re: Power pole or minn kota raptor for anchor?
Posted by Doc2600 on 11/4/24 at 11:03 pm to headboard banger
I’ve owned power poles on multiple different boats for the past 10 years. I have zero complaints. I always go 10 foot due to muddy bottom in marsh. Work great. The customer service is UNRIVALED. I’ve had hydraulic lines blow which were easily repaired with free overnight parts. They also sent me a new motor for free to replace a 10 year old one. They respond damn near instantly any time any day of the week and are always willing to help. It’s hard to find a company like that these days

Boat labor around baton rouge
Posted by Doc2600 on 7/12/23 at 10:36 am
I’ve got a 2012 phoenix bass boat that has a leak in the live well tubing. Ive got all the parts for everything from phoenix to replace livewell system/bilge/etc. I worked on it all of 30 minutes before I said screw it. I’ve got 4 batteries, onboard changer, and 2 power pole bumps that would have to be removed to get in there. My plan is to change out everything and put new bilge/aerator while they are down there. I’ve tried David wade marine and they were not interested. Does anyone have recommendations for this kind of work at/near Baton Rouge?
re: Trolling Motor Recommendations
Posted by Doc2600 on 7/28/22 at 8:18 pm to Yeahbuddy35
I’ve had motor guide and min kota. Motor guide is small prop high rpm and minn kota is bigger prop lower rpm. My experience is MK wins by a long shot with respect to running in vegetation. I always had to clean the motor guide off even with a ninja blade added. I’ve gone through the thickest vegetation imaginable with minn kota and rarely if ever have to clean it off. I had the top of the line tour pro motor guide. Now I run MK ultrex on my bass boat and MK riptide Terova on my bay boat. I always go with 36v 110+ Lb. IMO the trolling motor is the most important component to the boat given 99% of my fishing is done with it deployed
I would recommend buying from a secondary vendor as they may be able to help you out much easier than dealing with the company directly.
Standard mapping
Posted by Doc2600 on 7/19/22 at 8:48 pm
I bought the premium Louisiana one chip directly from the company. They sent me the standard card without any of the detailed stuff in the premium(safe routes,etc). I paid an additional 200 bucks for the upgrade and instead got the basic card. No big deal for the mix up but I’ve been trying to contact them with email, phone, voicemail, etc for the past week without any luck. Has anyone else dealt with this company before?

re: Boat motor size recommendation
Posted by Doc2600 on 6/7/22 at 8:38 am to Doctor Strangelove
I use to run an 18ft aluminum triton with 150 merc pro xp. It was a 2 stroke so fairly light weight but I think the new 4 strokes have improved the weight differential. I’m not someone who tries to optimize every MPH and never once felt like it was overpowered. Seems there is a trend to underpower newer aluminum boats. I wouldn’t even consider an 18 plus foot boat if it didn’t have at least 150hp. If the price is right I would go for it. I haven’t heard many people complain about a motor being too big
I recently bought a Tudor black bay bronze from Jomashop a few months back. Everything went perfectly and was as advertised.
re: OT'ers who had an IVP test on kidneys
Posted by Doc2600 on 5/25/22 at 6:51 am to the LSUSaint
That sounds reasonable. Sometimes a mag 3 scan is done should your IVP be abnormal or equivocal. This is the actual test that confirms the presence or absence of obstruction
re: OT'ers who had an IVP test on kidneys
Posted by Doc2600 on 5/23/22 at 9:33 pm to GetmorewithLes
IVP is an intravenous pyelogram. IV dye gets filtered into the collecting system of the kidneys and ureters. X-rays are taken to follow to contrast to looks for obstruction, stones, etc. The test is worthless if you are full of poop. A Noncontrast CT is by far superior to IVP if they are looking for stones but there may be other things they are looking for
What do you think about the new LH GMT-Master II? I’m a lefty so it’s nice to see them do this for a relatively small market. Do you think it’s one of those limited/single release type models that will be highly collectible or lose value given the smaller target market? I have a Batman/hulk/explorer ii. Thinking I may consider taking a profit on the Batman and getting the lefty watch
I’ve tried just about every call out there and would have to say the acrylic yentzen sure shot one 2. You can do pretty much everything with it. It’s expensive as hell but in my opinion worth it…. If only there were ducks around to hear it
It’s in Proctors
Well I really appreciate the info thus far. Seems 24 fr boat would give me the ability to fish the lakes relatively safely while not compromising the marsh fishing too much. Long offshore runs have a chance to get squirrelly with any boat in the size range I would inshore fish with. I guess 24 ft may be best. The camp has 3 boat lifts so I could always buy another flats type boat down the road if I want to go in really skinny water

Not knowledgeable enough in the bay boat world to be familiar with Haynie. Do u have specs and an idea of what you looking to sell it for?
She’ll beach boat
Posted by Doc2600 on 2/20/22 at 10:36 pm
Recently purchased a camp in shell beach and plan on buying a boat to keep there. I’m a bass fisherman with a 21 ft boat but want a separate rig. Does anyone that fishes the area have an opinion on what size boat to get. I would imagine 90 percent of our time will be spent inshore going after bass/reds but ideally would have the capability to fish open water/even chandeleur islands if weather permits. I was thinking a 24 ft bay boat would be a good choice but would I be severely compromising marsh fishing out there?
