I've been checking it daily. There's 1 in my price range that I'm going to try to look at this weekend.

Freefall

Be patient and keep an eye out. Good deals do come along, they just don't last long. I did know where a used 520 was but don't know if it's sold or not. I'll check tomorrow. Also it never hurts to contact boat dealers and see if they have anything. Gone Fishin Marine in Dixon does a LOT of consignm...

Freefall

Ouch.... I guess they'll have some explaining to do....

Freefall

I agree, I'm definitely leaning toward a 20.

If anyone has a lead on one in the 20 to 25k range I'd appreciate it.

Freefall

After many years of making my duck boats pull double duty I am finally in a position to buy my first pure fishing boat. I have never owned a bass boat , so this is a new and somewhat intimidating process. I know I have a lot to learn and am always appreciative of info and help so please feel free to...

Freefall

What knot would you use on stiffer floro such as 20lb floro to 65lb braid?

Ive had horrible luck with those sizes....

Freefall

Delta prop here in Lodi. They do amazing work.

Freefall

I'm in the market for a new boat and I'm having trouble finding a good site to search for used boats.

Boattrader is horrible.

Am I missing something?

Freefall

I got a handful of good fish pre & spawn on larger square bills. I haven't thrown them in a while though.

Freefall

Cool alternative to a traditional buzz. That said the wire holding the props is light so when a big fish eats it or takes it into the weeds those wires bend like noodles and take a lot of tuning to get right again. River2sea, stiffer wire on the props.... otherwise its pretty cool. A lot more subtle...

Freefall

I flip occasionally but most of those never touch the mat. I lip my bigger fish, I'm old school that way.

Freefall

If you have a Powell 3D 755CB that you are willing to move drop me a PM.

Freefall

Clear water on the Delta... funny joke.

No blooms up N on the Moke side.

Freefall

Nope, gold ring, not the XT model.

Mark I'll PM you.

Freefall

My buddy put VMAX AGMs in his boat and swears by them.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Hard to beat $100 shipped brand new. I'll grab one.

Freefall

Nice!

Freefall

I am thinking about picking up a second frog rod and came across a Tatula frog rod for a good price but before I ordered it I thought I would get some feedback. Do any of you own one r have thrown one?

Freefall

I picked up a Sierra 735 , beautifully made rod but I should have went with a 736 ( for frogging ). The guys at the shop were very helpful and got me going in the right direction.

Freefall

I have a new dobyns Sierra 735 that I would like to trade for a champion 736.

If you are interested shoot me a PM.

Freefall

I cot a PB recently and would like to do a replica mount but wanted some recommendations on a company to go through.

Any tips or feedback would be appreciated.

Freefall

I have a 12V trolling motor on my current boat and have found that I drain my Walmart battery pretty quickly on the D. I dont want to replace the motor because I am planning on buying a new boat in a few months. Until then I still need to get the most out of my rig. I'm going to buy a new battery bu...

Freefall

Either a savvy, Sierra or a champion.

If you have one or sale pm me please.

Freefall

I'm looking to replace my trolling motor. Mine is too small.

Im looking for something 50-70lb thrust.

If you have one for sale shoot me a PM.

Freefall

I'm considering adding a graph to my boat (no electronics for me to date) & wanted to hear your thoughts on the Lowrance hook 7 VS the Hummingbird Helix 7.

I'm looking at the DI with GPS unit.

Any tips or feedback would be appreciated.

Why is this okay? The top single initiative donor, according to state campaign records, is Forrest Lucas, who contributed $100,000 last month. The co-founder of Lucas Oil Products, a Corona-based company that makes lubricants and additives, he owns a large Missouri cattle ranch and lives in Indiana...

Freefall

Congrats on the new rig. I can't wait to get mine.

Good bag too. I'm hoping to get out Wednesday, it's been too long.

Freefall

That pretty much said it all. I run 7.1s on my frog, flip, punch & topwater rods to pick up line quickly and pull fish away from cover. I run 6.4s on my crank, chatterbait & spinnerbait rods because I tend to overpower those baits on anything more high speed. An 8 gear ratio would be nice fo...

Freefall

Thanks for the advice. I'm hoping to get things lined up soon and start looking.

Freefall

Awesome! Thanks for the help guys.

Freefall

Thanks, they said anything over 6 years old they only do 50% of low nada.

Freefall

I'm looking to get a new (used)boat and I contacted my bank and they only finance 50% of the low blue book value of a used boat. That won't cut it.

So I was hoping for some recommendations for a bank or a dealership that finances used boats.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Freefall

I have HID lights mounted on my boat but I have an LED wayfair light that's served me well through 4 duck seasons.

Freefall

That can be said of most forums. I've been on a few duck hunting forums for over 10 years and have seen plenty banned for running their mouth. I've seen those boards go down hill too.

I've also met some amazing people who I'm close with. You just have to weed through the idiots

I have a powell 736 and though it has a lot of upside, the one knock I have on itis that the tip seems a bit too stiff to walk the dog. I struggle with that aspect due to the rod. That said once you hook up its got enough horse power to pull them out of almost anything. The livetarget frog is pretty...

Freefall

From my experience most guys are pretty mum about specifics. Especially for those who fish for $.

That said I've asked for advice on here several times and have always gotten helpful responses.

Freefall

I've been fishing from my Tracker duck boat and though it works, it's not ideal. So I'm going to start looking for a boat. I'd like to find something that will last me several years, 4 stroke, 18' minimum. This will be my first glass hulled boat so before I start picking a boat I thought I would get...

Freefall

There are marinas by franks, however the wind may limit your opportunities.

That aside B&W & Paradise point both have good launches and offer decent fishing close to the launch.

Freefall

I'll go sign up for driving lessons.

Freefall

We have a 2015 tracker 17'9" with 75HP, and have had some problems running in the big stuff at the bottom of Frank's. This just means we had to slow down a little bit and we made it fine. 98% of the time, we are running with no problems whatsoever. We made the mistake of trying to run across C...

I dont like using floro but when I do its usually Sunline sniper.

Yup.

That said Tacklewarehouse & outdoorproshops
Offer Military discounts and are CA companies.

Nice bluegill! I got a stud red ear on a crankbait last week.

Good fish, keep it up.

Freefall

Na, people said that about hyacinth too and it's all but gone. Take advantage of it and punch away.

Freefall

The link doesn't work.

Freefall

I do my best not to flip fish into the boat. The exception is if I'm punching or frogging and I need to pull them out of cover quickly, then I will flip them. But I'll get them off of the decking ASAP. I do 99% of my fishing alone and nets are a pain when your solo so I lip a majority of my fish. I ...

Freefall

Stud!

Freefall

For me it's location based. Some areas and techniques fish better at high vs low tide & visa versa. I personally like the first few hours of the outgoing tide.

You were right about the bite moving out with the fish. They pull out with the water. The key is knowing where they go to get bites.
