Yep. I get a palm of grease and scrape the bearings till grease pushes out. It’s the green marine grease from Oreilly’s Where do you get your grease?

I jack the trailer up after every couple of trips to spin the wheels and listen. When they start sounding rough I pull everything apart and clean the rotten grease out of everything, but by that time the bearings are already rust pitted. I ignored them too long last year and found myself changing a bearing at the gas station . That was a long way to say failure Yep

I’m going to check this out. Thanks

Yes , I change the races out every time I change the bearings , but the seal looks good . I’m going to change them out anyway when I get my bearing buddies. The dust cap is where the water is puddled and the grease is discolored around the castle nut, so I think it’s coming around my dust cap.

I will order some today. Thanks for the advice.

It’s about thirty miles to the lake from my house, and I go twice a week , usually. You are right about the water intrusion. I can’t seem to keep it out. Every trip when I get home I pull the dust cap off and pour out a dribble.

I would be tickled with one year.

I'm having to change the bearings on my trailer about every six weeks . This seems like a lot . How often should they have to be replaced , and do you have any tips on bearing maintenance ?

Trolling is fun.

New Mexico charges for a second rod too

BUSTED

Walleye are only surpassed by bluegill in deliciousness IMO. My wife and I fish walleye all winter, bluegill in the summer .

Yikes!

Nicely done

Big Game is the berries.

Did you sharpen the hooks?

I’ve used that rig for swimbaits but never a rage craw. Cool beans, I got something new to try ! Thanks

What is a rage rig?

Awesome!

Ditto. But I’m going to try and get better at the ol droop shot so I can stifle some of the heckling from my wife.

Last weekend I fished a large flat covered in dead trees . I never gave it a second thought , but I will now. Thanks for the heads up.

I use a medium for a lot of stuff, but it is miserable to try using the medium for big spinnerbaits or deep diving crankbaits , even snatching a lipless out of grass is a pain. They just don’t have enough backbone.

That’s a beautiful fish.

What in the world ? At my job I see a lot of damaged freight , but that's next level stupid .
