I have bought some powerpro braid. I may use the nano for non leader applications and the braid for when i need a leader. Ive never used one till a few years ago and saw where they work when a buddy...

Thanks guys! Ive found a few tool on the interwebs that help woth the FG knot. Holds the line tight while you make it. Also have saw a bobbin type deal that looks neat but really dont know how it...

Any of you guys attempt to tie an FG knot with 3# nanofil to a flourocarbon leader? Ive watched video after video and cant get it right. That nano is some aggravating stuff!!

I will agree on the 1st gen Minn kotas. I bought a 2018 ranger and had it rigged with an Ultrex. It would hold in spotlock very well. I sold it back early spring. I have since bought an older boat...

Yes im the same way, the beds i fished a week ago are cleaned out and ones that i fished years ago are covered up by grass. Only put one keeper in the boat today! I saw a few spots kind of like you...

Well....I pulled the trigger on a new one. I was sick of messing with people. It will have everything i want on it too!

Inquired about the boat, liked the pics, verbally told the guy if it was what he says it is i have money and will be there in a day or so. He agrees and then its "radio silence" i was supposed to...

Buddy sent me an ad to an 04 xpress with an 200 yahama this morning.Its 10k needs the electronics amd tm but its a nice lookin rig! More boat than i would need but could deffinately make it work!...

Yes! Bolt on fenders, el cheapo trailer lights... i wasnt impressed with the quality of it. Any gripes with the Lowe?

Yes, i know that the boat will depreciate something stupid as soon as it latches to the ball on my hitch. Yes 15 years is a loooong time to pay on a rig but that term is the longest they have. I...

I appreciate all of the input guys, i really do!

My original plan was to buy a 10k$ boat then put the TM and electronics on it. I have strayed far far away from that!

The new boat i have got priced...
Ranger Rt188
Bottomland camo
Bedliner sprayed inside
115 Yamaha SHO
80# Minn Kota Ultrexx w/link
2 helix 9's networked.

I originally priced the C model but...

I think my biggest concern with the new one is whether my love for it will overcome that monthly payment as years go by. I have never kept any vehicle or boat ive ever owned more than 5 yrs. The new...

In the market for a boat. Priced a new Ranger Rt188 in the color i want, with all the electronics i want. Went and drove a 16 model Lowe 195 stinger today. I could live with it as its a cadillac...

Being that "my spots" are spots that others have told me about, or have shown me over the years... I still call them "my spots" I am also very picky to who i carry to "my spots". I aint about to...

Well I am officially as of 9:25 tonight!

Well got a guy that called me and says hes coming with money for the old boat. We will see what happens. I did price a new Ranger Rt188 today, rigged out they way i want is 28kish$....

Xpress boat got gone before i could look at it. Priced a New Mercury 115 today. Not as high as I wouldve thought. I know what the electronics and TM are gonna cost. All i know of is carpet, i had a...

Thanks guys, I appreciate it! I have a bad "want" gene! I did find an Xpress boat that i want to look at. I dont know how that will pan out tho. I will try to look at it tomorrow. I tried to dye the...

Yes Deltarat, if i was to add up what all i have invested in chasing these little fish it would be crazy. You cant put a price on fun! Haha
Slabprowler, I may holler at you on that, though it will...

I did buy a Triton tr175. 115 honda 4 stroke. I thought i would love it! I sold a week later because i cannot make myself like a fiberglass boat. This old ranger (crestliner) has plenty of deck...

Been looking for newer boats with no luck... I am thinking about upgrading mine. Ive had it for sale for 4500$ for about a month with only tire kickers.. Its a 1995 Ranger cherokee with a 120...

I always wondered when i was little why my Dad always carried a pistol in the boat with him. Curiosity got the best of me one day and i asked him why he did. He said there was idiots everywhere...

Ramp riggers are what make me jump a tooth on my timing chain. Alot of them are crappie fishermen. They back up and block the ramp and proceed to unload the truck, unstrap the boat, check fishing...

Also went thursday and we picked up 10. Knew they were there but when they bit they were agressive. Didnt see many under the bridges. Its amazing when they are biting, looks like someone is giving...

Like all the ideas

Hmmm i may try that, what size holes would you put in it? Several small holes or a few large 1-1/2 holes

Cool ideas. I have put structure in my pond but nothing like that. I have cut willows around the edge of the bank but not totally cut thru, just enough to lay the tree flat in the water and the stump...

Tryin to figure out what to use. This boat has two huge livewells and there are grooves to put 2 dividers in each livewell. What would you guys use? I thought about some old campaign signs and cut...
