Very clever modifications. Like the exhaust pipe on the generator and the cleats - great ideas! That camp site is pretty cool. Amazing the relatively untouched places out there.
Do you cast lures to catch fish? These look like great fishing spots. Use only a top water lure. Easy. Dependable. Convenient. And super fun. Nice clip. I tapped the thumbs up 👍 button to feed the algorithm monsters.
Hello, I have not tried a topwater lure. This is a great idea and I will definitely give it a shot. I've been using a variety of spoons and paddletails - but I should be catching more fish! Thanks for the info and advice, I will use it. Thanks for watching!
@ChristopherQuest If there are no fish.... NO bait will work....live, shiny, stinky... Top water is a good "find them" lure. There are times that a fish is NOT coming out of 20' of water to hit a surface lure. Most fish will. A catfish is NOT. A red fish will not more than 4'-5' .... They love them in shallow water. I look at top water like knitting. You cast and reel for about 10 minutes. If they're there, they will let you know. Lately.... surface walker lures are the most popular. It takes coordination to walk the lure, but mostly.... it takes EFFORT. I am lazy. I like a cup faced popper or a prop on the back (not front and back because it gets caught up in the front propeller). I like a heavy lure. Casts further. Little fish eat big lures. Big bait big fish. Go big. My favorite is Big Chug.... Then MirrOlure's "Mirro-prop" but take off the front prop. Not as heavy as I like.... but.. You can pop it, steady retrieve... troll. Pop-stop-reel-stop-pop... way easier than walking which is constantly twitch reel twitch reel.... Remember.... Once you catch one or two, they will "catch on" and stop being fooled. Then use your jig. They'll never catch on. Lastly ! Clamp down the barbs on ALL treble hooks. You won't lose fish. I promise. But they come out of the fish (if you're releasing), lines, clothes, seat cushions, etc but MOSTLY they come out of PEOPLE ! Trust me on this.... barbless. I do for jigs too. But not with bait. It will come off the hook. Artificial jig? Barbless. I only use artificial. All barbs get clamped before they get on my boat... ALL.
The cleats on the rudders is a brilliant idea, I'll have to do that to my 26x. Where did you purchase the clear tarp? How did it hold out with strong winds and rain?
Hi, Thanks for the comment. The cleats are handy. The plastic tarp came from amazon 5x7 (oh my gosh just realized I said 6x8 it's actually 5x7) - the ad says "Covers & all Clear Tarps Made of Waterproof & Tear Resistant Vinyl Coated PVC Material" Thanks for watching!
