Not sure. Never had gps on the boat. I know that it will out run a 18' Bullet with a 150 Johnson with a jack plate and stainless steel prop. Have a buddy that owns the Bullet and needless to say,...

The boat is a 1988 19' Lazer bass boat with a 150 Johnson GT outboard motor. It has been garage kept. It has two livewells, built in cooler, 33 gallon gas tank, two large rod boxes, plenty of...

The a-rig in my opinion is one of those things that gets it orgins from striper fishing (ie the umbrella rig, the lead minnow, and such). The lead minnow has been around for decades and is basicly...

I don't understand the argument here.

That site was nothing but a big infomercial for their jigs and Gary Yamamoto soft baits. There was nothing every informative as far as jig fishing goes. However, it was a good advertisement with...

I think that it would be alot harder to regulate a tournament on the local level using the CPR system. It would be to hard to keep all the fishermen in the tourny honest without a ref. in every...

Still have the lower unit if anyone is interested make an offer.
DJ

I need a Lower unit for a Johnson 150 gt. If anyone has one or knows where to get a good used one please let me know.

Thank You,
DJ

I just picked up a few of these baits the other day and decided to try them out in my pond to see if they were as life like as everyone says they are and let me tell you they are. I was suprised at...

I have a Lower unit for a 175 Suzuki DT O/B for sale. It's in good shape, works good. It's off an 88 model motor so it does have some signs of use. no broken skeg or anything but a paint chip or...

I tried the Vicious brand and wasn't impressed at all. Abrasion resistance an knot strength isn't much. One thing that I can say about the Vicious line though is it is a great casting line but I'll...

I fished Buckhorn for about two hours yesterday evening and caught only one fish. Although it was a decent one, a hair over 18". I didn't get to the lake until about 6:30 pm and put in at Traces...

I have fished Buckhorn for years. Mostly the head waters as I live in the general area. I have caught alot of bass,crappie,and musky from the lake. It's not really known for big bass but I have...

I've got nothing bad to say about BPS Excel line. It's alot more shock and abrasion resistant than Vicious mono. I have 8 lbs excel that out performs the 12 lbs Vicious in both shock and abrasion...

I have a couple of different brands but my Quantum Energy PT get the most use. I also have the Accurist PT 501 (left handed reel) for P/F. It's a 6:1 ratio. Seems to work fine. I haven't invested...

Will the reeds really give it a 10% increase in fuel economy you think? I can't see it helping to much. The motor as is will start and idle without having to touch the warm up lever. Idles smooth...

Ok guys, I've always been a Lowrance fan myself but my dad just bought a Humminbird unit. My question is about a transducer that he bought for it.
XNT 9 QB 90 T
Quadra Beam, 20/60/90 Degree,...

The motor is running great. I have changed the plugs and wires. I think it has more to do with the fact that it is an 1984 model than anything else. I was thinking of going with a newer E-tec (...

As some of you may knowI own a 1988 19' Laser 3880 bass boat. It now has a Johnson GT 150 on it. The boat will flat out fly. Not sure of how fast that it will go (no gps as of now). On the lowrance...

I was unware of the fact that steel weights were bigger than lead. I haven't used them. Thanks for the info guys.

DJ

I've noticed that there are alot of post about lead or tung. weights but why not steel. I have seen them sell as cheap as lead at times. Why aren't they considered as a good option? I haven't used...

What is the float-n-fly? I think I know the basic rig, a hair jig under a slip float. I may be wrong. I would like to know all that I can about the Float-N-Fly. Any tips?

Thanks, DJ

Yeah, I thought the same thing when I looked at the pic.s on here but the bass was just a hair over 21" long and 12" around.

AndyG, your right about the big guy comment. 6'3", 250lbs.
...

Thanks, last year I seemed to caught bigger bass on Carr Creek lake. I haven't had a chance to fish it at all this year though. In the pic. of the Musky it was raining when I caught it so have to...

I also live in Leslie county. I have caught alot of good fish in the head waters of Buckhorn but not alot in the lake itself. I have caught some huge smallmought in the head waters. Thats the...

I caught my PB (personal best) LM for Buckhorn lake over the weekend. 5.18 lbs. On Buckhorn most of the time I caught dinks or 1-2 pounders but the first fish of the day Sun. was this........

What do you mean by inside the cowling? I can't find anywhere that it could go on the motor itself. As far as lines that have been T'ed for it to connect to. I figured that since it had a working...

I'm also have trouble figuring out where the tube from the guage goes on the motor(1984 Johnson GT 150). This motor had a water pressure guage on the boat that it came off of and worked at one time,...

I have just installed new guages on an boat that I bought. It's a 1988 Laser Bass Boat 3880 Flippin Deck. I have replaced the 175 Suzuki with my 1984 Johnson GT 150. Now I'm having trouble with...

Sorry Ribbluefish, They kept the prop when I bought the boat. The lower unit is in great shape. Well the cover and case looks good on the motor. It was very well kept up. The oil injection system...

I bought a 1988 19' Laser bass boat today. It's a solid boat and has been taken care of as far as I can tell. A couple of things that I noticed about the boat was that it had tin compartment lids. ...

I just bought this boat today. It has a Suzuki 175 oil injected outboard on it that I'm going to take off to put my Johnson GT 150 on. Before you all call me a crazy for wanting to trade out the...

I have a question about sunglasses lens colors for fishing? I wear prescripition glasses every waking min. making buying several different pairs to try out not within my buget. So if you could only...

Favorite boat of course is mine..http://www.fishin.com/forums2/images/icons/icon10.gif.. A 1988 19' Laser 3880 and favorite lure is a fluke.

I wouldn't mind having them. Don't really have anything to trade on though. How much are you would you take for all of them?

DJ

Kygorski, sounds like a nice boat and great for trolling. But I'm looking for a 18' or bigger bass boat for the motor and stuff on.

I'm looking for a 18' or bigger bass boat. Not a new one. I'm looking for one as a project boat. One without the motor or trolling motor or even the trailor. If the price is right I don't mind...

Buckhorn is a great Musky lake, alright crappie lake, and not to bad for Bass. Monster Musky are caught out of Buckhorn all Spring, Summer, and Fall. By monster I mean 50+ inches. Crappie, I can't...

I have decided to get back into tourament fishing again. My first tournament will be on Dewey Lake, at the Swimming Pool Ramp. I have never been there let alone fished it. The tournament is...

On the bracket that mounts to the boat there should be a stamped metal plate that has all that info..

DJ

Ky. Lake, Berkely, Dale Hollow, And C-land. I think not %100 sure but I think so. Go to Lowrance.com and check it out from here. It will have a link to another site when you click on it. Thats...

Mhall, sounds like your getting lots of good advice. The only thing that I can ad to this is to wait until you feel the wieght on your line to set the hook. I know, much easier said than done. ...

I have a question reguarding a crankbait rod? For a good all around cranking rod would I need a M, MH, or H rod? I would like to use it for both shallow and deep diving cranks. Thanks

DJ

What are your thoughts on chatter baits? I don't have one yet but was thinking of trying this bait out. Would love to hear what you guys have to say. Thanks guys

DJ

Thanks guys I knew I could get some good ideas here. Again I value all of your opinions. I think I will try a 5:1 ratio and see what I think of it. I have the 7:1's and even a 6.3:1. Thanks again...

I was wondering what you guys think the best gear ratio for crankbaiting with a baitcasting reel is? I like to use a faster gear ratio for other things like soft plastics and topwater baits. For...

I have a lowrance X-85 like new. It Has the transducer and also a speed wheel with it and the manual. If you are interested.

Csparks, That's alot bigger that anything I seen or heard of coming out of that lake. He should have had them wieght it at the marina. It would have been a lake record I'm sure. The biggest that...

He should have took it to the marina and let them put it on the scales, most likely would have been a lake record. I have hear of several bass caught out of there in four and five lbs range but...

Thanks for all the great post guys. DJD, yeah I read that post from Andy. Now that's a fish. Andy, yeah it's alittle out of the way. I have a could of lakes around here to fish ( Buckhorn Lake...
