  1. WANTED : bombers - 3 1/2" floaters any color - shallow divers Looking for 3 1/2" bombers, any color or condition as long as they still float! looking to custom paint some for spring. Thank You
  2. Two of those trolling rods are medium light ? And in good shape ?
  3. Great advise for us newbie's! Thanks!
  4. Did decent out of the oak in March, but got skunked on Saturday. Word is it has been good west of johnsons creek.
  5. I drilled 3/4" holes about 1" apart in the bottom then a row about 3" from the bottom about 3" apart. It gets me 1-1.3 mph slower . Hope this helps. It's very easy to pull in too. Tie ropes as handles the metal handles won't last
  6. I have a 17.5' crestliner with a 115 hp e- tec. I made a 5 gal pale drift anchor for each side, it cost me $10 and got me from 2.8 down to 1.8. They stay out of the way attached to the front cleats... Works great. His other option would be a different pitched prop but then he would loose top end.
  7. B&E tackle has a good selection of bay rats
  8. Its a decent event , but mostly geared toward warm water fishing. I went last year and probably spent 1/2 hr walking around. I'm guessing 30-40 tables maybe someone could help out with how many vendors are signed up this year. I live 10 min away so its a no brainer, A long drive I'm not so sure, but with it being a cold day and not much else going on it would be a toss up.
  9. I've been out three times in march with no issues . As said before vertical draining and turning the motor over a couple times after coming out of the water turning the water pump and pushes out any water left in the system . This prevents the water discharge opening from freezing for your next trip.
  10. Are these the ratchet style or the cam lock style? Thanks Jeff
  11. Very interesting info! Thank you for the responses it seems like anything else , you have your favorites and see what works from year to year. I'm trying to update our equipment since getting back into the big O game after being off of it for years . I'd like to add to our lure collection every year and this greatly helps !! Thanks again
  12. I bet stingers will be a common choice! Does anyone run evil eyes/ red eyes anymore? I went through a old box of my dads trolling spoons last night and there were tons of them and n/ k's . Old school or still useful ?
  13. If you could only carry $100 worth of spoons from spring - august what would they be ?
  14. Where are you located ? I may be interested in 1. Thanks Jeff
  15. All set ..... Thanks Irish rover charters !
  16. Thanks for the help guys ! Pm sent for pics.
  17. I'll take lot #3, the first pic. Pm sent
  18. I'm looking for a base that slides in the bottom of an older style cannon hand crank rigger with a threaded center hole. I'm having trouble finding a standard one it seems that most are the larger size for the electrics, or don't have the threaded hole for the anchor nut. Thank you Jeff
  19. Would this fit a berts track system ?
  20. Went again this morning, water is very cold.... 35.5-37.5 only went 2/2 both small browns. A few other boats out including a couple charters , hopefully they did better than us. Only talked to one other boat and they went 0/0. Dec was out and checked us at the launch , life jackets and license's were his concerns. Very nice officer, couldn't have been more professional and polite! Good luck all!
  21. Are the swivel track bases still available ? I'd be interested in one at least.
  22. I've read a lot on here about colored water and finding pockets of warmer water, and this leads me to my question. Can you find colored water and warmer pockets away from river and creek mouths? Randomly along the shore? Has anyone found pockets of fish in the spring in an area that really doesn't make sense as far as color and temp? I'm thinking that once the lake gets more crowed it would be nice to troll east or west to get away from the crowds but is this wasting my time if I'm not near a trib mouth? Are there certain shoreline features that might indicate one spot being better than others like a small point with shallower water that might warm quicker or anything like that. I appreciate any feed back! Sorry for the barrage of questions but i'd like to distance myself from the popular spots and still catch fish!! Thanks Again Jeff
  23. Point breeze by the black north . No docks but our 17.5 crestliner went in and out easy with low boots
