AKRISONER

Pain in the butt that the companies doing those flashes are being threatened with law suits now. I’m looking at the new odb2 flashes now available to get mine finally done. It’s long overdue.

Probably the only saving grace with my Eco diesel is that I have to be honest, towing my 18 foot glass skeeter with a 130 full of gear and 100 litres in jerry cans of gas etc etc im literally still getting 12mpg and depending on the drive that can dip into the 11's... Highway driving im consistently in the 9's and city its higher 10's. Ive towed a 26 foot glass cabin cruiser with it and it really didnt have any problem with it. It was heavy, and my mileage suffered but it handled it without issue. That weighs about 7000lbs so your boat will be quite all right. Now...for the bad, its a friggin dodge and what does that mean? Well it means that my windows are always de-railed (one nearly fell out on the highway recently) no matter how many times they have been fixed, I randomly have problems with the electronic shift control...that seemingly vanish. The entire EGR cooler system in my truck has been broken since I bought the truck in the summer of 2016. You can read my other posts about this but basically if I knew a lawyer id be suing FCA because after taking my truck to them literally 5 different times complaining about the exhaust dumping into the cab when I had my heat on and my truck eating coolant since new which progressively got worse and worse over time, I fell out of warranty and took it to a proper diesel mechanic who immediately told me my EGR cooler was cracked (and obviously has been since brand new) the diesel Dr's were the ones that ended up telling me that my EGR cooling system was actually under recall. Add this onto my turbo couplers blowing off multiple times randomly etc etc I forget the rest...long story short Dodge, you fooled me once, shame on you...youll never fool me again.

This, my 24 ultra AGM has as much as some 31’s I saw on the market!

My old man’s house actually has an entire separate panel for when they switch to generator power.

A man with an actual clue suddenly appears lol 😂

A million eh, sounds like my cost benefit and risk analysis indicate it’s worth a shot! *grabs cordless drill*

There’s a massive shortage, we struggle up here to get stock in the first place but even the Americans are complaining.

Went out today...was very tough to get the huts set up. Also gotta love when the hut starts levitating while you’re sitting in it lol

stay tuned on youtube for my "how to"

Yup there’s 0 chance that it’s open by may. By may the hope is that people 60+ will be vaccinated. That’s hardly enough to protect the general population.

If anyone here is reading this and thinking about options to do the same, message me. I’ve got a used terrova ipilot 80lb thrust that won’t work with a pedal but has a remote. im willing to sell it very very cheap because it doesn’t work with a foot pedal. I’ve just been dragging my feet getting photos to post it for sale.

Any of you animals go out there yesterday?

hence why I would literally never buy one of those used boats off of some of the pros. You watch how they do it on TV...literally turn the thing over and rev it to max RPM instantly. A few of the pros though you can tell they cruise for a minute waiting for the motors to get up to temperature.

This is what I have heard from the v max crowd is that their water systems don’t drain properly when shut off so the northern guys have cracked their motors by not draining them and having them freeze. the solution for that one is simple though, guy have started turning the motor over dry during cold season. and that if you don’t let the motors heat up before running then full throttle (isn’t this a problem with every motor?) that you can start to have issues. this ones tougher on the competitive bass boat market because of the nature of how guys run their boats they fish a spot for a couple of hours and then hop back to the console and hammer the throttle down. To me though any issue related to this is no surprise at all

Zaldain tried on day 1 he was actually at the spot before gussy and zeroed they said to win that tournament exclusively with smallmouth was impossible

Agreed, the “live coverage” isn’t as good as “bass live” with the entire crew.

A local posted on bass boat central that there’s always fish there. They are clearly wintering there and stacked up. You gotta hope that something catastrophic doesn’t happen to make the fish disappear on him on championship Sunday. a 7lb lead helps a lot that’s for sure

Big difference...it’s his job. He’s not pleasure fishing. They travel and quarantine and then have stayed down there fishing the elites for a month now. travel Isn’t restricted for business purposes

For those of you interested, Jeff Gussy Gustafson of lake of the woods is leading the bassmaster elite in Knoxville Tennessee on day 3 of 4. he’s already got a limit on day three fishing winter pattern smallmouth in the Deep South! Really awesome stuff. Only one other canadian has ever won one of these events. To win an event in the south for a canadian makes it even cooler. Gussy even said during his weigh in interview after day 2 that he has been waiting for years for the right conditions and lake for an opportunity to fish the way he is, which is the same way he’s dialed in on them early spring on his home lake. you can watch the coverage live all day here https://m.bassmaster.com/video/bassmaster-live

did one of the scariest things I have ever done while working on my boat. new trolling motor and a big foot pedal it was time to go recessed. Taking a circular saw to the casting deck of your boat almost made me sick to my stomach. It’s going to come out incredible though. I’ve “dry” installed it and it looks really good. I was about to fasten it down permanently but realized that wiring the livescope that was in the mail would be a hell of a lot easier to do with a giant hole giving me access to the entire front half of my boat 😂 i only almost started a fire....while cutting through the floor with the jig saw initially I didn’t realize there was a cross brace coated in fibreglass that was longer than the blade on my jigsaw. I got a bit stuck and it basically ate the blade on the saw. What proceeded to happen was a hell of a lot of friction. I looked up and noticed smoke billowing out of all of the wire access holes throughout the boat. I began to panic thinking there was a full blown fire in the hull of my boat. all is good though. Seems like every time I get close to finishing the work I add something to the mix ive got installing my new transducer on my transom, installing the livescope system on the bow, which includes running some new power cables down the boat. A new auto bilge, and to stick up my new compartment lighting that’s all wired and ready to go once things warm up...maybe sunday? amognst all of this work I’ve managed to get out a few times on my new stomping grounds, a “newish” (I’ve fished them before but not consistently) species to figure out has been really fun. A few rookie mistakes, learning how they want it, how to fight em, how to land them has made this season really interesting. Coolest of all is just how pretty this fish are.

Glad to hear you got it sorted out!

nope, they will do 80 comfortably though with a passenger and tournament load. Gambler/Sterling hulls are basically designed to not lose any performance with load. So whether you are by yourself or with your tournament partner and all of your gear you barely lose any speed. There arent too many 100mph hulls on the market. Bullet is the main one, and the ones that get to 100 are strapped with either tuned/modified 250's or 300+ The other company on the up and up is ballistic boats. They now have a standard package boat with a 300 and the owner put a 400 on his.

I really need to add the Cheater as part of my arsenal. It just makes so much sense when jigging deep fish, especially fish like laketrout that can be anywhere in the column

It is somewhat interesting that we all have a big giant engine parked in our driveway yet we’re expected to buy a generator specifically for providing power to where we are. You’d think a simple outlet on all vehicles would be an easy thing to put in. Enough power to heat a room to stop the pipes from freezing. Heck I’ve got a Diesel engine in my driveway the thing can idle for days on hardly and fuel
