My tatulas have been my favorite reel purchase. If you between reels go to tackle warehouse and do the rental program. You can try any reel they have available.

This actually happened to me at my wedding. I was reading my vows and I look up and two guys are cat fishing on the dock!

Looking at a PT 20 crestliner anyone own one Pros/cons? They are asking 33k its a 2018 with a 200 merc.

Trying right now. Only ones I can get to work are 20lure 15rapala and fish10.

Are your units G2N Mega imaging units? If they are not mega imaging units you will not be able to use a MEGA transducer with them.

On the lowest setting you'll barely even feel the boat moving. I have a 19ft ranger fiberglass and my ultrex 80 thrust on setting one wont even move the boat.

where did you get the picture?

I have a 97 ranger still runs 55 miles an hour and is solid. Run a compression test on the motor. If you do buy it do the basics. new plugs clean carbs new gas and oil lube bearings on trailer check for cracks in hull and soft spots on the floor

I love this topic! Awesome job. So many old boats for sale for under 1000 dollars that have so much potential. I just finished a 97 ranger. Carpet powerhead paint etc. It takes up a lot of time but totally worth it at the end. Enjoy

I have never made the switch from bass boat to kayak, thought about it. But, in my opinion I don't think I could go without my boat. I have a kayak and my ranger. The wife likes to go out on the kayaks every once and a while. I enjoy having the two. If you have the garage space I would keep the boat.

If bite is hard a start "plinking", a drop shot around. Works well in the clear lakes I fish here in Connecticut.

Congratulations! I started taking bass fishing serious a couple years ago. I caught a 4lber on top water, my heart was going a mile a minute. I bragged to my fishing buddy for a half a day in till the next morning he caught a 5 plus. I haven't heard the end of it. Tight lines. Ryan

Had an elderly gentlemen come over to me and asked about my newer rods and reels. He then showed me his old (very well taken care of) pistol grip rods he has had for a long time. We had a great conversation about the lake and fishing. Haven't seen him since but it would be awesome to go out fishing with him. I do agree with the gentlemen that mentioned having no so pleasant of an experience with trout fishermen, obviously not all are bad. I joined a small trout club a couple years ago when I was at my first duty station, after signing up the older members told me I would have to peel potatoes with the teenage kids during the yearly dinner while they smoked cigars and drank brandy... no thanks.

I try to stick with conditions and season. I always have a drop shot, wacky rig and Texas rig on the deck. The conditions and structure of the day will drive the rest of the baits I will try. I enjoy using every tool in the tool box, my wallet doesn't though!
