I have a kayak bass tournament this Saturday, with GAKFL.... Does anyone have any juice on Hickory Log Creek Res , Canton, Ga.?? I've never been and won't have time to prefish.. Of course I'll be looking at Omni, youtube and Google earth... but just wanted to know if anyone has fished it lately... (I don't use ffs).

Y'all, when I say life been life'in.... I realized I have not been able to fish since May 16th 🤯🤯🤯🤯... Thank God I am going on vacation now. I'll be beach bound on Saturday. Gonna hit up inshore and an area of the river we pass on the way, to catch some bass... So Florida folks and intercoastal folks. How far inland does the brackish water stop? I'll be going about 30 mins from the bay. So will reds and other inshore fish still be present? How much will tide and everything effect the river etc?
Hey y’all, hope everyone’s having a good day so far! Earlier this week I made a post about some boat issues I’m having and it brought me to something else that’s been heavy on my mind regarding boating and maintenance. B Latt, you’ve done a great job detailing some items to consider when in the market for a used boat. Anyone in this market, please check these videos out. It makes all the difference! About 2 months ago I got this 2010 Ranger 518 with a Pro XS 200, ol 2 smoker! Soon after I got the boat I paid a fellow here on Lake Murray to install an impeller and all new spark plugs. He also did a compression check, all cylinders showed over 100 psi. Well within a good range. I ran this boat every single day for about a month until I noticed that my boat was stuck running about 4500 rpm’s. That’s all she had. I immediately shut the boat down and trailered her over to this gentleman to try and diagnose the issue. I was told he checked the plugs once again and wasn’t able to duplicate my issue or find any codes. I of course went to run the boat that same day and again, same issue. Boat runs fine, pees great, idles great! Nothing past 4500. I waited a couple of weeks until the mechanic got back from a Memorial Day vacation and dropped it off again. A day later I got a call that my boat needed a power head. A “compression check” had been done and I was showing 70ish psi on all six cylinders.. I do have a little bit of a maintenance background (military) so I knew in my gut something was off. I was quoted $12,500 for a power head. Instead, I opted to pick my boat up that day and resorted to checking things out myself. Yesterday I was able to get my hands on a compression tester. The first thing that I noticed was that all 6 plugs that I had paid for to be replaced were long gone. Burnt UP! After doing the compression check with a mechanic here at home myself, I showed 100+ psi on all 6 cylinders, all well within a good range of each other. Also to note, one coil had some more than mild corrosion on it and low and behold coils happen to be a common issue with these early pro xs motors. Although I haven’t gotten the boat fixed yet, parts have been ordered and fingers crossed for a solid boat next week. With this said, please y’all, pay for a second opinion. Do your research on dealers/mechanics. Learn this stuff! Knowing that there’s some people out here that have said yes in my case is sickening. Us anglers have a target on our backs being our hobby’s cost us as it is. I always try to have faith in mankind, but I don’t mistake my kindness as weakness either. If you or anybody you know needs work done around the Lake Murray area (South Carolina) or anywhere for that matter, please be mindful. Our time on the water is sacred and boat issues are enough as it is! God bless y’all and tight lines 🎣
