You work too hard for your money to give it to someone that treats you like dirt. Imagine what the service departments attitude is like there. Feel fortunate you found out before you bought the boat and move on.

Its really not so much a "new" rule as it is a reinforcment of the existing rule. You can't slide past 2nd base to take out the thrower. I don't think it's that outrageous. BUT.....They do need to enforce the second base MUST be touched rule also. The slide step that everyone uses for a double play is bogus. They aren't out if you don't touch the bag.

SE Wisconsin Big Cedar, Pewaukee, Lake Como, & Little Sturgeon Bay (Green Bay) are my favorite lakes to go. Don't get up to Door County but once or twice a year though. We are having a family Vacation in the Dells this year. Have a cabin on Lake Delton. It does look very big on map. Could use some tips for there and Lake WI.

Very cool

Keep them in fresh water and alive in live well when fishing. Ice them in a cooler on way home. They will fillet like a dream. Taste better too.

Docks,docks, and even more docks. Bluebird is my favorite day. It's time to pitch, flip, and skip docks. I've been skunked almost all day and then BOOM. I catch one or more off each dock. In a shore line of docks and pontoons. My second favorite way to fish below top water.

I think this happens more than any of us realize. Things I 've had success with. Down size bait Slow down Down size rod and line size Put on lighter weights Then if that doesn't work I do the exact opposite. Up size bait Speed bait up Use larger line so bait stays more buoyant. Put in a heavier or denser weight. Think of it like fishing a jerk bait which retrieve, how many pauses, and how long of pauses is the right combo. You have to try each one til you get a hook up.

Summer Craw Blue Black Falcon Lake My top three

Ask the storage place to supply electric. It won't be cheap. I pay $167 per month, electric included.

Can I recommend you foam fill under the flooring. They make a pourable foam. You have to lay the floor first and pour in 1" holes in floor. Use plastic squares to cover holes. Floor covering makes it all clean looking.

That's amazing. Really impressive. I have to agree on the price comments though. Probably 4-5 yrs before your average angler will own one. Technology is incredible though.

Have a Triton TX18. Bought it last year. Love it. Great fishing platform. You can easy fish two people on front deck. A LOT of storage. Mine is rigged with my 2010 Etec 90 hp. If I could have afforded a 115, I would have gone that route. Boat rides nice. Handles rough water pretty well, but your not going to be running all out. I've added a 6" JP to mine and I'm turning a 18 pitch prop at 43 mph. That gives me a comfortable cruising speed of 40 mph. Most 115 owners are in the 46-49 mph range. Ranger seems to be the popular version, but I think that's mostly dealer and name recognition. I liked the Triton dash better. All welded trailer. My dealer was willing to rig my motor. The only knock I give the hull is it can have porpoising issues. The factory tried to cure this by welding aluminum angles to the hull back by stearn. They are effective at helping control the handling, but caused most hulls to loose 2-3 mph. Adding a 6" JP and proping correctly is a better cure but the JP will void Hull Warranty if discovered. I believe you can now special order them without the trim angles and a 4" fixed set back plate.

So what are we seeing. Two bass under a school of shad? Is this Garmins version of SI?

dawn,dusk, heavy cloud cover days have worked for me in the past. Summer, the first thing I throw is a buzzbait to feel them out. If they are just following and not hitting then i go popper/walker type bait. If neither work I'm throwing a jig. Top waters are by far the most fun to me. Nothing gets your heart pumping like that big explosion and your rod loading up.

1) Trolling noise while shallow 2) Dropping a rod on the deck 3) working baits to fast

nice one

I guess this is where to start. Hello all. looking foward to talking some fishing.
