Bought a solar panel thing the other week to charge up my Deep Cycle battery for the boat motor. Now, it comes with both clips and rings to attach it to the battery. My question is, is it "safe" to have the rings on the battery...then a wing nut then the boat motor clips using the battery at the same time. The panel was $30 and it says it has overcharge protection on it. Just the most sun ut would get would be while I'm out fishing. Or on the other side my arms are not big enough to carry a battery a few hundred meters to charge it every other day Thanks, MTBF

I did for abit, the current was in also. My friend was using a t-rigged jerkbait and i was using a jerk bait myself for awhile. Then a brown/orange jig for the rest of the evening. Was bringing it over branches under water, casting it out deep and working it back in and nothing. Ah well, was fun to get out again and a Canoe for god sakes. This thing belonged to a good friend of mine and a board member(not yet posted) and it was like 6" out of the water. Was freaky at first but I made sure the life coat was on lol

Didn't work boys... Didn't catch a dam thing.

Wow, girth over 28" Check, weight at 50pounds Check, 54" Long Check.. What a giant! MTBF

It's may be a little too late for this season however next season I plan to make up documents where I can fill in such information. I like to gather fish weights and baits they were caught on on long trips. Give's me something to refer to. As for the XR08's I have 2. The big X-Rap might be too big but a nice musky/pike lure to be used in the future. Going to concentrate on that Bomber though. The Largemouth that I caught a few weeks back brought up a 4" minnow(baitfish of some kind...have yet to practice my baitfish ID) So something simple in color would be best...or so I hope. Thanks for the comment, let's see if I have what it takes to work such a bait really really slow lol.

Amazing, unreal man. Now get out fishing

What a great past time that must be. Great job GCD. Some good old southern tunes would be good for next time

Interesting, there are both smallies and largies in the river alongside walleye and Musky. Would love to crash into a ski but do not feel like using a leader when using a approach where the fish will stare at the bait prior to a strike. Will report back on the result. Thanks for the help ADB.

It has been chilly out for awhile now so I think the fish are use to it now. I'm going to head out to the river some time this week close to the ends of it and going to try a jerkbait bite. I know slow is the way the lure should flo so would a twitch pause retrieve be good to try out/has anybody been doing this. Picked up a Bomber Long A and a BIG 5"+ X-Rap(trying to replicate a big fat baitfish) I'm going to try, both suspend so I was thinking letting the bait "hang" would be ideal. I went last week and caught nothing(walleye fishing with minnows) and this River has me kind of down. Lot's of hmwk to do these next few days but Thursday or Friday I'm looking to get out. It's been nothing the only bite in that river has been a 4lb largemouth bass in my last report there. Anyway, work to do just wanted to ask yet another question. Thanks, MTBF

Nice! That thing is Huge, amazing that only a bullet or two will kill it. Thanks for sharing, MTBF

Hey Mike.... I have been following your thread and just saw the above noted.... (I am looking in to bait-casters as well) I was told that I would need a "bait-caster reel" as well.... This is because of the way the line comes off the bait-caster.. flat .. vs a spinning reel... looped. If u already knew this and have the new rods already.... sorry to bug ya.... but if ya don't .. .well then u are gonna need another Christmas present What? Yes I have 2 baitcast rods...just going to be getting the reels now. Want to get lot's of pratice in before next season. Want to be at the top of my game lol.

Nice man, MTBF

Nice Job guys!
