Iv been out fishing plenty of times this year, both on my boat and shorefishing. I still havnt caught a bass off my boat. Today was the first day I actually pulled a bass up to my boat and saw it, but it got away. Its so frustrating that I need to vent here. All the boats around me usually are...

Where is a good place to order a fish measurment sticker fpr my boat?

I've been looking for a bow mount trolling motor, and have been coming across shafts that are I think 54 inches. Is that too long to deal with on a 1436? I did the measurements and all I think I need is a 36 inch

I was wondering if anyone orders their lures and what not online. If so, from where?

I was at a boat dealer today and I was looking at their mercury outboards. In the future I would really like to upgrade to a 20hp. My boat is rated to 15hp. I know the boat can handle even more because its in great shape. The price difference isnt too much. Would you go for 5 hp over the...

I have been fishing on and off for a while now, but just last year I got a little more serious about it. Its still all new to me. My reel say 8, 10, and 12 test and the rod is something similar, its a 6' medium spinning. Is it ok to use 15 or 20 lb test or do your guys stick to what the rod and...

Im looking to buy a bow mount, foot controlled motor. I am interested in the edge. Does anyone know how long the cables are for the foot control? Will it reach if I sat on the middle bench of my 1436, or does in have to be on the deck the motor is mounted to?

So I have taken my boat out a few times so far. The problem I am having i to load the boat back up. What happens is after I drive my boat onto the trailer, I climb to the front to hook on the bow and crank it up. As my weight shifts forward after I climb over the middle bench the boat slides...

My 1436 came with an anchor line holder in the front. I just bought the line and a 10 lbs mushroom anchor. When I'm on the water and not using the anchor, is it meant to freely hang in the front of my boat, or do you normally put it back inside the boat? Also, do you completely remove the anchor...

Whats the difference between the 2? I was at Menards today and I was about to buy a deep cycle battery. I think they are called Exide? Anyways, they were all dated Oct 2011. Is that too old? Should i wait until the new ones come in? Do you guys think a 27 size is too heavy to keep in the back of...

Hey just like to start a thread of boats on the water pictures. I'd like to see how they sit with mods and what not. I'd put mine up but it's not ready yet. Thanks

Hey everybody, I was by my boat today and noticed that the previous owner did have seats installed. It was hard to tell but the sun was shining just right so I noticed the creases in the carpet and found screw/bolt holes. The holes go all the way through the plywood and the aluminum. I have a...

I was at batteries plus and sears today to see how much their deep cycle batteries cost. Does anyone have any experience with these batteries? What battery do you guys recommend for a 30lbs trolling motor and a fish finder on a 14ft jon. I see they range from around $70 to $250. Are the cheap...

Im planning on buying a battery soon. I'm going to keep it in the back of my Jon boat because i have a transom mount trolling motor. Are battery boxes necessary? I sea that some boxes come with mounting hardware. How do most people install/mount a battery so it doesn't bounce around when...

I was just wondering How big of a gas tank I should get for my 1436 with Yamaha 8hp. How big is your boat/gas tank?

Does anyone use this fish finder, I'm thinking about buying one for my Jon boat. I'm confused on how people power these things, is there an internal battery or do you have to run wires to a separate battery? I don't know anything about electronics, I guess this is a good opportunity to learn...

Hey everyone, I was looking at my boat and noticed that the previous owner had a fish finder installed because of holes on the back of my boat. The problem is, is that since there are already drilled holes, i would like a transducer to fit the same pattern so i dont have to drill any new holes...

Does anyone know what those holes are on the bottom right corner. I just noticed them in this picture. I don't park the boat by my house so I cant just go out and look at it. You think something was mounted there? I dont know much about boating electronics. I hope that they are plugged because I...

I go to costa rica frequently because I know people who live there. I was there this past week and saw that the property is near many rivers. Now my mind is set to go fish out there, but I don't even know how or what kind of fish are in there. This is in the middle of the country not near any...

I plan on taking my boat out on a river if the launch isnt frozen sometime soon. If I do it will be my first time and more than likely be by myself. Im not worried about launching it, but does anyone have any tips on how to load it without getting wet. Should I buy some guide bunks first?
