Re: Best warm and waterproof gloves for fishing?

I tried the some nitrile gloves last winter, but my hands just got wet with sweat in them and felt just as cold or colder lol. Are you nitrile/wool wearing guys not having issues with moisture build up inside the glove?

Re: Upgraded to HDS 8's Gen 2 Wiring questions

Remember to always use a fuse on the power (red) lead when running a new power cable to one of your units. I would use 10 or 12 gauge wire so you have plenty of juice. I am planning up a system like Ken was describing here. I read somewhere else that you should match the wire gauge when extending t...

I think the rule helps portray a level of respect for the fish that is not shown by all anglers The ever popular 'swing a fish and drop it hard on the deck and have it flop around' is definitely not a good image for the sport. Especially if it adds another reason for any libtard 'fishing is cruel' f...

Even just blue gravel and a some form of a blue background film may add the effect you are looking for.

I have the opportunity to score some gift cards. Eventually going to buy a new trolling motor or electronics. Is there much of a difference price wise between the two? Better historic sales? Better service? Any insight would be appreciated.

Unfortunately it is a tough place to live if you want to go bass fishing. There is no "local" fishery really. Ruth lake is a great lake, 2hrs away at the most. But now you have to pay $20 to launch due to bogus quagga inspections. I have not been there for years because it was a dink facto...

Re: What swimbait is best for a beginner???

The 6" Rising son is a very easy bait to get used to throwing. It is a bait that fishes high in the water column, so it has its limits. But throwing it like a spinnerbait around shallow cover will get bit on any lake.

Hey Buttafucco, Sometimes you just might have to put down the swimbait for a little while and throw those big worms!
