    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...

    Indiana lake

    Fished one of the larger lakes in my state not too far from last thursday July 3. Normally would have rather hit a river for smallies but it was pretty muddy from a recent thunderstorm so I hit the lake on the 3rd before Fourth of July pleasure boater madness really picked up. Was on the water...

    some river kitties

    well this past weekend I headed out friday right after work to go camping on the local river with my wife, some friends, and their kids. I brought my bank poles along and figured if I was staying on the river over night I'd run some poles to put some catfish in the freezer. I put out 15 poles...

    finally got my pods on

    This has been a long time in the making, I had these pods made for me a while back. I made cardboard templates that I should have done a better job on, I dropped the templates off with Jason owner of uncle j boats in Louisiana last summer when I made a trip down there. Buddy of mine picked up...

    biggest indiana smallie yet

    Well I know my state has some bigger fish as I know of other avid smallie anglers I've fished with that have gotten some that went 20" and 21". But this fish was a surprise this past saturday for me. My biggest Indianan smallie to date has been one that was right at 18". I went on a float trip...

    sprinker frogs, toad runner, prop frog

    So with the hype of many of these new prop lures like whopper ploppers which I'll admit I have two of the smaller ones and like them other than not being weedless. Now a lot of variations have come out in weedless frog forms like the lunker hunt prop frog, teckel sprinker frog, now booyah...

    fish tacos

    so nothing crazy new here but first time I tried it with catfish. The lady looked up a recipe for fish fajitas tacos whatever you wanna call them. We've made fish tacos before, but I usually stuck with nice flaky fish like crappie, sauger, walleye, or even wipers which usually taste pretty good...

    motor guide wireless hand remote

    I've been moving homes/shops and I found this remote and old prop from when I had a motor guide wireless trolling motor. I don't need it anymore figured I'd offer it up here to someone who might get some use out of it rather than pitching it. It cost around 40 bucks new as far as I know it still...

    urethane obj intake

    check this out looks a lot better than my uhmw rockproof boats intake. Probably wouldn't slow a boat down any like the UHMW rockproof one but seems just as tough. Here is the meanchicken thread on it. https://meanchicken.net/webmain/forum/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=20844&p=171044#p171044 video...

    transom extension and trailer bunk redo

    So my boat was short shaft 16" transom, and it started with a 40 prop tiller I ran for few years. Then added a jack plate which helped with shallow water capabilities, but I really wanted a jet. Then almost two years ago I swapped to a 1993 60hp tiller short shaft prop mercury with intentions of...

    how do you do this?

    Just curious if anyone here has any ideas as to how this was done. I guess the larger mercury 75-90hp L3 powerheads will fit on the baby 50-60hp L3 midsections. Wonder what model outboard jet is on it. https://semo.craigslist.org/boa/5583055979.html

    60/40 stainless impeller

    So I have a 60/40 mercury on my boat I did the jet swap and the jet I found used came with the smaller 6 5/8" impeller that was meant for 50/35 engines. I've been running it the 6 5/8 since I had it and figured I'd run it till it was worn. I called outboard jets today and was ordering up the 6...
