I decided a couple of months ago to make my own fish attractant for my lures. Garlic comes in a bulb in the grocery store and has a bunch of cloves in it. I took two bulbs (not cloves) and pressed each of the cloves in the bulb into a plastic drinking glass with a lid. I put the squashed up...

This bass is mostly head! Very small body for its size. I was wondering if it was an old bass or just the way it grew up.

this will be long but bear with me if you want to make your own weighted hooks. You will need a Coleman stove or some type of heating element to get your lead up to melting. I have an old steel (small) skillet and I put it on to of my Turkey frying burner. I take some lead wheel weights and get...

I have belonged to this club for many a year. Since the 70's. This last week I was on vacation and decided to try fishing the lake like it was a new place to me. There were areas that I knew held no fish and areas that were just marginal. So I thought. I really tried to act like I didn't know...

I have an 86 Tracker V-17 with a Classic 50 (45hp) Merc. on it. I can not for the life of me, get the carbs adjusted. It will either die or run way too rich. there is no middle ground. Are these hard to rebuild or can you trade your old carbs in for rebuilt ones? I've never torn a carb apart...

the buzz bait worked again. (edit) This bass was caught in a strip mine lake. It hit at 6:30 in the morining. There was a small cove off of the main lake. There was a single log sticking out of the water in the middle of this cove and I threw a 3/8ths white buzz bait about four feet past the...

I put a new Minn Kota 50 lb. thrust trolling motor on my Tracker this winter. I've had it out six times and today, the directional arrow on top of the motor quit working. The motor turns but not the indicator. Is there a fix to this or am I out of luck?

I have an 86 Tracker 17' bass boat. I recently got a 50 lb Minkota trolling motor from Wally World. When I am sitting in my seat, it seems very hard to engage the foot switch. If I stand, then it is easier to control and easier to activate the switch. I have a tall enough pole so I can stand...

I'd search for it but I don't know what they are called. I am looking for some kind of brace to lift the tarp up on the boat cover so that rain will run off and the tarp fit better. Some kind of pole or slat the would bow up. :?:

What is the purpose of red fish hooks. My local store has them all over the place. On some types, that is all they stock. Just something to be different or do they work better?

I am changing out the trailer bearings on my 86 17' Bass Tracker trailer and I watched the video that is at the top of this forum. It showed that there was a washer in front of the bearing and then the castle nut. I changed the bearings about 7 years ago and there was no washer then and none...

I just put a 6' Bimini top (Sunbrella) on my 86 17' Tracker Pro. I was worried about how it would look but it turned out great! I will have to find a good camera and get some pictures of it. It makes the boat seem a lot bigger when sitting in it. I put a 3' slider system on it so I can move it...

I enjoy casting bullets and reloading for my .357 Ruger GP-100. It is a fun hobby for me in the winter months and makes for some pretty cheap shooting. I can customize my rounds for up close or 100 yds and make them very accurate.

I just checked the oil level in my tilt trim on my 86 Tracker 17 and the oil looks more like milk than oil. The back of the boat did get flooded this summer and water went down through the vent of the tilt trim. I suppose I will have to take the hoses off and cylinders and clean them up? I...

I have a 86 Bass Tracker 17ft. with a Classic 50 (45) motor on it. On the back of the electrical motor for the tilt trim, there is power wire that comes from the battery. Connected to this input wire is a NINETY amp fuse bar. The wire is only an 8 ga. This seems like over kill to me. I have...
