Re: Holder Ford Tournament Namge Change and Info

Ed,

Is there a maximum on the boat number for this event?
Can you inform of the past years participation. I have done this a few times many years ago and am curious what the draw has been lately.

I can see it now....the Alabama/California rigs flyin with three/five hudds

I agree that the spider grub is a good choice now. I would also look a little deeper. Two weeks ago the best fish (15 to 18") were 15 to 40' and they would take about anything I tossed at them during mid day. I would have tried a spoon too and I think it would have been an outstanding since the...

Re: Changing outboard impellar?

While under warranty it's a good idea to change every year. I have mine replaced ever spring (PRO XS 250). Just good insurance plus a check up by the mechanic never hurts. When warranty is up , and if I am not in another newer boat, I will be doing my own maintenance.
