Fishing with my father this sunday down on the cape. I picked up this smallie on a topwater on my 5th cast of the morning. She is my new personal best smallie. 20.5"X14"

Took the boat out for the second time, this year, yesterday. Super windy afternoon. Ben and I picked up these 2 largies on our lead-free jigs we produced. These are the first 2 fish on our jigs. Way to start it off if I do say so myself. :beer: Both fish were in prespawn staging areas. Ben's...

I just started hunting last year, with no experience. I sat in the tree a lot last year and saw only one doe (didn't have a doe tag last year). Well yesterday afternoon was my time. I was in the tree less then one hour. It was an awesome experience. I first saw her at about 80 yards. She came in...

I got this in an email, I took time to upload the pics for you guys. :cheers This is not my relative. On November 6, a relative, Dona Viereck, called to tell us that she was driving to Canton , South Dakota and had seen a buck in the distance with his head down. It wasn't moving, and...

I had the day of all days on Friday, well afternoon. These 4 fish, along with a few other small fish, were all caught in about 3 hours. I was going crazy. 3 of them were caught in a span of 6 casts. All the fish were caught on a jig, with the exception of one on a stick worm. I apparently used...

I have been catching a good amount of large fish this year but so far this is my biggest fish of the year. Out from under a dock. On a jig. 23" long by 15.25" girth. Scale is broken, but my estimate would be 6lbs. Only other fish caught was a smallie that could have been this girls afternoon snack.

So yesterday I figured out the problem with my rear sonar. It would usually pick up the bottom on the graph but the depth number would never read correctly. Yesterday I determined that my front sonar and rear sonar are interfering with each other. The front one does not seem to have any negative...

Anyone know if the mercury 40 hp and 50 hp share the same lower unit? I found a 50hp on craigslist for a good deal with a frozen lower unit. My 40hp needs ignition work, it would be easier to swap lower units and be running.

Is there a way to tension the trolling motor steeling cable? I have a MinnKota Edge 40lb. I have it set so when the pedal is flat it is straight. Although on high speeds the motor will bounce left and right. Probably moving about 15-20 degrees without pedal movement. Everything else works fine...

I have an older 200DX on the front of my boat. When I installed it I noticed that the wires are pulling out of the connector at the unit side. It doesn't work because of this. The cable is like a small piece of coax, with an inner shielded wire inside the outer shielded wire. The connector is...

So this is GOING to be my ride next year. I picked it up a few weeks ago, It is defiantly a project. Its a 1988 Bass Tracker TX-17 Tournament. I think what makes this the tournament boat is the large livewell, longer front deck and tons of storage. The motor is a 70's Mercury 40hp, non-tilt and...

I went out fishing yesterday afternoon, skipped out of work early. I hooked a nice bass on the end of a long cast. She jumped right away and we saw how big she was. I just wanted her to stay hooked. Im glad she did and I was glad my buddy Rich was right there with the net. Anyway I noticed the...

picked up this boat a few weeks ago to replace my plastic pelican that has added some water weight and is very heavy. anyway I got it ready to fish yesterday. I want to get a 3gal tank to have more rear storage and wire it for front or rear battery, fish finder, and probably a switched...

I recently picked up a 1965 Merc 110 the grease on all the moving parts inside (throttle linkage, pull starter, etc.) has gummed up. To the point that the pull starter wont return. I have started taking it apart and cleaning the pieces but i do not know what type of grease i should use when i...
