Jig saw and a hole saw and a hunk of plywood you can make those easy.

You can replace that tip top pretty easily if you’re in love with the rod. Might not be worth the trouble on an old ugly stick though.

I go to this place. https://secure.versitex.com/main.asp Website is very confusing. I drive over and go in to the place. He has big barrels filled with brand new blanks that have little blems. Can get them super cheap. He also has literally 1000,s of new blanks from every manufacturer from...

This! I build all my own rods. I’m fortunate to have a wholesale rod building supply house not too far away. But you might find that building your own is not your cup of tea. I Used to teach a class on rod building every year. I’d say less than 25% continued to build their own rods. Nothing more...

A friend of mine got his scope late summer last year. On his first outing he saw something huge coming straight up to the surface fast on the scope. The next thing he knew a cormorant broke the surface 15 yards in front of him. How lucky can you get to see that first time out.

I primarily fish for bass. I find it most useful for searching deeper water for fish hanging out on structure. Even when you do see fish you still need to make them eat😄 Mr giggles is spot on about using it for crappie. I have a buddy that has become addicted to scoping and picking off crappie.

The TM I have does not have spot lock, so holding it steady or looking around is not an issue. That might change when I upgrade the TM. To be honest I personally think livescope is over rated. It’s cool but I have it turned off a lot of the time. Admittedly I am not as good as a lot of the...

I have a crestliner 16 storm. I have an UHD 106 SV on the bow and a 93SV2 at the console. I have livescope. My current configuration is the GT 54 transducer on bottom of a 24 volt MK cable steer trolling motor I also have the livescope transducer on the MK shaft. Both connected to the 106. I...

I guess gators are pretty well hated in those parts. I’m a hunter and kill game animals. But I won’t kill what I won’t use but that’s just my personal preference. Not a slam on you. Don’t know your circumstances.

Had an enjoyable morning on the water with my son yesterday. We managed a handful of smallish bass 16 inches or so, no big ones this time out. But was nice to spend a few hours together.

What state? My guess is California???

I don’t get it either. My friend moved into a fancy house in a development that has a HOA. He had a contractor pave a nice parking spot next to his attached garage for his boat. Nope! Didn’t take a week till they told him no boats parked outside. Fricken joke.

Alrighty then, Good luck.

HA HA, I hear ya. I have acres but can’t justify having a bunch of boats around that won’t get much use if at all. Presently have two boats. One I keep at the lake all summer. The other is here at the house at my disposal whenever I want to go fishing. Just got rid of a third boat I had this...

Welcome! What area you post in depends on what specifically your asking about.

Similar here. Decent Aluminum boats 14 foot and over are still able to draw a good price. As far as glass boats goes. I could easy fill an acre or two in a matter of a few days with free or almost free ones. Feel bad for a guy that lives near me. Bought a brand new 2023 1850 crestliner fish...

Nice work!

The only experience I have with hummingbird is my buddy has an Helix on his boat and it’s a quality unit. The side imaging is as good as my Garmin UHD echomap, other than that I think Garmin is a bit better. But we all have different opinions, especially when it comes to electronics.

Yes sir! Great for that boat. I don’t know how we can keep going in this direction with the price of everything. It all boils down to greed, false shortages, and the current state of our government. My truck had a quarter tank in it when I filled it last week, still cost me 83$ to top it off...

Is there a reason your 100% going lowrance? Was a lowrance user for years. Maybe I had bad luck but I got tired of them failing before I got two seasons on them. Made a switch to Garmin a couple years ago and so far so good.
