I pull my boat to the lake with a Nissan Titan. I lvoe the power and space of that truck.

I keep a few microfiber towels on the boat and dry it down and rub off any scum before leaving the parking lot. It only takes a few minutes but the boat stays looking new.

I've got a Stratos and love it.

You can apply that analogy to about anything.... Just remember when you were in your teens or 20's, always on the move, eating like a horse and never gaining weight. Now (in my case), the metabolism is slowing down, the joints feel like crap, and it takes me a while to get going.

Awww man, now I feel like I got hosed. Well, it didn't break the bank, but I could have gotten some more "stuff" instead.

Well, I have to hand it to these guys. My PowerPro Plus20 battery charger shorted out on my a while back. I called the company to see what they would do since it was well out of warranty. They prorated a new 3 bank PowerPro Plus for only $85, no questions asked. I like that I just plug my boat in and leave it. The trickle charge is awesome and it works great.

Recirculate when you are moving with the big motor. When you stop to fish and the water is clean pull in fresh. There are plenty of additives you can use also. Some guys use salt to irritate the fish's skin so that they will produce more slime. Add some ice in hot weather.

I don't think it's a lamprey. They will attach themselves to the outside and have a round mouth with radial teeth all the way around. I don't know what that thing you have is.

I went fishing the day before my wife was going to be induced for labor. And just this morning she came in and asked me who was leading the Classic. I asked her if it mattered if I told her the guys name but she kept asking questions. Cool.

And finally... I already have a Stratos and love it. I just don't have this Stratos!

And...

The Skeeter and Basscat are nice but my favs are...

Gotta agree with Basser89 on that. I'm getting ready to buy 2 of them. 480x480 pixels is some serious resolution.

I've got a 2000 Stratos 17 Vindicator with a Johnson 150. I pull it with a 2004 Nissan Titan LE.

I had one years ago that was no where nearly that detailed. It kinda sucked. The one you are asking about is almost photo quality, it even looks like a shadow is in it. I haven't been able to really make out what it is imaging but it does look good.

I have 2000 Stratos 17 Vindicator with a Johnson 150 and my insurance is $280.00.

In the lake I fish shad are starting to ball up and be the main focus of bass. I hammer them all day long with a 1/8 Stanley Wedge spinnerbait. Also, small crankbaits and Rat-L traps work very well. The bass aren't really relating to the structure, just the huge balls of shad.

I usually wear my REVO's with a blue mirror. They were pretty high, $250, but I only have 1 pair of eyes. Otherwise I'm wearing Maui Jim's.

I almost never use a trailer. I have a ton of them along with trailer hooks......they always stay in my spinnerbait bag.

I think it depends on the time of year for open water, along with the kind of structure. In my home lake the bass are gearing up to relate to the huge shad balls that will form around the end of the month. They relate heavily to the shad so the bait is the key. Other times I really like to hit a drop off or creek channel for good open water fishing.

I tow my '00 Stratos with an '04 Nissan Titan. Can't even feel the boat.

Oh wow, that came out way too huge.

Here ya go
