    Haven't been on in awhile.

    Seems like work is always keeping me away from here and when I do get a chance I am on the water. I do enjoy jumping on to see what everyone is up to, but the last year has been so busy I haven't had much time to post. Won my club season last year and I was very happy about that. Nice to go...

    My New Ride

    I put enough down so my payments are only 25% of my mortgage payment. I love this thing more every time I take it out.

    Need your help deciding....

    I'd say go for the better real because it will last you longer than the $60 in lures.

    My New Ride

    Thanks Laus, I smile every time I see it. I keep it in the garage out of the sun so no worries there. Those are talons not power poles. I went that way because for 2014 they go down 12ft now. Those black boxes on them are control boxes which tell you how far they are down and what mode you...

    You guys will think I am crazy.

    I posted a picture of it on the skeeter owners forum. It is pretty sweet in my opinion.

    former Pflueger fan

    I am happy with my Abu Garcia Revo reels. I have a few of them and they seem well built and I almost have to try to backlash them. I also have a couple Diawa SOL reels that have been flawless for me.

    As a currently serving veteran of the USAF/ANG for almost 25 years...

    You gotta be really excited that Obama pledged $7 billion to help create a better power grid in Africa recently. Apparently just our military is under the sequestration and not the ability to take out loans and give the money to other countries who can never pay it back. This jackass president...

    2 bank vs 3 bank onboard chargers?

    yes I believe you should have one bank for each battery in the boat. I have a 4 bank for my 4batteries. I run 2 batteries for my motor/electronics on a switch incase one dies during a tournament.

    Where can hatch lid gas shocks be purchased?

    Hey fishbone I know this is off topic but what top end are you seeing in your VLO? I seem to be way off.

    My best friend passed away this morning

    Sorry for your loss. I'd be crushed if I lost my little fishing buddy too. He's almost always with me in my boat.

    Expert opinion needed....

    Had same problem so took buddy out to the deep stuff. We pitched jiggs and wormsfor most of the afternoon. After I was up 23-2 he started to realize there might be other factors involved. I have hurt plenty of friends feelings from the back of their boats....hehehe.

    Caught a couple bass

    Was out on Pelican lake near Buffalo. Went out again today and still no Northerns. I really am trying to catch northerns because bass isn't open yet but they are nowhere to be found. Been casting a 1/2 oz terminator with white and chartreuse. Also using a steel leader and I still somehow...

    Caught a couple bass

    Hahaha Fishbone. I still need to work on adjusting the manual jackplate so I can get a little more speed. Bass opener isn't for a couple weeks yet Laus but those few decided to give us early photo ops. Too bad the boys in Northern MN still are battling ice on the lakes. It's been forever...
