Got a 2001 Merc 75 4-stroke carbeurated motor. Left fuel in it for several months, but with Stabil in it. Started the motor (had to use starting fluid) and let it run for 2 hours. Took it out on the...
My brother has a used pontoon that is in real good shape. His father-in-law had just torn off the deck and replaced it new with a marine deck and carpet when he became ill and could not use the boat...
If you don't "have time" to devote to fishing under the lights and you want to try crankbaits you still have time this season to fish for them when the shad come up at night. Cruise from point to...
I talked to a dealer that sells Motor Guide and MinnKota both. He swears by the Motor Guide. I have always heard MinnKota is better, but the Motor Guide is 30% cheaper for the same features. I am...
How's it going fish2win? Are you enjoying the early morning smallie topwater bite? I just wanted to comment that I have caught rainbows BELOW Melton Hill Dam. It only happened one year, but a buddy...
I owned a 14' Lowe "Big Jon" for years. Very stable boat. I would not go less than 14' or less than 15HP. The 15HP would take me about 20MPH with just me in the boat. If I had to do it over again I...
The best tip I can give you on walleye fishing in Canada is just go to Minnesota instead. Go to the lakes in NW Minnesota around Bemidji. There used to be a guy that posted on here a lot named...
I haven't been back out since. My father-in-law had a heart attack and triple by-pass last weekend and he's still unconcious. I'm seeing a LOT of gull action about a mile upstream of the Kingston 58...
Thanks Yank.
Last night (Nov. 30) I went out just before dusk on Watts Bar to catch some striper on topwater. Just before dark and through "dusk" I was catching fish "V-waking" a chrome and blue Redfin. I got...

Is this a new boat? By the way, the clearance price you are quoting on this 2006 is higher than the $17,365 published as the "no haggle" price for the 2007 model of the same boat on the Tracker...
If you are at ALL interested he says call him and make a reasonable offer. Thanks. Last post on this.

I was just contacted by a fellow that is going to lose his boat if he doesn't sell it by next Friday. I will post the info also on the boat discussion board. It is a 1994 Voyager 24' pontoon with a...

Get some Kalin's color #808 as small as you can get, which is their 2" I think. I'm not sure about the other "shrimp" color. I'm pretty sure I got them at Outdoor Sports at Merchant's Road/ I-75. I...
It seems the crappie are on now. I got three fat slabs two 15" and a 16" off one sunken brush pile this evening right before dark. They were at the mouth of a small cove within 30 feet of the Riley...
THings really slowed down after Saturday a.m. I couldn't catch a cold yesterday. I may get out this evening for a couple hours but probably not until Wednesday evening. I'll keep you posted.

BTW, I got 3 LM last night between 8 and 9 o'clock fishing a red shad worm in 8-10 feet of water in some brush. The brush was located on a ledge right next to the drop off into the channel. The fish...
I got three keepers Wednesday evening 8 feet deep in 15 feet of water in a laydown next to a 22' creek channel. I got eight keepers this morning 15 feet deep in 20 feet of water just inside a creek...
You can catch some 40" plus fish below Melton Hill this time of year trolling LARGE blue and chrome deep runners. Motor up to the dam spillway, turn downstream, throw out your lure behind the boat...

What about floaters out in the middle of the channel? I don't see why boat manufacturers couldn't at least engineer a cable system for their boats and offer it as an option. Then only people that...
Try a 1/3 oz. Cleo. You can cast it a mile, too. I also never use anything heavier than 6# line in the clear water.
Wow. Five keepers total out of ten boats? That's some tough fishing. At least you know "it wasn't you". The bite was tough Saturday. I went out Saturday morning and got one bite on topwater and...
How did your Watts Bar trip turn out?
The last two evenings I have been catching them in about 8 feet using 300 series Bandits. I got some strikes on topwater, too. If you are goetting out early I would definitely throw some topwater at...
Have you mailed the stuff yet? I bid in my wife's (Vicky) name.
Don't you think 38 MPH is too fast to be going at night (unless you are out in the middle on a moonlit night)? Where's the fire? It would a lot safer if people would get up on plane and then slow it...
So how fast is full plane in your boat?
Let's try again. I bought some at a place that sounds a lot like "DIX" Sporting Goods two weeks ago. I'm glad my name isn't Richard.
I bought some at ####'s two weeks ago. Still slippery in the bag.
I live about a mile upstream of the 58 bridge, so I fish mainly between there and Buck Creek. There are several good creek mouths and humps in the area. It is better around that structure when the...
Ask again just before you go and I will give you a report. I have been catching a few keepers lately on Bandit 300's around points and bluffs. Very early in the a.m. I have been getting them on pearl...
Hunh. Sounds like the ones I threw back in. I had pictures but I can't find them anymore.
How deep do they stay when on the flats? At Norris they move onto the flats but stay at the thermocline. As TVA starts dropping the lake in August/September they get down around 30 feet.
I'm surprised Pennington doesn't have them. The closest place I can think of is Hickory Star, but you can't keep them out overnight. You have to bring them back everyday at dark.
It's almost for certain a bowfin, also called grinnell, mudfish and dogfish. The bowfin has a couple of little "whiskers" on it's upper "lip" close to it's nostrils. Check out this site:

Have you checked nadaguide.com? I paid $5,500 for a 1995 17' Lowe J17 six years ago. It was an impeccable, rarely used, garage kept boat. It is comparable to yours. Riveted aluminum, 70 HP w/tilt,...
That makes my head hurt.
I don't even use bait below Melton Hill. I just troll large chrome and blue deep divers. I don't catch as many but the ones I do catch are big. I got three 40"+ in one evening there last year. Drive...
Thanks. Yeah, I live about 1 1/2 miles upstream of the 58 bridge. I do notice some pretty good flow at times. Last night I went out after some bass for an hour or two at dark and got into some big...
Thanks anyway, but they don't "do" Watts Bar. They do Norris, but I just moved from there and I don't need an introduction to that lake. I got it all figured out. I can't figure out Watts Bar. It's...
Anybody know of any at all?
Unless these guys admit under oath that they cheated in those other tournaments, how are they going to convict? Just because they won a bunch of money and a boat doesn't mean they cheated in ALL of...
