So I tried out the 9.9 two stroke kicker that came with my boat out on the river for salmon, and I really don’t like it. Mostly because it runs too fast to really effectively troll as I have to keep it above idle just to stay running. And it’s loud, shakes the boat, and it’s a two stroke and I...

Had to sell off my Ouachita 1448 two and a half years ago when we were able to move to Washington. Since then, it’s been rough not having a boat (although the kayaks helped, but they aren’t the same). Well, yesterday we picked up this 16 foot welded Smokercraft Lodge. It came with a 40hp...

Talk about a brutal year. It was way too warm and dry, deer weren't moving, and we had to deal with trespassers for the third year in a row. Oh well, it was still a good time. Managed to walk 30 miles in 3 days and took the biggest buck we saw out there this year, which was my first ever non...

A little early, but the local gun shop finally got more GP100s in and I got in there in time to get mine. Can't wait to hit the range!

Thanks to a bunch of rain (80% of our annual precipitation already) and a cool spring the fishing here is pretty much shut off. Went out today so my wife could paddle board and caught a few couple small bass under 10 inches, a few small bluegill, and one crappie at 10 inches. Water looked like...

So I had been wanting to add a baitwell/livewell to my boat but didn't want something permanent. Basically something I could keep minnows alive in longer and keep the panfish alive until fishing was done. My wife picked me up a power bubbles aerator at cabelas which ran off 12 volt battery with...

Just curious as to what hook size and style you all use for fishing minnows for crappie. I've always just used whatever was floating around in the talks box I inheri but now I'm running out and should go buy the proper hooks I actually need. Thanks in advance.
