Jig Man

That is one bait that doesn’t work much for me. I have a double tail grub mold and several hundred Yamamoto skirts but even when I am catching on a Ned and substitute them it’s a no go. I hope that swimming them will work once I get Mega Live installed.

One of the hardest things I have ever done was trying to catch the other guy’s fish. Even in the same boat it can be nearly impossible.

I don’t know much about it but I took my favorite shaky rod to a builder and told him that I wanted one similar. He asked all kinds of questions along with what reel I would be using and its weight. He said he needed that to make the balance correct. The completed rod is now my very favorite shaky rod.

Didn’t Dick Tracy have one?

A-Jay’s #5 is a whole different can of worms. When I was in the boat business and had first time boat owners a part of my delivery was to take them out back to our private pond where we tested repairs. I showed them how to launch and load their boat as well as discussed ramp and parking lot etiquette. Then I would have them practice until they were comfortable.

Having a good console gps with the map screen up can show you depth contours and the channel is imperative if you are in an unfamiliar area. Buying a good map and studying it before you go to the lake can also help you prepare for how and where you are going to run your boat. Experience and knowledge cant be beat though.

Something isn’t right. Have you checked the P2P. I had that same motor on a Champion 206. It ran 65 mph at 5400 rpms.

Sorry for you unless you are an antivaxer if you are then good luck with the new varient.

A tear shaped bobber is best because it will stand up and let you know a fish is there before it takes the bobber down. I’ve had no kuck with any jigs other than craft hair.

Geewhiz guys what is all of this talk about age and computers. I doubt any of you are close to my age. I was stuck in a no end job when Apple came out with the IIE. I spent a few months pay check and bought one along with a dot matrix printer. I taught myself how to program in basic because there really wasn’t any thing else. I spent countless hours learning data base and spreadsheets. It got to the point where local companies were contacting me for assistance. I turned my knowledge into my dream job. Since then I have retired from two other professions. All I do now is fish in a Nitro Z20 with a 250 four stroke Mercury equipped with 3 Humminbird Etherneted Solix units, and a Minn Kota Ipilot linked blue tooth Ulterra trolling motor, along with an asgps heading sensor and next week I will have a Mega live transducer installed. So don’t talk old and out of touch as it is a personal preference.

Mine is three days of the wind being from the same direction. That sets up the food chain. It moves the algae which is followed by the zooplankton then the shad and lastly the game fish to feed on the shad.

That will work just fine. I have done that when using a bunch in the same size and wanting them handy.

I haven’t counted them but I am guessing that I have several hundred in the boat.

This works for me. I get the bags at Hobby Lobby and staple them to poster board strips. I keep those in tackle binders by weight categories.

I always keep mine in the bag they came in. They have been there for years.

I contacted our Missouri Conservation Department about stocking fish in some of our ponds. They said if they did then I would have to let the public fish them. But it wasn’t just one day per year it was whenever someone wanted to.

Stopping is probably more of a concern than towing. My wife towed my 20 Champion all over even to south Texas and back with a Ford Windstar minivan. She had no problem and the trailer had brakes so stopping was not an issue.

Bands rot. Copper floral wire doesn’t and is easy to use.

I no particular order green pumpkin red, watermelon red, watermelon candy, pb&j, coppertruse, the deal, Alabama craw, California craw, purple haze, june bug, dirt, easy money, and new money go where I go.

Mo I had all of the ones you mentioned and as the new generations came along I found improvements and sold off the old ones. I did the same with bait casters. I have done the same with rods. I guess I am not nostalgic.

I used it until I tried some Power Pro.

That’s a heck of a deal.

I feel that live view is just another step in the technology of the sport. I am a Humminbird guy so I have been wanting the Mega Live and waiting for over a year. I now have one and it will be installed later this month. I’m really looking forward to seeing what I can get from it. I probably don’t have as much time left in a boat as you do and so I am trying to make as much as possible with the time I have left.

I’ve read about it on a well known tackle building site that is owned by Lure Parts Online that I can not post on here. You can go to their site to the bottom of the page forth column to the right second line down.

It might behove you yo watch a bunch of videos on all three and see how much difference you see.
