We went fishing in a pond/small lake at my friends house. His community maintains four or five lakes and green spaces where you can fish. I took my 10-year old down there and he had a ball. I was glad he had fun because the last four times we went fishing he hadn't caught anything. I think...

I had an old guy tell me to take a piece of alkaseltzer and put it in a sleeve lure. He said the bubble piss the bass off and they "attack." Have you guys ever heard anything like this?

I have an older narrow 12' aluminum boat. I am much heavier than my son. Is it better to have more weight in the back near the transom or in the middle/front? Since we tumped it over, I want to make sure before we get back out. I have the trolling motor on the back, but I can mount it on the...

I have a 12' aluminum boat. I'd say that we will be around 450lbs - 500lbs with two people, battery, gear etc. The boat is rated for 550lbs (or 650 couldn't read the tag very well), so we are going to be close to the max weight. Here's the question. I picked up a Motor Guide Trolling motor for...

I ran my trailer lights last night. The tail lights (when head lights are on) don't work. I found out it was because I don't have the white wire ground. My trailer is galvanized so how should I ground it. Do I need to sand the area down that I am grounding too?

I fished in Hickory Creek near old Alton Bridge Tuesday for about 4 hours. There were around 20 people fishing up and down the creek a different times I was there. I ended up switching to live bait to see if I could get anything. I got nothing. There was one guy there who caught two small mouth...

What type of trailer lights are recommended? I've seen some reviews about lights that go bad after a couple of weeks. Which brand did you use and would you recommend them?

10 years ago I'd just pull the battery out of my car and use it for my trolling motor. Now that I'll have my son with me I don't want to get stranded, so what is the best way to charge a marine battery? Do I need to get a special battery charger? Thanks, P

I did three coats of thompson's water seal on the wood that will become my transom. Now that it is too late I have a question. Can I paint over the wood that has been water sealed, or did I need to do that before hand?

I just finished wiring up my trailer lights on my '98 Ford Windstar, while I was down there we ran 8 gauge wire to a batter box that sits under my storage area on the back of the van. I was planning on using that so that I could recharge the battery for my trolling motor. After we had everything...

She made me an angel and it was absolutely perfect. My wife thought it was great. I highly recommend this sponsor to all of you guys. The thing that is great is that she has pictures on her website, so you don't have to be creative to pick out something nice. Thanks to Tiffany! --- P

I have drilled out about 8 rivets to be replace with bolts around and on the transome. The question is do I need to use rubber washers to make sure I get a good water seal, or what should I use? This is on an aluminum boat. The bolts I am using are stainless steel. Thanks, P

1. What is the best type of wood to use to replace the rotted piece I just took off of my transom.

Has anyone ever camped and fished at Cooper Lake in Cooper, Texas? How is the lake and the area? I've heard it is a nice park and a good place to fish. P

Hey Guys, before you start laughing. I have fished with a zebco 33 classic since I was about 8 years old. Now 25-years later I still have an old Zebco that my son uses, but I need to get an new reel. So what type of reel do you guys recommend? I want it to be simple because I am going to have...

I found out this 12' Aluminum boat is made by K Craft with I am guessing is an old Kmart Boat. The first question is in regards to replacing the Transom. I circled in the photo, two rivets. Should I replace those with bolts? The other question is in the picture I have arrows pointed at it...

I just bought a late 70s era 12' flat bottom. I leak checked it last night (filled it with water on saw horses) and I found three slow rivet leaks and the drain hole leaked fast (yes I had the plug in). Here are the questions. 1. Is there something better for me to use than drilling out the...
