Dad, my son, and I were fishing on a blue sky day. A thunderstorm popped up suddenly and we headed for the ramp. Just after we passed a marina with a rock jetty we ran into the hail.

Imaging: Lowrance vs Hummingbird

Now that downward imaging is here, I am very interested in this technology. Would like some input about it. Worth it or not and which is better, the Lowrance or the Hummingbird? What about through the hull of an aluminum boat for imaging?

Thanks,

Pike And Steel Leader Length And Five Of Diamonds Spoon

Did not want to high jack an earlier thread and I understand that this is a very basic question, but you cannot learn if you do not start with the basics. Usually fish for smallies and when using a white spinnerbait Mr. Pike will get there first sometimes. Thinking of going for Pike a little this ye...

Can a single axle trailer be safe for L O N G over the road hauling? I know I do not want a trailer with the wheels inside the pontoons. How do you have your trolling ...

Just wondering if anyone has solved this problem and what was the solution. Best bet would be a small generator I guess. If so, what brand and model of genera...
