Ive found some weird viny grass near an island never had any luck on it myself had froged the heck out of it yet saw anothr who fished gitzits catch keepers out of it.
At any rate frogs again no go,but steve hubers secret weapon spinnerbait had them swatting it yet no actual takers,so in went my Hart buzzbait bleeding red shiner,and in about 1 mile of such grass,in places like this.

No not schoolers as they are chunkier for lack of a better word whom Steve coined they are Tenn racing bass,scrawny lil things no real meat on them.
But fun none the less.

Yeah, that's the Kentucky Lake I know!

man that fish looks hungry

[lilmule]

At least I post pics of fish even if hungry scrawny lil critters
ky lake is chock full of those 14 1/2 and 14 3/4 fish as a 15 in length limit,and a year ago would have given my eye teeth for a sackfull of them back in ohio
They would win most ohio river t or even those aba lake T
Here most of them are just short,several of those 1/2 doz would have made it and counted just not counted for much at least not here

Well, I had to get away from the house, so I went out for a couple hours this afternoon. There's a storm front moving in and I tore the bass up. Unfortunately, the fish were either short and chunky or Tennessee Racing Bass!

But, what they lacked in size, they more than made up in numbers. I caught six bass in six casts!

It was "interesting" holding the boat in the wind. Occasionally I'd take some water over the bow on a particularly large roller! I'll bet some of the time I was pitching five feet rising over one wave and dropping into a trough!

But it was fun.

Youve got what a 103 pd thrust tm?
On my 70 was a going backwards,and its carolina I think or remnants there of getting here tomorrow afternoon,then you will see rollers these are biddy lil things.Hope you left your pole seat in as they are neat to grab onto.

[OutdoorFrontiers]

Nope, I've only got a 75 lb. thrust trolling motor, but it's got a Kipawa high thrust prop, that makes all the difference. :)

I did just about pitch out of the boat a couple times when I had a fish on and forgot about running the trolling motor. The boat went sideway and really started rocking and rolling! I felt like I was :drunk:

Kipawa high thrust prop,just whar do I get one
And ive got a spare 72 pder ive been toying with mounting as dont seem like this 70 is near as good when the wind hits,was also wondering if I had a full charge.

Thanks seems that not only with boat propellers its the same with trolling motor props the more blades the merrier.

[Island Breeze]

Aren't those props are for MK's only?

[lilmule]

When one goes to the web site read the testimonials,while mfg statements references state MK,MG one crossreferences with hub diameter.

[Bullet20dc]

nope they make both

[Island Breeze]

Hub diameter on MG is 31/2" do you think the 35/8 would work?

[OutdoorFrontiers]

The only thing you can do is contact them and ask. I wouldn't think that an extra 1/8th inch would make a difference, but who knows?

Steve

[lilmule]

Some testimonials on the web page,come from mg owners
5 propellers that will fit over 150 electric trolling motor models manufactured in the past 30 yrs.
1-800-507-5866

And, I forgot to mention that my trolling motor is a MotorGuide Beast 775, a 24/36 volt, 75 lb. thrust motor. I run it as a 36 volt system.

Steve

[lilmule]

I also forget what im running as have run both,but let my mg go with the ranger,have two maxim a 70 and a 72 pd thrust MK.
But these people make them for just about everything.

[Island Breeze]

Here is the response I got from Kippewa asking about props for MG.
Hello,

Thank you for your interest, I'm sorry to say we do not have a propeller for MotorGuide Motors at this time.

[Bullet20dc]

I know for a fact they have several that fit MG most of my club uses them
call them and ask for Dave. MG use a pin type not the D shaft and they make one or 2 that fit that also.
warning tho don't believe the hype. no diff in weeds, draw 1/2 amp more and minimal increase in speed. AND EXPENSIVE around 45.00

[Bullet20dc]

oh I forgot they void your warranty on MG and MK. don't believe me... read it on your paperwork you got with the TM

[lilmule]

Ok I know whar to get one,and that it will void my warrenty lol like i still have one ten years later.
But unless you have a pic of ky lake

My pics rest my case you guys are just envious of those scrappy lil fellers.

The reason why you can no longer get a Kipawa prop for a MotorGuide is that MotorGuide bought the sales/marketing rights and relabeled it as the Hydrilla Hacker.

As far as an increase in performance, that's for you to decide. But I like mine, it chews through weeds and holds me in the current better than the standard prop that came on the motor.

I was just curious. I recently got a new MG Safari prop which is insane. I've mown lanes in the grass and come back through with a crankbait. It claims to give more battery life but I haven't noticed I have a 36v system and can fish 2-3 days on a charge.

I thought that prop looked familiar.:wallbash::wallbash: A buddy of mine has one on his motor guide and it does do good in the thick stuff

[southernbassguy]

By the way those were still some good looking fish lilmule. I through a buzzbait this past Saturday until the paint was coming off(just kidn) with no luck. Had to resort to flippin the boat docks.
