If you spent anytime catching fish in a kayak or bass boat, you know that deck padding can get pretty raunchy. I like to mixed a bucket of water and dish soap with a nylon brush and wash mitt to get the grunge off. Sometimes I’ll soak the whole thing down with a heavy cleaner like Purple Power or simple green. I know people like adding a protectant like 303 but I tend to replace my decals every so often when I jack them up and like them to stick, so I never have. What protectant do you like?

Hi everyone, happy to be a part of the group. I am from South Carolina and fish for giant smallmouth in the Broad River. I also like to hit some big lakes too. Not a tournament guy, but super interested in the business of Skool and how it all works. It's gonna be a great year!

As some of you already know, I just freshly added the new Garmin stern mount motor with spot lock. I just put it in the water for the first time yesterday for about ten minutes and the way it comes out of the box there is a definite learning curve. I’m going to do some adjustments and put some more seat time in before giving the true test down at the Classic. Once I get the hang of it, I think this will be the ultimate hands free fishing motor. I’ll post updates as edits right here. What do you want to know about it? Update: Top speed on 24 volts is 5.6 mph loaded down, 4.6 mph on 12 volts. Just learned today how to get it to navigate a track from a waypoint on the graph, very awesome feature. Spot lock is extremely accurate and strong.

This sometimes feels like politics, so let’s not get to that point, I’m just curious lol.

I believe true fishing efficiency comes from the right equipment. This post is to answer fishing rod questions. I will be making a course soon, breaking down the first big step I took to improve my competitiveness.
