Benchmark I just noticed your bow roller. It may need to be positioned a bit higher if I'm seeing what I think I'm seeing. In the position it in, it could move back on the trailer while towing. Strap and hook should be a straight line pull.

Very nice!

They had me at "HYPER ARMED HOUSING".

I suggest 24 volt 80 lb thrust. Aluminum deck framed correctly will hold more than the boat will float. I've had 3 big big fellas(1000 lbs) bowfish from my front deck.

A 3 finger bream on a cane pole with cricket. It was 1978 and I was 3. I became a fisherman that day.

Berkley Fireline Ultra 8 Crystal 8lb to 7' of Seaguar Red Label 6lb for my Ned fishing.

Yes it's a Spot. I focus more on them in the winter as they don't seem to mind the cold and will hit a spoon if you get close to them.

I feel for really bad for you folks that have to stop fishing. Here's one from 40' on a spoon from yesterday.

Picked up a Curado DC a couple weeks ago and it'll really send a jerkbait out there.

My new 9.9 4 stroke came with a 3 gallon tank and I've been told to ve surprised how long it'll run on it. You may also want to consider the 6 for weight in the rear to keep the boat level while fishing from the front deck.

I catch alot more on the slow sink Rapalas versus the suspending.

WRB and A-Jay

I haven't caught any on Huddleston's and I have a collection of them. It's sad really.

Thanks Glenn. Spoons, bladebaits, jigs, jerkbaits, and spoons are my winter baits.

1000 with 8 lb braid to 6 lb fluorocarbon

Welcome. You have landed at the best bass fishing forum that exist. Great people and infinite knowledge here.

I try to work smarter not harder. She can rest while I'm fishing. I don't allow her to run the trimmer & chainsaws when I'm at the lake. If she lost a finger or something she'd want me to do her chores.

I taught my wife how to run our Stihl HL 91 K Hedge trimmer and if the vine is 1 & 1/4 inches it'll make short work of it. So when she's trimming I'll pull my boat out of the garage, so I can respool and organize tackle while keeping an eye on her. All indoor work is for days it's raining so hard I can't see the truck in the driveway. Maybe she just needs to be sat down and explained to just where fishing is on your list of priorities. Before having the talk, you may want to invite some folks over, so she won't get out of hand. It helps that I'm twice this size of my boss I mean wife. She is twice as mean but I'm faster. Never Skip Fishing. Yeah I'm the guy that may show up at a funeral with my boat(not immediate family of course).?

Curado DC 150 HG & a Shimano Zodias 7' Med Heavy that'll be here Tuesday by 9 pm. I'm fishing Tuesday and it's highly likely again Wednesday.

I use Dawn & a toothbrush to clean the plastic parts of my reels. Rinse the parts thoroughly with the spayer. All metal parts gets dropped in the Ultrasonic cleaner in a bath of acetone. Mag brakes I clean with a Q- tip or TP.

Frabill F1 is my warm weather rain suit. Hunting coveralls & boots if cold and no rain. 100 mph suit in cold & rain. Below 32 air with rain I'll wait until the rain passes or temp rises.

It's a good start.

Amazing! Thanks for taking the time to show us.

So happy you decided to go fishing. Excellent news.

If this was an attempt at dock skipping, they're doing it wrong.
