    Taking Inflatables To A Whole New Level

    That style stripping basket was available on the Colorado XTS and used in place of one of the side gear bags I think. I'm not sure if it was also available on other Colorado models.

    Non-Fly trout?

    If you pick up a casting bubble, your sister can use any of your fly patterns that are hot. I pre-rig my bubbles on a short leader that can be quickly put on or removed.

    Info on TFO bug launcher office rod?

    TFO does sell a version of the Bug Launcher with reel seat. Do your rod have an end cap that can be removed - maybe a generic reel seat could be added?

    Small Stream/Rivers Nets suggestion ps

    I've used a Frabill Trout Net for the last couple of years and have been happy with it. It has a deeper net basket than some other nets. The handle has a bit of a curve which I find helps scooping fish with arthritic wrists! The curved handle also works well with belt style net holsters. I...

    Fishin Buddy Max Battery Life?

    I had the same experience as Buzzy using rechargeable AAs with Fishin' Buddy 120 - I got less than a day. I switched to disposable Energizer Max batteries and would usually get 20 hours from a set. My friend has an FB 140C and is a big fan of rechargable for cameras, GPS, etc. He initially...

    Outcast Cougar pontoon

    Great deal for a Cougar! I attached a copy of Fish Cat Panther instructions from Outcast that should be almost identical to your Cougar. Outcast customer service is great and very responsive. I've purchased used Fish Cat Streamer and a used Fish Cat Scout and gotten great advice from...

    Legacy OSG Commander Anchor "system"

    Like you, I prefer having permanent Scotty mounts where possible. If your rail mount does interfere with your foot, could you use a Scotty strap-on, or glue-on, mount right in front of the foot peg? I have used the strap-on mount/anchor lock shown below a couple of times on my Fish Cat Scout...

    Trolling motor on a Stealth Pro?

    As @mickey rat mentioned, I'm using a Fish Cat Scout but the motor mount could easily be used on a Stealth Pro. It's just a basic 'L' shape. The cam straps going forward to the Scout tie-down loops support the motor weight and prevent the motor mount from rotating around the pontoon. I do have...

    problems with my Fishing Buddy depth finder: - any input appreciated

    It's apparently a fairly common problem with the original Fishin Buddy battery packs. These guys have an upgraded battery pack - if you don't mind supporting us "nasty" Canadians! Ken

    Pontoon transportation/ hitch rack ideas

    Just spit-balling, but how about modifying a folding hitch bike carrier to give you similar functionality to the EZ packer carrier. I would think you could bolt on a couple of vertical posts to lash the Colorado to. A bike rack suitable to two e-bikes should be strong enough for your Colorado.

    Float tube pump?

    I picked up an inexpensive inline pressure gauge that stays on the hose of my hand pump. No extra effort involved. Works on Cdn lakes as well, eh! ;)

    Float tube pump?

    This is from a set of Super Fat Cat instructions I have:

    DIY cargo storage hacks for pontoons?

    Actually all my fishing with the Scout has been stillwater so I haven't been concerned with rod security. I do have a Scotty on the left side for my active rod and I've removed the restraining strap on it as well. I have the holder oriented horizontally though so the reel hangs vertically...

    DIY cargo storage hacks for pontoons?

    For rod holders, I've used these Bass Pro rod holders without the aluminium spike. It's light gauge PVC so I've used a box cutter to extend the slot and add a "notch to lock the reel in place. I've attached something similar to the front of my Fish Cat Scout for my spare rod (I'm left-handed)...

    Low cost landing net

    Checkout FB Marketplace and Craig's List. There always seems to be 3 or 4 decent looking ones listed in our area for $30 or less.

    Trolling motor on a Stealth Pro?

    I think the combination of the anchor mount off the side patch in combination with Phil's eyebolt off the motor mount would be a great combination. That's kind of what I had in mind with the marked up photo. I have my Scotty anchor lock of the side of my homemade mount and even though the...

    Trolling motor on a Stealth Pro?

    I'd email Outcast customer service directly and ask them - they are very responsive. And Phil is Outcast's ambassador. I don't think it would be a problem for that IGS patch though. Those IGS patches are thermo welded and the bonded area on the rear IGS patch is quite a big larger than the...

    Trolling motor on a Stealth Pro?

    Regarding rear anchor with a motor, the screen grab below is from 4:31 mark of yet another Outcast video by Phil Rowley. Most of the drone footage is blurred but it does come into focus around 4:10 mark. Phil has put an eyebolt on his motor mount and appears to use a carabiner to guide the...

    Trolling motor on a Stealth Pro?

    Installing a motor on the Stealth Pro is pretty straight forward with the mount above. Outcast has produced Video 1 and Video 2 that cover the basics. As @mickey rat mentioned, I have an Outcast Scout with trolling motor. With the fixed seats that we have in the Outcast Scout and Stealth...

    "Cart" for Outcast Scout

    I found this picture in my files that I think I got from the other site. All you'd need is a few cam straps. The larger rubber tires would probably be better than my plastic tires for a longer distance. Easy to rotate the tires up once you get to your destination.
