Well decided to run to the West flats this afternoon. Pulled into the lighthouse ramp close to one and it was really pretty nice. We loaded up and made our way out to the bird rack and then to the flats at Live Oak. Low and behold, we're not 5 minutes in the water and WHAP.... :smt010 no, not fish b...

Great day, we're heading out here very soon to see what we can find.

Unless he has changed hooks,he uses Gamakatsu. I spoke with him when he started his company and he told me that. At the time I warned him about a personal experience with the hooks. He said he would take my warning under advisement. That is all I know. I use and LIKE the Slayer. I have not had a ho...

That's awesome, if I may ask what were you using for bait/plugs etc ? Running out on Wednesday weather permitting.

Looks tippy

Thanks JT & Bman.

Slayer Jig Heads.. hooks are sharp at ship, hold the Gulps on nicely and they make a wide variety of sizes and colors. Tis all I'll use.

Thank you,
Bagger out.

Not for sale Just adding to the collection.

Lots of great input and thanks. I've got a flat bottom all welded boat with a 72" bottom with a hydraulic jackplate and water pressure gauge. Everything BUT the tunnel.

Thanks Charlie and getting into skinny water that you don't know would be unnerving. I'd imagine to an extent it can also provide a false sense of security. Maybe in Texas where the worst would be running into sand would be not so bad, but around here it's the rocks that'll be you in the azz and tha...

Thanks, I use to work in Blountstown and have been at their shop and they make a great boat no matter what it is.

Thanks JT. Only issue I can think of with sponsons would be transducer placement limitations.

As the topic says "school me on tunnel hulls".. having just completed a one total rebuild, seriously thinking of looking around for an all welded tunnel to play around with in the 16' to 17' range. I've read that they won't float as shallow as a non-tunnel due to less water displacement, t...
