Oh I see. In my mind I was thinking a paper receipt that you could just do the entire shirt order in a family members name with. An online order with your name and address on the proof of purchase Probably wouldn’t work.

You don’t have family? Lol

I bet there’s a club in your area you could join. Probably won’t be Jon boat specific but I bet you could use that to your advantage and get into some places the big boats can’t.

Yes, I’d say owning boats has been pretty fulfilling for us.

My daughter grew up on my boats.

He wore himself out camping over Easter weekend.

I love senko fishing and tried the yum dingers and KVD Ochos and they just don’t catch them the same for me as the GY. So I have a ton of confidence in the senko. Therefore, even though I haven’t thrown the tanuki yet, I have a lot of confidence in them already. Just my thought. I could get out there and they stink lol.

The fat ika and the cover scat don’t do It for me. What other baits are there so I can check them out?

Do you think glass boats today are same as glass boats 25-45 years ago?

This. My 20’ Vexus gets blown around pretty good but no wind has ever kept me off the water where I would have went if I had a glass boat. If that makes sense. Ultrex helps a lot. It would be nice to have glass and be able to get off the tm more but I’m used to It now. Also premium tin boats (Vexus, ranger, xpress) have lower sides which help alot.

Everything you said is literally the exact opposite for me and why I own a boat and sold the kayaks. When I start missing my kayaks I remember the pia It was hauling them around, launching, not being able to fish where I really want, etc. Literally nothing in life except food, water, and shelter is a need then. I disagree though. I definitely need a boat. Because I NEED my life to be fulfilled.

I have some big regular bellows gills but they stink so bad I haven’t used them lol Also I couldn’t help It. Just placed an order for a couple p-line spools, hayabusa pitching hooks, Owner twistlock flipping hooks, owner rig-n-worm hooks, and a culling tag holder to mount in my livewell.

Dobyns Maverick 733? It’s medium heavy but they seem soft to me

I’ve had no problems with any of them as far as finickiness.

Bantam for me personally. I like the HD for pitching due to the power handle.

Should be an easy fix for any daiwa service person.

I’d check major bass boat forum classifieds. Many people buy boats with fortrex and immediately purchase an ultrex. Then sell the fortrex cheap.

You can say that again. And again.

Anyone ever get bored at 9 at night and even though you know Walmart doesn’t have selection for anything, you go there anyway to look because it’s the only store open with tackle? Probably just me. Lol

Not often. Jason Christie likes to throw one.

You’re not. But doesn’t mean It doesn’t happen.

I had an old lady come out and cheer for me when my daughter and I caught a good one near her dock. Other than hellos, that’s the only interaction I’ve had with any dock owners.

Also on another note, I crack up every time Nick Lebrun catches one and says “that Hayabusa tb3098643 really did the job” I don’t actually know the numbers he says but he always says the entire model number of whatever hook he’s using.

***I’m currently on day two of Stage 3 so please don’t name the winner. Something I’ve noticed alot in watching every BPT event over the last 3 seasons is that many of the top guys are using the exact same bait each tournament. Example: in Florida they were almost all using Chatterbait. This tournament on lake Murray they are almost all using flukes. So my question is, are they all that good to coincidentally pick up the same bait, or do you think there’s some behind the scenes (and against the rules) talking amongst friends to help each other out? PS- I know someone is going to say well Mark Davis throws a c-rig and Chris Lane won with a stick-o, etc. etc. etc. I’m just saying, Lake to lake, many of the same top guys are throwing the same thing as each other every time.
