24 inch Paddingstone bass - peter805 - 07-14-2010

So I made a lost minute decision today and went
fishing at Paddingstone.
It was a really nice day but the fishing was very slow
for me today for some reason. I caught only one bass
a huge 24 incher.
I was waiting for the last magic hour to hit the top water
with some divers before they kick me out at 7:00 pm.
Well the fire helicopter showed up (again) and they kicked everyone off the lake. Thanx god it was only one
hour left but still that is the best hour.
Anyways enjoy the pix.[Wink]

Hey, I caught a whole mess of those 24" bass last week. I sure wish I had charged up my camera so I could have posted my pictures too. [sly]

BTW did you get your wheel system to work how you wanted it?

Re: [cpierce] 24 inch Paddingstone bass - peter805 - 07-15-2010

Well, Im still using the wheel that the toon came with. It
is a pain in the a$$ to put it on and off because of the
rear deck .
I have to lift the toon up on my shoulder and try to put
the wheel on .......................not easy.
So Im still looking for a better way.

One thing I thought about for a pontoon is using an old trolling motor mount, then you can just kick it up or down. Not sure where you could scavenge one. It would have to be centered until you get in the water, but then could be moved over to the side and out of the way of your reg motor if you have one. It was just a passing thought -- I haven't tried it. Good luck!

DANG! My old MinnKota kissed it last year and I just trashed the whole thing...That would be perfect for that!

Girl, you are amazing!

Great idea[Wink] I have two and a front wheel off of a small bicycle. This could be something[laugh]
Thanks another project[sly][fishin]

You might have to add an L-bracket or a pin to keep it in place as you bump over rocks etc. Just something to catch on the bottom lip of your mount. They are more designed to stop a motor slipping downward rather than upward.
Anyway interesting to mess with. At least then your wheel won't be taking up space or dragging in the water.
