Finally got all of my Black Friday items ! Only thing I need is a 1/8 oz tube jig and I’m set for smallie season! The 3/8 are a little too big but lesson learned. Just use it for deep water.  

I've been good all year keeping the bait monkey away, but its itchin again..

Stay tuned!

It's only been a month since I took my last paddle/cast in the canoe and I'm itching for some new tackle.

 

Parents always give me some money for Christmas, easier than picking gifts. Have to wait until then to scratch that itch.

Got a special treat for big jerkbait eaters.

I've got it in the 100mm size for smallies. I love the paint quality on these.

Holy wow! What do you do, use it as a club and beat them over the head with it? ?

I use the 97MR Slender Pointer a lot for smallies, it's a killer smallmouth bait.

It's a lot smaller than some baits I use. The big largemouth at the power plant lake eat big gizzard shad, lots in the 6-10 inch range, so big baits are what they prefer.

My favorite LC color.

Found this for 25% off. Since it's a 3 bank it looks like I'm going to have to upgrade to a 36v trolling motor now...

I have that charger. It’s the best purchase I’ve made so far for the boat.

 I have to admit the rat was a impulse. 

I love that Spro Rat. I've got a 30 and a 40. The action and sound on it is just great. One of these days I'll actually catch something on it.

The bait monkey has been going nuts lately. Been buying the Herring color baits by the case. 

A few of my Black Friday order. Also picked up a Dobyns swimbait rod.

 

@Coonedawg do you lose alot of lures or something? That's alot ?

Fishing buddies had me pick them up for them since only one store carries that color in the world. But I do like to keep a stockpile for myself

@NorcalBassin, might I suggest the MK 440PC for all four our your marine batteries. I have been extremely pleased with this model when I replaced the stock Ranger unit in my boat. Oh, and it did pair nicely with a new Fortrex 112...

Thank you for the suggestion and if I had "only" 4 batteries heading in that's what I'd be doing. I have a 20ft v-hull and am not too concerned about weight, so I'm going to a 5 battery setup with 3 up front (when I make the move to 36v) and 2 in the back (1 for electronics, 1 for cranking). The 2 bank I'm replacing up front will go in the back. I'm running 70lbs right now and can't wait to get up to 112 like yours. Sounds like you have a pretty sweet setup. ?

I've been looking to get a swimbait rod for a while and patience finally payed off. 

 

I picked up the DOBYNS FURY 7'9" MED-HEAVY SWIMBAIT CASTING ROD FR 795SB

 

I also bought  took a  RIVER2SEA WHOPPER PLOPPER 130 TOPWATER BAIT in rainbow trout to qualify for free shipping. The total price dropped by a buck and some change.

 

$91.81 shipped. I did upgrade to premium ground shipping for $3.95 hoping at least trained monkeys will handle the package.
