Dale. you're a peach of a guy and the information came in very very useful!!! And guess what, it worked like a charm!!! I started the motor and let it idle in a high bucket full of water, shut it down and 10 min. later started it again - no choke. It was laid on the ground (with handle up as...

Thanks I'll get one.

You got that right and that includes boat size. Heck - size isn't everything. ;)

Would love to see your creations!

FuzzyGrub Nice baits and single-pour molds BTW! Bet those baits caught a bunch! Try my idea of cutting a part from one of your lures and welding it to another using a candle flame, finishing by smoothing the seam using a soldering iron. You won't be sorry! (plus, I'll most likely steal your...

How to check compression?

I hate sitting in my flat bottom or V-bottom boats with my knees higher than my belt. So, I bought a step stool, put holes in the bases of each leg, drilled 4 holes in the aluminum boat seat using the stool holes as guides and when needed, push the screws into each hole so the seat stays put. 4...

To continue: Crappie Magnet tail added to a grub body: Mo Magic injection poured lure with flat tail: All those lure creators of the past didn't believe their creations represented anything to fish, but in order to mass produce and sell those lures, they had to come up with...

What blows me away are the shapes and actions that look like nor move like anything fish has ever seen or sensed (lat. line). I prove that every day throwing bits of bread to 2 doz. sunfish as well as 8 small turtles that line up on shore. They go berserk near the surface competing for those...

You've described me to a T!

You and me both! Okay, so here goes as it pertains to using a spincast reel with braid. 1. The reel cap must have a large hole. Too small and the line catches as it unwinds from the internal spool. example of small aperture reel: example of the right size aperture: Walmart sent me the...

My recent reply to the same desire expressed to catch certain fish species: You said it all right there! The right lures used the proper way in the right location(s) always have the potential of catching whater has gills and fins from 4lb suckers to the smallest fish you ever caught. The more...

Wish we lived closer. Will try your full throttle open next time - maybe this week at the lake. Thanks for your input.

I post quite a few of my catches on different forums. They always include shots of lures I've made or modified that I know I can count on once I've found fish that can be provoked to strike. Making lure choices based on existing prey is a waste of time IMHO; choosing lures based on presentation...

Will consider using starter fluid. Have yet to put in Stabil for the winter.

Nice catches! What kind of lures do you make? Mine are soft plastics.

The motor was bought this year and hasn't been used except for a few outings where it wouldn't start the second time. No fun having to use the trolling motor to get back to the launch 1/2 mi. away. I was told to not choke the motor even after 30 minutes and that it should start. We'll see.

I used to mostly target bass. Tournament fishing got old after 10 years and I sold the bass boat once the motor died and there was no one near to fix it. Tournaments and bass fishing hype aside, I found it a challenge to catch all species and liked the challenge of feeling light strikes from any...

I know of only one angler that uses a spincast reel other than myself. I also carry spinning reels and for bass, a baitcaster. Braid for the latter two reels does fine retrieving 3/4 oz or heavier lures but not so much using spincast reels. Now, I realize most anglers would not use a spincast...

First off I paid too much for the motor. Second, I trusted the name. I had no idea that the motor would be difficult to start after the first time without following specific guidelines - namely: do not choke or the motor will flood. When the motor floods, the gas is trapped with nowhere to go...
