looking to buy my second set of deep cycle bateries on my boat. i have stock interstates. What have you all found to be the best batteries? Any cheap places to get them. oh and yes they will be used alot!

We will be putting in at the kentucky lake boat ramp.

Anyone know what Hyco Lake in NC is doing right now? i know its heated but i have never been there. Curious if that might be the place to go catch some warmer fish.

I am coming to Kentucky lake/Lake barkley on the first week of may. its the first time for me coming to these lakes and was hoping for some suggestions on what to exspect, parts of the lakes to look at and where to start. I know there maybe beding fish but was hoping to may find something different??????????? Any advise will be appreciated. Also is there any other sights i should check out?

Does anyone know of any tournaments on the third and fourth of may on Smith Mountian Lake VA? I think there is a ranger cup. Any others?

What takle or techniques do you all use for fishing deep or shallow docks?

What flourocarbons work for you all the best on spinning reels? What do you all do to over come the stiffness of the flourocarbons on the spinning reels? Or do you all just not us Flourocarbon on your spinning reels? I have been trying to use flouro on my spinning reels but i am just not having much luck. I tried 8 lb halo but it seemed to break real easy at the point were a loop was pulled out. So i went to 10lb and its just to stiff. Input please?

I also fished the SML tournament and heres my report. Being a nearby resident of SML i knew that the water temp. had been up and down the last few weeks. So i figured the fish were just off the docks and staging on points waiting to come up. After three days of practice I had planned on fishing points due to the quality of the fish i was catching and knowing the docks would be pounded hard by every other boat and fisherman. Throughout the three day practice I never caught a short fish but the first cast of the tournament i caught a short fish and I knew this wasnt going to be a good day. So i ran my milk run of points twice before noon and realized something wasnt right. After cruising through some pockets on the trolling motor I realized all my fish went shallow after seeing the first cruising fish i had seen all year. But by this time it was to late. I blame my 0s on the score board on my own ignorance and lack of kinowledge. This is a fast changing sport. One that can change over night and if you do not know how to adjust you will get whipped every time.

Well Congatulations on your great finish!!!!!!!! I am glad someone had a great tournament. By the way the Diawa Spinning reel works great on the Carrot stix and the Curado now has flouro on it. Great Flipping Rod. Also most of the creeks are now muddy due to the rain last night.

thanks for all the input. For reference the water color is fairly clear with visibility around 6 feet. I do also agree that its the fisherman not the lure. So slow drags work better? Anyone else on how to work the jig?

Prespawn is here and with the fish staging what is a good jig color to use early in the Spring. The lake i am fishing is known to be a great jig lake but i havent been able to catch anything with them yet. I belive it sould be due to the size and color i am using. What do you all suggest?
