There was LOTS of talk about cheap Amazon batteries. I made a general statement. I never directed any questions at you. Gone fishing for the rest of the day.

Nowhere in my post did I call you out, undermine any of your choices, and imply that I make better decisions than you. Nor did I even quote you. Calm down your tone. If you think I'm going to have any desire or care to follow your particular battery story so that I can say "I told you so" if...

My experience with this would tell me to answer your question "yes". Your motor manufacturer is producing their recommendation based off of "safe" assumptions regarding typical lead batteries, where your amperage is quickly depleted. A 50ah LiFEPO4 battery should power a 12V TM all day for at...

I dove deep into reviews and independent tests for this new rage for LiPo batteries. And last spring I order two 50ah deep cycles from LithiumHub. They run my 24v Motorguide Tour Pro, and the Garmin at my bow is connected into one of them as well. All of the "better safe than sorry" types were...

That garbage doesn't have to be watched as there are radio program and podcast hosts who find these clips as part of their jobs and they share them with us for comedic relief.

That is the first Daily Mail posting I believe I have ever read. I don't arm myself with "facts" from any particular sources. Video and quotes, WHEN YOU SEEK OUT THE CONTEXT are what are indisputable. I don't care either way about this story as I am already aware of the ignorance propagated on...

Citation to real data would include video evidence and direct quotes, which are used to report what happened here. To put your fingers in your ears and cover your eyes to an exchange regarding a subject that factually happened just because you don't like the outlet that it came from is ***inine...

Often times there's an extreme shortage (usually non-existent) of outlets that will report on certain instances. Here we have a story that you likely would not have been able to read about without the report from DM. The biases are in the bias which is generally blatantly obvious to spot no...

Nobody seems to want to invest in the dollar - that would be, keeping your money in the bank. Yet, just like the printed dollar, crypto is worth squat and has no tangible value. But people think it's worth investing in?

You camp in awesome looking locations! I'll drop an anchor several boat-lengths from the shoreline and tie off my bow. Then pull the stern to within a boat length of the shoreline and tie it off to a tree or another permanent anchor. I make sure that worst-case scenario is the anchor moves and...

$50k after all is said and done for an 18 foot boat is ridiculous! If buying a brand new boat and paying that much, shop around until you find the one that has everything exactly how you want it. You shouldn't be sacrificing any of your desires, even if it costs a bit more to include the...

I have a bluetooth speaker with pretty good sound that I'll take with on the pontoon boat when family wants to go swimming -it's an older pontoon with no built-in. There is zero reason there should be a speaker or a stereo in a fishing boat or in any boat that's near me when I'm fishing. Anytime...

Interesting thread revival. Now all the discussions are about LiPo batteries. I absolutely love my pair of Ionic 60ah batteries. They weigh nothing in the front of the boat and run my 24v troller all day including in GPS anchor mode for many hours at a time and still get back to shore with over...

The fish will hit it on the drop. If they don't, no use in leaving it sit there as the bait will slowly sink to the bottom once the sinker is on the bottom. I was fishing this way on Tuesday and really wish I had some sinkers with me that were even lighter. I will replace the 1/8oz with a tiny...

Licenses, registrations - anything DNR related is managed on my gowild account in Wisconsin. Click the link to view any license or registration that I need, and I take a screenshot of it with my phone. It can be presented as a "paper copy" anywhere and anytime it is needed. I also have papers in...

With electric-only lakes being prevalent in Wisconsin, I've found they are usually some of the best fishing lakes. Many times they are completely surrounded by private land, and while you need to put effort into accessing them from other bodies of water such as streams and creeks, they are...

If you've not tried the "Gulp" bait, that's the best alternative to worms that I've found. Crappies love the Gulp minnows. They also like Berkley Power Bait. Crappie nibbles are what I use for ice fishing. I stopped using live bait years ago. I'll give you a tip for bluegills and crappies: if...

Not since ice. No boat right now other than a long skinny plastic one. That would be ideal actually, just no time to go.

They tend to leave us alone when they see that we have what's called a "Conservation Patron's License" in Wisconsin. I've been buying this every year on April 1st for many years now. A patron's license groups every fishing license and stamp with every hunting season, hunting tag, and weapon type...

Been a lithium battery student of the internet for a couple of months now and finally ordered a pair of Ionic 50ah for my 24 volt motor. I have not seen a bad review or report about this brand no matter how much snooping I did to find one. They're more expensive than Amazon ones, but are a...
