It's the opposite for me - dad lives near the ICW (salt) and I'm usually over there w him - we have to drive an hour from his place to go play with crappie. Same amount of effort you describe and...

I have a Striker 7SV and a Vivid 9SV. Also have 2 other Garmin units.

The factory settings work great for finding structure. You'll see fish but they aren't gonna show up strong cause you have...

West coast Grunt trips:

Miss Va out of New Port Richey - lotsa fish
Double Eagle & Queen Fleet out of Clearwater - been out on each once, no complaints
Ms Pasagrille over near St Pete - lotsa...

I have a Minn Kota Terrova 55# on my 18 ft tin. Love it. Works nice.

I went down the Rhodan road when they came out and got screwed. TM wouldn't work, even drove it down to them to check and...

solar?

We use 1/16, 1/8, 1/4 oz white and chartreuse.

Only reason i have other colored bodies if cause they go on sale and have chart. in them.

Hate how folks start the talk about no ARS season every spring.

Look forward to keeping 1 or 2 every year. This is BiL, he never caught one before and this one came on a 3 inch strip of fish...

Boat drifted into a piling at O'dark:30 when snook fishing near inlet. Spilled me in, thankfully, my route overboard pulled wires from battery. Come up spluttering and put rod in boat, then climbed...

Awesome!

Looks like it was an orange day over there.

We use diff colored jigs and it seems whichever one is in front of the fish is the one that gets eaten.

Does someone offer a 360 degree setup? I thought there was one - that would be the way to go.

I have a Live Scope 34 and like it, just feel the narrow band sometimes. I did the $3k out of the...

I just got a Li Time 12 volt 100 amp for $300. It had some really good reviews with some guy dissecting one. Didn't want to buy a $100 battery and sure wasn't gonna spend $500+ Figure I got the...

Fun trip!

You need a net.

We used to tear stoker trout up with size 14 hornbergs w starling cheeks. Very similar to those jigs. Those'll kill em.

I have a ton of stuff I used for tying trout fishing flies and am somewhat of a purist for that. Haven't gotten into tying fancy jigs but find the marabou does great.

Would tie and fish brown,...

I'm surprised the epoxy powder wore off - I can't even melt it in my pot, have to chip it so the lead will drip out of the cured epoxy.

I bought a 10 ft from Academy Sport for about $25. It is okay - my wife will like it. I'm gonna stick with 7 and 7.5 ft rods. The 7.5s are ugly stick bait casters but noodle like and be good for...

With the newest GPS stuff, I'd like to see them tag a handful in each lake and record the travel patterns for a couple years.

They did some stuff like this with Atlantic Striped Bass and found a...

Sorry to hear about the fire.

Were you an active taxidermist? Hundreds of other folks's trophies in there in various stages of completion? I can't imagine how that feels.

We watch the other boats as much as anything else. If they are catching, then will switch techniques.

The only reason the redfish photos ended up in here is cause I couldn't delete them. Had some eloquent story about fishing over the top of 30-50# fish since 1996 and not even knowing they were there...

Very nice.

I like the bodies - the rubber fringies with the fuzz.

Academy sports sells them long whippy rods for like $25.

I caught a 12 incher on mine and gosh-almighty, was like trying to lift a cinder block. Ugly stick makes a whippy 9 ft spinning rod. I've...

Just cause you have trouble grasping something doesn't make it not true or only partially true.

I have yet to catch a white crappie, ever. If/when I do catch one I'll say hey, neat, a white...

That's what I've been seeing. Gangbusters or tight lipped...

Kind of amused at the number of views vs the number of fish report posts by others.

Old post but no-one thought of putting a heavy plastic bag or visqueen in the bucket for easy release. Then pull off concrete.

Side Scan is the bomb for finding structure - cruise along, scan 100 feet per side...

Just hope other guys are doing the same and then you can all share. For real.

I enjoy tying flies/jigs. We used to get all kinds of stuff mail order - had an old geezer teach me about 40 yrs ago, guy was good.

I'll probably start again once I find me a good...

Very Nice!

My dad still has his green box flasher from 100 yrs ago - he bought it back in the 60s. Still works.
