winterizing your boat
Be sure to trim the motor down to keep rain water from getting into the housing freezing and busting it. Or cover it good to keep water out.

TX-Rigged Elaztech, slipping?
Why would you want to take it off the hook in the first place? I’m sure that I have at least 1/2 dozen Elaztech baits rigged on setups in the boat right now ready for duty on Friday.

winterizing your boat
It depends on what they will do for that $100. The minimum is change the lower unit fluid as well as the washers behind the screws. Some fog the engine. Where I live we fish year round so mine doesn’t have to be winterized. I used to do my own service work until I bought a 4 stroke. No I hire it done. How will the motor be stored?

TX-Rigged Elaztech, slipping?
Here is my version of a parasite clip. I use 20 ga galvanized steel wire. The bait stays in place when you set the hook.

Can’t get a bit on a wacky rig
That’s one technique that has never worked for me. I have tried it on several different lakes in different seasons. I have completed quit trying it.

Pet bass?

First round rubber jig
This is a pic from the guy who says he invented the puff ball jig. He says he is making a step by step video of his process. If he does I will let you know.

Fishing critic
If that is happening often, you might check with law enforcement. In lots of places it is illegal to harass a fisherman or hunter.

Getting Ready, Help with Wintertime Bass Fishing
From the bank I would be using jigs, tubes, Ned rigs, and Arigs.

Why fluorocarbon?
I’ll tell you why I switched. The first time I fished with someone who was using fluorocarbon he caught 7 bass out of the back of my boat before my monofilament and I caught 1. I bought some and that evened things up. Now it is on most of my bait caster setups.

Can’t decide between braid and flourocarbon
I’m in the fluorocarbon group. I only use straight braid (50#) for top water where stripers are present and for Arigs. I also use 8/1 for crappie in the fall and early winter. I always use fluorocarbon for jigs, shaky, and Ned.
