I believe that if you have the batteries load tested, a battery (the hot one most likely) will test bad. And if you jump on youtube, there are a ton of videos showing how to test your charger with a volt meter. Keep us posted.

I, too, just had to try the whole fluoro thing but also feel like I'm setting the hook with taffy. I've never missed/lost so many jig fish in my life. Went back to my braid = started sticking more fish. I may use fluoro on a treble hook bait but nothing that requires a hookset.

I feel color is more related to a particular body of water, and even more important to the weather/cloud cover than anything else. And as far as time of year, I believe the speed in which you work said jerkbait is more important than brand. I'm sorry I haven't directly answered your question but I just hammer them in the spring on a good 'ol Rapala Husky Jerk...nothing fancy.

Anything "Marine" related is twice as much as it should be. "Marine" cleaner wax = $16...Maguires cleaner wax "for a car" = $4.99...and the list goes on and on. The marine industry rapes us every day. There is absolutely no reason these motors should cost this much.

Welcome my fellow Bassin Mainiac!!

Glad to hear a good update man!

^^^Gotcha, after a not-so-great guide experience on Falcon, I would have some tips on choosing a guide.

I have a sister in Forest Hill, nice area. Not sure where that is in relationship to you but welcome to BR.

Are you going to hire a guide, tow your own rig or find a rental boat there?

How does it do my uni to uni and my Modified Albright??? JK, looks like a pretty useful tool in certain conditions, cold being one of them. Wish I had invented it.

It certainly could be a bad charger, if it's overcharging. Is it a 2 bank? 3 Bank? Do you charge them separately with a single charger?

So you catch a fish on this; what color trap do you say you caught it on?

Nice fish man! I love a good trap bite. I remember a day last year when the bite was tough; only 1 here, 1 there for my buddy and I. Well I picked up a new color of trap I had just bought, tied it on and my buddy was asking me for the other one I had after about 15 minutes. Literally, it was like flipping a switch and we ended up catching the bejeeses outta them the rest of the day. Not saying a trap will always produce like that but when a trap bite is on, it's on!

After years and years of seeing tons of shows, the last 2 were pretty special for me. First, I took my 16 yr old son to Judas Priest Epitaph tour at the Tsongas Center on U Mass campus. The Priest is both of our favorite groups and to have him see them for the last time for us both was a very special night. And second, last year I got the opportunity to go on the tour bus with Jeff Keith, front man, and Troy Luccketta, drums, from Tesla. Long story, but my sister's Mother In Law is good friends with Troy so we got to hang out with them before the show; their manager walked us to the sound booth before the show to hang from there; and of course the after show party with the rest of the band. Great night! Kinda bummed the pics were not great but they still remind me of a good time.

You would want the most updated, matching ducer for the new unit anyway. edited: Thanks Wayne!

Well I see a few of you haven't seen CNN for a few days...or the news...or listened to the radio. It's just a little fun guys; have some fun, lighten up you're gonna die early.

Well my pb in Maine (where I have lived for the last 31 yrs) is 6-1. I took a trip to Falcon a couple yrs back and caught a 7-9. So, no, I have not got one close to that yet....yet.

Yup yup. Great if you shoot one day, know you are going to shoot again soon so you don't want to do a full take-down, run the snake through a couple three times and wait for the next shoot.

Winner winner chicken dinner! You may have a bad cell causing the battery to boil, causing a sulfur smell from that battery.

Not sure how many of you are up on this huge, huge debate spreading across the country, but apparently some people see this dress as black and blue and some see it as white and gold...the same dress. So, could a bass see my blk/blu jig as wht/gold? http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/thedress-colour-debate-draws-a-spectrum-of-expert-academic-views-1.2975926 As for me, I see the dress on the left as white and gold and the one on the right as black and blue. You?

I fish pretty green water so I don't need a leader for visibility issues but braid has no abrasion resistance on rock and all of my water is rocky, so...

Well, I'm in southern Maine and I see water getting soft around the second week of April. Not unless some sun/rain Gods shine on us in March.

So sorry to hear about your father. It's nice to have those memories. I have very similar ones.

No, it's not me. I catch fish like this only in my dreams... edit: I just looked up Wisconsin's record and it's 9-1! Did they blow a shot at the record? Sorry if repost
