It basically doubles in height when raised up.

Just to circle back and maybe answer anyone’s future questions.

Cisco mount from Cisco will allow two screws to be installed but you’d have to tap the other two.

Brewcity only has the four base plate screws necessary to mount the CT 360 base.

I ended up going with the Superior Fishing Product mount as it was pre-tapped for the brewcity and any future item I would want. It’s also cerekoted black instead of silver.

Well this won’t let me share a link. Wondering if I can buy the Cisco Alumatrac mount (google that) or if I need to get the brew city alumatrac mount (google that). They’re both made by cisco – I would rather have more flexibility and purchase directly from cisco.

you can also buy an earth auger for $60 at Menards to put on. might save you some time as they are made for dirt and smaller rock. They also have a longer starter bit so it’s easier to get them going.

Look for TNA Angry Dragon’s, musky/large pike specific chatter baits.

Are they the alumacraft plastic brackets or one of the aluminum brackets?

I just usually crank mine up without issues with the trailer backed into the water?

Regardless, nothing will change if they don’t get any feedback. Tell them how you feel.

You need to be signed in to take the survey? No thanks.

I would support opening it up solely to spread some of the early season traffic out from pools that are already open year round creating another viable option (not sure it’d work but wishful thinking)

If it doesn’t open, you’ve waived all rights to be upset or bothered by it.

it’s “out dated”

Boomsite is launchable

Many of the large airline cards also provide reimbursement for Clear or Pre-Check.

For domestic travel, southwest is probably your best bang for your buck mileage wise, especially if they have direct flights to areas you frequent (often find flights for 4-7k miles one way). Otherwise the Venture Card (redeem for any travel/hotel), Chase Ultimate, or as others noted, the Delta Amex is probably the best value though they also have the highest yearly fees. Make sure you take advantage of the Clear/Pre-Check/lounge offers.

They had a few of these on some of the manitou pontoons at the boat show. In concept these are great for pontoons as you get an extra 2-3ft of deck space.

Interestingly enough, the guy also mentioned the stunt with the new Alumacraft Competitor with the nasty deck was a PR stunt to get feedback… Sounds like we may see some re-work next year.

Don’t plan on driving out. Wheelers may be tough and a snowmobile is probably the preferred mode of transportation.

It’s city work so it’s public knowledge.

Anyone care to share or DM these highwater tactics? We found some eyes in the 8′-14′ range last weekend and were going to give it another go.

Yes

I have used garmins splice kit and it worked great and was super easy with just a small screw driver and a cable pliers.

Great, appreciate the responses!

What are you going to winch to in the middle of a lake?

Haveyou ever noticed that those who can’t consistently catch fish inevitably blame their lack of success on a lack of fish?

Years ago a state representative tried to blame muskies for eating all of the <strong class=”ido-tag-strong”>walleye and crappies in the lakes for the county he represented too.

Didn’t the same representative also claim to shoot geese off his lawn because they were crappin’ all over it?

Thanks for the responses. I don’t think my 175 competitor sport comes even close to 3,000 lbs loaded. We will see what we decide!

Looking to capitalize on ridiculous trade in on the wifes current escape where the dealers offering more than we paid, and dumping off my truck thats rusting while the dealers are still willing to give me over 10k for.

Not set on the explorer, but will likely get an SUV of some sort and I will get a truck once the market figures itself out. Personally I don’t get the hate on the ecoboosts, they’re a hell of a lot more fun to drive than the NA v8s.

Easiest way to explain it is the panoptix is closer to traditional sonar, with some additional lag. Livescope is more comparable to down imaging with less lag. With panoptix you will need to do some more distinguishing of the radar where livescope will distinguish things for you.

Youtube will be the best way but it is night and day.

instead of purchasing a saw for the tailbone, we always just use a hatch.

The rubber piece in my transom saver split, resulting in slight damage to my skeg done by the bolt that holds the rubber block in the saver. Go figfure. So I grabbed a MY wedge but it cracked over winter and they sent me a new one which appears to be of a better quality rubber. I use it to protect the trim cylinder as well as to protect the skeg in the event my trim system fails on the road.

Try asking any manufacturer whether their transoms require a transom saver and see what they say. I’m perfectly happy with the warranty on my Lund and if for some reason the transom failed while driving I’m confident Lund would be covering that.

I’ll just grab my popcorn now and watch the never-ending transom saver debate that is a given in any thread such as this.

I agree… My skeeter never came with a transom saver so I assume I am not going to worry about it. Let warranty take over if there is a problem.

I would be more concerned with your motor warranty then your transom warranty. My new suzuki 140 owners manual clearly states it should be supported during travel and even shows a picture of a transom saver.

Watch black friday and you can get a deal on one that self empties and should have Lidar and all that. I picked up a Shark with a 45 day bin for my basement with LVP, runs every other day. If you aren’t around all the time the self empty is a nice feature to have as it allows unattended use for weeks.

I have the white/yellow and black harness available behind the dash that stem from the main harness. This is the manual that came with my gauge. It has the 3 piece connector and I was under the assumption based on a conversation with the service guy, the black connection in the plug with the trim sender was a ground and I could basically skip over step 4… but perhaps I need to complete that for the actual ground? The attached picture I have circled all my connections ( I know the green orange is for lights).

amazon runs sales quite regularly as well once you have a frame and lens type in mind.

Hello!

I’m fishing an incredibly clear lake, so maybe it doesn’t matter how deep my bait is on the follow and they see me anyways, not sure.

You’re not missing anything, clear lakes can be tough. If you’re mainly throwing bucktails you can try to switch to something more dive and rise or side to side that you can pause to try and entice them away from the boat.

Otherwise, fish the low light hours of sunrise and sunset and beyond
