Wow. I'm amazed that this thread is still going. I had to sell my tracker a couple of years ago and have been basically out of bass fishing since then. I've decided to start over by pulling my old 10 foot Pelican out and rebuilding her into a mini-bass hunting machine. I found this thread while googling a way to add a rudder to my boat. I read the whole thing from page 48 to page 1 before realizing that I was the first person to respond to the original question back in 2010. I haven't been on the site in over a year, but am glad to be back and am blown away by all of the mods that people have done to their bass raiders. Keep up the great work! I'm definitely going to be using some of these in my own design.

Thanks man. It was good to get out. With the two kids and my work schedule I can't fish as nearly as often as I used too. It's good to get on the water every once and awhile.

Thanks Jay. I made this quick video of my trip with my boy and my good friend Dunphy Enjoy

Took the 4 year old out for his first real fishing trip at my secret spot. I ended up with a solid 3 pounder, but the highlight of the day was when the little guy landed a 2lb smallie on his tiny zebco rod. He landed that fish like a boss.

I'm a senior investment specialist. Basically an assistant manager at an brokerage firm.

Here's how I set up my basement. This was in 09. Since these were taken, there have been just a "few" new bait and bags added to the walls.

Awesome Shane! I may not have caught fish yesterday, but I did snag a crazy deal at walmart. They had a KVD signature series rod mis-priced for $29.00. And then when it ran up, it was only $17!!! Not everyday I get a $160 rod for $17. Tight lines everyone.

Yeah, I got out today for about 5 hours in a friend's canoe. We caught 2 crappie and 1 bass....little over 1lb It was slow going. The only thing we got hits on was a jerkbait fished reeaaallly slow.

Wow, it's been a long time since I've been around these board. I basically took the last couple years off from fishing, but hope to be back this year. Heading out tomorrow with a friend for the first trip of the season. Weather looks good, and I have my rods ready to go.

Just a heads up, if you fish the fidelity Pond in Merrimack, security will kick you off. Even if you are an employee there you can only fish it on Sundays. Also that pond has the smallest bass I have ever seen. I mean there are hundreds of them, but they are all tiny little minnows.

Hey guys, Just wanted to post here that I am selling my 2002 Tracker custom bass boat. I listed it in the flea market- it's over in Epsom right now if anyone wants to take a look- just pm me and I'll give you my phone number to set up a time. Asking 4700. Sad to see it go but we are looking to maybe build a house and I could use the money. Can't get good photos to post so email me at charlesgoodwinjr@hotmail.com if you want some good pics of the boat.

Going to have to bail on the get together. It's going to be a tough year for fishing this year I think. The job is taking up alot of time, and with the new baby and the three year old, I just don't have the ability to take of for a day of fishing as often as I have in the past. Hope everyone does well out there

I'm 90% sure I'll be able to make it. I won't have an extra seat.

What's the official date again? did we decide on one? Stumpfield is fine by me.

Sup guys! I would love to come but wouldn't be able to make it on a friday. Either Sat or thursday would be the only days I can make it. I've got to start getting everything ready for the season. It's just around the corner
