can a trolling motor handle be reversed
just switch the positive and negative connectors on the battery and you will have 5 in reverse and 3 in forward. hope this makes sense.

Best hand controlled trolling motor?
I would go with minn kota anyday, i have an all-terrain motor and it is awesome. i have foot controlled but the hand controlled is just as good. i would highly recommend this motor.

Be quiet!
I learned this the hard way, i was fishing a jig and it hit the water with a big splash and it startled the fish that was their and there was a big disturbance in the water, a second later i see a 6 pounder zooming into deeper water. that was in a tournament too!

Fish -n- ski
My dad has a 17 1/2 foot glastron fish and ski and it is easy to fish out of. I have seen some of the new Glastron Fish and ski's and they are made more for fishing but provide ample space for pleasure boating.

FISH FINDER ON OR OFF?
I have never really thought about this even though i use my fishfinder 50%-75% of the time. I usally turn it off when i am fishing 8 feet or shallower since i usually fish clear water neatural lakes. When fishing in stained to muddy water i will leave it on all the time. I dont really think it makes a difference , except when a cold front comes through in the crystal clear waters, then i will turn it off.

Why R Bass LockJawed After A Cold Front
I have heard that when the water temp lowers 5+ degrees the fish almost become shocked and become very skittish and will always look at a biat for a long time before eating it.

Is it best to go bass fishing early or noon?
I love fishing in the low light hours with a spinnerbait, and buzzbait. Topwater fishing is the funnest in the moring. the strikes are explosive.
-
Are fish any smarter today than years ago?
I think that fish can be accustomed to same lures and such, but you could still catch them with that lure if you experiment with retrieves. Also i agree that new lures seem to be magical for a while then they come back to the status of an everyday bait, that still catches alot of fish.

Thick Tree stumps cover
Flip a jig or a soft plastic bait such as a creature bait. I prefer to use te sweet beaver when flippin.
