Most of them get put by the apple trees. Last spring was the first year I started planting fish there so we will see what they look like this spring. Buried about 800 carp there last year.

Why? Up north where I started hunting sometimes you go when it's below freezing and it stays that way for days or weeks. Any water that gets left in the boat from the dog jumping in and out will turn solid if I don't get it out immediately. I have a place where I stick the plug and it won't fall out or get lost. Spare ones too.

90% of what I shoot are commons. During the spawn in the right spots we averaged a fish in the boat every 3 minuets with 3 guys. The Saginaw bay is infested with em.

stays in the water about 340 to 350 days a year.

they are made with foam in the bottom that is completely closed in with fiberglass. has a little bilge in the back that is about 12" x 12", 9" deep. any water that gets on the deck runs to the back, into the bilge and out the drain hole.

I swear to god man, its true. Lol
I get it. I read buffies statement "its never had a plug in" to mean a plug has never been inserted into the drain hole. Not "it doesn't have a drain hole". My layout doesn't have a drain plug either.

your not going to believe this, but it really is true :lol: :roll:





it has three drain holes, one on each side and one in the middle. i've got the ones on each side drilled out to fit a 2" plug so that any water that comes in over the bow can get out quicker.

Here's a REALLY good pointer. PRO-GUIDES taught me.

When there's a guy who can't call but won't quit what you do is ask, "you want me to pitch that for you?".
If they don't take the hint...PITCH IT INTO THE WATER.
Have seen it done and the reaction is priceless.
The offensive caller will hide his calls, never to be seen again.

well if you spend the money for all the shit, the gas, the time, and then it all works out and you end up filling the boat full of fish with your buds, you can atleast take the time to take a picture

Good god. I bet the Asians would buy them within their restaurants. Do you at least try to make coin? Looks like a Cambodians rig on national discovery to me.
