Hey everyone. Just wanted to open up a topic for discussion about Beaverdam In Glocester VA. Fished there a few times and caught a few decent fish. Just wanna hear what everyone has to say about the lake and see what baits worked for you. I've had success and really only a Trick Worm on a T-Rig so curious how everyone else has done at this lake!

Awesome! Thanks for all the info! I'm actually going up there for a tournament so the bigger the better! This is some great advice for someone new to targetting smallies! I really appreciate it! I'll have to pick some of those up and give it a shot! I love fishing swimbaits especially underspins so I'll keep this in mind! Appreciate it once again!

Thanks appreciate it! Its supposed to warm up here in the next week so hopefully the water warms up. Already planning on having a Ned Rig tied on.

Sure does thanks! Ill give it a try. I'm new to smallmouth fishing so anything helps!

Hey everyone. I am going to be taking a trip to New River this weekend. Never been there also never strictly targeted smallmouth bass before. If anyone has any info on where to fish, baits to throw, how to fish, water clarity, current, literally anything relating to New River would be helpful. Thanks everyone. Tight lines!

Nope but I am thinking about that same unit. I agree the price is crazy good so I'm curious just how good the sonar is. Thinking about picking one up. A 9in is $800

I just saw a YouTube video showing the different types of poles you can use for a power pole and they weren’t all factory made. So I would assume you have some options when it comes to what length you want

I believe thats what a power pole is. And I had that same thought it would be useful. I fish places with lots of low bridges and even if I put the 8ft fiberglass pole down all the way I am still not sure I could get under it. It would be nice to have a variety of lengths for different situations.

I just sent him an email. I've been looking at his products for awhile. I was planning on getting one orignally when I was gonna get a Feel Free Lure but now that I decided on the Radar I hope he comes out with one for it. He does have a model for the Radar! I didn't see it LOL. I was looking for it to say 115/135 next to it but it just says Radar. I will definitely have to get one

10 would be perfect. I will have to see if Burnie will come out with a version for the Radar. I would definitely by that over the Power Pole. Its probably just as good and way more affordable.

What is the length of the pole? If its longer than a Micro Power Pole then I'm sold on it. I know the Power Pole is 8ft. I would like one that is around 10 for rivers.

I am definetly getting at least a 7. I'm only 16 and work only when I can so it all depends on my budget when it comes time to get it. Hoping to do good in tournaments this year so I have some extra funds for it. I have seen the River Stick. The only problem with it is they don't make it for a WS Radar 115. Hopefully by the time I come to get it they will. Does it actually hold you anchored well? I mostly will be using it during bed season and on rivers. Thanks for the advice. I am not too knowledgeable when it comes to depth finders but the more I fish especially in the winter so far I have used it tremendously. I am slowly catching on to all the fancy tech involved with them.

I was reading an article that said it only works when you are moving and that when you're sitting still it is almost unreadable. Considering I know guys with side scan units I figured it was wrong so thats why I asked. I know you can adjust the read speed so I'm sure I can set it to the speed of paddling or practically sitting still. And I currently plan on getting a 7 or a 9. My dad has a hook 7 on his kayak and I feel like that's plenty for me. But the 9 also seems like it would be totally worth it.

Awesome thanks for the advice! I'm saving up for it for next year. Gonna be fishing for a chance at qualifying for the KBFNC and wanna upgrade all my equipment. Got a new yak coming on Friday and gonna work little by little to add a new depth finder and power pole micro!

Hey everyone. I am getting heavy into kayak fishing this year and want to upgrade to a new depth finder. I am planning on getting a Lowrance Elite 7. I was curious is side scan worth it?? Its only $100 more for the side scan model but some people have told me it doesn't work well on a kayak and I know others who use it. I could use the feedback. Thanks!
