I will definitely say hello if I see you out there. Enjoy that FB group. Thanks for watching and for taking time to comment. Fish on!

Thanks for watching JJ. I haven't tried McDanels yet.

Thanks AveJoeOutdoors. I'm looking forward to learning and trying new spots. Appreciate you watching and for the comment. Fish on!

Thanks Jett. I know the bigger water is no stranger to you and your PBR. Next time, Honda motor time. Thanks for watching and fish on!

I've seen your post on Facebook I'll sub to your channel also.

You are welcome. Enjoyed your latest video out there. Fish on!

I should have and will on the next trip there. Sometimes the dock situation can be not perfect for loading and unloading by myself with the Honda. Now that I have the lay of the land, it will be coming next trip for sure.

Minn kota 44lb. Dakota Lithium 12v54AH. Thanks for watching.

I believe it weighs 150lbs.

Only because it got to where my son went to college and I had a tough time getting the fiberglass heavy boat out of the water by myself. The PBR I use all the time since I fish alone the majority of the time. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

Dakota Lithium. 12v 54 AH. Very light and works very well.

Ok thanks for the info

You're welcome. Thank you for watching. Have a great season.

Indeed

I actually prefer the weeds but you are correct, I have to be careful around the laydowns out there but seem to be getting them on the ledges this Summer. Thanks for watching and for the comment. Have a great season, hope you stop by again. Fish on!

For my tolling motor and Lowrance. Thanks for watching.

Thanks very much for watching. Yes, I love my Pelican and I'm a bigger guy. I often take my 6.3 200 lb son on my Pelican with all the gear and sometimes even a small cooler, utility table in middle. We have had more than 450 on that Pelican for close to ten years now without issue. I did get a lithium battery to help with weight but never an issue. Obviously I wouldn't recommend overloading any boat but to answer your question, I would say you will not have issues. Thanks again for watching and best of luck. If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer best I can. Fish on!

Thanks for the information Dave. Much appreciated.

@@fishingwithvance Also, if it is helpful. I was doing some research. It's best to just buy the C2 for as cheap as possible. Then when electronics crap out. Replace the power control unit with a remote 100amp peak controller. One can mount all motor speed and direction under or near the seat. Or maybe mount control switches on rudder control knob. Really wouldn't need tiller control except for tight turns. One could just cruse with rudder control. Everything could be chopped down low profile. Nearly nothing in the way. Also: With these PWM control units. The speed is variable. Not segmented into 5 positions. It's much smoother operating. As far as I know about these e-motors. One can buy any old motor from garage sale. Get rid of all the top control. These PWM should run any e-troller. Only with compatible amp draw ratings. czcams.com/video/NdA61Oh1OiM/video.html

That's a great idea. Just 2 or 3 degrees would make a huge difference. I wonder if heating the plastic prop would mess with it's temper.

@@mattdg1981 I would highly doubt that this is a type of plastic that even has temper. As far as I know and the way they look. They are just nothing more than injection molded part. Should be deformable with heat. Worst I can imagine will be a vibration if you don't get the pitch exactly. I just seen a video of people putting RC Airplane propellers on these electric drives. One big issue is that it wouldn't be a weedless setup then. If that even matters. But one great thing. RC propellers can be purchased in lots of different pitches. And they are only around $4 - $12. Hope this helps!

That's great. The new boat sounds pretty sweet to have the family on and enjoy some fishing. Great stuff DT. Thanks for watching. Fish on!

It will be great. Sounds like January will be Pelican Mod January for you Mark. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Jett. Those have been good for me for 30 years. Thanks for watching. Fish on!

Yeah I love going through my old baits and finding stuff I forgot I loved to fish with!

I use lathe self tapping screws and some marine sealant. I have avoided putting holes in the boat opting for velcro tape or flex tape where possible. Sometimes it's unavoidable though for things like the Lowrance. I start the screws with a drill but then finish putting them in by hand being careful not to overtighten. Mine have not worked lose so far. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Fish on!

Thanks for the helpful answer! Appreciate your help.

You are welcome. Appreciate you watching. Fish on!

That's great Mark. I was actually surprised at the difference. Moves the boat faster in open water too so that's a bonus. Good luck with your new motor. Have a great season. Fish on!

No question the $20 was worth it. Hope fishing is going well for you in Retirement. Pretty slow for me for May and June. Not enough caught on any given trip to make a decent video. Thanks for watching DT. Fish on!

I may switch the head around on my 50lb Motor and then depending on where I'm fishing, select the motor accordingly. On the open water, reverse actually does really well on the Weed Wedge. Thanks for watching and the comment. Fish on!

I know my question is just looking for an (your) opinion at the moment. I switched my head unit on minn kota 55 so that I can mount it on front of bass raider and use it in “forward” operation. So my prop is “under” the boat when on front and I’m using forward operation of motor. With the prop/motor on front and prop “under” boat “pulling/pushing”” the boat across lake do you “think” it would still be as good for weedless operation with motor operating in forward mode? I use a rudder on back (until I get gas motor) to minimize side to side drifting of boat.

I'm not sure. I don't like fishing out the front since I don't have a rudder either. Some guys think I'm nuts for fishing out the back. Guess just used to it.

I can't decide. I might switch my 50 lb motor and sort of mix and match depending on where fishing. Thanks for watching Jett. Go catch em!

Thanks Jett. The Wedge will be put to the ultimate test soon. I will document. Thanks for watching and Fish on!

Love that spot. It's not for everyone fighting those weeds but it is fun. Thanks for watching DT. Fish on!

Thanks Wayn.

Thanks

Did you ever catch one? They pull and fight like champs.

It cost 5$ not that crazy

They are super nice. Thanks for watching.

Thanks very much for the input. Fish on!

I enjoyed getting the blowups and catching a couple. I will definitely use it again this season. The lure that eludes me is the frog. I have tried many times. I have hooked them, just not landed any. That one will be done for sure. Thanks for watching. Fish on!

Sorry about your slow start to the season. I'm sure as the water warms you will be all over them DT. Thanks for watching. Fish on!

Fish on!

Gotta admit, it was pretty fun.

It was fun I'll admit. I'll keep throwing it as the season goes on. Thanks for watching. Fish on!

Agreed. I have found that to be a challenge when trying to bring the boat back to the dock. Thanks for watching. Fish on!

Those Baby bass dudes are so versatile don't you think? Can be fished in so many ways with different presentations. They just catch them ya know. Thanks for watching. Fish on and have a great season. Thanks for checking out the mods too.

Thanks Jett. Appreciate the support my friend. Go catch em!

Thanks DT. So I guess I'm not the only "insane" one. I really liked that underspin. I have to try that at other lakes less weedy and later in the season too. Swamp is spoiling me right now, I need to fish other spots but man, getting 6 or 8 of the 1.5 to 2.5 lbers sure is fun. Next vid, another lure off the PIP has fallen and only two to go on the NEVER CAUGHT list. Thanks as always for watching. Fish on DT.

I had about an hour today so I went to the local lake and tossed a white tail curly grub and caught a white bass. Fish on!!!

@@duanetaylor1526 Nice! Have you been able to get out on the boat?

@@fishingwithvance Yes I’ve taken the boat out to 3 different lakes in the area but the water temps have been in the 40’s and I don’t have down riggers yet to get deep enough for the trout. This month we should see a turn in temps and fishing will get better. 👍Fish on!!!

Randy's for the win.

PIP is on !

Thanks my man. Time to get out soon.

Honestly, the best ones we have built are the ones on seat brackets. Strongest and most stable. IMO. Thanks for watching Jett. Fish on in SC my friend.

Also, picked up those gloves. Thanks for info. They seem pretty jice.

Haven't worked on the table yet. Focused on fishing now. Thanks for watching DT. Fish on!

I won't be buying any more of them for sure. Appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching.

@@fishingwithvance that's fine, everyone has their preference I was just sharing my experience with their products personally.

Thanks Wayn. Hope you are well and able to get out there soon.

Thanks Jett. Can't wait to get back out there. Great time of year to be fishin. Go catch em
