Wetwater

This is helpful thank you. My trolling motor is apparently 55lbs of thrust. I looked a little and it was recommended to not go any less than 80ah because of the motherboard i guess. Unfortunately I don't think the 54ah is going to be a good trade for me after researching a bit more.

I have the opportunity to trade my dacota lithium 12v 100ah battery for a dacota lithium 12v 54 ah battery and wondering if the 54 ah would be enough for my motorguide Xi3 pushing a loaded bonafide ss127 kayak? I currently have the 100ah and its just to heavy for my liking. I have had some back surgeries and I would feel more comfortable with moving a lighter battery around instead of the one I have. Would the 54 ah be enough with as much thrust as it has? Im never on the water more than 4 hours at a time. I was planning on selling my 100ah and looking for a 60 ah but this opportunity came up to trade for the 54 ah and curious if its enough. Thanks!

Sure, that makes sense

This is helpful, thank you! Im leaning towards the garmin for a few reasons. Ive heard they are pretty simple and user friendly and I like the price point of course too, especially for my first one since I really don't know what I need yet besides depth, water temp and shows me structure directly below me. Another question i have is on one of my kayaks I have 12,volt 100amp for a trolling motor. Can I hook the depth finder up to that one battery and power both of them at same time with no issues?

Im looking to purchase my 1st fish finder and install it on my kayak. Ive been looking at one of the Garmin striker 4 models and a hummingbird helix 7 model. So, I have 2 kayaks. A bonafide ss127 and a native slayer propel max 10. Pending on the body water is how i choose which one I will be using. I was wondering if I could own one fish finder but use it on either kayak? Could I easily pop one off and throw it on the other one with no big deal? Im guessing you would need multiple transducers and wiring kits?? Is this a thing that's done normally with no big deal and if so what does it take to do it?Im looking to purchase my 1st fish finder and install it on my kayak.

I will check them out. Thank you!

After looking at prices a little closer if I was to move my budget to $300 for rod only would you have any other recommendations?

Would the dobyns 765 flip with the tatula 80 be ok paired together?

This is great and really helpful!! Thank you! I want to be looking for a higher speed reel correct? Maybe something over 8? Also would you recommend braid or flouro?

Im thinking more on the lighter side. Im thinking up to an once plus bait too...Im planning on standing in the kayak but there is a possibility I could be sitting at times too

I would like to start punching grass mats out of my kayak and could use some advice on a rod and reel combo. Im thinking I wouldn't use much over 1 oz maybe 1.5. I was looking at some of the dobyns fury rods. I would like to stay under $200 for a rod. I was looking at the dobyns 765 flip and wondered if that would be enough or if the 805 would be better? Could use reel recommendations too. Thanks in advance

Great! Thank you

Can you fish bass all year long in Wisconsin as long as you catch and release? Also, if you fish the Mississippi pools in the lacrosse area do you need to get a out of state fishing license if you're a Minnesota resident?

That's the part I'm confused about. I also read that they would be good for jerkbaits but with jerkbaits having treble hooks it confused me. I do have a dedicated jerkbait rod already but good to know. That's great if it works well for smaller walking baits like smaller spooks and poppers because that's what I got it for. Thank you fishingmickey!

So a little while back I picked up a (6'8 st croix mojo medium extra fast rod) when the older generation went on sale. It says it's a "topwater" rod. What kind of topwater lures would I want to throw with it? I read recently that the extra fast action is good for single hooks not treble. I was considering throwing spooks and poppers and now im thinking that's probably not a good idea because of the treble hooks. Then I was thinking maybe a zoom horny toad with a 4/0 hook might work but then I'm not sure if a medium is strong enough for that application so I'm just curious what most people would use a medium extra fast for? For the moment I paired it with a slx dc 151xg 8.2
