The USS Shelly Ann, named after my wife, A 15 foot Wareagle which has been doing battle over 10 years now on Lake Conway. I love this boat above all other things I own in Crappie Fishing.

If an umbrella will make me catch fish like crappie pro and dblevens, I'll try one.
I like my 542. Perfect size for one person. With 2 people, it can be crowded at times. Especially if the other person is catching all the fish![]()
THAT looks like the perfect Lake Conway boat.
They work great DB... but remember to watch for wasp nest if your fishing trees. Wasp dont like a umbrella bumping into thier tree limb too much. Trust me I know. LOL

Besides my Stick Steering boat I would have to say my Maximizer. With it, I can slow my trolling motor so slow I can be super stealthy in shallow brushpiles. If there are a few that have never seen one of these they were produced by Minn-Kota over 20 years ago and sold then for 100.00 at Bass Pro. With this any trolling motor could be made into an infinite speed control. There are still a few available now and then on E-Bay some still new in the box.

Thanks CP, I have found 2 over the years still brand new in the box on E-Bay. They have been out of production for over 20 years now. We found CrappieKeeper a new one for his boat back in '07 or '08 and we just won another "new in the box" one the other day as a back-up to either one of ours. If you can find a new one now expect to pay between 125.00 and 150.00 for it. Seen a lot of used ones that don't look to bad either
CATCH A BIG-UN
My understanding was that the new trolling motors have that built in.
I would hate to give up my Terrova I-Pilot
