  1. Awesome job. Looks like you need some new bearings on your trailer. If you don`t have a trailer supply place in your area then check at tractor supply. They sell parts and complete hubs
  2. Took the kids out today. We didn't get there till 8:30 and the inside water was full of boats so we decided to try for a king a bit deeper. Ended up getting some kings and browns in 24 to 32 fow. Spoons were what they wanted today off divers,riggers and a five color. We marked more than a few pods of bait. The kids had a blast
  3. No need for a twilli or roller tip for braid
  4. They are opening. I just read it on the d&c website
  5. 300' is a must have. It will catch all season. 400' is good in summer when the thermocline gets pushed deep and 200' is good for spring and fall. With that being said I have been successful running anywhere from 100' to 600' all season depending on conditions. If I had to pick just two it would be 300' and 200' and then a 400` as soon as possible
  6. Run a buss bar or a fuse box from your battery switch and hook everything up to that. Then when you turn your battery switch off everything will be off. Run your bilge pump float switch directly to the battery so it is always hot
  7. I have a go series hooked to a tm 150. It is a good ducer that gives clear sonar readings. It doesn't have a really wide cone angle and that is the reason a lot of guys don't run them for trolling. I have always liked it and do well with it. If you go on the airmar website you can look at the cone angles for their different transducers.
  8. Nice. Were you out yesterday? I didn't see your boat but we went east away from everyone and found our own fish
  9. Awesome. How was the boat traffic yesterday off braddocks? A ton of boats off sandy yesterday
  10. Sorry yes he is correct. The ti can't run the autopilot. I have a simrad go unit also and I like that one too. The only thing I don't like about them is you can't link 2 units together to share sonar
  11. I have only played with live units on display but I own 2 of the ti2`s and I love them. The new active imaging transducer is really nice and is light years ahead of the total scan ducer it replaced
  12. I will buy the 2 6" tracks if you want to sell them separately
  13. I prefer atomik copper. It only comes in 45 pd. I have only bought 32 one time and the first time I used it the current took it and tangled. It was a crazy current that day. I have had that happen with 45 pound too. I think it dive curve charts are a little off
  14. You can't go wrong with a 300-45 pound copper. It will produce most of the year. Minimum 50 pound braid backing on a inline. Other one I would either go with a shorter copper/weighted steel or a five color
  15. Is it brand new? If so you should call the dealer and ask how they rigged it. There are different on board battery chargers that do different things. Most likely you have to charge the batteries
  16. If you're looking for a high end reel that has plenty of room for 400' plus of copper then check out the penn fathom 2 in the 50 size. I have 2 of them and they are flawless out of the box. The Penn squall is a cheaper option and is good too. Both are way better than the okuma cold water high speed wire reels. I also have 2 of those
  17. It was on a bigger bass boat. 20 or 21 ft. I never even asked the guy about the shaft length but he did say he loved everything about the motor
  18. I was given a short demo on a boat with the garmin last fall. It is whisper quiet and very powerful. Garmin and the lowrance are definitely the future of trolling motors and minn kota needs to play catch up in my opinion. The only thing is the shaft length seems too short. We were in a calm bay and the length wasn't a problem but I could see it being too short in a chop
  19. Haha. Did you just get a new life insurance policy
  20. Location.? Do these fit the newer big bodied riggers?
  21. From my experience I say spend some money on a good pair of bibs that will last you.i have had a few pairs of cheaper bibs and they don't last more than 1 season. I had a pair of sims that were great and would have lasted a long time but they came up missing. On black Friday I bought some from west marine and I like them so far. True timber has some out now that are $99 but I wasn't sure about them. Has anyone tried them?
