Ultrex, Ultrex, ULTREX. That said, i've never run the lowrance or the garmin. Something to consider is do you want your TM to network with our graphs. If so, then you have to brand match...

So have I. Then I change colors and only have to pitch it at them once or twice instead of a dozen times. Color/Profile doesn't always matter. But when it does matter it matters!

Unless you want to network the graphs to the TM i would go with the MK. WAY cheaper as you know. I have the Ultrex and run Garmin electronics and i have zero issues. They way I fish I don't need...

I see a couple of harmless water snakes.

Crappie will bite darn near anything when the conditions are right. But that's only if the conditions are right. I've watched a fish on live scope swim up to my jig and then just turn and go back...

I use the rubber bobber stops that slide on the line. Do a google search. You can get like 600 of them for about $13

^^^This^^^ Fish felt the larger bobber and spit the bait before you knew they were there.

I've had nothing but good experiences with BnM. last summer the insert popped out of the tip eye on my sharpshooter. bought a tip at BPS bit it didn't fit well. Called BnM and ask how I can order...

Dang! Sorry to hear that man. I hope things get better for you!

Bottom 2 pics look to me like sandbass or maybe catfish. They don't look like they're relating to anything so probably not crappie. The SI and DI pics like like crappie or bait. Hard to tell in...

I picked up a cheap batter box at Bass Pro. It was like $10

I switched all of my electronics (2 93sv and livescope) to their own battery. Running all of that plus the pumps off the starting batter was becoming a problem if I fish a long day. Running the...

EVERY lake is cyclical. The size and numbers go up and down in cycles. Most lakes that were phenomenal 20 years ago are not like that now. It's just the way things work. While fishing pressure...

I had 2 of these rods. I really liked them of dock shooting. The problem is....they both broke within 6 months. Not sure if it was my error somehow. But both broke during the process of shooting...

There are 2 approaches to fishing with live scope (in my opinion) Search through your baits until you find the right bait for the fish you see. Search through the fish until you find the right fish...

Here are the things I've learned. Most have been mentioned.

the spotlock is accurate to roughly 5 feet. Which means your boat can and will "wander" in a 10 foot circle with the spotlock point at...

I buy the solid tail baits and split them. Some are perforated so they can be split. Others can just be cut.

I'm no expert in marriage advice. But i'm married to a similar woman who, bless her heart, puts up with all my crap.

That said, in the interest of keeping the peace.....PLAY WITH YOUR ROD...

I fish alone 99% of the time.

I use the golden rule. Cheap, durable, works fine. No need to change just for crappie. It's just a measuring stick.

I'm not sure i'm following about not needing extra weight. The extra weight it to get the jig down to the fish faster, and to help with seeing it on live scope. I guess I don't know why you'd live...

When the fish runs up to the bait and doesn't bite you may as well go find more fish. Livescope is great for that. You don't waste time trying to catch fish that don't want to bite. If one comes...

When you say you covered 38 miles....was all of that on the TM looking for fish? Or is that running from spot to spot and only looking in certain spots? I'm just curious. I usually put the TM...

Here's my take on this. It's about knowing when a crappie bites. A good majority of the time you don't feel a crappie bite. I recently took two trips with a guide on lake Fork. To learn the lake...

Oh no! Very sad. Only met him once but he seemed like a good guy. I believe he has a young family too. Prayers up for them!

I have the 93sv and LVS32 on my bass boat. This is a perfectly useful rig. I DO pick off single crappie with this rig. Last trip out I found a tree with 3 12+ inch crappie stacked up one on top of...

This is from a couple of weeks ago but I'll throw it up here. From Lake Fork on 9/21/23

Because the crowd in Austin is much more about partying and posing than fishing. And Jan-May are too cold for them to be in the water. I'm sure there are some fisherman there. But by and large...

That lake has more brush piles marked than any lake I've ever seen. You can check the internet for the BP locations. I've never fished it but it's on my list for the upcoming year.

I'm guessing Ketchn was posting this as a joke. But...i think use of an artificial jig would be considered more of a decoy than baiting. The baiting debate for hunting is about using natural food...
