Ya why bring it. Its just extra un needed weight in the boat plus there can be no question of whether or not you used something besides a frog.

ScottyJ

I have a few ideas for trolling motors that I would like to see implemented in a new trolling motor someday that I don't believe have been explored yet and was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how I could go about proposing them to Minn Kota or who I would contact? Thanks

Scott

ScottyJ

I want to say a big thanks to Jim. My armature bent on my Minnkoa and he got the new armature ordered and swapped it out with all new bearings, bushings and seals so that the thing runs better now than it did when it was brand new. Not to mention he was able to get it covered under warranty for me s...

ScottyJ

Holy F ing smokes!!! I wet myself looking at the pic! That's like a pitbull bass on steroids. That's an awesome catch dude way to go. Get a mount made.
With that dot on the side its the new Dotty!!!

ScottyJ

Those look like the Plano adjustable prolatch boxes. I have a few and they work great.

Scott

ScottyJ

I just went thru a similar situation. I have the dual pro 3 bank charger and I always top em off before I go out then charge em full before I store it for next trip. First check all connections and make sure they are clean and tight. Maybe switch em around and see if it makes a difference. If not ta...

Ya Delta Outdoors, in the back of the shop on the wall by the t-shirts.

ScottyJ

It appears as tho my prop shaft on my minnkota is bent. Anyone had experience with this happening? Is it easy to swap out? Thanks

ScottyJ

Thanks Mike that's all I was looking for was some constructive advise. I never eluded that u were saying anyone should hire you, that was Gator. I would love to hire a guide but as in my previous reply I had a bad experience that I can't justify dropping that kind of $$$ right now. That's why myself...

ScottyJ

I'm not being a hater it was just a question. I have been fishing and I fished the BBBC and it WAS tough. Since he's such a great delta fisherman maybe Mike could give some real advice besides hire a guide since the majority of people on here seem to be having some troubles right now. Many people in...

Mike wrote:The Delta is only tough if you dont understand it. I suggest hiring a guide to help you. Its really not that tough out right now.

If it's not tough Mike, then why didnt you fish it and win hundreds or thousans of dollars and a new truck?

ScottyJ

Hey Rog what camera u use for those? That pic of the frog is sweet!

ScottyJ

I'm not sure bout "wraping" cars but I'm pretty sure JasonC has had some experience with small farm animals. Sorry dood couldn't resist. If id said who I wanted to he woulda cried so all I could think of was u.

ScottyJ

I need to get my trolling motor batteries tested to see if they are still adequate. I was wondering where a good place is to take them and anything special I need to do before I take em in? just have em fully charged? Thanks

Scott

ScottyJ

From what I hear it' Cooch's scale

ScottyJ

If you have a boat contact riverguy225. His name is brandon and was gonna fish it but had his boat stolen. Tell him scott johnson said to contact him.

ScottyJ

Hey Bucksnort why stay away from Carlisle? I've had em on my ski boat and heard good things about them. You have bad experience?

ScottyJ

They found my muscles? I knew they'd turn up somewhere

ScottyJ

Hey WormFisher I think you just created the next RI color. Malignant Melanoma!!!!

Sorry couldn't resist

ScottyJ

Nah dude u gotta do the supercharged 383 stroker with a 6spd and don't forget the hitch to tow ol green

ScottyJ

44" super swampers!!!

I run BFG All Terrains and have never had a problem even on the steep stuff and they lasted 50k miles[/img]

ScottyJ

My question is why was Mike spending the time looking at this? Man crush

ScottyJ

Hope he sings better than he catches fish

Sorry dude couln't resist

ScottyJ

I used 20lb power pro braid on my spinning setups and use Trilene 100%fluoro for leaders. Worls great.

ScottyJ

Also spray wd40 or oil on the release mechanism, spring etc. and that will help a lot with how hard u have to pull to get it to unlock so u can pull it up. That was how mine broke and darn near launched my butt into the water. After I retied it and sprayed it the thing is better than new.

ScottyJ

Just use some of the rubber coated steel braided cable you can buy from any hardware store. It'll be a one time deal, look good and never break.

ScottyJ

O ya good point. I do still have my crankin stick and spinnerbait rod spooled with straight fluoro, thats a must. Otherwise all braid with leader.

ScottyJ

Ive got all my setups done with braid and tie on leaders as needed. I use the tony pena knot and have had great success thus far. Its a little harder to tie using the lighter leaders but once you get the hang of it its awesome. Do a search for it and theres lots of how to diagrams and videos on how ...

ScottyJ

Ya I've got all my setups spooled with braid including my spinning reels cuz i fish the Delta and the lakes. I tie on 8, 10 or 12 lb fluoro leader with a tony pena knot and have had no issues. Even been doing it on my heavy jig rigs with heavier big game leader on the delta. Plenty of sensitivity an...

ScottyJ

Yea you can get some smokin' deals on all the stolen stuff on there

ScottyJ

Anyone know how it went?

ScottyJ

Orwood has camping and boat slips

ScottyJ

Coochs house and jump off his dock

ScottyJ

Oops just got a better look at it. See it has fins and some detail work. Looks good. Does he have one in watermelon/red flake

ScottyJ

What other lures and/or techniques is the 805CB good for? I've been eying this rod for some time, but don't throw DD22s and the like a whole lot, although it's something I've really wanted to get into for post-spawn and Summer bass. Any crank bait, rattle trap, jerbait. Spinneerbait or small swinba...

ScottyJ

Looks like a mission fish with treble hooks no?

ScottyJ

Or get in touch with one of the many Dobyns Rod staffers and meet em on the water that way u can test a variety of them.

ScottyJ

Ya Greg no mens room action but feel free to wear em in the womens room whenever possible.

Not only that but u also can barely tell that ur crankin a big chunk of plastic 20 ft deep. Feels like ur just realing in a senko.

ScottyJ

Dude thats just BADA$$!!! Way to go Guyle. Live it up.

ScottyJ

Not saying i'm having problems with the power of mine, just thinking outside the box. Theres nothing wrong with the basic car engine either, but people are constantly building or fabricating parts that reduce rotating mass to gain more power/performance, and have much success in doing that. If you t...

ScottyJ

Ya I saw the Kipawa when I did some searching but that is the only one I could find. I am curious though as to if there is a 2 blade performance type prop. The Kipawa is a 3 blade and with that third blade has more rotating mass. I may give it a try but am really interested to find a 2 blade with a ...

ScottyJ

As stated in this and other posts these elite guys better not be relying on one spot to win the tourny. If i'm on a spot and catching em' during the WRL they can fish after I'm done or go somewhere else. Just because I don't make a living at it doesn't mean times aren't tough for everyone. The fact ...

ScottyJ

SHHHHH Dom you're giving away our secrets. KB might catch on and learn how to catch frog fish huh Jason

ScottyJ

I have a 24V Minnkota 65lb thrust. Not sure the exact model, but I was asking as a general question as Im sure if anyone makes these they would have one to fit all models.

ScottyJ

Anybody?

ScottyJ

Anybody use the Aqua-Vu or any other under water camera on the Delta? just wondering if they work in the murky water or if they are only worth using in clear water.

ScottyJ

Anyone use an aftermarket t.m. prop? I had mine off to clean grass off the shaft and decided to put a clean sharp edge on the prop with my dremel since it was pretty chewed up and got me thinking... The prop is failry heavy and bulky especially for an electric motor. Now granted it has to be strong ...

ScottyJ

Good info guys...
Kevin does the costco there carry the D31 also or just the D34s?

I'm up by the Delta and the Costco here only carries the 34's. I'll have to go talk to them and see if they can get the 31s also.

Thanks!!
Scott
