    Propping a F70 - 17 foot tiller

    I recently purchased a used aluminum tiller boat with a yammie F70. The boat is a G3 Angler V172. The prop on it is in need of repair and/or replacement. I plan on using it primarily on Lake Sakakwea so I’m leaning towards a SS prop with an alloy prop for a back up. The prop on it now is a 12...

    Help Propping 200 V6 Merc on Tri-Toon

    I'm looking for some sage advice on propping a my new tritoon. I took delivery of a new Crest 220 tritoon and for the maiden voyage we were able to get about 3 hours on it to do the initial break-in period. Overall i'm very excited and pleased with the performance of the boat and motor as its...

    Trolling for Salmon with in-line weights - 5 oz weights -

    Last time i was at Scheels i picked up a couple packages of their 5 oz in-line weights. I've been using their 2 oz weights with the Precison App for a couple of years and i really enjoy that. My question for you guys - is there a 'rule of thumb' in regards to adding more weight and getting...

    BRP - Evinrudes parent company, will stop making ETECS and G2’s

    https://boatingindustry.com/news/2020/05/28/brp-exits-outboard-motor-business/ looks like Evinrude outboards will cease production - this is a major blow for some, but it looks like Mercury, an American based company, stands to benefit the most from it. G2 resale values will likely suffer.

    What type of lures are these (Reef Runner 800 knock offs)

    I have a handful of lures that look somewhat like the Reef Runner 800’s but they aren’t actually RR 800’s - they have a “3-D” eye on them. Otherwise they look just like them. Are these Scheels brand or ?? Do they run the same as 800’s? I’d post some pics but I can’t figure out how to do...

    Adding a Kicker - Opinions Wanted

    I'd like opinions on which (Mercury) kicker to add to an 1875 ProV. The boat is used (2016) and came without any "provisions" for adding the kicker. So what say you? My old boat had a 9.9 Pro Kicker and i used it a lot. It was a remote steer which i didn't like all that much - the Sea Star...

    Python Wireless - Powrtran Kicker Steering System - Boat Show Vendors?

    Anyone here have experience with a wireless steering system on their kicker motor? I have a 9.9 sitting next too a L4 200 Verado. The power steering is stiffer than i like when trying to control with the 9.9. I've seen these systems like the powertran kicker controller online, but not in real...

    Lake Sakakawea AIM event June 30th - Info Appreciated

    Buddy and I are kicking around signing up for the AIM tourney this coming weekend. Neither of us have ever been on the water further east than Indian Hills, so it would be fun and completely new for us - we wouldn’t have the slightest clue where to fish!! Really though, we need to figure out...

    Trolling with Spoons

    Anyone on here ever troll with spoons? I’m talking dare-devil type spoons. Last summer I chartered a boat on Lake Michigan for salmon and lake trout, we limited out. Half of the lures we were using were simple spoons. The guide even mentioned that further north around Green Bay, people used...

    Which Prop would you recommend? Lund ProV 189 Verado I4 200

    i currently have an enertia 19 pitch on my boat, and i noticed it has a flat spot from my memorable trip on the confluence last year (I found bottom!). Its still very much usable, but maybe this is the time to get a new prop and make this unit my backup. So, what would any of you recommend...

    Pitching Jigs - explain it like I’m five...

    I’ve never pitched jigs a day in my life. Seems like early spring people do well with just that type of presentation. What’s the basics? What length rod? Line? Leader? Looks like minnows more-so than worms? How about leaches? When does a guy use plastics vs live bait? What about the...

    Straighten Bunk Guides

    Today I fished the confluence for the first time ever. Wow, what an expirence! As someone who’s only ever been on the big water, this was another world. Anywho, I’m glad I did but I’ll never do it again...in my boat. Lol The current was so strong tht it made loading a real challenge. Upon...

    HB Smartstrike - Lake Sakakawea. Anyone using this??

    I picked up a Smartstrike and put it in my Helix 7. For the life of me, I cannot get it to work (give recommendations) when I’m fishing near the New Town bridge and south as far as Skunk. Anyone else tried using this chip? Which lake map (Sakakawea has about 12 or so maps) does a guy need to...
