    Didn't realize you were on Douglas until you hauled it on the dock. One of the better lakes in the area for Large Mouth. I have the same pains with my 195. Looks like they've fixed some of the issues on the new layout, but I'm not trading just for that. I don't use those dry storage boxes much and thought about finding bluetooth or marine speakers to fit those holes and just doing away with them. I about traded/sold mine due to fit and finish issues. It's a budget boat, yes, but come on. Vinyl flooring pulling off the deck. Cutting my fingers on metal shards because they didn't clean it up well enough. Advertising drains on storage boxes when the drain tubes just terminate at the bulk head and not out the transom. I've learned to live with it, I guess.

    For the live wells, take a short thin strap like is used for the rod tie downs. Add one chrome connection piece to the live well and one to the boat. Stretch the short tie down strap between them when you are trailering the boat. Available at BPS. Quick and easy. Problem solved.

    Someone had dropped a can of that foam on the road and I hit it with the wheel of my truck and was hauling my new tracker. It went all over my boat and I could not get it off. For the most part after about 2 years, it kind of faded away from UV rays.

    I learned the hard way not changing the hooks when I first started using these baits ugh 😩. I lost a 9 to 11 pounder first time I fished a model A. Lure came out and hit me in the chest. My buddy had told me to change the hooks when I first bought one and when this happened to me he goes. I told you to change the hooks. Lesson learned and haven’t had any issues since. CHANGE THE HOOKS.

    Fished the Arkansas River last night and murdered the spotted bass on the Bandit 200 in red-crawdad. I was a little surprised because the shad were super thick, and bass were feeding on them, but they wanted the craw over shad patterns I threw. Once it touched the bottom in about 7 feet of water, it was getting slammed. Have to weed through the rough fish. I also caught four drum, and an alligator gar that was about 40" long and took me 35 minutes to land.

    Very informative video for this Floridian. I'm heading there in 2 weeks, with my boat. I understand in the heart of the summer, it's tough fishing. In your opinion, should I just forget about beating the bank, and just try to find offshore fish? I'm going up there blind, other than watching videos like yours. Also, is there any tips you'd pass along for catching smallmouth? It'd be too cool to catch at least one of those. Thanks for any other advice. This video alone was a great starting point.

    Great information! One question. I’m fishing a 100 acre lake that has gizzard Shad. I’m seeing baitballs that I assume are gizzard fry. I’m wondering if during the summer months if there tendency will be to stay out away from the banks unlike threadfins. Haven’t fished this lake long but I’ve not seen fry up shallow or in shallow cover during warm months thus shallow fishing has not been like you’d expect. So I’m thinking the bigger bass are out with them?
