endless Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 didnt get chance to fish the lakes this weekend bc had others things i had to get done....but did see about 4-5 boats head down that way each day this weekend. I live on the same road as the lakes so aint nothing to ride down and wet a line for lil while. Lakes should be starting to turn on with these temps rising! does the lake have a dock number or name so I can type it in for directions? I think I found it online before but not to sure. Quote

Bigs Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 sweet rig endless. I have one with a 6hp and a trolling motor that was recently gifted to me. The trailer is a POS tho and not good for long hauls. If I could commit to this then Id fill that back seat and give u some pointers on the foot control. Not sure im gonna make this or not tho. Might wanna bring an anchor incase it gets windy and ur on top of fish. Yes I said anchor, no shame in using one when bass fishing Quote

If you think you can I'll hold the seat for you. Just get at me and let me know. I finally got my Va numbers on the boat with registration stickers. I replace that depth finder in the pic with a humminbird. Quote
Reel_Kaotic Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 @endless: I noticed that you have a removable seat in the the rear of your Jon. Wanted to put one on mine's for the front seat, which is too high, plus it make it easier for me to go out by myself. Is worth getting? Quote

The pedestals are nice too like I have up front. I can take off the seat or pop out the whole pedestal. I take it off when I'm pulling the pulling the boat. Quote
Reel_Kaotic Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 If everything works out right, I'm going to scoop up some clamps and seats. Nothing fancy, but much more comfortable. Quote

BPS has the BPS tournament pro low back seat on sale for $39.97 originally $44.99. These are the ones that the flyer has on sale. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_10205158_225008001_225000000_225008000?cmCat=CROSSSELL_PRODUCT Depending on what your trying to spend but I would definitely not buy those the cheap plastic ones especially if you will be raising your seat up. Ha ha last year I almost went over board from the bolts holding my seat on snapped. I did look at the one's at walmart, The plastic one with padding but I'm not sure the bolting area was just plastic or if had a metal insert. I just feel safer with those. Walmart does seem cheaper though so I would check their first. They sell the clamps too. I was going to pick me up another battery but i might get the bunk style board guide on at BPS. They got em for $99.97. That would definitely make it easier pulling my boat back up the trailer by hand since I don't have a wrench and won't have to worry about the boat falling in between the boards no more. Can I get something like this cheaper else where? http://www.basspro.com/Shipshape%E2%84%A2-Bunk-Board-GuideOn-Kit/product/1071/-332442 Quote
Reel_Kaotic Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I have no guides on mine, but I do have a wrench, which I purchased from walmart last year for around $30-40. Way more strength I would need for a Jon. I am considering adding pvc pipes as guides to help correct the rear when loading. I usually drive it up the trailer, lock the wrench cable and straighten once it's out the water. I haven't seen them anywhere else cheaper, you try Green Top? The seats I'm getting are used, luckily not ripped or torn. Basic cushion seats with clamps already attached. Someone found them at home and now getting rid of them. They'll replacing the cheaper plastics seats you referred to. I lost the thin padded cushion that was on them, and the seats are very weak for me. Quote
Aluma-Bass Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 do we have a head count for sat yet? jus curious... Quote
endless Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 From what I've read form weather.com there is a 30% chance of rain is that going to stop anyone? I have a rain suit so I'm prepared, lol. @Kaotic1- Yea I went to BPS and picked out some guide on's but for $69. The just just the one that stand up and adjust to the size of your boat. Hopefully they serve the purpose. Once I'm able to extend my trailer I might install a wrench on it. That's good on the seats and yea I hated those plain plastic seats. I just had the plain blue ones without the cushion. Quote
Reel_Kaotic Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Light rain or shine, I'm there. Don't think they're calling for heavy rain. The seats turned out to be ok, I lower the height as well. They're not pretty, but they make the ride more comfortable and make easier to move around. Eventually I'll get around to install some guides on my trailer. Quote
hookingem Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 I have work at 1 so I have to be off the water by 11:30ish. So let's get a list of who all is going to be there on Saturday, and we said upper at 7? Quote
Aluma-Bass Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 i should be there with a buddy of mine.... Quote
vegas679 Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Cant make it. The one weekend day a month that my wife has to work. I'm on baby duty. Catch you all next time. Quote
SimonSays Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Can't make it either. I was there today, water was pretty muddy. About 1ft of visibility, surface water temp around noon was ~54. I only caught 1 pickerel off a jerk bait. Quote
Bigs Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 water on lake anna isnt muddy at all, wonder why tho. I even caught a few 1 pounders off my dock today. There were 13-16 inch bass swimming all around my dock, I must have seen two dozen at least. Wish I had a boat cuz I could have slammed 'em today on shakeyheads. Dont think Im gonna make it out to the meet and greet either. Too busy of a weekend. Quote
