to say that the snagging of flathead catfish in the Minnesota river isn’t taking place is completely false…. If you know where they winter you can sit in the woods and watch it happen right in front of your eyes .. I have witnessed this and contacted the Mn DNR about this on separate occasions … If it isn’t a big issue I don’t see that problem on closing the season..
Bass boat saver !!! Eric at S.B.C can hook you up Im sure
Most of the guys that fish that tournament grew up on that river . I for one did not fish the Croix until 2005 and consistently from 2007 to 2010. to make the statement that it isn’t a big fish fishery is a false statement.. The time of year to locating numbers of these big fish is crucial and almost as crucial is location and water level.. as some spots w low level will not produce as it does in high water.. As far as a consistant pattern I would say there is some consistence to each and every pattern but very few fisherman work hard enough to dial in more then one or two presentaions.. I myself focus most of my time on pool four and have yet to see a post spawn female weigh in on the scales at 10.5 lbs and the fish from 2011 was a legit post spawn giant.. point being spend your time figure out a program and then spend some more time if you locate one big girl theres more not far away..
I did have the issue with my water pressure gauge hose coming unhooked and spraying water in the boat as the motor was running as soon as I realized it I called SBC immediately and eric talked me through it and figured it out in two minutes on the water,, four screws and popped it together.. Im not going to push blame one way or another as I had two graphs installed and switched transducers a couple times and pulling the wires is what I believe pulled the hose off of my connecter.. as far as the livewell being labeled wrong all I can say I wow.
I personally use a ram mount and its seemed to work great .. I have seen this same set up on many others as well, personal preference if you want it centered or to the right or left a bit.. good luck.. I did see recently there is a sale on one of the 800 series hummingbirds for $599.99 as well..

Great things happen to great people congrats Dean
he would make one hell of a coach because that team he has behind him sure does a great job… Congrats Dean!!! your hard work shows. 
using decoy bags and sinking them back down can be a must at keeping these fish alive as they will not last long in the live well…any rule where fish must be alive? ( in my opinion this is a must)
50 boat field seems very small for a “big time” tourney .. any reasoning for that??

I have opinions on several things but will the Wisconsin DNR take into consideration anything that is brought up on this.
I’ve talked to several wardens on the ten fish limit, which I think is good, on the three pools and I was told WDNR would never go along with it.
Ten fish Limit? Interstesting please explain your thoughts
how about Bruno and the chilli peps 
and its over… the hawks paid a lot of money for that kick return… 
In my opinion the best fishing in the croix is earlier in the season.. that being said I think it would be a good idea to have tournaments in May and June even with high water maybe change to take off location…. the high water does not seem to affect the croix as much as other rivers its still usually pretty clean and the fish bite like crazy… if the no wake is one could change take off locations.
wishing I was ……..

I am yet to run or see any glass boat that doesnt get any gel coat cracking. Just part of owning a glass boat. They are always going to flex some its just a matter of where and when.
I agree 100%. I Fished out of a 620 tiller w a 150
Yamaha for 4 yrs tournament fishing and the owner of the boat pointed 5 different places on the interior of the boat where stress cracking had occurred he was also concerned and was told it was only cosmetic.
cosmetic or not in my opinion it is a problem that id expect skeeter to fix not cover up.. I have not noticed this on my wx2000t ..If its only cosmetic the torque from the engine wouldn’t make any difference that being said how come this location is the only place affected.
marinate in lawreys teriyaki marinade for 24 to 48 hrs .. grill on foil skin down first for 15 min flip onto grill without foil skin will peel right off spread a melted brown sugar and butter glaze on … cook on high heat at this point and continue to glaze n flip every 3 min until salmon has a crusty glaze.. If its smaller coho 24 hrs is enouph time for bigger king, rainbow or trout I leave them soak for 48..
Wendt taxidermy in Mankato .. I have 15 fish mounted from bob and id bet my favorite fishing pole his walleyes are 2nd to none, I live in Byron if you want to see the proof. or pm me an email addy and ill send you some pics of mine .. bobs contact number 507 317 0891
I agree 100% service is unmatched.. I am thankful theres a place like S.B.C.. Made one of my dreams a reality!!!! 
:
That is with a 17 pitch prop, And no that was w just a few spinning rods and very little gear with. It was only the 2nd time I had the boat on the water so i havnt run it in waves or any conditions to effect control speed etc ,I realize there is alot of variables with speed. I read alot of forums b4 lookin into the wx2000t and there were guys getting 41.5 to 42 mph, again not sure of the prop etc they were runnin. I agree it would be nice to run less rpms at 38mph though. To each there own If I had deeper pockets who knows maybe i would have justified it in my mind to go 50mph 
nice boat, I agree 100%, on that customer service from skeeter boat center is absolute top notch.. I joined the skeeter nation in Feb thanks to the team at S.B.C
wade, I recently purchased a 2011 wx2000t and w the 115 yamaha full of fuel i can get 40 to 41.3 out of it, My question is what is the need for a 150 to 250 on the back of a tiller boat unless you are doing some serious tournament fishing. I mean I get the fact that going 50+ mph is way cool. I have not been in a warrior With the 200+ motor on but i bet its a heck of a ride.
I blew the bottom cylander of my 04 90 hp etec and it is costing me 2grand to fix . The only problem is the marine shop i brought it to has had it for over a moth and I get the same answer everytime I call there ” we will try and get it done” I guesse I should have brought it the als in rochester instead ,to answer your question its yes . that motor is worth a heck of a lot less blown up then if you fix it and sell it. … Also how much is it going to cost to buy a new one.. I also agree my next motor will be a yammy.

JeffU and myself went out on monday and did fine in LC harbor. drifting minnows and crawlers. pretty much a meat bite. Jeff caught a nice 30″er.
Tuesday Jeff put a 33″er in the box also. Nice fish.
Going to try the wisconsin side thurs. takeing my 7yo out on sat/sun wearther dependent.
i need to get a tape measure like jeff
first of all is the limit the number one part of the equation?? really? wisconsin uses multiple lines iowa and michigain as well and they all seem to be doing pretty well .. i think if an effective angler wants to keep 6 fish or 4 or 3 isnt going to be effected that much by how many lines we use !! the way the bill reads is a joke they think they can allow one type of fishing to use two lines but not the other??? come on . either pass it or dont ! i do see ur argument though suzuki , the future of our waters depends on people being true to the laws and to the sport !!!!take the fish you are going to eat no one needs a freezer full! but some people seem to think they do !!
i used to live on prior lake and there are alot of walleyes in this lake the fall was bar none the best time to fish them though , just south of prior lake is clear lake . stacked w nice walleyes and relatively easy to fish . lindys and crawlers or minnows. gd luck
correction! aaron wells fished the hamm room tourney in 07 placed third !, we had a 25.5 27 and a 31.25 in walleye in our 6 fish bag , .. .
a big thanks to all the friendly people the firm handshakes and the high fives , I met some great people , HAAAAAMMMM ROOM . thanks again
i have fished this in the past is it still around a 50 boat tourney? can a guy register the morning of ? how much to play?
thanks in advance
if the truck if somewhat new 00 or newer there may be a trailer fuse , in my 05 ford i have a trailer tow fuse and i aslo have a seperate fuse for the left side brake light and left side blinker, check the owners manual it should tell you exzactly what fuse to check, best of luck this can be fruste 
rating
not the best obvious pick but has potential , as far as the future, he is going to get crushed by the detroit d line !!!!!!!!! our o line is bad to say the least 
i would say in that price range of 5000 , i just purchased a 1990 17ft smokercraft tiller w an 04- 90 hp etec on it for 5600 with electronics and trolling motor ,I had that motor checked at schmittys marine in lake city it has 114 hrs on it , for me it came down to whats it worth to me. gd luck
