  1. I did a semipermanent install, where i glued a piece of foam (with an opening the shape of transducer cut out) and then just used vaseline. For powering it i used an 8 battery clip and a 9 volt snap connector. I have fished for about 20 hours and still am using those 8 batteries. That probably doesnt make a ton of sense but check out this page it should help http://kayakfishingstuff.com/articles_view.asp?Kayak_Articles=39 Also check out the kayakfishingstuff forums and articles. Tons of good information and lots of pictures of installs. PM me if you have any other questions. Jason
  2. Yeah i have a fishing kayak, and the Ram mounts work pretty well in them. That thing is pretty awesome by the way. Get a milkcrate to put all your tackle boxes in, they fit well in the back part.
  3. i am pretty sure you can get those jigs at greentop
  4. Yeah i fished mine texas rigged with a bullet weight. The black w/red flake, has been one of my most productive lures this year.
  5. Contact your DNR/ Game and Inland Fisheries. They will have all the info on what to stock and how much. Also who to contact to get fish. When we stocked ours, you placed your order at a feed store, and then a truck would come once every couple months and you would pick up your fish.

    Caught this 23.5 inch (citation length in VA) 6lber on a Berkley Powerbait Sabertail Bug. Caught her out of my fishing kayak, right near a spillway on a local pond. .5 lb heavier than my old PB. Have been doing really well with kreature type baits and jigs. Caught two other 5+lb fish on jigs over the past week, but didn't have my camera. The pictures are pretty bad and don't really do the fish justice.
  8. I have a pair of MP2's with green mirror glass. I really like them. I believe they are amber based. Also the glass are actually lighter than the CR-39. I orginally had the CR-39 in amber, and had a little accident in which my glasses spent the better part of a year in my backyard pond. When i sent them back i upgraded to the glass, and i am glad i did. lighter and clearer. Check this link out, give you an overview of all the lenses. You wont regret getting Costas. Best sunglasses out there. http://www.costadelmar.com/SeeOutThere/Technology/PureLensPerfection/
  9. At my parents house we have a 1.5 acre pond, that i am pretty much the only one that ever fishes. My dad ocasionally does, but pretty much i am the only one. The pond itself is seven years old. The first couple years i fished it, i would catch close to 10 an hour. Now it may be one or two. I also used to catch them all the time on tubes. It was pretty much my go to bait. Now when i fish with a tube it will be just a dink or two. I take good care of the pond, making sure to remove appropriate amounts/size bluegills and bass each year. So the pond is in fine shape, and there are plenty of fish. The other week i went and bought some minnows to try and catch some of the catfish and see how big they had gotten. In the processs of catching the catfish i also caught a 6lb and 6.5lb bass. I havent caught anything over 3lbs on artificial lures in awhile. What i am getting at, is that i defiently feel that bass get conditioned to certain baits and will no longer eat them. Just like people, there are bright ones and then there are dumb ones. Why one fish gets to be 10+lbs, while the other ones mouth it all torn up from being caught so many times is not just dumb luck.
  10. I am a big fan of Worlds Greatest Fishing Show. While it is not the most informative, it is pretty entertaining. Plus they aren't trying to sell you stuff the entire time. Roland Martin actually isn't bad in these two episodes.
  11. I have Costa Del Mar MP2's with the green glass lens. I love those glasses.
  12. The thing is that you shouldn't have to ask. The guest should offer. I think its a pretty classless move, when the guest doesnt offer.
  13. I have bought some stuff from them in the past year. Quick shipment, and product was in great shape. I will do business with them again.
  14. I have been catching them predominately on traps and then tossing GYCB black w/blue speck kreature baits around cover in richmond.
  15. I have a Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 Angler. I mounted a humminbird pirahanmax 240 on there. Its great for lakes, ponds, and the river. You also get a little exercise.
  16. what were you using. i only caught two in about two hours on shad darts.
  17. Anyone going shad fishing this afternoon. i will be at ancarrows around 3 this afternoon.
  18. check the southeastern forum, there is an ongoing thread, with some info on it. also try google, you can find a lot of good info out there. i have been using pink and yellow shad darts
  19. 15% of LC's, 10% of Gay Yamamoto, and 20% of Culprit. Good enough excuse to buy some new stuff.
  20. Here is the google maps coordinate for ancarrows Site 1 @37.519861,-77.418712
  21. I have Costa MP2 with the green mirror lenses and i love them. Best glasses i have ever owned. I had to send them back, and there customer service department was top notch. Get the Costas, you wont regret it.
  22. I picked up some shad darts at Greentop this weekend. i believe Dicks may carry some too.
  23. I may be totally wrong about this. But i always thought at night, that light would attract fish.
  24. I got one and use it for fishing buzzbaits, and frogs. I use the twitchin bar occasionally with the frogs.
  25. I was up at greentop the other day picking up a depthfinder, and also picked up some shad darts. Anyone else around the richmond area, interested in trying to catch some when they begin to make their run. It should be coming up in the next couple weeks. I have been told it is alot of fun catching them on light weight tackle. I havent done it yet, so wouldnt mind meeting up with someone that has done it before.
