I troll South Sauty creek channel on the river side of the
causeway using a Hobie pedal kayak. Two 6' Ugly Sticks in
cheap plastic rod holders, cheap Okuma counter reels,
60 lb braided line,...

When I re-packed my bearings a couple months back, the
hardest part of the job was knocking in the new Bearing
Buddies. It takes patience and feel, not brute force.

It's really hard to start the...

Thanks. I've got everything and the trailer's home.
Now I just have to restore it.

I was referred to P & T Trailer Sales, Inc. on Hwy 53.
I researched the owner Paul Pencola and discovered
he...

Thanks. The CE Smith seals fit perfect. Stinks that I
had to buy two kits just to get two seals. At least now
I have some cheap bearings and races for backups.

Anyway, I got the boat home okay...

Okay, I got two CE Smith bearing kits at Academy. The seals
mic to the correct dims, so I think I'm good. But I drove down
to BDI anyway a spoke to Darrell who was super helpful.
Unfortunately,...

Thanks! That'll be my first stop then. For anyone who
cares, here's the full info on BDI. I'll report back on
the results...

Thanks! I didn't even think about Academy. I've got one near
by house in Madison on Hwy 72. I'll go there this afternoon.
If they're out, then I'll hit the local auto parts stores.

I got a spare...

Cabelas had Bearing Buddies, tie down straps, and that's about
it. The web site is totally wrong about what's in stock at the
local store. The selection of crappie jigs was disappointing too,...

Forgot about the bearing grease. I got two tubes of Amsoil
Synthetic Water Resistant Grease from Johnson Foreign Auto
on Putnam Drive. I can't find reviews from boat hobbyists,
but the specs on...

Thank Scout! I've never heard of Backwoods Landing, so I'm
very thankful you posted. I'll give them a call and see what
tires and bearing seals they have before I buy elsewhere.

I'm headed to...

That's a green carp. Trash fish.

I installed new wires and LED lights on the trailer this weekend.
The trailer was made by Ezy-ryder (aka Gene's Marine) in
Clanton AL back in 1986. I think old Eugene Cleckler is retired,
so my...

Thanks. My big hurdle right now is a lack of a part number.
The trailer is an Ezy Ryder made in 1986. I got the VIN and
model today and will try to contact the original maker for
help. I think...

Can anyone recommend the best boat part supply in
Huntsville / Decatur? No mail/web catalogs please.

I'm looking for...

1) Hub grease seals (double-lip preferred).

2) Synthetic water proof...

> However, I think I'm going to try to add two 12' B&M trolling rods, too.

Sounds do-able. My advice? Reserve 3+ rods for slow
fishing and spider-rigs. You'll understand once you troll
cranks...

I troll cranks in South Sauty from a Hobie ProAngler.
I've caught a bunch of 2+ pounders in that area.
There are lots of fish there, but there are also lots
of *really* obnoxious boaters.

I...

Water was 58 today, but no spawn yet. All my catch on
The G and Wheeler have been paler than pale. So have
the photos I've seen posted from others in the area.

I caught a couple slabs trolling...

Yes, the reasons why mods cannot be added to user ignore lists
are obvious. That's not what I was trying to learn. I was trying
to determine if either your and EB's lack of mod status was a ...

Yeah, I get that. That's the purpose of the "Ignore" list. It's a convenient way
for me to not read specific people's posts. It's a really nice forum tool that
most people don't know about.
...

So you are also a mod/admin? Why does the mod/admin designation not
appear on the "BackToCrappie" or "Eager Beaver" accounts? If neither you
nor "Eager Beaver" are mods, why does the forum software...

I am relatively new here, but I regret that it's a waste of time to argue
with leftists. I used to enjoy such online debates, but things changed
during the Clinton impeachment trial and worsened...

Forum moderators and admins should refrain from making
inflammatory posts. For that matter, they should refrain
from participating in purely political threads like this one.

In your capacity...

That was the unluckiest fish in the lake that day.

And THAT is why I carry a pistol loaded with birdshot.

"My name is Inigo Montoya. You bit my crappie.
Prepare to die." BUH-LAMMO!

The transducer should directly touch the plastic kayak bottom.
Try to minimize air bubbles in the adhesive (silicon, Marine
Goop, etc). Most yakkers swear by Marine Goop. It adheres
to the plastic...

#1) Asian Carp taste good and the meat is healthier for you
than most native fish. Large fish do not contain as much
pollution because they are filter feeders.

#2) Obviously very easy to...

I goof around with home foundaries as a hobby.
After doing some reading, I doubt tungsten will
ever be a feasible substitute for lead.

Pure tungsten's melting point is too high for
anyone to...

Hey folks, check out this thread from the Lousiana forum...

Kman Saved me $3500

I can't be the only person to think, "They re-invented
the stake-out pole."

I've been planning to make a...

Ha! I knew it couldn't be so simple. Thanks for the info, Greg.

This may be wrong, but...

HB models with an "i" in the name are Internal GPS.
Models lacking an "i" are External. For example, the
"798ci HD SI" has an internal GPS antenna while the
"798c HD...

I just can't justify $5 per lure, which seems to be the typical
retail price for deep diving crankbaits. Instead, I wait for local
bagin-bin sales and buy from the Bandit "specials" page. $3 or...
