Foothills Marine in Morganton

Wish HR wasn't an hour away. On a week night that's a little tough to swing with alarm going off at 4:30 for work. Happy to see you and Clayton doing this though! I wish ya'll the best on this!

Thanks!

I can see the need for 5 units. I've got 6 in my boat...one never gets used. Flush mounted 5". That said....

They can be a little warm until you work up a sweat, but I wear the 50SPF sun hoodies... and/or a big brimmed hat. Been there and done that way too much.

LOL In your defense, some of what I did was brushpiles in the same area. some up at 10ft, some out at 18ft, another down at 24ft, just moving with the trolling motor to a cluster of 2-5 in the same...

Doug this thread made me curious, so I checked. By my best figures, I checked, to some degree, 34 brush piles, and ran over 42 miles, in the Trooper tourny the other week. I think that's a new record...

I've got a Pro XS Optimax. I run Quikleen all the time, and if I think the boat won't see use, I'll use Quickare, or whatever stabilizer of choice. I've usually wrong non-ethanol, but recently went...

Havent been there since March, but there's no better way to know than to go. They're usually biting somewhere on any given water body.

Leaves are back on the trees. Will likely start my covert operations again soon.

You mean a potato rake?

Soft. I've played with harder lead and at times, it won't fill out the molds correctly. FatGuys Fishing molds...not do-it.

Have seen color, size, profile, etc matter with blackfish, especially clear water, but with whites, they'll bite dang near anything they see I think. Not talking about upper end, older year-class...

I use "budget brand" lithiums and they work fine for me. Zero issues.

VMC 9147BZ Cheap, stupid sharp, and haven't had any major QC issues. Maybe 5 hooks per 1000 may have a defect.

Before we can answer, we need to see photos of said fish. That said, I think I can count on one hand the number of crappie mounts Ive seen, that look worth having. Good luck!

Action is probably the most over-rated thing in jigs. Go with it and let us know how that goes.

Usually a solid company. A couple things come to mind, their nets have been sold out for a while. Not sure when they came back in stock but there may have been a rush on them when they did. Secondly,...

I used a drop of hair clipper oil on my Renzetti Traveler. it got hard to spin. One drop of oil and it's as smooth as ever

I fish some ugly jigs at times, but as a jig tier, my mantra is life is too short to fish an ugly jig :biggrin....not counting the beginning stages of learning to tie your own stuff, thats different....

When people buy from me without a reference photo, I tell them give me a head/body/tail color. Some colors I have MULTIPLE shades of, and I'll narrow it down a bit from there.

I can't believe people are even allowed to use fiberglass and aluminum boats! They even have folks using electric trolling motors!

It's fishable. Just curious, why the worry over it being muddy? I've fished it when you could've planted corn in it, and still caught fish. I prefer muddy, 4" visibility at most.

Those look familiar :biggrin

Give Tyler's podcasts a listen. Already been a couple hammer guests, and some more to come!

I've got bargain brand batteries in my boat. Redodo Power "Justin5" will get you 5% off. I've also got another bargain brand. No real reason to go with a "premium brand" other than saying "I only run...

Ive got perfectly good Striker Predator bibs and jacket, only used two seasons, but considering buying another just because of the price. Afraid the moths might end up eating it before I need to.

Doug, get the long rod out, and fish those fish vertically.
