I hope that the weather will start them biting soon! I have been working and have been out of the loop on the fish bite.
I am getting the itch to go after stripers again!
Maybe Tom's Dad has something for us to go on.

Ken the vinyl is as they say much easier to clean and take care of. rinse and run. the downside is that it will get hot on the floor of the boat. The sides and on mine I have built in rod racks that you can walk around on top of. The raised decks and walk around on top of the rod rack are fine. I ...

I have a Duracraft 2074 Tunnel hull with a 90 Yamaha it has been a great boat! gets me into the shallow lakes and rivers plus if I decide to run off shore for short distances on calmer days it does fine. I have had it in 4ft seas during a storm she ran like a champ.
I looked at many of the welded ...

I have a recreational permit that lets me in free but I seem to remember the entry fee being $1 or $2 to fish $3 to see the gardens.
good luck Gray Fins :smile:

I will be headed to the woodruff dam or lake hall depending on how long I sleep in Sat.
I may see you on the water look for a 20 ft gray ...

The best bait to start with for crappie is a beetle spin, road runner or small hal fly jig.
The best bait to start with for bass is a red shad plastic worm.
Like most places many other lures/baits work but this will get you started with fish in the boat until you get used to the place.
The water is ...

you will have to take the prop off until they get to know you. The fishing has been very good lately for crappie and bass.

Lake Hall in Maclay gardens is an excellent
place to fish.

I talked to the gentleman fishing with eels at the dam. He said he was ordering them from up north.
Also, He was using the eels cut into strips when I went by. He may use them live but not while I was up there.
