Geo you know that is a 2 day weight, right? So we are saying 16.5 lbs a day for a check is bad? :rolleyes:
That said, the amount of fish caught and weights were definitely down. This reflects my...
Maybe I don't know how to park...honestly, who does this? Blocks half the dang lot...

I was going to head down there on Sunday, till I saw how few limits were caught today in the Costa. Thrift just got a freak bag, it was obviously pretty tough for most
Agreed on the slow part. Jig, shakey head, and drop shot are all that would be on my deck. Maybe a topwater for schoolers. I don't catch the big bags that others do there, but I always catch fish. I...
Looks for contour changes that face the current. Any irregularities on a mile long ledge that the current hits the face of too.
I guess you could always waypoint pirate it, where you just ride...
Every time I fish out of the state ramp at Rough, I see the same thing. I don't understand it. Having 4 and 5 lbers die at each tournament is a waste...
Watch all the youtube videos you can, specifically Doug Vahrenberg
Yes you can see fish on SI. If looking for smaller fish like bluegill, crappie, or bass, you need to turn the range down so you can see them. Otherwise, you can't see 1 12 inch bass while looking out...
You may be able to put a foil over it
Are they in the back yet? Or staging?
You shouldn't have any issues. But the water is not 5 ft low. Maybe a couple ft.
There is a bigger one in there. Had it next to the boat one day and lost it.

Upgrades have to do with contours as well. When they map a lake, they don't cover every inch of it. They use algorithms to fill in the dead space. With each survey, the maps get more and more...
Are you talking about the AS-Si-DB-Y cable? If so, that is to connect a 2d transducer with a SI transducer for on plane readings. If you are referring to the AS-SILR-Y cable, that is for a dual SI...
Most boat shops will probably have it. I also found some at academy sports where I am from. I would imagine Bass Pro has it also.
Do you mean you have some play in the steering? Or is the cylinder actually sliding on the rod the opposite way while driving? Either way, get it fixed ASAP.
So you don't fish or boat on these waterways? How else could you not notice them?
A quarter off of their length. There are some frogs (like Strike King and Spro) that don't need them cut in order to walk them.
That's what the scum frog was made for. Also try the scumfrog bigfoot.
I don't like to bash any brand, but I would personally stay away from Optima batteries. I went through 6 different blue tops in 3 years before I made the switch. Never could figure out the issue and...
No. It was fine 2 weeks ago. There were people fishing from the marina docks too...so they didnt seem to be roped off or anything
This is pretty common in small lakes, which is why I think slot limits work better in those instances.
Michelin LTX A/T2 if you want more of an all terrain tire, Michelin Defender LTX M/S if you don't.
Scattered bite for me on the ledges Sunday. BFL weights looked fairly tough too..I tried to get a shallow bite going, but only caught a few smalls. Good luck and be patient
The trailer is at the right depth. You see, some bass boats cannot just "glide" up to the bow roller, unless the trailer is too far in the water. If the trailer is too far in the water, the boat can...
I throw a rooster tail regularly when power loading. Trimming up does a couple things: one, it pushes the bow up further to clear the bow roller easier, which allows for less power needed to get the...
I would say it is pretty close to normal pool for this time of year. Summer pool doesnt last that long. From what I've heard, shallow fishing has been fairly good.
If you were closer I'd help you out. Have you watched Doug Vahrenberg's youtube videos? He has a lot of info for settings and such online on youtube and bbcboards.net in the humminbird forums.
Where are you located and what units do you run?
Sonar doesn't work through air. That would be radar.
I'd be careful even sticking them in the livewell. Minimum size is 18", daily limit of 2.
Good to see you caught some. I was thinking of heading over there, but figured it would be too packed for...
Yes I know of the flat you are talking about. Which Lakemaster card do you have exactly? I know on both of my Great Lakes cards (versions 2 and 3), Bluegrass is a high definition lake, but it wasn't...
You fish them more often than I do, but I have never noticed lakemaster being off by that much. If I am sitting on a ledge, maybe that will happen sometimes because of poor GPS signal at the time....
Lakemaster has the pit surveyed. Follow your map card. Great lakes region, versions 2 and 3 have it, possibly even version 1.
Did you never switch the spinning reel to right handed cranking? I never understood why people didn't do this...but maybe I am different

So I shouldn't waste my time coming down this weekend? Barkley was tough for me earlier in the year, so it wouldn't be any different than then. I'll be going south on kentucky lake towards the end of...
Is it back up to the bottom of the ramp yet? It was down all the way out to the ditch earlier in the year. I was gonna call and ask the forestry people but never got around to it. I had assumed they...

I just bought a set of the Maxxis M8008s because of a recent flat. Don't have any miles on them yet, however. On a single...
anybody been by bluegrass lately? Would like to fish it Saturday if there isn't ice.
Nope, two of them were on the troller and at that time had a different charger than the cranking battery. The cranking battery went first, followed by 1 troller battery a month or so later. The final...
The battery depends upon the outboard. If you are using an Optimax, the Optima likely won't cut it. I had 3 Optima 31's go bad in 3 years. Needless to say, I was not happy with them and will never...
The crappie are always easy to get to bite in the tribuataries of the Ohio, at least in my experience. Water temperature has little to do with it IMO. I can't remember how many good crappie I have...
Could you give me an update on Bluegrass/Loon/Otter? I would like to go there tomorrow or Sunday, but not if there is still ice. Thanks!
So how's the lakes in southern Indiana looking as far as ice? I know Patoka is still iced over. How about Bluegrass? Or Hoosier National Forest lakes? Would like to get out and do some fishing this...
They don't as far as I'm aware. Didn't stop people last weekend though. I just laughed.
I fished Celina last weekend and they said it was supposed to open up this weekend. Just watch out for folks using their gas motors..
There is a new update out for the xx8 units bud, 7.09. This should allow you to use AutoCharts with the xx8 unit. Go into your MyHumminbird and it will list that it added support for AutoCharts. Of...
