In college I was always on a quest to find good public duck hunting spots. Late 1980's, alone in December, blustery overcast morning I was walking some public land on the Platte River in Central Nebraska. Wearing my Northerner rubber chest waders, crossing small channels of the Platte...most were ankle to knee deep. Of course I crossed one island and thought I could make it just one more channel over... As I'm moving across the river I can feel the sand shifting beneath my feet (as it always does), the water getting ever so slightly deeper, the current getting stronger. Soon I'm forced to hold my Remington 1100 over my head to keep it out of the water...I look down and the river is just inches from the top of my waders. Of course I did not have on an form of PDF(!). I realized right then and there this was a bad plan...and slowly turned around and made it back. Did not find any new hunting spots that day...but lived to tell the tale. Lesson learned!

BPS and Cabela's used to be great. Now neither are worth a darn. Thankfully my local Scheels has a great selection of baits. There are times when I order on-line...but I plan for at least a week's wait for shipping.

Years ago it was a white power-grub on a small lead-head. Now it's a green-pumpkin TRD on light NED head jig.

Outstanding! Keep hammering them!

I stand corrected! Would love to find a few more...but this price : (

Good on you for researching now! I researched 5th wheels a few years back, accurate information is often hard to find. Manufacturers list specifications differently, makes lining this all up difficult. My friends tow a lot, big 5-ers, big walleye boats...sometimes double-pulling (boat behind 5th wheel). Something to think about: vehicle tow ratings a not as much about the engine and getting the load moving...what is waaaaaaay more important is stopping! The diesel engine in my Silverado HD is the same engine GM puts in medium duty trucks. My truck is rated to tow ~13,000 lbs. Medium duty trucks much more... Why? Because of beefed up suspension, brakes, etc. on medium duty trucks. Buddy who farms would pile round bails on his trailer...and pull with his 3/4 ton Duramax. We calculated the load...over 30,000 lbs! He said getting the load moving wasn't an issue...stopping...that required a lot of space. (note: he was pulling on a gravel road between his farm and land...not on highways or roads).

I mounted mine up front, and attached transducer to the bottom of my 20 year old Minn Kota. 7" is plenty big enough for me. My boat is only 14' with 20hp Merc. I'm not fishing big water.

I fished for years with an old Bottom Line Fishin Buddy...and switched to Garmin Echomap UHD 7SV. So from this... To this... Side view is AWESOME! Got mine on clearance from Scheels. it has the older GT-54 transducer. It was $499.

This has been working for me lately.

Old Bass Pro Terminator titanium shaft has been working for me this spring. New skirt...couldn't find my trailers, so just used white power grub. Seems to work just fine.

Nope. Pulled the hook out of his back...but it was still stuck in his shirt. He gave me wire cutters and I cut the barb off the treble. Left just a small hole in his fishing shirt.
