Would be interested especially if you could get one in eastern iowa possible coralville/McBride or the Mississippi river. Hard to make it everywhere though.

Make sure that the "pee hole" isnt plugged and lines to it are clean. I have a 2005 60hp 4 stroke that acted similar and it had some deposits in the line, so i drilled out the pee hole a few sizes...

Price for 788hd di please. Thanks

Wondering the detail and if they are good enough on the main river as well as backwaters to buy the lakemaster chip. Any screen shots would be appreciated. Thanks

Anyone had this problem and know how to fix it. I tried everything to pop the release over but cannot force it loose to remove the hood. Short of grinding off the bolts/rivets, i can not think of...

Folks I just recieved authorization today to put on a tournament at Coralville Lake on Saturday 5/19/2012 fishing time from 7am to 3pm, the event host will be at Scales Point Campground/Bobbers...

If you're ever up Iowa way make a stop in at Lake Belva Deer in southeast Iowa. The lakes only been around about 10 years but it wouldnt be uncommon to get into 11-13 in gills everytime you go out. ...

Guys we have an acceptance of a coralville lake business to host the event with great amenities, date to be determined, as well as some other sponsor interest.

Looking like it will be a 90 per...

I was thinking about contacting scheels/fin and feather. What are some of the boat shops/marinas on the lake. I would like to see if someone would be interested in taking tournament entries at the...

I would appreciate any info or assistance on this subject. Foremost I would like this to be affordable 95-100 payback depending on if there is a trophy. Also family oriented where a father/grandpa...

It seems there is interest on the Rathbun crappie club thread for tournaments. It may be late for 2012 other than a few small get together tournaments from people on this board, but what interest do...

I agree with crappiepappy. Fish everything with a 1/32 #2 wide gap hook, bronze. Its strong enough to pull in not only crappie, but cats and bass that are hungry as well without the worry of bending...

I fished there last july. The lake was up high enough then that people were tubing and pleasure boating. The depths are still not great for fishing in many areas on 3-5 foot off the main lake. Did...
