I'm talking about the Minkotta Maxxum 80lb. Recently, it's been loosing thrust quicker than usual. I used to be able to run all day without a drop in thrust, but recently it'll start weakening after a few hours. My group 27 led-acid batteries are only 22 months old. Load test at Kragen's came back ...

All, Thanks to those who attended today's tournament at Pyramid. Jerry once again won with some beautiful swimbait fish. What was great was everyone caught fish. BUT, we were short 6 anglers to keep the AOY award live for R7. We must average 18 anglers for the season to award an AOY for any CBF regi...

scottsweet

Guys, to keep our AOY, we need 6 guys...3 boaters, 3 non-boaters. Call me at 818-448-3366 if you are interested!

Congrats to you Jay....way to go!

All,

I will be up at Clear Lake practicing for the FLW event all of next week. I am staying at the Konocti Casino. If any co-anglers are interested in practicing, drop me a note. 818-448-3366 or scott@scottsweet.net

All, May 5th is right around the corner. This is the 3rd event of the season. Jerry Ballesteros is in first place...but not by a lot :). Ronnie Kim is right behind him and he is a co angler!! Please get your entry mailed to me by Monday, April 30th. I will be checking memberships, so please get your...

I only knew Don for the past few years. He always had a smile on his face and a reaching handshake to befriend everyone.

Rest in peace.

You are under warranty. Anglers Marine and Trolling Motor Doctor are both service centers who can repair your unit.

I have been out of the game for a little while and looking at getting new Electronics for my boat. Lowerance or Humminbird? I have done some reach and they seem to have both neg and positive things written. Looking for some feed back from both sides that used the new products. Mostly interested in ...

scottsweet

Thanks for all the great feed back, you guys are awesome. But If the Talon is so easy to be removed should I be concern about theft. Thanks, Dan That is a valid concern depending on your circumstances. Personally, I do not stay in hotels and the boat is usually very close to where I am sleeping :)....

scottsweet

Scott, Great post. Lot's of extremly useful information. I certainly appreciate you taking the time to better educate us all. I have to be honest, I wanted to install a set of power poles but was extremly hesitant becuase my better half likes to wake board. I was looking at possibly adding some qui...

JustinD wrote:Curious can you drag the Talon? E.G....say the wind is blowing you along the bank I used to drag my power pole to slow myself but can you do the same with the Talon or is it primarily geared to anchor?

Yes. You can deploy them whenever you want.

scottsweet

Watching the Classic on TV I was amazed at how often the guys had to negotiate fighting bass around the PowerPoles. Several times it looked like they were going to fall out of the boat because they had to lean so far off the back to keep the bass out of the way of the poles. But then again, the guy...

scottsweet

Talons allow for a partial deploy? I know that was one of the real attractive uses for the Power Poles when they first came out, and I'm not up on the capabilities of the Talon. Also, what is the height of the Talon from the waterline? I know the Power Poles are at 0' for all intents and purposes. ...

scottsweet

Two more questions? What's the worst that could happen, if you try to take off plain when the anchors are in the down position? Is there a safety device that prevents damage to the Poles? Thanks When there is excessive side load on the anchor, a Retraction Notification Alarm will sound off. Additio...

scottsweet

I have two Talons on my boat. While I am sponsored by MinnKota, I have been on boats with both. The Power Poles are nice, but they are hydraulic. There is a bunch of stuff in the bilge area to support the Power Poles. I have heard multiple times about the hydraulic system failing resulting in fluid ...

Hi all, For those going to Fred Hall, come by and say hi! I will be at Anglers Marine on Wed late afternoon/eve and the rest of the time at the Humminbird/MinnKota/Lews booth. Come check out the new 360 degree sonar! We will have some documentation on this revolutionary technology. Hope to see you a...

Congrats once again...Jerry Ballesteros. HOWEVER, Tony came in with a TOAD! I would like to thank everyone for their participation and support of the Federation. We had our 18 anglers to award an AOY for 2012. See you all in May at Pyramid!! Castaic R7 030312 Results.jpg Tony BigFish 1 sm.jpg

All, We are fast approaching for our 2nd event of the season. We will be going out of the West Ramp BUT, everyone needs to bring $5 cash with them for the launch. We have to pay for early entrance and launch at the West Ramp. It is best to have your boat cabled prior to arriving. They will have insp...

I added a couple of pics. I modified the cover to cover the splash well. Also, I had two fender covers made.

All,

I had a coangler ready to go with me but he may not get in. I am looking for a co-angler, already in, traveling from Socal who would like to share expenses. If you are interested, drop me a line.

All, I talked to Rich myself just now....here are the facts Rich was willing to share. Big Fish was in fact $35/person, not $50 and obviously the website is wrong.

Thanks for the guidance Jeff. I guess since you don't fish the big water areas like Havasu, Clear Lake and Delta too often, you have forgotten reality :).

All, I went down to Anglers Marine today to deliver all the goodies to be installed on my new boat.
