Have been wondering if Temu is a scam since they want a credit card before signing up. Good prices in any case. thill, try this is spring: Remove the curl tail off a small curl tail grub leaving a 1" body. Rig it on a 1/16 oz. or lighter ball head jig connected to 8# test braid or other small...

Getting back to U's original post, I think lure choice can be simplified to this: a lure's action profile. It seems fish do what evolution has programmed them to do when it comes to strikes whether those involving live bait or those that are a response to specific lure actions. For example...

Not to mention the weight of a 12v battery...

Like the bottom mount!! May have to make my own.

Why? 4 different boats (one is a 15' canoe) and 2 different trolling motor 2 shaft lengths.

You never know if you don't try.

When it comes to spoons, I remember catching many bass on black Silver Minnow weedless spoons with black Uncle Josh pork frogs attached. Trailers tend to slow a lure's action but may at times improve upon a lure's speed fish find actionable. BTW, U and I could open a store with all the sh**...

Another 15 mph wind today and it held course with motor in reverse.

I saw this TM rudder attachment on Amazon and figured it might help in wind to hold course. It did well in a 15 mph constant wind and I didn't have to do much with the TM handle. It also did well in reverse.

Why would I? My 4 trolling motors, some 20 years old, work fine and I've never trashed any in the past. Either I gave them away or sold them for a song. None of my fishing buddies ever had one laying around that needed to be trashed and I don't have a clue where to find them. Needle in a hay...

Never seen one and don't expect to.

Will do - if it warms the **** up!

When the wind gets up to +15mph and I'm not turned into or away from the wind's direction, I'm constantly changing tm direction to compensate for wind and waves. Haven't tried this yet but wondering if anyone has: The rudder can be attached 4 different ways: as seen above or flat side up...

I use different trolling motors depending on the aluminum boat I choose and don't want to have to change transducer mounts from tm to tm or mount it permanently on a transom. So, I came up with this idea: I use non-slip tape on the clamp and bent bracket (Xmas wreath holder Al). Note: the...

I might get a pair for bed. Just got to keep the batteries charged.:) Already started wearing thermals day and night. (38 degrees last night)
