That is an awesome setup!! Looks like a perfect little crappie rig! Love seeing you catching them nice crappie! That was a real nice bass there at the end too!! Ton of fun on the light gear! Thanks for sharing

Thanks so much, Mat! It’s a great setup for catching a few crappie.

That was an amazing overview of the Pond Prowler and all its accessories and modifications. I’m definitely going to bookmark this video. I love the sound of the drag squeal on the Daiwa UL Reel. Some of the Crappie have such exquisite coloration. Wish I was closer to Tennessee so I could catch some real Slabs. The Crappie at 15:10 was amazing 🎣💥⭐️🥇

Thanks so much, Ron! If you ever get down this way, let me know and we’ll go try to catch a few!

What a great video of your rig Chris! Such a great setup. Love the 2hp motor. It’s the perfect vessel to get out on the water and fits in either your truck or trailer!! Ripping up some Crappie showing how it’s done. Excellent video my friend!!!

@swampstalkeroutdoors 4 месяца назад

Awesome job on the rig overview brother! I really like that setup and being the fella that likes that extra biscuit I can relate to the fact of wanting something a lot more stable🤣 Digging the new studio looks nice. You keep it up and the outdoor tv channels with have hit out on you, you gonna be stealing their views👍😜 Keep up the great work buddy and keep on them crappie!

I have a 14ft jon boat and a couple of years ago got me a Quest Angler 10 and I love that thing. Since buying I haven't taken the jon boat out. Very versatile boat. Now if I could catch some fish😂, Great video!

@pistolcreek 4 месяца назад

That’s awesome! I agree, these little boats this style are great. I sold my 12ft Jon Boat before buying this one. Unfortunately, I have the same issue as you… just gotta learn how to actually catch fish!😂

@monzsterman 4 месяца назад

@@pistolcreek you look like you do pretty good there. I use to fish a lot in the rivers and had no problem there but branched out to fishing some reservoirs and that's a whole different ball game but as they say. Any day on the water is a good one, catching fish or not.

@pistolcreek 4 месяца назад

@monzsterman The skinny water of a creek or river is definitely easier to locate fish in. I know what you mean

@_Subaru_2024 4 месяца назад

Nice setup! You may want to make your battery cutout a little bit bigger and put the battery in a battery box. If something like a screw driver or the metal handle on your lantern accidently comes in contact with both battery terminals then you will have sparks flying and metal melting on your plastic boat.

@pistolcreek 4 месяца назад

That’s a great point! I’ll see if I can work a box or cover in somehow. Appreciate you pointing that out. I’m just clumsy enough to zap myself with a net pole or something.😂

@_Subaru_2024 4 месяца назад

@@pistolcreek something similar did happen to me. Lucky I didn't burn myself and lucky that the battery didn't explode. One of the battery terminals did start to melt! Great mods to your boat. I have the Pond Prowler 10 and your video gave me a lot of ideas!

Maybe you could do a video on your fishfinder sometime .I have the same one and it didn’t come with any instructions and I don’t know anybody else that has a fishfinder.

@pistolcreek 4 месяца назад

There is a fella here on RU-vid who has a whole video series on the Garmin Striker fish finder. His channel is @1cast1fish and the videos are excellent. He covers every single setting and teaches you how to use it. Check him out sometime.

@DixieNormous1 4 месяца назад

@@pistolcreek I watched some of them. I guess I’m a slow learner.😅😂🤣 I was wondering what the hills meant on your hat ,was that the old department store we had years ago or something different?

@rifleman522 20 дней назад

Great video. How has the 50ah battery held up for you? Do you recommend?

@pistolcreek 20 дней назад

Thank you so much! I am loving the battery, so far. I have used and charged it about 25-30 times now and it does great. My friend just ordered the same battery in the 100ah size for his 10-foot Bass Raider, which you can see in my latest video titled “Catching Panfish with a Pelican”.

@user-wt9kk7hm6c 4 месяца назад

I have one of these boats and love it. I've been thinking about getting an outboard motor for it so I can travel farther on the lakes I fish. I've been using a trolling motor and I can only travel so far on it before the battery gets low. I was just wondering what length shaft is your outboard motor?

@pistolcreek 4 месяца назад

I believe the Honda comes in a 16.5” and a 22.5” shaft version. I have the shorter shaft version. It’s just barely long enough for this boat, but works out perfect for shallow water. Another thing you might consider is looking into lithium batteries for your trolling motor. You can troll for several hours with a big enough Ah battery and they are small/lightweight. I love my outboard, but if the cost of an outboard wasn’t an option.. I’d look at buying either a 200Ah lithium or maybe 2 smaller batteries. Thank you for watching!

Thanks for replying. I appreciate it.

@VHGbham 29 дней назад

Thanks, Chris! Just got myself a Bass Tracket Bantam 2x and ordered a Hangkai 4 stroke. Do you find you could use a rudder on your outboard when floating? I'm on Lay Lake in Alabama, and looks like we have similar current and conditions.

@pistolcreek 29 дней назад

Yessir. A rudder on the opposite end, or a trolling motor, makes a huge difference in tracking. Without it, it can want to spin on you pretty easily.

@VHGbham 29 дней назад

@@pistolcreek gotcha! Prolly gonna go with a scotty mount and the rudder you use on the bow, and put the 4hp on the back. Ty so much! I always use your affiliate links. I know a few pennies isn't much, but I'm eventually gonna get pretty much all the stuff you use. 🤜🤛

@pistolcreek 29 дней назад

@VHGbham Appreciate the support, my friend! Let me know how that setup turns out for you. Sounds like a winner.

@pistolcreek 29 дней назад

@VHGbham Another note, you may be aware, but some folks take a mounting bracket made for a trolling motor and add a piece of pvc pipe to make an adjustable rudder. I have seen some guys here on RU-vid do that. I think one channel that shows it may be Humbug Outdoors. He has a Pond Prowler 8.

@VHGbham 27 дней назад

@@pistolcreek thank you so much! Yessir, I did see Humbug's mod, and I've got an old Motor Guide mount already. That's a perfect idea! But I can already tell I'm gonna need more handles for carrying and do the wheel mod. The weight is increasing fast! And I'm unloading from a cargo van. We have a boat launch at the end of my driveway, but I can't keep the boat at the pier more than a day or two, and I prolly won't anyway when the motor comes Friday.
