I haven't fished there in years either

But generally the bass there aren't very large, but there are some..I have never seen a bot in there, but I have seen bellyboats and such being used..

Good question

Ask a bunch of Ranger owners, and they will say it makes a big difference..In reality the boat is nothing more than a mobile platform to fish from..Some may get you to a particular spot quicker than others, but you da man dat gotta catch the fish..

No doubt

The motor is the most expensive single item on a rig..Generally on the newer models roughly 50% of the value is the motor..It can range a little greater or a little less than that depending on the motor and motor size..

He wins the "ODD NUT"

For sure with a catch like that one..The biggest I ever saw was 56#..It was pulled out of its nest by a neighboir of mine when I was a kid..I still can't believe he caught is just using hands and feeling arond holes in rocks on the Brazos River..The man had more nerve than I will ever have..

I have read his

Book on structure fishing and found it very informative..His is the authorative word on understanding a body of water, it structure, cover and so forth..In a sense he was ahead of his time in understanding and taking advantage of everything in the water to find and catch bass..

That is a normal occurence

That in all honesty need never happen..I know that it takes me and my partner 16 or 20 minutes to get the boat loaded and organized and ready to go..How many boats could be launched during that period of time..You would think the operators of the launch ramp would make sure this does not happen..

BPS carries a ton of items not regularly carried by our smaller local bait and tackle shops..I think a lot of people will shop there if one is handy just for that reason..I don't think you will see a huge decrease in the customer base for the smaller local shops, except for maybe the ones in which e...

Contrary to popular belief
