I bought a 18 footer that is 15yrs old and gutted it down to the frame and aluminum tube frame walls. I found one cracked wall stud. That I rewelded and I added a electric side mount toungue jack. Then 2” of spray foam all around and 3/4” knotty pine car siding and 12v and 120v wiring. Then 3 bunks weighting in at 3750. But is nice knowing that the frame will never rust or have to paint. Don’t treat it like poop and it will last forever.

I always like to start the day with a Uv pink fire tiger 1/8 oz slender spoon then I switch up as needed. Sometime the fish want flutter and some need more noise that’s where the fire tiger buckshot comes in. Watching the fish in a camera really helps break this all down really fast. But if noise is the big factor I skip the spoons and head for the # 4 rip&rap I love them after the success I had last season

I love the show, you guys do a bang out job. One thing I would love to see lake hoping. I’m out here in South Dakota and I fish in between Webster and Clark. And I hit about 10 ponds or lakes in day looking for fish or I will scout for on one big one like bitter or waubay or Indian Springs or Reid. All massive fisheries. I would love to see your approach to these scenarios and I never see you guys using a slender spoons why not?

Hope to see ya on the water at Indian Springs tho

I went with a frabill 371 with a 32″QT and it was amazing for hole hopping for perch crappie and even the surprise walleye. I thought the same thing about the free fall it just felt like I was one drop away from losing 109$.
