Northern first bass guess
March 11th ice came off the lake the last few days and it’s going to 60 on the 10-11th I’ll go find at least one bass.

I agree with this I think you’ll be sinking money into a pit unless you get super lucky. I’d save and try to buy something much newer.

Sat In My First "Sparkly" Boat Last Weekend...
I really like my sparkly bass boat.

Is side view/scan worth it in smaller bodies of water?
Absolutely it’s worth it.

Garmin or Humminbird/Minn Kota?
I have both I have a complete one boat network with Humminbirds I run 3 Helix 10s 2 at the console one on the front deck. A Minnkota Ultrex and two Raptors. But I also run a Garmin 1222 for my FFS. I’m extremely happy with this set up. Im extremely happy with Humminbird Side images and lake master mapping. And I’m extremely happy with my Garmin LVS 34 Livescope.

Super nice boat you got there.

Jitterbug's
I love throwing a black Muskie size jitterbug at night for bass.

Screen size for livescope?
You’ll be fairly close to the screen in the kayak I think you should be happy with the 9.
-
Screen size for livescope?
9” will work but honestly I’d get the biggest you can. I run a 12” strictly for livescope

Pulled the trigger on a set of Raptors for my boat.
I’ll post some better pictures when I get it back in my garage next weekend.

Which partner would you pick?
This is easy for me I would choose my dad and not even care if we zeroed every derby. Those memories are worth more then money to me. I didn’t have a father figure growing up to teach me anything. right now my tournament partner is my 14 year old son and as much as he wants to win it’s all about memories for me. We did place 3rd once last year and hopefully we will get a win this coming season.

Who still fishes from the bank?
I fish from the bank all the time if I only have a limited time I don’t bother with my boat.

Forward facing sonar newbie
My honest opinion is just buy the LVS 34 if you already have the garmin.

1.25oz bladed jig rod
Yep either a 7’2 heavy bass pro crankin stick rated up to 2 oz this would be my choice for that weight. or a 7’10 mag heavy bass pro crankin stick rated up to 4 oz. Both about a hundred dollars on sale. I have about 5 of them for different applications.

Yeah, the bass might be biting, but still RUN!!!
That was plain ignorance on their part. I’m sorry but there is no excuse for that the only one I feel bad for is the dog.

I’m thinking about doing this myself.
- Side scan color?

Adding FFS
Get the biggest screen you can for ffs. I run 3 Helix 10’s and a garmin 1222 and LVS 34 for FFS and maps only. There’s to many factors at play to tell you what to get. what’s the budget do you want to stay with all Humminbird?

Ninja Trolling Motor Grass Blade: Experience & Opinions?
I’ve been using the grass blade since 2014 on my bow mounts. I think it works great and I will always have one on my trolling motor.
