  1. They call them baltimore minnows at the bait store and charge a $1 apiece go to walmart and get them for 25 cents. I've caught some pretty nice flat or shovel head catfish on them, biggest was 26 lbs. This is the time of year you start fishing for the big cats after dark as its so hot not much else is biting. Was out last week and the ohio river was 84 degrees.
  2. We use them for catfish bait on the ohio river.
  3. A buddy of mine has had one for about ten years I believe. He's not had any issues with it. 16 footer with a forty on it nice comfy boat to fish in I think.

  6. I bought a bottle of 2 cycle oil and didnt realize it was synthetic till I was getting ready to mix it with the gas. I went ahead and filled the can.

I,ve got 55lb thrust trolling motor and cant get very much power to the prop, it seems as far as the motor being able turn different directions thats fine but little power at the prop bout half speed I,d say when on high.

  20. My brother is wheelchair bound and when I was younger I put the chair in the boat and launched then docked it. I then went and carried him from the truck to the boat and into the chair.Now that I'm older I wheel him to the dock , tilt him back in the chair and lower him into the boat usually theres another person there and they get in the boat grab the foot pedals and we set him down in.
