Thanks for all the replies and advice. I hope to make it back there after the days of rain and wind we have coming. I’ll be tied up for more opportunity fishing. I want to have fresh bait and drift through those areas as well as the deeper water where the blue cats are right now.

I had my head doing nothing but catfishing. I knew the hybrids were schooling but wasn’t prepared. I even knew they had been hitting cut bait and jigs. They covered a huge flat. i also hadnt had any luck catching bait that day. And there they were big balls of shad. I started to throw my net but...

I’m still figuring out all the functions but getting better at set it and forget it. Unless I want to use the maps gps. When I first got it we went night fishing. I had no business out there in the dark not knowing what I was doing.. Both of us are staring at the screen in aw at how clear a...

Question for the gurus. I bought a little Garmin Striker plus 4 and installed with the transducer on the transom. For the small screen I’ve been surprised at everything it can do. Love the gps functions. I’m still learning how to set things for certain conditions. Gain , frequency etc. I have...

I’ve heard them referred to as all mouth no brains. But I’ve been learning a lot trying to drift fish or catch a Flathead.

Thank you sir. I appreciate the information. I’m asking a question about sonar on a new thread. Since you’re a fellow cat fisherman I’d appreciate your opinion. I’m learning about the type of fishing I’m trying to do and appreciate input from veterans. EDIT: I just read what I typed here and it...

I’m wondering about drifting for catfish.

Hey y’all, I took the new Traxxis55 on its 3rd outing this weekend. This time with the power prop they sent me. The motor did great with the power prop. Even took out a little vibration it had before. We stayed in open water out of the grass and mud. The lake had a lot of floating debris from...

Unfortunately where I’m at I’d have to send off for any prop work. I didn’t spend much on this one. I do have a repair/salvage yard for boats just a little over an hour from me. The guy said to bring the boat and he can usually get close by looking. But he’ll give me a few props and let me go to...

Unfortunately one of my health issues snuck up on me and I’ve been down until today. I’ll turn the pressure down low on my compressor and take care of most . It rained some but I had covered it the night I got back. Out of everything. We didn’t catch a fish but I couldn’t have ask for a better...

thill, have you caught crappie and other species with music playing? If it didn’t Spook crappie from biting I’d say that settles some questions.

Man this is great. I have a cigarette outlet in the switch panel I installed. I ran a string of blue leds the length of the boat adhered underneath the round gunnel top so they’re out of the way. I flip the switch on the panel and you can see the whole inside of the boat. Great for loading and...

Yep mostly jet fleas.

It’s not for looks . You can tell by looking at it. It needs a paint job bad along with a few welds wouldn’t hurt. I’m trying to protect the new goods along with the work I’ve done. I’d like nothing more than to bring it home with the new carpet covered in catfish slime and blood and scales...

We in our way to the lake early about 2 weeks ago. And we stopped to get ice that I’d throw in an old cooler I had so we’d have it for the little baits cooler and throw our fish into. The hinges were gone I used a bungee to keep the lid on. I walked up to the boat and looked at my partner and...

I’ve thought about it and talked myself out of it several times. Lately I’ve been thinking about a waterproof Bluetooth speaker I have since mine is just a Jon boat. I don’t know if it effects the fish I’ve seen a lot of arguments. But Saturday we were fishing and a center console boat cruising...

When I first got it the prop that was on it was real close to 5500 rpms at wot and it was making to boat go fast enough the boat would start walking because it didn’t have enough chines in the water. I’d have to control it by steering the tiller so I wouldn’t go sliding sideways. I saw some...

Oh and way way way way back to my original post. 😂 Can’t believe I have y’all going down an off topic rabbit hole along with me. I had used Armor All that day. It stayed mount on a board inside my shop until this weekend. . When I but it in the boat Friday evening it had collected a little dust...

I noticed a substantial difference. The reason it startled me I had the motor pointing to turn right and it made me kinda bite a button hole in my seat. It was a little bit above 1/4 throttle when it happened but I was used to the other prop and thinking about something else instead of the new...

I guess I started all this. I just got back from a weekend trip to the lake with my grandson. When I ordered my new Minn Kota Traxxis it was supposed to come with a power prop. Even listed it in the original description that it had a power prop. It came with a weed less wedge 2. After contacting...
