    I think I will end up cutting the floor out around the area and replacing the core with some sort of plywood or other sturdy material. I’m not crazy about the floor looking like a jigsaw puzzle but I think if I use some 3M white silicone sealant to seal it back in it won’t be too noticeable maybe.

    Sorry, not a bass fishing post but not getting any replies on other threads and since you guys use electric trolling motors the most, here it goes. If you could only have one trolling motor battery on your boat for under $300 what would it be? Looking to run my 55lb thrust minn kota at less than half speed for a few hours at a time but don’t want to spend $2000 on a battery. I would love some suggestions from guys that do it. Thanks in advance.

    I am going to replace all 3 batteries on my boat (1 starting, 1 house deep cycle, 1 trolling motor deep cycle) this spring and wondering what to get for my 55lb thrust minn kota that I would like to get around 4 hrs min. of trolling with. This would be my only battery dedicated to the motor and would like a good battery that won’t break the bank. Any recommendations?

    Thanks for the launch report. Hoping for decent weather to do a shakedown cruise next weekend.

    I was able to look underneath the floor through an access hole and it isn’t the stringers. The fiberglass has delaminated from the middle layer that is sandwiched between two layers of fiberglass. The soft area is about 1’x1’, do I have to cut the floor or can I fill it by injecting it with filler?

    Thank you I’ll try that. Last year I wrapped the rail with some electrical tape but the clamp just ended up shredding it

    I have Big Jon planer reels clamped onto the vertical rails of my center console and they constantly slip as I’m trying to reel the boards in. Is there something I can do to make the clamps more effective and keep them locked in place?

    Would you be willing to split them up for $200/ea? I’m looking for just one.

    I kept a ratchet tie down on my last one until I got to the launch since I trailer my boat everywhere. Definitely protects the transom and bracket that way.

    I have a 2’ diameter soft spot on the back deck of my Sea Ray Laguna and wondering what it would cost to have something like this taken care of. I believe the stringers are wood beneath but no access to get under there besides a 1’ access hole in the floor. If anyone knows who does this kind of body work, I would appreciate any info.

    Congrats, great deal. Just spent $70 on a new one

    Daaang I’m looking l or 2 for one of these, that went quick.

    Nice job! I know you did well last spring but I’m hoping for a better season this year for those brownies

    These are flies only, no hooks/leader correct?

    From my experience with boot foot waders, if you plan to wear them in cold weather get the next size up. Thick socks will cut off your circulation and your feet will freeze. I used to fish for steelhead through the winter and learned that lesson quick. If only wearing them in fair weather then disregard this message.

    Sherman I just told you yesterday I am buying these, why are you getting involved you aren’t even local?

    Addictive for sure. My house got hit with Covid so here I sit after that last outing and will likely have to put the boat up once I’m released. There were some massive bass around inhaling lures at night pushing 6+ and my friend caught one a couple nights ago that went 5-8 and didn’t look a big as the one I had landed last week. Ended up being a solid boat season and looking to still get a lot more casting in before ice. Snow is piling up on my deck as I am writing this.

    I watch the show quite a bit but nothing could compare to seeing a fish like that approach the side of the boat and then on the deck. Must have been surreal. I wish I could handle a trip like that but even after all my years on the water my stomach can’t handle those rough seas.
  19. greenhornet73
    Sound like the mixture is in the tank and the motor runs directly off that gas tank.
  20. greenhornet73
    Sometimes it takes a lot of casts and a little moving around but when you feel that ‘tap’ it’s all worth it.
  21. greenhornet73
    Very nice. I haven’t been able to manage more than a handful of walleyes jigging lately each time out and most have been short. The night casting has produced better quality fish for me. 2 nice ones from last night casting large sticks.

    I always used stabil marine without any issues but this summer had a mechanic tell me to only use k100 for overwintering, said it was the best.
  23. greenhornet73
    Great to know, makes sense. Back trolling or casting?
  24. greenhornet73
    Cool thanks. My brother-in-law tried yesterday with orange spoons with no luck and didn’t mark anything. Water temp was 53. Still hoping to give it a try before I put the boat away.

    Fall perch

    Does anyone know if the state launch on skaneateles is still open? If I remember correctly you can launch year round as long as the water level is good, correct? I’ll have a few chances to get out this week and thinking of trying for perch or maybe do some trolling.
