    yes actually - today during lunch - - - Updated - - - Oh I have been there plenty of times. But I got the majority of those shenanigans out of the way between 25 and 45. At some point it seems like a guy has f'd up his quota of stuff, learned a whole bunch of icky lessons, and the damage toll...

    IF I don't die unexpectedly I can say with confidence am going to light this thread up this summer with numerous pics of big pigs that fell victim to the Skegosaurus. Then knowing me, after achieving Pro status trolling cranks - I'll go back to pitching and slipping whether they are biting on...

    I honestly suspect that the twin bags under the boat aren't going to cause too much trouble - they are out of reach of the tiller, the electric, and MOST fisherman - except kids as finaddict pointed out - - - Updated - - - maybe I need to start smoking weed - does it make a guy chilax and not...

    ha ha ha - are you new here? - - - Updated - - - no troll control on the Johnson - which is why bags sounded good - I can always throttle up a tad I just like REALLY to experiment - and although I've made it sound like I've never trolled but I have - quite successfully at times I am hoping...

    OK - but from what I understand is you deploy them while "at rest" so there may be very little excitement - since they are rigged to be tight across the keel I am guessing "at rest" is the ONLY way they get deployed!

    burying is amazingly effective way of dealing with carcasses - no wonder it's been such a timeless approach

    ha ha ha - my tiller is not exactly Lake Sakakawea material - but maybe the protected bays of McKenzie etc. would work? Where is your spot up there? We have a place in the Killdeer Mountains - we could spend nights there and drag the boat over and spend some beer time during the day in your...

    great lakes guys claim that twin bags under the boat reduces bouncing in waves because the bags are "tacked down" in deeper/calmer water - some discussion about concerns of waves topping the front in high seas but nobody reports having it happen :;:huh also - it supposedly provides a "still...

    I purposefully located its crosssection as centered on the rotation axis as I could to avoid torque in either direction so water is pushing both the front and the back of the skeg with equal force if that makes sense? - - - Updated - - - when a guy hits a log - or hits "jackrabbit" speed from...

    I'd consider that if I had shops/storage for lots of toys!

    agreed - I was thinking using bags under other trolling/dragging presentations - or trolling with the wind and you're hussling along too fast that's the point of the Skegosaurus - push with the fixed position main motor - steer with the electric which is mated to the charts and can follow...

    guywhotrolls?

    yeah - you won't see me using it in areas with debris/gravel/rocks - I think it can handle some 2 mph collisions with the occasional logs I built it "breakaway" so I can always replace it - I made a stencil and I can cut two or three from a $15 Target brand cutting board. I plan to lock the...

    those are 18" trolling bags tied 14" to either side of center - slung under the boat from forward cleats using 1/2" anchor rope heat shrink at center to minimize fraying (for a while anyway) I'll have to make sure I stow them before trailering to the lake ; ) - - - Updated - - - - - -...

    guywhotrolls?

    I've decided to learn how to pull cranks this year for occasions/conditions/boat-mates where pitching and/or bobbering aren't cutting it. Here are some mods I made the last couple of weeks - along with buying/installing an xi5 and gateway that talk to my gen2 and gen3. Any other...

    Line Preference

    going to try this - especially for places with weeds - try to avoid getting the weeds up at the knot/swivel - - - Updated - - - what do people use for leader knots on lead-line? Or are swivels mandatory because fouled cranks rotate?

    guts question...

    I wonder though.... what about garbage men transporting garbage containing hundreds of carcasses from resorts, etc.?
