So with these high end tubes, what’s the reason for not building out a kayak for roughly the same cost? Why give up the extra maneuverability of a yak?

I can only speak for myself, but I like the feel of fishing from a tube better than fishing from a kayak. I may not be able to go as fast or as ...

Hey all!
I have been working on this upgrade for a while now and here is the SDFish unveiling of the Robotube 3.0. Please let me know if you have any questions about the setup or suggestions. Cheers!

For those of you interested in adding a motor to your float tube I highly recommend Bixpy. It will mount under virtually any tube with their glue on fin mount.

I've been running a Bixpy motor under my float tubes for over 6 years now, fishing an average of 4 days per week, and it has been a ...

Wife got me a Bixby for Christmas. She went big and got the Angler Pro kit. Will be mounting on my PDL 106. Have a lot to learn about it (opened last night. We were on holiday). Will get it registered this week. Hopefully can get it done at AAA.

Sounds like you need to replace the head unit

Just went through this with my Riptide 24v 80#. Took it to Nick at The Trolling Motor Doctor and diagnosed it as needing the head unit.

Pretty much any thing you use will leak after awhile if you are using it on the sand... Sand will destroy any seal you have and make the bait container leak... I use old prescription pill bottles, and after a couple of uses toss out in favor of a new one... They don't leak, a bottle will hold 1 pack ...

Just sayin'

I cheer on whomever is losing, so I root for both. I just like close games, keeps it more interesting.

Chargers are dead to me still, so that's my new philosophy

Just saw an alarming article in the UT today, front page. City Council wants to take rates up for Barrett another 34% for users. From $30.00 to $45.00! I have a call out to Bryan Norris(619.668.2014) for clarifications.......stay tuned. Meanwhile please don't hesitate to call your local City Council ...

Quick update Junkies......Just spoke with Bryan, this is way above his pay grade. All of the info is available for public view on the City of SD website...."Public Utilities Fiscal Year 2026 User Fees". In the overview it says "a comprehensive user fee study every three to five years" We just went ...

Awesome day I arrived 10:30 pm Tuesday night 6 trucks in front of me . Met some cool guys talking in line . 4:30 am we're heading to the dock . 25 minutes later both my buddy and I are hooked up . Fishing on fire within an hour we have 20 fish each . In the morning I throw 4" senkos set up Neko ...

I love the dudes that are like, "I caught 124 and a half," as if they literally counted each one.

But who's posting fake reports?

Another one (youtube) went up after this weekend. Maybe time for the admins to step in. The group here is looking for helpful intel, not videos begging for views or bragging stories.

I try to post a report every time I go to Barrett. I do it, just to share the information with a bunch of people who I have gotten to know through this site and when I do, I hope it is helpful to others. Those people who see me on the water, know that I'll share what's working, if I have a pattern ...

It seems like this post has gotten on a fish-count track, all well and fine, but I think it started due to old catch pics being included or even other lakes. Then yesterday a video was posted as this weekend and the lake was obviously higher than it is this year. The road down to the dock, parking ...

Although I did not have the pleasure of fishing the opener,I can honestly say that an above average angler can boat 100 in a whole day. I’m talking 6am-6pm. If you kept throwing jigs and plastics the possibility was there. No matter how good the bite is, there’s always that late morning to early ...

Ok, time to come clean! That time when I reported that I caught 4 bass on the old site... I may have lost count!

Let it go!

Maybe an odd question, but do you count your fish? If so, why?

I primarily fish with my 9-year-old son Theo, and like a lot of you, we’ve made a habit of counting how many fish we catch. It started simply enough — it’s not hard to remember 4 fish days —but as we’ve improved, I’m happy to say that ...
