I watched some of the YouTube videos on the PWM unit and the MK Maximizer. They are not exactly what I was looking for. What I am pondering is a variable speed foot switch, like the trigger on...

Thank you for the link.

SeaRay- Thank you for the info. I'll check out the Crappie Hole.

I fish from a light weight aluminum boat, and generally I jig brush piles vertically in very clear water for spooky crappie. Because of this, I like to keep my trolling motor set to the lowest speed...

Aluminum semi-v boat + rough water = lots of vibration up front. Have you thought about using rubber isolation mounts?

The river is clearing up. Pretty decent water from the 40 foot hole to Holly creek. Water temps are in the low 60's. Starting to catch crappie in good numbers: some males off the bank and in the...

I use the 3" Big Bite grubs a lot in the spring and fall. As mentioned above, they are fairly soft, but this gives them a better action when slow rolling or dragging. I by mine in bulk online.

River is still muddy, but that hasn't hurt the bite much. Big rains forecast for next week, could get a significant rise.

Thanks. Caught a few today right off the bank in the back of a creek. A couple came out of 5' water. Also picked up a nice walleye in 8' water. Still in muddy water, temps 52 - 55 deg. Fish are...

Have picked off a few from standing timber on the channel edge in the river at 10' - 12'. Water temp around 55deg and muddy. The river has been muddy, even before the last rain. Been having some...

crappie 1133- Keep us posted on what you find out. I have an Elite 7 HDI with pretty much the same issue as yours. Last time out, I checked the DI just as soon as the unit booted up and got some...

Current pool is at 266' and dropping. Spillway elevation is 287'.

Better a controlled release than an uncontrolled one. I checked the Millwood pool data a little while ago. Plenty of storage left down there.

Thanks- No need for a pic. I remember last time it flooded the docks and swamped some boats. Hugo pics would be interesting.

The Corps seems to be pretty nervous about Pine Creek. 24 hour...

That water is going to have some serious velocity when it makes it to the bottom of the far side. Did you go by the marina? I bet it's a mess.

Tulsa District Pool Levels

There is enough storage left in Broken Bow to handle 1-1/4" of rain over the entire basin. The latest forecast is...

I seen that picture you posted of the bow of your boat. I'd be be a nervous wreck in that thing with gators and high water about. I'd probably need and extra case of beer, and maybe a fifth of Beam,...

Look on the bright side. Them Millwood gators is gonna fat on all them trouts that get flushed down there.:biggrin

Tulsa District Flood Status Update May 20 > Tulsa District > Tulsa District News Stories

Corp Info

There has been an average rainfall of approx. 15" so far for the month of May in the Poteau river basin. If they had dropped Wister down to the bottom of the conservation pool before the rains...

Wister topped the spillway this morning, the basin received about 4-1/2" of rainfall last night. There has already been one flood related drowning in the lower Poteau river flood plain from the last...

The lake is about 19' above conservation pool. I just looked at the forecast, and it looks like another 4" or so of rain is possible in the next week. Seven and a half feet of flood control storage...

Thanks BB- I'm using a lead acid marine starting battery. The leads are on "farmer tight" with lock nuts. I already have a power lead run to the bilge and have been running the graph off of my...

Thanks for the replies, guys. The voltmeter on my instrument panel tops out at 16 volts. It is usually pegged at WOT. I Have not checked it against another meter for accuracy. I'll hook it up to...

I have an older motor that uses a rectifier for charging instead of a voltage regulator. I would like to wire my graph, an Elite 7 HDI, directly to my cranking battery, but I'm worried that over...

Crappie1133, Thanks for the info. I have my waypoints backed up, so I'll give the hard reset a shot.

Thanks SeaRay- I went back and checked and the 455/800 83/200 skimmer was selected.

I have a new(to me) Elite 7 HDI that is having a Down Image problem. The 2D sonar is working well and giving good readings on both 200hz and 83hz. The down imaging, however, is giving very weak...

Dstreet- I don't think fish numbers are down on Broken Bow, it's just that weather and water levels have the fish patterning differently than normal. There was a record flood in 2009 that topped...

Fished about a half a day today. Spent most of my time around Sand Springs Bend playing with some new electronics. Caught a few small males off the bank in some of the pockets, 1 14" female that...
