Huge rainbow for my tiny lake. Love the raised seating and deck I can stand on to fight the fish!

I'm still in NY, I decided to scale down the boat work because the fish were calling to me haha Been out in it a few times and it's way more comfy plus effective for trolling... And caught the biggest rainbow from my home lake today! Will post pics when I get the chance, hopefully will get...

I picked up a Walmart 29 yesterday, will see how it does! Thanks for the info guys!!

I've seen some threads on running the exhaust on these noisy 4-strokes into the water to mitigate noise levels Is this putting your engine in danger of sucking back water into the block when you back off the gas abruptly, or maybe go in reverse?

Here it is

When I said "should" I meant if you so choose to have any type... It should be an automatic one lol - I'm not going to mount one on mine. I still like the idea of a safety personally... Accidents do happen and I've been around one too many - that's some scary $$$$ Choosing a good holster is...

I'll be in NY on leave at my parent's lake house... Then off to Ft. Benning Georgia Not quite 2000 miles haha but that's what the transportation office approved me for... Might take a few side stops for sightseeing along the way

I agree with Irish, laser probably won't be doing much more for deterrence than the weapon itself. If you have to post your non firing arm to stop the approaching threat or create distance, the laser gives you an accurate hip-fire that won't hit your nonfiring hand as it holds back the threat.

I'm surprised this isn't a thread already, at least one that I could find I'm in the market for a trolling motor battery and it's looking to be 2x+ the cost of my $80 clearance 30lb Minn Kota Does anyone know of a great deal and size for a deep cycle? I've heard of the Walmart Everstart with a...

Btw it's a 12', 48" beam :)

Hey guys! First post here, I'm a soldier stationed in South Korea and coming home on Saturday - when I was 16 I inherited my grandfather's rowboat, and have since added a 5hp Briggs 4-stroke plus some rod holders. Now that I'm going to tow it 2000 miles to my next duty station and I have a bit...
