Super idea. I think I will try that with a fluke. Thanks.

When I was in teaching I changed jobs 6 times. I never wanted to go back to one that I had left.

No I mean trolling motor to electronics.

That’s interesting. I’ve never even tried to fish that way.

If you are talking about what is on hand right now, it is somewhere around $140,000. That includes the boat and truck which only get used for fishing.

I only have full cork and don’t see a split in my future.

What do you mean by dragging? You can drag with the rod or the boat. I do it both ways. Shaky I always drag with the rod. Neds are deadly when dragged with the boat.

That’s what I figured but I don’t know if he thinks I should make my friend more baits.

I don’t understand what you mean.

Thanks. I have poured him 2 dozen of each size that I listed. Will that be enough for a week of solid fishing?

Be sure your brands match up for maximum efficiency.

I got a call last night from a friend who is going with some guys the first week of June. I don’t know what lake but they will be fishing for smallmouth. He wants some tube heads and Ned heads. Neither he no I have fished there before. So I am trying to get an idea of what to make him. My original thoughts are 1/8 and 1/4 oz tube heads and 1/16, 3/32, and 1/8 oz Ned heads. Mn guys am I in the ball park or way off course?

Most of our spots and smallies have red eyes. I haven’t noticed it much in lmb.

I had a guy in Alabama super tune some Curados and but Bocas in. It was an improvement.

I like it. I just wish I wasn’t the only one who didn’t like dandelions.

I have broken a couple and they would not let me deviate from what I had.

I agree with your logic. A one network boat is the way to go. I have an Ulterra. I had to go that route because of my back. I had Lowrance units. They were not compatible with it. $7,000 later I got there with birds. I don’t know anything about Minn Kota except for mine but I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

That far down any knot will do as you aren’t apt to get to it. Tie the knot and put a piece of tape on it.

Those look great.

I changed but that didn’t help.

Read your manual. Surely Lowrance still has it.

The first thing I would do is cover the area again and do a recording. Then I would pull off some place quiet and study the recording. I can find a lot more interesting places when I am sitting watching the recording. That is how I survey places. As I watch the recording, I can mark waypoints as needed.

Right now my favorite is my custom 7 1/2’ shaky rod. It has better feel than my Gloomis rods.

A knee surgery (long time runner) took standing up to fish out of the picture. 4 hand surgeries plus occasional cortisone shots keeps me being able to grip my rods. Bad back couldn’t deploy and stow the trolling motor. An Ulterra took care of that. Two acetaminophen before leaving home and two more every 6 hours keeps my back going. Otherwise everything is fine. By the way you two are just kids.
