    Default life doesn't get any better than this...


    I am so geeked! The wife and I have been planning another fishing trip over her spring break (4/4-4/12). We were on Kentucky lake back in '05 and didn't hit the crappie like we were hoping. To make matter worse, all I had was my lil' ole' 12 footer w/ 7.5 merc to putt around with. Can't cover much ground. This year it's gonna be different. Check out the pic. Just picked it up today. Ready to fish now.

    Default The plug is in.....ISN'T IT!!

    Yankee Doodler,
    Congrats on the new rig. My wife and I just got our first "new" boat last spring and I can tell you we have had the time of our lives fishing out of it ever since then. We got the Basstracker CrappiePro model and are very happy with it. We hope you get in to a mess of crappie this time out in your new boat. Word of warning, however. The very first time we took our new boat to the lake, (Taylorsville), I put the plug (brand new) in and tried to tighten it up to no avail. I had a bad plug fresh off the showroom floor. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong but it turned out the plug was defective. We drove around to the other side of the lake and luckily found a new marine dealer open and you can bet I loaded up on several quality plugs. Anyway, you all have a blast and be careful out there.

    Well we are pulling our rig (5th wheel) w/ boat tagging along to Barkley Lake SRP. Really wanted to get on the LBL side, but seems when I was researching campgrounds there was an issue w/ water being available in most of them during that week. Anyway, with a bigger boat I should be able to go where the fish are. I ran a thread asking if you slab hunters down there keep in touch on the lake via radio or phone on the action, but I didn't get many replies...probably a loaded question!?! I know up here on Lake Michigan they are pretty free with info on where the fish are, colors to run, etc. Well, anyway I appreciate everybodies encouragement on the boat and mama and I will definitely hav a great time. See you guys in a week or so.

    I did put it in a local lake near my home and ran it to test out all the goodies. It isn't a new boat...2002 model. I did check the plug first thing. I guess if the bilge pump runs probably should be wondering why, huh? I am going to have to do some homework tho. Has a pinpoint graph that is a lot more graph than I had on the old boat. From the little I have read so far, there are some really trick capabilities as far as networking other devices on the boat...like the motorguide 70 lb. troller. Guess it'll be a learning curve.
