I too have been waiting for an older Ranger to show up forsale in my area, namely the 680c and 681c. However another boat that I came across is the Tuffy Esox Magnum. It's a fiberglass muskie boat...

I too have been pleased with southern crappie rods. Good backbone but not too stiff and still very sensitive. A definite upgrade from the bargain jig rods I previously used for spidering.

A cheap and readily available anchor that I've had success with is the fluke types from walmart and academy sports (less than $20). The key to using them is to use a short length (3-4 feet) of heavy...

I also fish with hydroglow style green lights and during my last nightstalk (2wks ago) I found that using one light instead of two made a noticeable difference in the number of bites that I got....

Once upon a time when I thought about trying this method I was told to remove the front hook in order to reduce the number and severity of hang-ups.

Definitely make a track with your gps because it's easy to get disoriented at night. Once your done fishing just follow the breadcrumb trail back to the dock.

I think they all will do the job however it seems to me that the cheaper oils produce more smoke. I noticed this a few years back when I changed from the Johnson/evinrude oil to the walmart brand;...

I've had good luck with walmart and advance auto batteries. The good thing about advance is that you can always find online discount codes that will save you 30 to 40 bucks depending on the original...

Update: After replacing the fuel line the boat started easier and even ran a little better, however I just didn't feel that it was performing at an optimal level. I pulled all three carbs, cleaned...

Scoggins in Milledgeville used to have a small selection of minnows before they closed but I don't know who the supplier was. You could get small, large, jumbo, and goldfish if I remember correctly....

With free shipping from China and Hong Kong, it'd be 2015 before you could put your hands on them.

Nice setup. I'm sure it was way easier than you had anticipated. Just a matter of gathering the right parts and pieces. Now all you need to do is get that livewell full. Good luck.

where were you fishing? I fished Sandy and Rocky today about 2hrs each. Only 1 bite all day. Talked to a few other fishermen and they were also having tough luck. I finally got tired of fighting the...

This happened to me on a 94 fastrike. Turned out to be a problem with the fuel system.

Perhaps it has to do with the style of float being used. The majority of people are using floats with swing arms whereas the floats used by myself and the guy who wrote the original post are using...

In an attempt to remedy what I thought was a carb issue, I began to use seafoam on a regular basis. Shortly afterwards my fuel gauge malfunctioned and would always reflected the tank being empty. I...

What's the deal with Sinclair crappie? Are they overpopulated making it too competitive for food or is Sinclair lacking in some environmental component that crappie need in order to thrive? Maybe...

I pulled the plugs and everything is fine, no backflow. The screens sound like a good idea if I can figure how to make them fit.

I think they are above the water line but to be honest I've never paid attention to this detail. By design I would think they'd have to be above water.

You may have been too shallow. This weekend I was at Sinclair fishing water that ranged from 48 to 52 degrees and all my fish were caught in 15-20 feet of water.

During my recent fishing trip, I forgot to turn off the livewell pump and noticed that water had began to spill into the boat. Upon investigation I found that I actually have overflow drains on both...

What was the approximate water temp and depth where you fished? Just curious because I'm trying to plan a trip. Was thinking of putting in at Sugar Creek for a late evening troll and then some night...

It may have been cheaper because it was old stock and thus considered clearance. Seems like I read somewhere that the old Mercury lines had red print whereas the newer ethanol compatible stuff has...

I don't know what holders you are using but I think hi-tek and bee ready both make holders designed to work with your track system. Hi-teks have been great for my spider setup; easy in, easy out, and...

Problem solved. Decided I'd address the cheap stuff before making a trip to the boat shop. First problem, I think my fuel line was way too long and the valve in the primer bulb may have been working...

If you have the track system there is no need to drill holes in the boat. Some rod holders are specifically designed to work with that system and others can be mounted to the generic blocks that are...

what days and times?

In my search I have come across some stick anchors that flex (fiberglass) and some that are rigid (stainless steel). Which is better? Best deals I've found are (1) stainless Cajun anchors on...

149342Here is an example of a great mounting solution. No drilling required.

Great ideas. I'm thinking an 8ft galvanized grounding rod might do the trick. I think they come with a pointed end and on the opposite end I can add a handlebar or garden tool grip. Maybe a little...
