welcome!!
