Man-o-man I better start getting some more OT - and another tackle bag.. https://www.bassmaster.com/slideshow/icast-2013-sneak-peek

Saw the on another forum, and realized it kept reminding me of thing I just NEED to have - and usually forget about until after I get back from the tackle shop. Could be anything, for any species - just interested to see what other fishermen/women are buying. For example: Today I picked up 6...

So I've got 200 bucks burning a hole in my pocket that's got to be spent by Christmas. I love my HDS-7 (even though it seems like now it's outdated #-o with all the new Lowrance units out), and wanted to pick up either a downscan or the LSS unit for it for side scan. So I've got a couple...

Mom asked me last weekend if I wanted some things out of the old storage unit as she was downsizing "crap" and wanted to know if it had a new home before it hit the can. I said sure and headed across the state to help clean everything out. There buried at the back of the unit was my Dad's old...

Man I want a bigger tin. I'm getting used to the looks when I head out from the launch into big water, but it would definitely be nice to not get wet in 2 footers or have to pick and chose the days because of high winds and rollers. I also don't like heading a few miles out unless it's calm...

After almost going for a swim while out trolling, I'm wondering if there's any way to add some kind of a "motor direction lock" to an older motor like mine. Usually I don't seem to have issues - but on Monday with the wind up and quite a bit of chop out I had an episode where I was reeling in a...

Hey gang - May have worked out a horse trade for a new motor, but of course it's half way across the state. I'd rather not drag the whole boat across just to make the exchange, so what's the best way to transport a small outboard without it being upright? Both vehicles I own don't have...

Was going to take the boat out today to the far side of the big lake, but as I started around the block I noticed an odd noise from the trailer. Swung back home, tossed the boat/trailer up on jackstands and spun the tires. One seemed okay, the other barely made a quarter turn. I'd been...

I know theres a couple of fixed installation nav lights out there that are LED, but does anyone make a PORTABLE style anchor/nav LED "flashlight" style? LED's are all the rage now, and you can find them dang near everywhere in flashlights. Makes sense to me - more output, increased battery...

Hey gang, I'm at a standstill. I've got the front deck made and carpeted, seat in and love it so far. I've been trying to figure out what to do with the rear. The battery's up front, so the only thing in the rear is the gas tank. I'd like to make use of some of the extra space, but due to...

Well, part of my goal this summer was to get better at baitcasting - so I'm looking to get a rod/reel. I already know which reel I want (looking at Lews or a Shimano), but I'm hung up on rods. I've noticed a lot of casting rods are becoming very technique specific (which confuses me even...

Well, couldn't stand it anymore - I hardly ever use the front of the my boat because the layout was so poor. It basically was a well for the anchor to bang around in and storage for the cooler. A lot of wasted fishing space up there... I decided to put a deck in, but because it's both narrow...

Trying to make do with what I've got, and I want to spend more time on big water with a little boat, so that means I need make sure everything's balanced better than what I've got right now (read, I'm stern heavy). I've figured out how I'm going to move my batteries forward, but I'm also...

Picked up some Scotty rod holders that I want to mount up for trolling on my 12'er. Hard part is deciding how to get them where I want them - I'm not interested in punching a lot of holes unless it's necessary (and due to the gunnel width, I'll need to fab up some stand offs to clear the rail)...

Might be a bit of a stretch on a bass-centric site, but what the heck. :lol: Anyone got any old trolling rods with line counters collecting dust now that you've discovered the joys of flipping and pitching? Ideally would like 8'6" Mediums, not picky on reels. Even better would be...

Hey gang, I'll admit it - I'm confused as all heck. I'd like to get a trolling motor for my boat, but I'm stuck trying to decide which I should go with. My boat is a 12' V, weights around 110# with NO MODS (I know, I know - don't kill me), so the only weight in it is me, the anchor, the gas...

I went out earlier, but it was more like a search mission with more stabbing with the spud than fishing. Tried to meet a couple buddy out on the big lake earlier in the day but got called in to work, so didn't make it out until the afternoon. Solid 6" of ice out, more than a few cars/trucks at...

I've got two different setups I'm working on so far - my 2 man popup rig and a run and gun style sled for afterwork outtings. As soon as I get my deer hunting gear put up, I'll be starting on the RnG setup (watch for a new post on sled mods shortly). What's everyone taking out with them...

After making sure that the rear of the boat is taken care of now, and stalled out on the trailer (I wanted to go fishing!) for the moment, I took a good look at the front of the boat. My boat doesn't have any kind of bow eye. The previous owners all did the same thing, which is to secure the...
