  1. No you are not. I have no clue as to what channel I would tune to if I cared to watch some.
  2. I use 50# braid. When I can’t get it loose I wrap the line around a boat cleat and use the trolling motor to pull it free. Only once have I lost one that was hung bad enough to break my line.
  3. I use 7 and 8 ratio reels for everything except A rigs. For them I use 5.
  4. Cooked parasites are 100% protein.
  5. Lure parts on line sells wire forms for A rigs. You can buy epoxy putty and make your own heads any shape you want. I did that before I bought a mold. I even used electric fencing wire to make some. I’ve been throwing them for several years. I keep 2 setups with Arigs tied on year round.
  6. I make my own. I use a ball head in 1/16 and 1/8 depending on how deep I plan to fish it.
  7. Try adding a bobber to your current setup.
  8. Mixing is not for me. I want all of them able to network and share data.
  9. I can’t imagine how it can be done. Can you elaborate?
  10. You might want to put a keeper on the hook. Most any wire of even weed guard will work. I like floral wire. You can even use heat shrink tubing.
  11. I’ve never seen one with foot control that didn’t have a 2 part shaft. I don’t think you can make it happen.
  12. When I worked for a boat dealership I sold extended warranties. I got 20% of the cost and the owner got 30%.
  13. I don’t know about the eagle. I have 7 hmg rods. They get the job done.
  14. My experience is that my doctor didn’t make a big enough deal out of it to get me to change. My vertebral arteries clogged up and I had a stroke. I wound up in a rehab hospital undergoing therapy learning how to speak and walk properly. My right one is 100% clogged and the left one is 70%. I now have a twice daily regimen of meds to keep my blood pressure and cholesterol under control and blood thinners to help prevent another stroke. It isn’t something to take lightly.
  15. Anything you see is history. If you have the amplitude scope active that is current.
  16. There aren’t many battery manufacturers. Several brands are produced by the same company. Just get a marine cranking battery and keep it charged. Check your motor manual for recommended ccas. Then get a battery with more.
  17. Smoked is my favorite way to eat walleye. I don’t skin or even scale them. I fillet them, take out the ribs and lateral bones. A little olive oil and some lemon pepper is all I use.
  18. Same results here from oatmeal.
  19. I’ve tried some of my Ned setups and they don’t cut it. I am fishing lay downs and need to keep the boat farther out than the tree tops but still almost reach the bank. I looked at Bass Pro today and only got confused.
  20. Clayton BPS 100 mph is the only ones I have ever had that kept me dry but they aren’t for summer days.
  21. I haven’t ordered from them for quite a while. The last time was slider grubs but I can get them locally now.
  22. I don’t like plastic and I don’t like checks. I normally carry at least $500 plus small bills. If I see it and want it I want to have enough to pay for it.
  23. Yes I have them and yes I use them. When I lube a reel I make several casts with one. When I put on new line I normally cast a few times
  24. In order to get the most out of today’s trolling motors and electronics they need to be compatible. So if you are going above the basic models you need to research both trolling motors and sonar/gps units. I used to run Motor Guide and Lowrance. They worked well together. I now run Minn Kota and Humminbirds. They also work well together.
