    Storage site for photos and posting on-line

    IMGUR.COM is an on-line site I store many of my fishing and boating related photos. It use to have a photo editor but now only has a photo resize option and way to title the photo to see when the cursor is held over the photo. No charge to store photos or videos unlike Photobucket.com, and...

    Tackle storage

    Something similar I bought at Harbor Freight. (also on-line) The clear plastic boxes have different compartment sizes - one with none that I've even found a way to store all of my light ball head jigs: For $8.99 plus tax/shipping, not a bad way to store soft plastics and some crankbaits. Even...

    Pouring your own is nice - creating hybrids from lures owned is more fun!

    The reason I experiment with soft plastics is to understand the basics of why fish strike and alternative designs that work just as well. It's helped me disprove color concepts, find lure designs that excel, a lure size range for all species, various lure presentations and lure speed...

    Decided to go finesse

    I've used bass tackle for most of my life but decided to go ultra light to catch all species. Jig head max weight rarely exceeds 1/16 oz and most lures used are soft plastic that are less than 3" in length. Nice is being able to pour my own lures or modify many of the soft plastic lures already...

    way to add a bow-mount, hand controlled trolling motor

    I own an old bass boat and when the trolling died, I couldn't see spending over $650 for a bow mount tm and in fact had one in the garage I never use. After checking out bow mounts for sale, I ordered one from Amazon but first checked customer comments beforehand. Since this heavy boat can only...

    Pouring your own is nice - creating hybrids from lures owned is more fun!

    Pouring your own has it's advantages: 1. softness desired based on plastisol bought 2. infinite color choices 3. never running out needing me to order, as well as the costly s/h costs, delays in shipping, etc. 4. variety of designs (molds) and sizes as well as unique designs sold nowhere or that...

    KASTKING SUPERPOWER BRAID

    Best braid I've ever cast. I even use it in my Daiwa Silvercast 100A spincast reel and can cast a light jig over 40'. spinning - over 57 Though I use 6# test/2 # diameter, the line is abrasion resistant and I can pull my boat to a snag to release a lure. I thought I would need a fluorocarbon...

    Awe Man, the fishing is slow this year.

    Fishing shut down a week ago in two waters I fish. Fish most likely have relocated but are still catchable on the light lures I use. Just a matter of finding them.

    How to find leak in old Sears jon boat

    Way back when Sears sold aluminum boats, 11.5' to be exact, the drain was welded to the bottom of the boat. Pretty dumb if you ask me considering the amount of dragging to launch or put the boat in the back of the truck (no trailer). What's happened is a split in the metal cylinder that hold the...

    portable transducer mount

    Other than having to drill holes to mount a transducer bracket or mount it to the trolling motor, I came up with this idea a few years ago: Get one of these dollar store door wreath hangers or some other thin flat metal: Cut it and bolt it to a board: At the bottom, mount a board that's wide...
