Re: a quick question about fiberglass

I'm assuming you are talking about like a little tiller style boat here? Maybe 14-16 feet long?

Because when you get into the larger multi species or bass boats, with the exception of a few, the glass variantes will be more expensive.

Re: Lower Beverly

Fished there a few years ago in a tournament and all of our fish were caught close to shore on a texas rig (3/8oz weight) worm or tube or a 3/8oz or 1/2oz jig with trailer. Other than the time we were fishing Lyndhurst creek, most of the time, we were in 5-15fow and they were tight to shore. like no...

Re: Boat Launch Rideau River

Reevecraig will certainly accommodate your boat. Just know there is no dock there. I typically use the launch at the Taylor Conservation area. It is a little further from the 416 bridge that Pirate cove but the launch is nice, it has a dock and ample parking. Only time I have ever used the pirate co...

Re: transducer rooster tail

Lowering it will more than likely make it worse. Every boat I have seen a transducer installed on has had some sort of rooster tail because of it. you could try raising it a bit which will change the height of the rooster tail but will never eliminate it. The adverse effect would be that you may not...

Re: prop pitch

Without seeing where the bolts are that attach the motor to the transom, it is hard to say for sure. If your cavitation plate is 3" under pad, I would say you could raise it a bit but look at where the bolts are coming through the motor at the top of the transom and seem if you are able to rais...

Re: prop pitch

My personal opinion is I don’t think you’ll ever see 30mph out of that boat. You may gain a mile or two but I’ve got a buddy who has a Rebel 1455 with a 40HP fourstroke (I know not the same thing but it’s lighter) and his top speed is about 36kilimoters an hour which is about what you’re getting. Ei...

Re: best knot for skirted jigs

I have become accustomed to tying two knots. Uni or Palomar but both of these knots have the tag end towards the mainline. For jigs, I find it more important to use the proper style of head. I have become accustomed to Revenge Flipping Jigs because the line tie is integrated into the head and it pul...

It’s a trade war Drop, just one wins but retaliation is key to hopefully stopping it before it gets worse.

Re: Rideau River

Oddly enough, I have caught more walleye on w white coloured chatterbait than I have bass on the rideau.

It drives me nuts because all of the walleye I have caught have been decent and I was hoping they were pic worthy bass!
