Leave the switchfire off and bump the sensitivity up to about 16. Also turn down the scroll speed to about 4-5 if the units is on the console and being used while motoring from spot to spot or turn it down to 2-3 if using it at the bow moving with the trolling motor. The picture with sensitivity set on 9 looks to be some brush/limbs on the bottom.

Current will help position bass in areas so they can more easily ambush bait. It can be a major factor at times in catching a good bag or zero. During the summer when the power demand goes up (everyone at home turns on a/c, uses more electricity) the dam's that use water to generate power release more water to keep up with the demand. When they release the water, current is formed both upstream and downstream from the dam. At times it can be like flipping on a switch, the bass will start biting that quick and when they shut the gates the bass can sometimes turn off that quick. However current can also be wind related and be just as good; mostly for shallow fish and not the deeper ones. I've never really thought that boat traffic made a significant change to turn on the fish, but I have seen times when boat traffic created a mud-line and I could catch fish from it easier.

I'm pulling for Ott and if he doesn't do it my second choice is A-Mart

Most boats I've seen are lucky to get 3-4mpg at WOT. I don't even try to think about what mine gets (Skeeter ZX225 with Yamaha 225HP)

Sounds and looks like a good deal to me. I'd also consider installing new fuel lines after purchasing do to the ethanol breaking down the older lines. Cheap insurance that may prevent some problems down the road. I'd also go over the bearings on the trailer like mentioned. Sharp boat

Use a small 4" finesse worm rigged weightless and twitch it/pause/twitch/twitch/pause

Who needs enemies when they have friends like you!!! ;D j/k sounds like one of "THOSE" days

Sorry, thats supposed to SX190 not SK190

Just wondering what kind of boats all you guys own? Just a brief explanation of make, model, year, motor, HP, and electronic equipment on board. I'll start 2002 Skeeter SK190 Yamaha 150 HP Lowrance Electronics Garmin GPS Motorguide (soon to be a Minn Kota; I despise MG)

I would have to say cranking, specifically a medium diving Bandit would be my favorite lure and one that always seems to catch fish. I can put it on heavy line and fish it shallow, or put it on lighter line and get down a little deeper than normal. It caters to the appetite of a hungry fish, but can also be used as a reaction bait when the fish are alittle sluggish.

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I've been fishing since I was old enough to cast, but have been exclusively bass fishing for the last 10 years or so. Most of my home lakes are highland reservoirs but I have fished in other types of water also. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up some tips from you all, and maybe even help you out with some of my knowledge. Later ;D
