    Tackle boxes vs. soft-sided bags?

    I bought a tackle bag off amazon. I debated that plano bag you bought, but I couldn't stomach the price seems like after 2-3 years no matter the bag the zippers fail especially if they see any salt use. Which I do occasionally make a salt trip. I like bags that fit the 3700 sized planos or...

    Yamaha 40/30 4 stroke?'s

    I wouldn't advise a 40/30 and 1652 for four guys, two guys it's fine, but if you go out with four with any regularity you will be disappointed. Honestly if you want to go with four guys sometimes and by yourself at times an 1852 and 60/40 is a good combo. Not too big to handle on your own, will...

    only two batteries for 24v troller and starting

    coosa I have a very similar issue as you in regards to room for a third battery, and I feel pretty much the same in that things will be fine if I do what I'm planning on. I'm like you after each outing batteries would be on a charger so each would get charged up fully after I get home from an...

    Limit of Rainbows

    some nice trout there, ever get any bass with any size? Just curious I know some of those cali reservoirs have some big bass since they never get as cold as most midwest lakes. Rapala knives work, but I now prefer dexter russel knives hold their edge longer than rapala. Plus most dexter knives...

    Tracker topper 1542 with jet

    agreed transom just needs to be tall enough so the front of the jet intake is level with the bottom or the hull

    7" fish finder recomendations?

    maybe the g3's are different but on my g2 I hate how you scroll between the different screens/functions you have to keep hitting the button and scroll through every screen to get to the one you want. The Garmin you had a menu and just picked which screen/function you wanted to view you didn't...

    7" fish finder recomendations?

    Yeah I realized that after I had it on said the hell with it. I've since put it on we will see if it helps much I'm skeptical. The garmin came with a better mount for the screen, the ducer was a better shape, and the mount I think was better. If it wasn't for the fact that I want to be able to...

    7" fish finder recomendations?

    I just recently got and installed a helix 7si G2N the SI is nice wish it was little more clear like the newer ones but I got the unit on clearance from scheels for just under 400 to my door was hard to beat. Guys were asking that out of used units. I'm still getting the hang of it as I've only...

    only two batteries for 24v troller and starting

    I'm not 100% certain but my understanding is the outboard would charge the battery it's hook to. The second battery would slowly pull from the one charging until both batteries are balanced. Hence if I do a setup like this I would have to do what I do now anyways and hook a charger to the...

    30 mercury jet on a sea ark 16/52

    I prefer tiller handle lot quicker steering to maneuver better you'll get use to it and never want a steering wheel. I'd go at least 60/40 on the hull your talking about. 30hp will be a dog on that boat.

    Running a side channel

    The guys ragging on not slowing down I promise are guys that haven't ran a jet in shallow rivers. I know exactly the situation. If I'm in deep enough water to come off plane without sucking gravel or sand I will come off plane soon enough to not wake them out and pass by at slow speed so I don't...

    2020 mercury 40hp jet

    This is also possible pictures would help determine this pics of the side showing where the intake shoe sits relative to the bottom of the boat. 1752-1852 is very common in MO with a 60/40 due to 40hp restrictions on some rivers. Tons of blazers, alweld, and weldbuilts sold in that size with a...

    2020 mercury 40hp jet

    Yeah 25hp jets seem to work well on the new rafts coming in from russia designed for small jets, and it can work on a 1448 but you won't be able to carry much weight. Only guys I've ever known to run 25hp jets are guys on eleven point river in mo and upper current river where they have a hp...

    Corona Virus

    yeah I'm really worried about how bad things may get economically after the gov't finally decides to quit the handouts. What I find interesting about covid is that in healthy people some are really affected by it get a terrible fever, can't hardly do anything, and some do have to go to the...

    only two batteries for 24v troller and starting

    That's what I'm trying to figure out and that's what that trollbridge does. And to the other points I already have heavy gauge wires running from my one single starting/trolling battery in the back. Right now I'm running a 12v powerdrive and I use one group 27 deep cycle for my trolling...

    Indiana lake

    Very closely related to white bass but have more of yellow tint on their belly and don't get as big as white bass. They eat pretty well about cleaning and eating a bunch of crappie. They are indeed a different species than white bass. There are some little hybrids mixed in with the yellow bass I...

    only two batteries for 24v troller and starting

    So I swear I've seen the question on here before but can't seem to find the thread. I've got a 24v terrova I want to upgrade to from my 12v powerdrive. Currently I run one battery it's my starting battery, runs the trolling motor, and my electronics. It's never been an issue for me, it's always...

    Corona Virus

    I agree I'm glad to have my job, wasn't gripping about having a job. My gripe is that by not working many people have been making more. I know that isn't the case for everyone on unemployment but it is for many.

    Indiana lake

    I just trolled a deep running crank one a larger deeper running one really meant for bass suppose to run 20ft deep. It will run deeper trolled behind the boat a long ways, the other was little flat sided deep running crank bait. I think it was a yozuri deep diver I like the yozuri deep divers...

    Indiana lake

    during hot summer weekends it's pretty nice till about 9-10am about that time all the pleasure boaters, tubers, skiers, jet skis start to come out and cover the place. It's not a huge lake it can get choppy in good wind, but when it's real choppy it's usually cause of sheer boat traffic.
