Mississippi Lake - PB smallie

Went out on a hot day earlier in September, was throwing a 5" green/black wacky rigged senko and was catching some small largemouths, nice fight in them but nothing to write home about. In spite of the heat, I kept casting onto a rocky point with 8-10" water, and bam, the senko got hit har...

new young angler in the making

Hey all, Thought I'd post this and tell this little story of a young man just wanting to catch a fish. He is 10 years old and had been fishing a few times last year at Dows lake with his mom, he caught a sunfish and a small mouth on the only lure he has ever used, a yellow curly tailed swim bait on ...

Re: Calabogie boat launch

Anyone knows where the public boat launch is? Is it in the Barnet Park? Does it have a washroom (for the ladies)? Saw Bob Izumi's video and hopefully get some of that actions there. Thanks. Yes, at Barnet Park, last time I was there, it was free to park. Usually a Porta is there, but with COVID, I ...

Re: motor guide wireless trolling power issues

You said the plug and receptacle are new. I would check the wiring connections on both sides to make sure you have a complete circuit. My plug and receptacle (Marinco) have 3 prongs but only 2 wires from the batteries (2 in series) and 2 from my 24v Minn Kota PD. I have never had the plug or recept...

Re: motor guide wireless trolling power issues

The one test I can see being done is to do a megger (insulation resistance) check on the windings to see if they break down under load Hey, thanks for some more tips, yeah, I cannot do this test, don't have the equipment. Remote battery is good, I always keep a spare in my tackle box, fuses as well...

Re: motor guide wireless trolling power issues

So, I took the motor apart...it was quite dirty with magnetic dust, a small section of the magnet had flaked off, maybe the 3/8" wide and 1/16" deep, I pulled out the armature, it was slightly coated with the dust. Brushings are good, making good contact with the commutator, did the 180, b...

motor guide wireless trolling power issues

HI all, a few questions. My trolling motor will not turn on... - battery, charged, tested - all good. - 40 amps fuse checked, all good. - plug and receptacle, new, all good. I get power to the receptacle, and continuity through the plug, so all good there... - when I plug it in, the battery level in...

Re: Help me Catch my first Bass

You can park it there, we just pull right up to the shore, or there is some spots around the bend, 10 meters away, I've never had an issue with parking there, good luck and have fun!
