    Catfish bait

    The post from AACH got me thinking, my go to bait for catfish is some shrimp mixed with chicken livers/blood and left out in the sun for the day, and ofcourse there is always the good ole night crawler and hot dogs. What does everyone else use? Anyone make their own stink baits/dough balls?

    Determining speed

    A bored day got me thinking, I've removed about 100LBs of excess weight from my boat over time which is roughly 15%. Now with the HP to weight ratio being 15% better should I expect about 15% more speed? Anyone ever saw a formula for this?
