I fish places like shabbona, heidecke, lake Michigan for largemouth And pike. Where I was today my sonar read mostly 15-20 feet at about 55 degrees. The lake today was pretty clear, almost maybe 5 feet vis. The hits were shallow in the weeds right along the edge. I love using crankbaits but I...

Iv been out fishing plenty of times this year, both on my boat and shorefishing. I still havnt caught a bass off my boat. Today was the first day I actually pulled a bass up to my boat and saw it, but it got away. Its so frustrating that I need to vent here. All the boats around me usually are...

Hey boat looks great, if you dont mind me asking, which 2 lakes are those in the pictures? I have been out a few times too. Heidecke, Shabonna and the calsag. I still havnt caught a fish. Im looking for a nice lakes with launches like that.

Where is a good place to order a fish measurment sticker fpr my boat?

I've been looking for a bow mount trolling motor, and have been coming across shafts that are I think 54 inches. Is that too long to deal with on a 1436? I did the measurements and all I think I need is a 36 inch

I was wondering if anyone orders their lures and what not online. If so, from where?

Well you wont need rods if you bring a 30

Yeah I don't have insurance and im not sure about the local laws. Ill ask dnr next time they check for my fishing licence.

I was at a boat dealer today and I was looking at their mercury outboards. In the future I would really like to upgrade to a 20hp. My boat is rated to 15hp. I know the boat can handle even more because its in great shape. The price difference isnt too much. Would you go for 5 hp over the...

I just bought my first bait caster. Its the BPS tourney special with 6.6 medium heavy rod and 40lbs braid. I feel I can pull anything out with that thing. I used it for the first time today and I love bait casters now. Should be really good for catfishing.

Ok well I think I decided on an edge, what size shaft do people normally put on a 1436? I would like to go a little bigger just in case I get a bigger boat one day. I guess its either a 36 or a 45 in shaft.

Awesome reply, I don't want heavier line, I was just wondering what's ok because I have seen people doing it. I have 8lb trilene and I can barely break it when I get a snag

I have been fishing on and off for a while now, but just last year I got a little more serious about it. Its still all new to me. My reel say 8, 10, and 12 test and the rod is something similar, its a 6' medium spinning. Is it ok to use 15 or 20 lb test or do your guys stick to what the rod and...

I bought my battery from menards. Its an exide nautilus. So far an awesome battery, lasts all day and not too expensive.

Here are some more pictures. I plan on to install about the same size front deck, maybe a little longer, flush with the top so I can install a bow mount trolling motor. That way, I will have a little extra storage space between the 2 decks. Or should i just make a mount for the motor only? What...

I just bought a 1436 and I was worried about the same thing. It can handle way more than I thought so far. I go out on canals and pretty big lakes and I was worried about wake from barges and big boats that speed by. It handled it very well. Just keep an eye on the weather, and figure out your...

ahh that would of been nice.

If its 6 feet it would be long enough. Im trying to stay away from the electric ones because they are too expensive for me right now. It wouldnt be all the way to the middle bench, i plan to install a pedestal between the front and middle benches since I put a floor in and I have something to...

Im looking to buy a bow mount, foot controlled motor. I am interested in the edge. Does anyone know how long the cables are for the foot control? Will it reach if I sat on the middle bench of my 1436, or does in have to be on the deck the motor is mounted to?

yeah I for sure don't have to power load. My boat slides right up no problem. Problem is it slides back down when the weight shifts forward.
