Oh yeah for sure! Being able to slowly move forward down a bank is a game changer. When I was originally figuring out my setup I contacted Bixby and asked them about what I wanted to do. They said they’d never heard of anyone doing that on a float tube. That’s why I went with Blue Robotics. I’m still happy with my decision but have heard nothing but great things about Bixpy’s products and service. Glad you hear you had a good experience and got an upgrade to boot!Dannicus wrote: Sat Dec 21, 2024 8:23 amWell after almost 3 years of absolute worry free reliability, fishing an average of 3-4 days per week, and countless hours of use, my Bixpy motor finally just stopped. I got off the water and called Bixpy and they told me to bring it in (they are located right here in Mira Mesa), which I did that same morning.VinnyBass wrote: Fri Dec 20, 2024 6:43 amHope your equipment issued gets fixed and those baits do look awesome!Dannicus wrote: Fri Dec 20, 2024 4:25 am Well no luck on the strolling baits at Murray, but to be fair I didn't give them a great try. I ran into some equipment issues and had to cut my morning really short lol
And adding my 2 cents regarding Murray... if 10 sticks of dynamite were detonated at different areas of the lake, it may not produce a decent bass these days. I thought my Lowrance was broken on my last tripsince only schools of bluegill were showing up on the screen...![]()
The motor cord sheath started to separate at the battery connection several weeks ago and it continued to work fine, but evidently water finally made its way down the cord and into the motor housing and fried the internal circuit board. They were going to fix it for a very reasonable amount (they are a great company with excellent customer service).
My battery and remote were fine, but I have had my eye on the bigger battery for some time, so I opted to purchase an entirely new Pro Angler K1 kit. They gave me 25% off my purchase for trading in my old unit.
I can't say enough good things about Bixpy. It has been an absolute game changer in how I fish, and I never really worry about wind with it. As I'm sure Chris can attest with his motor setup, the ability to go forward and backward is extremely handy in positioning too.
Success at Otay!!!
