  1. He's not pumping the primer bulb he's pushing the key in to choke the engine
  2. I had a motor use to act like that. Air was getting in the fuel system. Idle great run it wot for a short time would start loosing power

    Like cutting into a companies profits? I understand but don't agree. Better to source materials from other countries than outsource jobs. I believe they are and I always try to research and buy American as much as possible

    Why not put those resources into American workers? Problem solved sure you would have to pay them an honest wage. So be it, consumers would be more willing to pay the extra $ per bait to help support a fellow Americans
  5. I have a Tacoma with the long bed 6 foot I believe it is. I put my WS ride 135 in the bed and just strap it down sure it sticks out but as long as it's secure and you have a flag your fine dont overthink it
  6. You need to use a rod you can comfortably and accurately use. I'm 5 9 and prefer a 7'3 for flipping and pitching but like a longer rod for dragging deep
  7. Walleye muskie pike catfish crappie theirs boats rigged the best ways for each species, online forums, tournaments and pros so theirs not a pike pro shops or crappie pro shops or whatever but to answer your question yes plenty of other species have all those things you listed
  8. That wood handle rapalas are great. I also use a buck fillet knife which is excellent. And the top edge of the last two inches leading up to the tip is also sharpened which helps immensely. The rapala is like $20 and the buck was $50-60 Also my electric rapala kicks ass. Can clean a limit of slabs in no time. Like one beer fast
  9. Ratchet straps through the handles of the yak or rope with a slip knot. Holds tight till you pull the tag end to release the knot
  10. Profile rate of fall color action of trailer all influence a fishes reaction. You clearly had the right combination for that specific spot but to really learn why pieces of the puzzle need to be eliminated untill you quit getting bit. My guess would be profile and rate of fall were the deciding factors along with the quick movement of reeling instead of just letting the bait hit bottom

    Heres a whole list http://fishpittsburgh.com/local-clubs/
  12. Literally any other rod available
  13. Fast action is going to be alot more versatile. X fast is going to load so fast you can over power alot of fish and rip the hooks out of them.
  14. So it will only cost some one $43,000 to advertise for a company that makes junk rods ? No thanks, doesn't surprise me though with favorite being attached to the booger squad
  15. What size bait are you using. I've had failed hook ups before only to downsize one size in hooks and start hooking every fish
  16. Both my units are also helix 7 the bow is di the console is si only my transducer on the trolling motor will bug out at extremely shallow depths like almost touching the bottom. If yours is doing it at 4 foot something's wrong . My console graph with the ducer mounted on the transom never does this Also if you want to sell that 5 di I could use it for my yak
  17. My Helix will start going crazy at anything around 1 foot or less sometimes. Usually less than a foot though. All graphs are going to loose accurate bottom readings at extremely shallow depths. What graph do you have
  18. Ohio can humble you how long are you going to be in the state. Pm me if your going to be here a while with the areas or lakes your fishing
  19. My Helix 7 SI reads perfect at a stand still. Mess with your settings you should be able to get it to read
  20. Head south of Dover and fish the tusc. Loaded with fish
  21. Replaced about a gazillion rivets on a jon boat with stainless buttonhead bolts. Put a dab of sealant beneath the head then use a lock nut and nylon washer on the inside. No more leaks and stronger than ever
  22. My buddy fishes Abu Garcia fantatista rods I think they're called. Way more sensitive than a Loomis
  23. I agree with you 100% and if you ever watch any of the episodes where martens is killing it he is the cockiest of them all. Even more so than Ike I think. They are my two least favorite pro fisherman. With Ike taking the lead over martens for my dislike by a long shot. Cannot stand that guy
  24. Just Ohio this year. Lucky I could fish at all, broke my back (5 vertebrae) and about 20 other bones in february. My biggest bass of the year came while I had to bill dance it and sit the whole time very hard to fish that way
  25. Unscrew the front deck you will be able to see where the braces are. It will be almost imprinted into the bottom of the deck. I have a 01 pt 165 I'll be putting a recesses tray in I'm going to put the tray where I want it and relocate a brace if I have to cut one out
