Upgrading my rod holders so I have some of these that are just going to collect dust.

This setup works with any style anchor that allows a shackle to be placed at the bottom. The rhode is tied to the bottom of the anchor using a stainless shackle and then ziptied to the top shackle. It will take some testing to find the right number of ties, but they act as a breakaway in case it...

I upgraded to a pair of grapnel anchors and as such I have a Richter anchor laying around now. It is either 15 or 20 pounds. West Marine has them for 75-100 dollars, you get this one for the cost of shipping from me to you or I will trade for fishing gear of a similar price. It comes with 50'...

My boat drives me crazy when I am anchored and the waves slap the front of the hull. I was thinking of something like dynamat to cut down on the noise, but the stuff isn't cheap. Anyone dealt with, and remedied this before?

This was posted on thehulltruth.com originally, but figured it would be pertinent information here as well. Fcbd41iDe2Y

I am thinking about subscribing to the lake maps feature. It is only 9.99 a year, but I wanted to see what some of you guys thought.

My buddy's parents own a house at the very north end of Norfork lake that we go and hang out for a weekend on and avoid the real world. We are trying to make a yearly trip out of it, but I need some fishing advice. We normally float Norfork River from Hodgson Mill in canoes and do some light...

When checking for leaky rivets, leave the water in the boat for a while. I had 1 rivet that was leaking, and I had put water in the boat several times. I finally filled my boat up and left it for a few hours. When I came out it had leaked just enough to have a drop hanging off the rivet. The...

Along with the various lighting I am adding to my boat as we speak, I would like to upgrade my livewell/baitwell. Right now I have a small bilge pump in a rubbermaid container below the deck of my boat found on the projects page. This gives me good aeration, but leaves a lot to be desired. 1) I...

Does anyone have a trailer with, or have pictures of a trailer with some sort of skids in front of the spring hardware that would allow a trailer to deal with washed out ramps? Twice I have backed down and gotten hung up on a washed up ramp because of my fender/spring mounting setup. Im tired...

I was buying my books for the semester and the depression made me spend some money completely irresponsibly. I ended up buying (2) 800gph bilge pumps (I have no flotation foam in my boat), 1 automatic switch (solid state, no float switches), (2) underwater lights, and another LED strip to run...

There are just some days that you look back and realize that had you stayed in bed, things would have been alright...Today was one of those days. I had been watching a huge group of birds for the last few days...1000-2000 geese and several hundred ducks..and had them patterned. We scouted them...

Most of us fish and some of us hunt which means meat in the freezer. Post up what you've cooked along with a recipe. Catfish Mardi Gras: Ill get the recipe up when I get on a computer later tonight.

My boat is really stern heavy (2 group 27 batteries, 6 gallon tank) and moving weight to the front isn't an option. I usually balance this by putting passengers toward the front. I have tried doelfins, but they catch too much crap and too many weeds. I have been looking at the Nauticus smart...

It has been a real thrash session trying to get my boat re-wired, and new front and back decks done, but I am there. I have a switch panel to build and 3 switches (for now) to install and then its duck season!

I have seen cutting boards/bait prep stations that attach to 15 deg rod holders but I would like to build or buy one that fits in my oarlock and keeps that bait somewhat out of the boat. This would be great for preparing cutbait while catfishing but I haven't seen one. Anyone have any ideas?

I wanted an RGB Led strip so I could run red lights during duck season, green lights while night fishing, and so I could have white lights in case I needed to see. This little project prompted me to re-wire the boat and re-work my bilge area. Enjoy M48sDjB5DIU

I would like to run a pair of deep cycle batteries in parallel for the reserve capacity when running lights at night, but I am worried about damaging either the batteries (less likely) or my outboard's charging system (more likely?). I know the outboard wont be able to keep a full charge, but...

I tried putting the picture below using the tags as my signature but all I see is "Image" in my signature. Any ideas?

In my 1652 Lowe, I am going to run a dual bilge pump setup, with one on an automatic float switch, and another on a manual switch. I am thinking a pair of 800gph should do the trick, but I just want to make sure I am not undersizing. Any opinions?
