    Has anyone been to Kentucky Lake?

    Sorry I know this is an older post but with some experience on that lake I thought I'd voice an opinion. Be very careful, Ky. Lake can get nasty very quick with the wind and the barge rollers. You can be in a relative calm section and make a turn around the bend and all devil breaks loose. I...

    I DID IT!

    My family and I have cashed in on Bess Pro Lifetime socks many times. They have never questioned or even looked at them to see if they were worn out. Bass Pro Has changed the material in the socks a few times as the old ones contained a higher % of wool than the newer versions, but they're still...

    Mounting Lights

    Sorry fellows for not getting up here before now and getting back with you. My boat is a LOWE and it has the rail around the inside of the gunnale. I drilled a hole that would accept a 5/16 carriage bolt heads behind the rail. The square shoulders lock it from turning and I have made a bracket...

    Mounting Lights

    I took a look at many of the boats and it appears most of these boats are single purpose units or the lights are mounted to a rail or platform. Hard to tell for sure but they didn't appear to be what I was thinking of or hoping to find. Thanks for the effort. I'm going to speak to a friend in a...

    Mounting Lights

    I have to use my boat for everything so any permanent fixtures is not an option. I'm looking for ideas on mounting bowfishing lights on the gunnel of my boat. I was originally thinking of keeping them single and having a simple clamp bolted welded to each light or something of the sort that I...

    Illegal? Unethical? What say you.....

    Keystone, Good on ya for standing up for what you believe. New River Rat I'm sorry to say there are many out there like you. I understand your feelings and your concerns with your loss of a special fishing hole and the smallmouth is a very special fish no question about it. Many times people...

    Fear the beard!

    I usually do a no shave November and let it grow on into spring but by then it's aggravating me more than my wife! :wink:

    Bunks

    I agree juggernot, seems jerry has an eye for things like this. I think I'm going to take a look at it as a covering on my Bunks also. It looks like it comes in different sizes too.

    Bunks

    Just a thought about this subject and not trying to sway opinions BUT: I spoke salesman at a boat dealership that is nation wide. I'm not going to say the name but they are one of the most widely known. Now for accuracy of this comment I spoke with a salesman and not someone in the shop. When I...

    Boat Cover Material

    Well a storage cover would be OK however I was having trouble finding something to fit. It's a 19' semi- or Modified V aluminum boat. All the covers applications show them for a deep V or else a square front jon boat. Neither of which I thought would fit right and the sales man agreed typically...

    Boat Cover Material

    I've talked about a boat cover for over a year now and can't seem to pull the trigger. I ask one person and they tell me one thing and another will tell me another, it just goes on an on. One thing that I wonder about is the material used in the mfg of these covers. Whether it be a custom cover...

    Can anyone help me ID this boat?

    Sorry I didn't catch which state you were in. I'd try to talk to a my local Boating Enforcement Agency what ever it's called in your state. Not the office but a field officer. Get him to run those HIN numbers and if it's ever been on file it should still be on record. When you junk or quit...

    Stick Steering - Need real world pics not advertisements

    Can't believe someone hasn't chimed in to help you. Sorry I'm no help with stick steer but it's an interesting subject. It seemed to be popular with a certain group around here a few years back. Mostly older fellows that used it, and they wouldn't have anything else. Most of those old fellows...

    Mr prick-eyes

    I wasn't there but the pics sure don't look like a copperhead. My experience with copperheads and snake ID tell me the head shape is too elongated and not of the pit viper shape, the pupils appear wrong (not elliptical) and the tail is wrong for a young copperhead.

    20' Lowe Olympic Jon Boat

    Sorry Jonboat Jerry I missed this post some how? As the old saying (excuse) goes I guess I've got too many irons in the fire. Grass is growing like crazy around here and with all my freebee lawn cuttings it's really got me bogged down. A word of advise to all who read this....Do not buy yourself...

    20' Lowe Olympic Jon Boat

    Everyone following this build from the beginning up till now would have disappointed if JJ had done anything less than spectacular work. There are no Melvin's on his jobs! =D>

    Propeller selection

    That makes things a lot clearer (at least for me) as to how you arrived at the prop numbers you tried. Agreed! It's a shame that some of us have to go through that much expense to get it right. I'm kind of in the same situation. Again Good Luck!

    Permatex thread sealer for fuel line connections

    I don't suppose I've ever seen any teflon tape other than that cheap white stuff. An many packages say it's for sealing threads. As ol sarge says, Come back and help us with this one.
