Anyone with the lite flite have issues with it binding like the regular strikemaster Lazer auger bit does when you get to the bottom of the hole?

Yes. One year internally and six month on everything else.

That’s cool crappie! We are staying at the Le Chateau the 3rd weekend. Thanks for the info!

I agree with David. Being in the autobody industry I have seen frames get bent from people getting hit in the back. Those receiver hitches act like a big lever, creating a lot more force being applied to the frame.

Hahahahah! Can’t wait for some videos.

Savage recheck for that can holder my hardwater bibs have them. I believe it is on the right side.

Striker hardwater!

Koldfront those cargo racks look nice. Do you happen to have any of those left?

Great read! I will have to explore this more.

Lol! So true.

You could have a show with a great sea perch bite on the Pacific ocean and there would still be guys pissing and moaning about exploiting it. The ever changing technology of ice fishing will change a body of water more than a fishing show ever will. Thanks guys for another great show!

Aluminum will still corrode. A product called sealout sprayed on the inside of the panels will slow it down considerably.

How is the spot lock on your I pilot? I have heard mixed reviews on those.

I had a similar situation yesterday. I noticed wet snow in a particular spot I wanted to fish, it only took 3 hits with my spud to go through. That was the only area my spud went through the rest had 5-6″ of ice. You can never be to careful with early ice!

His videos are hilarious. It’s a sunkin boat! Sick!

Oh man!! Sorry to hear that Dave.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Mel. All I can say is I wish there were more guys like Mel in the industry. Very passionate and knowledgeable individual. I wish I knew half of the stuff he knows about rod building, maybe someday.

I have the shappell 6500. So far I am impressed. The windows are at a better height than other hubs, more room then the fat fish, and the fabric seems thicker then other noninsulated hubs. Since the hub is black and blue any sun warms it up a lot.

I did remove the VRO oil tank and lines 4 years ago and have been pre mixing my gas. It still has the original VRO fuel pump on the motor. If it is the fuel pump is there a non VRO version that is not so expensive? Thanks for the replies.

Does anyone know what the water temp is and if the bass are on there beds on Cedar?

Those are some tanks rod-man!

Thanks guys! Eyecatcher those are some nice bass. What was the water temp? We are going to be targeting bass and neither of us have fished the lake so any info helps.

Yes I am interested in both the jointed and lipless cranks. Let me know if you are going to be in Lacrosse area soon or I can send you a check.

Dave do you ever get to Lacrosse? I would be interested in the jointed raps and possibly the lipless cranks.

If anyone is traveling south of the cities, Steve’s pizza in Austin is a must. Best thin crust pizza around!

Good win for the badgers! Can not say the same for their play. It was another slow start offensively. It took a smack in the face to wake them up. That is not going to cut it anymore, especially this deep in the tournament. Watching Kentucky right now and all I can say is wow, they seem to get better every time I watch them.

Hahaha!! Sorry but I think the chubby would lose in the zipper vs. chubby battle. As far as fishing I have had very little luck with the chubby darters. I recently bought a rip n rap, very little success thus far also. Maybe I need to give them more of a chance.

Way to go stick boy!!!!!

Yes I have a couple times, on the north end of the lake. My parents have a cabin between Berry and Dry Berry lake. Its has been a few years since I have been up there. A lot of structure! Walleyes, big northerns and big smallies.

That’s right Randy Mill pond is full of those!
