So I need to replace my 12 volt trolling motor battery. What I have in the boat is an Interstate SRM-27. Looking at Sam's Club has the Duracell Marine Deep Cycle Battery, Group size 27 for $99.32 and the Duracell AGM Marine Battery, Group Size 27M for $199.28. What is the difference in these 2 batteries and how will they compare to the Interstate Battery I am running now? My Interstate was put in the boat October of 2020. Time to replace. I will also replace the starting battery at the same time. I have about $500 in club points so the batteries won't cost me anything.

I used paracord with some metal rings the first 2 years cause I didn't want to drill. Last year I put on anchor trolly's on both kayaks with an anchor wizard. Wish I would have done that the day I bought them home. Drill baby Drill!!!!!!

My wife and I are wanting to drive up and kayak fish the glacial lakes targeting smallmouths, but just want to make sure we catch a lot of fish. We fished Roy lake in our big boat about 14 years ago. We would be more than happy to return there but wanted some suggestions on a few lakes to try that would be great to fish in our kayaks and waters that provide great smallmouth fishing. Thanks!

I fished Roy lake about 12 years ago in my big boat. Now I have kayaks and would like to make a trip up there this summer. Is Roy still a good lake for smallmouth fishing and are there any other small lakes you would suggest for Kayak fishing smallies?

Picked up 2 new Jackson Bites today. Will put them on the water tomorrow.

Which size Pflueger President to put on a St. Croix 7 medium light rod for casting inline spinners for smallmouth and largemouth?

Thanks at this point, I think I am going to pick up the Bite on Tuesday.

It's either one of these 2 kayaks for me. Will be a bass fishing kayak used on small lakes and reservoirs here in Kansas. To buy the Bite, I have to travel 5 hours south and to buy the Big Fish I have to travel 5 hours north. So I won't really be able to compare them.
