Blazer Bay 2170

February 14, 2010 at 10:43am

I am considering buying a Blazer Bay 2170 - do any 2170 owners have opinions about the boat and what size motor would you recommend - 150, 175, or 200 HP- and which brand motor - suzuki or yamaha- thanks for the information

Look down 5 posts to the one that says "4 stroke" it is a disscusion on which motor is better. For me it is the Suzuki DF 175. Good luck.

Been playing with the Sea Tow app and really like it. Highly recommend giving it a try. It has a lot of functions. Weather, water temp, gps coordinates, compass, speed, and much more. I was able to uninstall a few apps because this one does so much. Just wanted to share because I like it so much.…

I dowmloaded the app and got the tide chart working but I can't get the weather. It keeps searching with no results ('checking location')?

Fishing after a hurricane?

August 29, 2012 at 11:14am

In the past how has a hurricane effected the fishing the week or two weeks after the storm? Not talking about snags, more like were they biting more, less, etc..

We went the week after gustav and ike hit, The fishing was unreal for trout, every cast was a fish on, The bayou was loaded with grass wads and just took a while to get out, Went a ways and then had to put the motor in reverse and sling the grass off, Suggest going out after good safe light too

A question for fishing guides on reels to recommend

Huckleberry

July 11, 2016 at 8:45pm

You guys probably see and use more spinning equipment than about anyone else. My old Shimano Sedona 4000 has given me great service on specks and reds. But it's getting a bit worn and beat up. It' time for a new reel or two.

What do you recommend for the bayous, marshes…

I just tried to add this to a post, but the post got pulled. All the crap is getting really tiring. If I can't come here to get fishing news, what's the use of coming here at all. If everyone would just NOT reply to the garbage, it would go away. TRY IT! PLEASE.

Just my opinion here , but this should be the best weekend so far this year for those of you that like to fish sacalait . The weather should be dang near perfect and the water temps should be climbing back up for the slabs to start moving up in the shallows to start their spawn .
