Re: Structure Situations - Feeder Stream Cut & Hump

a person with $20,000 in modern electronics but no guidelines is lost nearly 100% of the time. A person with no electronics at all but knows and uses our guidelines will always do better. However... A person who knows, understands, and uses the guidelines along with modern electronics really does s...

Lake of the Week 8-17-12

Lake of the week is BACK!

How would you interpret this lake?
Water color?
Best time of the year to fish?
If this lake had bass.. where would you fish spring, summer and fall?

Re: Did You get your boat fitted out Jim Shell?

it's been several weeks now and the verdict is in, Boat and motor is great! Had to move the seat back and spend some time getting use to it, I don't regret a thing. The "plastic" boat is great! It maneuvers very similar to my other boat and I love the fact that I'll have NO more leaking hu...

Re: Did You get your boat fitted out Jim Shell?

I think my problem is, I'm really going to miss my old rig. Buying or selling a boat is alot like getting a new wife/girlfriend and getting a divorce or breaking up. Usually when the "breakup" happens, It's a little bumby at first, but it doesn't take long to get use to a "new" m...

Re: Did You get your boat fitted out Jim Shell?

On my old rig (Honda 40) from the transom to the end of the tiller handle it's 28". On the new rig (E-tec 60) it's 36" from the transom to the end of the tiller. May not seem like alot, but the 8" difference seems like night/day. It will probably just take some time to get accustomed ...

Re: Did You get your boat fitted out Jim Shell?

Well... I did pick up the boat/motor Friday afternoon. My first reaction I was a bit surprised how long the tiller handle was. Usually they are too short if anything. Not on the E-tec. It's longer and bigger than a baseball bat! I had to move the seat a good 9". Weather here has been crap the p...

Re: Did You get your boat fitted out Jim Shell?

I've been swamped at work.. :x I actually got the call today the boat is ready. I pick it up early afternoon tomorrow, then will drive 1/2 mile and launch it at the lake of the week I just posted. Won't fish, but will take it out and get a feel for it... Will let you know tomorrow if it lives up to ...

Lake of the week 4-19-12

Lake Beulah... I'm sure several members from Il &WI have fished this lake (including myself).
This lake has been known to produce some very nice bass and Northerns.

Seasonal approach?
What do you think the water color is?
Would you recommend this lake to a new spoonplugger?
Game plan?

Re: Arizona Turns 100

Gary, you bring up an interesting point. Why is it that so many Spoonpluggers catch so many fish, yet rarely break any records? Always found this strange. A little known fact... The Wisconsin State record carp was caught in 8-28-1966, 57lb's in Lake Wisconsin... on a spoonplug! The fish was caught ...

Re: boat dealer rant...

Since I was back to where I was a month ago, I rethought the whole thing, and decided to stay with the original plan, a 60HP E-TEC. I made a deal with another dealer about an hour away. Bottom line, I'm getting a slightly better deal, but will take another 2 weeks. I'm really looking forward to see ...
