    Need A New Boat Cover For Nitro Z7

    Hey All I've had my `13 Nitro Z7 since fall of 2012. I custom ordered the boat and bought the factory cover. Since then, I feel the cover has really failed me especially for the $650 price tag. The threads were the first to give out and now the fabric itself is tearing beyond patching. Bottom...

    Going To Eufaula, Al After Christmas

    I caught nine with the blue senko. Might just as well kicked my other rods off the boat. I like el Jalisco and the magnolia grill on Broad St. I'm grilling steaks tonight but tomorrow we are eating at the Cajun restaurant tomorrow. I love this town. Everyone is so nice.

    Going To Eufaula, Al After Christmas

    I'm at Lakepoint now. I've been fishing blue senko on the banks and leting it soak a long time. The bite is real light. I mean real light. Drinking beers at the lodge right now. How are is the food at the airports?

    Accessories For The Boat

    Funny , I was just looking for a new pocket knife and was thinking about getting one with scissors. I'm leaning more towards a Swiss Army knife belie it or not. For braid I use children's school scissor at good old Walmart. Clean cut

    Going To Eufaula, Al After Christmas

    GH - long time no talk. We're going on the 28 - 31 December so the rain should clear out. Well hopefully. My strategy is to go north of Lakepoint on the Cowikee and stay on the east fork. I'm going to look for steep drops and throw red 10ft crankbait and Rat L Traps slowly followed by worming...

    Transducer placement on 2014 nitro Z7

    Since this photo I switched sides. One thing I did was mark the waterline on the gunwale so I could make the transducer as parallel to the bottom as possible

    Going To Eufaula, Al After Christmas

    I spend a lot of time at the state parks. I can't believe my wife enjoys some of the "rustic" cabins we stay. I thinks she's a trooper and just wants to get away from work. I like small lake towns in Alabama. Always good food is to be had. Also most people are super nice. I want to go to...

    Going To Eufaula, Al After Christmas

    I'm going back to Lakepoint after Christmas. Looking for fishing tips and damn schedules. Last couple of years I've been going to Lake Gunthersville because it's hard to get a cabin that pets are allowed. Anyway, does anyone think the bass will be in the main channel and deep? Last time I...

    Shimano Chronarch CI4 Baitcaster

    Finally got to use my Chronarch CI4 yesterday. I mounted it on a 7' Med Heavy Fast action Clarus rod. I used a 1/2 oz spinner bait and put a little tension on the reel so the drop was a moderate fall rate. Using 20lbs line it sailed an easy 35yrds casting it side saddle with little effort. I...

    Shimano Chronarch CI4 Baitcaster

    Just bought a new Shimano Chronarch CI4 for my spinnerbait rod. Not sure why I bought such an expensive reel. Hope it's worth the extra $100 over my usual Citicas and Curados I'm going to try and get out this week to give it a spin.

    Installed Power-Pole Sportsman II unit on my 2013 Tracker 175TF

    The fiberglass poles are a good idea. I'm not going to buy two Power Poles, too expensive for me. I just approach the area I want to fish based on the winds or current and do the best I can. I already get ridiculed in my area for having one on a Z-7.

    Installed Power-Pole Sportsman II unit on my 2013 Tracker 175TF

    Nice job on the Power Pole install. I installed one also and but fortunately I was able to install mine on the jack plate. Really it's one of the two reasons I ordered my boat with a jack plate. Anyway, I made one mistake. I ordered an eight foot Power Pole because I normally read about six...

    LSS 2 Transducer placement

    Essentially I orders the parts from Transducer Saver and Shield and installed it myself. The key is to buy an L-bracket undrilled and drill to fit. Take your boat out and get a scum line on the gunnel. Then level the bracket so the LSS-2 sit horizontal to the bottom. Drill the holes in the...
