Thanks for the information. Much appreciated

Greetings
I change monofilament every year on my reels but have never changed my braided line (Power Pro) in 3-4 years. It seems to be just fine.
What is the recommendation for changing braided...

For many years until 2011 I used a 12' deep V (1954 Alumacraft) with 5.5hp outboard ('56 Johnson). I never had any problems, always enjoyed a "quality outdoor experience", caught fish, and spent...

Great news!
Will be good to see you out fishing.

Thoughts and prayers are with you.
Pacemakers don't interact with sonar! See you back fishing soon.

You guys are great.
Where else can a person get decades combined experience from knowledgeable "boat guys".
Looked up Seafoam since several have mentioned it. Website says it can stabilize fuel for...

All,
Many thanks for the advice.
I'll probably go with Chatt's middle of the road solution.

Need some advice.
I haven't been able to go fishing in ~18 months due to that 4 letter word "work".
I had filled up my tank with gas (~35 gal) prior to this prolonged storage. Fuel stabilizer...

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

Any examples of nice small lakes around Lawrence you would care to suggest?

Nice!
Jigs? Minnows? How deep?

I would like to hear what the professional guides who contribute to this web site have to say about this.
Guides serve an important function to those trying to improve their fishing skills.

Thanks. I very much appreciate the information.
I've been trolling at ~1.5mph so I guess I'll try speeding up a little

What baits do you use to target wipers?
I usually troll with stick baits at various depths along channels.

In regards to bait size, is it dependent on time of year??

Thanks for the report.
What about the state ramps, marina etc?

Thank you all for the information

Last May I bought an XI5 in that I have Lowrance electronics. Has worked as advertised, is quiet, and I have no complaints. The "anchor" feature stays right over structure. The pre-setting of a...

Gary,
Thanks. I'll have to expand my repertoire.
How does one identify a wiper vs walleye vs catfish vs carp on electronics? I see "hooks" but often wonder "what is it?".

Thanks for the info. Sounds interesting.
In regards to: "running water", "only a couple of feet deep", are you fishing in river/"crik", or shallows/coves of lake with in flowing source?...

Question about wiper techniques.
I have always trolled with stick baits either shallow <10' or deeper 16-20'. Usually I follow the channels and concentrate on bends or drop offs. Occasionally I will...

Shane,
What shape crank baits: Long thin or shad like?

I can't help you specifically in regards to El Dorado, but I target wipers frequently at Clinton in that they are larger than crappie, good fighters, and tasty.
My usual technique, and last week at...

Thanks for the information, and nice pictures.
I've never tried below the dam.

Garry,
How is the XI5? Does it work as advertised?

Nice!
What depth were you fishing? Brush piles vs suspended?
