So you think .45 would be overkill?

I had this issue a couple days ago cleaning a bass. The thing just would not die! It was in the boat for 2 hours, I got home and beat it on the head several times with a wood oar. Then while I was scaling it, it started moving again... Put a knife through the head right behind the eye. Still...

Thanks for all of the advice, I re spooled with some 12lb flouro I had laying around and got to practice in my yard a little today. It was definitely casting better than the braid and no line digging issues, so I was happy with that. I'll just keep on practicing for now and hopefully keep...

Thanks, that's pretty much what I figured. I was doing decent with the 12lb flouro, but I'll try some mono instead. I got down to pretty reliable casting a texas rigged Senko with a 1/4oz bullet weight, then once I switched reels and went braided I went to a wacky rigged drop shot with a 1/16 oz...

Now that I got my boat and I'm going out on the water a lot lately and I've always used spinning rods/reels but it seems that every pro uses almost exclusively baitcasting set ups. I bought a rod and reel last year and never completely got used to it, especially the right hand retreive and then...

So, after thinking a lot more... yes, it hurts. I think I'm going to delete the live well and put in a rod storage box as well as just find a 55-70lb trolling motor and ditch the outboard. It's a small boat, I need to remember that I can't fit everything I want in it! Also, price is...

I actually just remembered that my favorite fishing area is electric only, so I may not even go with an outboard. I suppose I could use it in the local river, and a couple different local lakes, but the reservoir I normally fish in is pretty consistent with good sized fish and only about 10...

Honestly, I think I'll be OK on the weight. I'm planning on using aluminum angle and 1/2" plywood for the floor/decking. Although I think I'm just going to use a hand controlled trolling motor on the front instead of a bow mount to save space. Also, where I fish is very calm, small waters. I...

So I've been lurking around here for a few weeks and finally picked up my first boat. It's a little 1971 12' V hull, not sure of the manufacturer. It definitely can use a few things, but I've already taken it out a few times on some local water and it does great. I spent around 8 hours out on...
