  1. Out of about 30 trips on the water, have never got water internally. Driving down the road in a downpour, some water made it's way in the main seam. Not really a big deal, just stood the boat up and drain. The one modification that I did immediately was install a floor drain plug at the Stern. That boat fills up with water it's gonna take an NFL offensive line to tip it to drain. Lol
  2. Nice write-up, thanks. Oh, I'm a fan of both ?
  3. Our river is predictable as where SM like to hang. Below rapids - Eddie's - where current meets slower water - boulders - ledges. I rarely cast into shallow current unless there's a large exposed rock, I'll hit the back side.
  4. This man probably posted something on social media about this rude guy at the pond. ? Nah, you did nothing wrong.

    ¶ Muskrat Susie Muskrat Sam ¶. Lol That is quite a Musky, thanks for sharing.
  6. You speak a foreign language to this ole' guy...... Streaming ??? I'm still trying to figure out Bluetooth. Lol Just get your ball scores while you're out on the boat, what I do.
  7. You can't go wrong with Zoom flukes and Bass assassins, fun the skip also. When I want a little less weight and a bait that has a really nice shimmy on the fall, I throw a Keitech easy shiner 4".........say under docks or tight grass mats when I want the bait there longer.
  8. Pelican cases are very nice.
  9. Not just a spot but an entire lake can get over fished , especially smaller bodies of water. We have a local 134 acre lake that gets so much pressure that all the locals call it " 1 fish Frederick " . Lol
  10. First I've seen one of those. I can't see a trolling motor in that pic, that would be a problem for me.
  11. Yes, very good point but unfortunately these types of people have no regard for others or themselves. I watched a guy drinking bottled beer from his boat and when he finished the beer he simply sank it to the bottom of lake ? Wife and I use to volunteer to pick up trash in a lake we camped at and it was amazing the amount of wet garbage we gathered. Thankfully I was raised to respect others and the beautiful resources we get to enjoy.
  12. I've looked at them, nice boats. The main reason I went Bass Raider is because I could throw it on back of truck by myself.....and pull our RV trailer to the lakes. The Bass hound appears to require a trailer. Does it come with a trailer?
  13. We have one particular lake that is well populated with pickerel. Can't say that I like catching them. They like jerkbaits and flukes but fight like little girls. Lol They are pretty fish though.
  14. My wife use to get bladder infections all the time but that was when we were young and I made her drink beer with me. Did they prescribe anything to her ?
  15. This is surprising to hear and certainly hope you get it figured out. For many many years and this year once again is no exception. I've caught more bass on a Spinnerbait then any other bait. Only advice I can offer is throw them over submerged cover...... wood, grass and in between standing timber. Throw them in shallow coves. They get crushed and hook up ratio is phenomenal. That said, they are also very versatile as well. On a breezy day with ripple on the water I may very well throw one all day. Zman and terminator are the ones I've grown fond of.
  16. I'm retired and bought a Bass Raider 10E ( plastic boat ). Can load and unload on back of truck without assistance, no trailer required.
  17. I'm not understanding this fertilizer thing. Why would I promote the grouth of something I'm trying to kill ? ?

    High cholesterol can definitely be hereditary. Mine has been high for many years but can't tell, feel good.
  19. We've had a lot of rain lately, gonna force me to mow today......grrrr.
  20. 3/8 black or white, skirted, no trailer.
  21. Welcome to BR ?
  22. Wow, almost seems weekly. Once again, prayers for this young man's family and friends.
  23. Most effective all-time ? 1. Spinnerbaits 2. Jigs
  24. Sad to hear, will pray for all those that love him. My best friend and fishing partner for over 40 years is really spiraling down hill as we speak.
  25. At $70 you basically got the rod for nothing, good find. Me likes all my Lews combo's.
