Just curious what You’ve learned from a guided crappie fishing trip that really seemed to make a difference slow trolling? My fishing buddy and I always discuss hiring a guide and see what they do...

Thanks! I'll give this a try.

Hello all- new to spider rigging and have been catching some crappie on the backwaters of the Mississippi. My question is what are some tips on not catching gar? I'm sure some can't be avoided but...

Thank you very much!

Guys- upon replacing the brushes on my terrova, I noticed there is a c clip that is worn out. My question is, where does it go on the armature shaft? I know which side it belongs on but I don't...

Thanks guys. I have my new seals and they didn't come with that cardboard spacer and I don't see where I can just order one of them. Mine was torn in half when I removed the seals. There must be...

I found some fishing line in my Terrova propeller and upon inspection, I found that it trashed the seals. Is there any easy way to remove these seals other than a pick and pliers? Thanks.

Does anyone have any suggestions on bending the transom cap back in to place? Apply heat maybe? Has anyone successfully done this without cracking the aluminum?

I changed my mind on the plywood and ended up using an LVL after talking to a guy who has one on his boat for 10 years. The beam was exactly the right height and thickness. After I sealed up the...

I am going the plywood with epoxy route for this redo. The way I look at this is the boat is about 30 years old and this is the first removal of the transom so if I get another 30 years out of the...

Here is some of the progress so far on the Transom.

So I got the motor off without too many problems. I used tape and took lots of pictures. The problem with tape was the threads were really greasy and the tape didn't stick well at all even with...

Thanks for the input guys. I looked at aluminum but man it's an old boat and I don't think it would be cost effective. I found a 2 part epoxy at menards that I'm going to try. Biggest concern I've...

I have an older lowe jon boat that I have removed the transom from and am building a new one out of plywood and am wondering what the best option is for epoxy to seal it? Where have you ordered it...

I am in the process of rebuilding my transom on my boat and have to remove the 88special to do so. My question is, what is the best way to mark the throttle/gear cables so that when I reconnect...

@mikie
I really appreciate your advice am looking to do this repair in a week or to and will be sure to post some pictures. Thank you

It's been a good boat to me and I think it's worth fixing. Just seems a little overwhelming so if I do decide to do it I will document the project for everyone to see. Thanks

Thanks Clint- I'll give that a try.

Yeah, that what I was thinking as well at first but after inspection they are fine. I filled the livewell with water and plugged the drain on that and it's not leaking. I'm thinking that it may be...

Well I have tried to diagnose my leaky boat for a little while and after bucking rivets, realized that wasn't the main problem. I ran water in the boat to check for leaks and couldn't find anything...

Around here we seine creek shiners that do work for crappie but from what I have found the hook shaft seems to get caught in their gills when the minnow swims around. I haven't noticed any...

6 foot 6 ...6lbs hi vis line...1\16 and 1\32...it just slides down the hook and tears at the bend in the hook.

Guys, I'm having issues with ruined plastics when shooting docks. I think it's from my fingers and all the pressure from loading up the rod. I use jokers most of the time. Any advice would be...

What rods are you talking about? Trolling, Jigging? I am looking to get some new rods and would like to know which ones to avoid. Thanks!

Can anyone tell me if it's worth buying the lakemaster chart select for this lake? I am heading there next week and saw a report on lake-link where the person said it was junk and the contours were...

Anyone doing any good on backwater crappies? Seems like the only ones I'm finding are out in the open.

How many of you have hired a guide and learned something that you use when you crappie fish on your home waters? I am sure we can all learn new things from a guide but would like to hear some...

I'd have to say well under 1000. I have had a few years where I've caught about 300 off one tree or brushpile. Best day last year was a 40 fish day of nice slabs planning on releasing all of them...

Thanks guys! Some great input and I think I am going to pull the trigger.
