    I’d strongly advise investing into getting a speed and temp probe as someone mentioned in this thread. In my opinion, it is the single most important tool to have on your boat. There have been times I’ve nearly had to idle my kicker motor to obtain speed. Only to turn the opposite direction Thinking my probe was off and immediately turned back around as the current was so strong. Fish hawk doesn’t lie. Good luck.

  2. Awesome brown guys!! That’s a hog for sure!! Seems like better trout family fishing is more west of us. Might have to venture more west young man next year!! We did have a epic king fishing all year!! Which is definitely not the norm. Our eye fishing went to hell in a heartbeat but the kings stayed east for some reason, not a biologist, but Mother Nature makes the call.

  3. Maybe the hands getting blown off by the users will smart’n those dumbasses who think that a plastic gun is the way. Anyone that is gun having/owning their own guns knows that their own firearms aren’t plastic. Only those who want to obtain a illegal gun will have their hands blown off.

  4. I like trout mans torpedoes the best bang for your buck, they track excellent and you can get away with less weight to achieve the same results. Not saying the sharks but the round ball and the rubber coated fish and pancakes. Those styles but bikini bottom shark weight & shark weights and troutmans torpedoes are on the same plane just different prices for their own bling looks. I’m a no thrills guy that believes my presentation is what I want the fish to see so my choice is troutmans torpedoes. Plus I hang the torpedo from the tail loop to bounce bottom when fishing Lakers, works pretty sweet. I’m certainly not going to drag a $100.00 weight across the bottom of LakeO. LOL

    Pap I was at Cabelas in Hamburg Pa and the Depthmaster combos are all gone. The guy at the store told me he wasn't sure if they would come back with a new design or if they would be replaced with a bass pro item. Sad to see.

    OMG your kidding me right?? Well that doesn’t surprise me. That store sucks!! It’s only 45mins away and it never has anything!! To this day they still don’t have the Lowrance Hook2 units, they can drop ship them. I also got a letter in the mail about my points and credit card so all this is making some sense. Different charges are worth different amount of points, like my father in law used his card for fuel in his trucks at $5-600 a day per truck adds up quick in cabelas points. Now your purchases are not all worth 1% on the dollarLOL. There going to screw you every chance they can. I’m a guy if I don’t have the $cash I don’t buy it. But my fuel I buy on the card then when the bill comes my wife pays it that same day, that’s just the way she is!! My father in law has passed with $900.00 in cabelas points money they wouldn’t allow Rodney and I spend the money in the store so we got a check in the mail which has to be deposited?? They don’t want us to spend that money in their store, because it’s money generated by them, it’s like free money to spend but not in their store is what it seems. To me green is green so I don’t understand their thoughts. When I was in business I used to give out punch cards and your 10th punch you get a free unit up to $100.00 in value, I don’t see their train of thought??

  6. OMG those are Freaken Huge lakers!!! Not that the pike is anything to sneeze at!! LOL what a trip my ultimate goal in life is to catch a laker like what you are holding!! God bless my friend those are trophies!! You say your fishing there 3 years now, do you guys get into walleyes also!! Just curious?? How did you come about this place?? Thanks for sharing!!!

    I watch it as well. My point was he “took the bait” when it comes to saying Tyler is a crappy captain... he was calling him a “jackazz” and said he would have “throne”(assumed he meant thrown) him off of his own boat.

     

     

    Run your mouth there Mr.1 post!! Did you ever hear of auto correct, not the best way to show your first couple of posts. Then you wonder why nobody posts anything anymore, it’s because of you ignorant pricks like you who run their mouth before their brain is in gear!! I don’t give a shyt if they do bar me. It’s just $20.00 they’ll loose. To let you free bees run your chops. This younger gen. Is really something. I sure hope I’m dead before you knuckle heads take control of this country, you just can’t jump on you phone call out someone and hide behind your IPhone8. Real world don’t work that way Mr Bgk88!!!  I’m out!! I don’t need this aggravation first thing in the morning!!

  8. Why don’t you rebuild the one you have?? These people are nuts with their prices, just because it’s for a boat?? I just bought a complete short block off a guy on my way home from our last trip up to the lake. I thought I was just buying a block when I got there it was a complete short block for $200.00 mechanic said it smoked a little and the guy wanted a new one. I just bought it for a spare!! You can rebuild yours for a hell of a lot less than 3 grand!! That’s with new manifolds.

  9. Nice catch Justin!! Along with beautiful looking eyes!! This year on LakeO the walleye bite was next to nonexistent on LakeO, not saying there was no fish caught, but certainly wasn’t anything like the ice hunters had. Had a great year of fishing even had my daughters out and have been successful!! But those silver fish don’t bring the excitement and sense of accomplishment like a nice eye brings. Everyone has their own opinions, that’s just my own opinion.🤙🤙.

  10. How about in the boating world, I’m disabled to a point, my biggest frustration is loading the boat by myself, I can’t be in the boat and hooking it to the trailer at the same time!! I was thinking of a way I could guide the boat over to the trailer from the dock, once I back the trailer in. Maybe a rope type reel I could pull as I walk over to my trailer that I could then hook the cable winch to. Then have a coil spring put the rope back on the reel automatically even if it needed 12V. To operate?? Then I could go fishing by myself, if I can’t find someone to go that day. We have autopilots to drive us around the lake but yet we can’t load a cuddy type boat by ourselves?? Even if it cost a couple hundred $$$ we send thousands to drive us around the lake on our own but can’t load a boat by ourselves?? This would make you a millionaire in a quick jiff!!

  11. Fish in the opposite direction, we had these same issues also, the last time we were up fish offshore out of Henderson, we had our best hook ups were at 2.7-3.0 on the x4d. We just were at a idle to get those speeds but couldn’t control the boat due to wind and waves. So we ran to the opposite end of our troll and fished with with the current we were going 4.0 plus to get 2.5-2.7 and we did well, and then took notice that all the charter guys were doing the same thing. We were doing ok and not paying attention to the others, but once we decided to do this, that’s what the rest of the crew was doing, even though we were fishing outside of the pack.

They did some work for me and I was super pleased with their work!! Anyone who knows me knows I’m picky plus I paint my own lures, so if I send lures out to get painted they are definitely top notch guys!! These are some of the Flicker Minnows I had them do. I had 2 different sizes painted by Hooked!! As you can see top notch guys..PAP.

  13. I haven't come across anything in itroll agenda that makes it an "auto" pilot. Not saying there isn't. I'm not looking for a autopilot the areas I fish you don't need anymore than the chart plotter to get you home if fog or other reasons. If I come across anything like that ill tell ya. Look up itroll for python auto steer. It comes up something else and my ipad the girls ran dead, so I don't remember the name it comes up under. But itrol will come up under it'll. Hope this helps. So happy to hear you like your python!! Like you said no more hanging on like a monkey to hook up bars and unhook the steer rod then at the end of the day your arms are as big as Popeyes steering with no power steering. This is the best news I've heard this year!! THANKS PAP.
