  1. all it takes is one and you are hooked!!!adk1 if you are gona try again this year i would highly recommend a fish hawk down temp unit and a gps.i feel these two electronics are critical to finding and catching fish in mexico bay area.seeing is how there isnt much structure to fish,the temperature is your structure so to speak and if you dont have down temp to find temperature and a gps to mark where you mark bait and/or fish you are kinda fishing blind.in early summer until the kings move in,i target lakers and browns.once the lake sets up,for lakers you need to find cold water on the bottom and for the browns,where the thermocline intersects the bottom.dont need anything special as far as gps,i have an old lowrance black and white that works just fine for me.i bought my fishhawk from bass pro,once in a while they have a special six month pay plan,which lets you pay it off over six months,a little easier to swallow than paying for it all in one shot.also,if you ever want to go and dont feel like towing your boat,let me know,we can go out on my boat,maybe even car pool,you probably go right past my house on your way.let me know

  2. this was my second year fishing lake o,mexico bay area,so i dont have alot to compare,but from what i have heard from alot of guys is that 2013 was a tough year,and compared to 2012 it was bad.personally,i feel i did well considering the conditions this past year,i do have to say,that there were quality fish around.i didnt have big number days,but fish were big.i caught very few fish under 20 and had several pushing 30,but couldnt break it.bait seemed to be plentiful,i had days where the screen was just lit up and i even snagged 2 alwives with spoons trolling and they were almost six inches long!!!either way i learned alot from some great fisherman and i cant wait for this season

  3. i have a 92 24 ft wellcrft fisherman walkaround.big cabin with sink,stove,and head.boat is in great shape,just needs to be cleaned up.it is set up for a yamaha outboard.if this is something you might be interested in,call me,i would love to get rid of it.315-357-4337.

  4. i have a brand new,never used bass pro weather safe travel  tite boat cover.bass pro part # tvt-d-sd.it fits 17-19 foot,102" wide  bass boats,fish and ski,runabouts and tri-hulls.it lists for $220.ill sell for $125 shipped.call 315-357-4337.

  5. i took this off my boat at the end of this season,looking to upgrade for next season.i have had this f/f for three seasons and it works great.come with transducer with surface temp. sensor,surface speed wheel,mounting bracket,and user manual.unit is in perfect working order.if you need pics. or specifics on this unit call me or google it.company that bought eagle is navico marine.$150.00 shipped.315-357-4337.

  6. i checked all the companies i know of and they were all the same as what you have found.im looking for a couple to try for next season,im gona wait and see over the winter if i can find a good deal on them,if not,some places offer no tax and or free shipping,thats about the best you can do.good luck.the other thing you can do is order from bass pro,they have an offer that you  can pay,interest free over 6 months,makes it easier to swallow,thats what i did when i bought my fish hawk,bought it this time of year and was paid for come next season.

  7. seeing is how there hasnt been many posts lately and im already craving spring and getting back on the lake,i thought id throw this out there.im looking for advice on running dipseys and copper off the boards.to start off,this past season was my second on the lake and my first playing with copper.i ran a 5 rod spread,two riggers,two dipseys and a copper down the chute,worked well,not many tangles and by the end of the season i was very comfortable and cofident running the 5 rod spread.id like to try to run two coppers off the boards this coming season and leave the chute open.a few questions i have are,which to send out first,how far out the boards need to be as to not tangle with dipseys, and what setting to run the dipseys at,again,to help keep them away from coppers.thiking about this set up,i find it hard to figure out how to keep the dipseys and copper from tangling.any advice would be greatly appreciated,thanks in advance.
