  1. Remember you'll usually get more run time out of a 24V system compared to 12V in most situations. I'm in the go big or go home camp. you can never have enough TM.
  2. Ah that sucks. Plastic cleans up nicely with a little elbow grease. Is there an inner lens?
  3. Plastic lens? A quick cut and polish with an DA polisher would probably make them look new again. Same issue that happens with headlight lenses.
  4. They all get their maps from the same place, lol.
  5. Best thing for a newb to do is hire a guide for a half day or full day. You'll learn so much your head will explode.
  6. Yeah, if you're buying new you're kinda stuck. I never do, always used and well outside the warranty.
  7. I don't think I've ever owned a diesel that's stayed stock for more then 2 weeks, lol.
  8. Only type of fishing I do with no leads is frogging.. Everything else gets a flouro or mono leader of some kind.
  9. The Tundra has nothing on the 5.0 coyote engine... Let's be realistic here, lol.
  10. Lew, you've probably got the most bulletproof engine in this thread 5.0 is a great motor, not to shabby on the mileage either.
  11. There's a lot more then just follow the contour that's useful.
  12. Guides are still fishing the Grand, I'd guess the temps are still below what would be considered bad for live release fish.
  13. Exactly. If you wanna follow the contour you need the Lakemaster card. It's been like this for a while. (Or make your own maps with Autochart live)
  14. Bring some big streamers with you, if you don't have any I've got some at the house.
  15. You mean in order to follow contours you need the Lakemaster card. The iPilot and HB links up just fine with any map card.. Communication between the units is completely card independent.
  16. Humminbird is the only one that works with i-Pilot. Tell him to check out the Helix series.
  17. Run heavy mono instead of flouro for a leader, it doesn't sink and won't snag that front hook.
  18. Shimano has been making 'DC' reels for a long time. This one is just affordable
  19. I busted two of my fav rods on my last trip, cursed the trolling motor and a few other things. Sometimes there's just nothing you can do about it, lol!
  20. Mid to late Oct is always my best smallie bite. August is good as well when they're schooling shiners and other spawning bait fish.
  21. Jerkbaits/spinnerbaits. you need something in the middle of the water column that you can cover a lot of water with.
  22. That video should never be released if that's the case, and from what I've read, the trucking company consisted of two trucks, not a big company at all (Which has also gone out of business) Pretty sure it was the drivers cousin that owned it?
  23. I'm sure we've all had brain farts when driving, I know I have. What sucks is the result of this guy not paying attention/being blinded by the sun/whatever.
