    Good Day at Winter Trout Fishing!

    ....some nice and healthy looking Specks there! I noticed at around 2:45 or so there was a slick that popped up! Down here on the coast near Galveston this year I would hit the water on the days when it was as nasty as it could get and hammer them up in the Houston Ship channel. Found some last...

Good local site that caters to the Galveston area I found is FishWestBay. Met a bunch of those guys this past Saturday as they were cooking a...

    Ipad interface with Lowrance HDS Gen 2 units

    .....thanks for the heads up! Recently installed the HDS9 Touch with sidescan and if I am in the front of the boat it would come in handy to see what's going on without having to head back to the console.

    That's a cool way to burn-up an engine

    ....I want one of those! Would come in handy when the "Pot Lickers" get too close when I am wade fishing!!!

    Slow catching the last few days....I think I have a theory..

    ....You are dead on Rich! The bite on West Galveston Bay and down at San Luis Pass has been this past week turning on at night and on the outgoing tide early in the morning. Some friends have been stabbing the heck out of some nice flounder at night as they have been stacked up as well. I...

    What a dumba$$

    ...on another site that deals with local West Galveston Bay fishing there was a thread started today that deals with just such an issue. Down here since the water temps are already well into the mid 70's and the air is even warmer the skiers and boarders are already coming out of hiding! The...

    Transom Question

    ....everything depends on what kind of motor you are going to be running off of that transom. Personally I would keep it as is or beef it up depending on the HP you were going to install. Down here if it's rated for a 25hp motor that means it's good to go with a 35!

    everything steelflex

    ....SAY WHAT? Personally if the hull is in that shape I wouldn't consider it sea worthy under any circumstances no matter what you coated the bottom with!!

    Mariner 25hp long shaft for short shaft

    ...unless you are wanting to run that motor in some "skinny" water like we do down here on the coast I'd just leave it as is. Bulk up your transom so that it can take a beating! And if you are wanting to run in some shallow water you might consider a hydraulic jackplate so that you can raise...

    Fual Issues?

    ....since no one has mentioned it might I add that this darn Ethanol gas is the worst fuel to run through any system! Sorry to insult some of you that live up North and may be corn growers! Down here I can get non ethanol gas but if I have to get fuel that has it I make sure to add treatment to...

    Navigational Lights

    ....I use the LED nav lights that are battery powered and they put off more than enough light. On the flat bottom I use the clamp on type as you don't have to worry about any wiring issues that salt water can cause due to corrosion as well as they stay in the storage bin until I need them thus...

    LED lights, colors, bugs, etc

    ....I was going to ask if anyone on this board used LED lights and it looks like some of us do! For the interior of the boat i have three strips of cool blue installed if I need to see something. For night fishing for trout I have a waterproof green four foot strip made with the LED's that have...
