I am very limited for space in back end with gas can and anchor. I do NOT have room for a regular 12 volt battery. I came up with a cheap way to power fish finder and save space at same time Buy 2 small 6 volt flashlight batteries, at a local discount store. I got mine for about $3 each. Next tape them together, then wire them in series to provide a 12 VOLT supply. Connect power cord to fish finder as with a normal hook up. This saves YOU lot of money, space, and no heavy weight to lug to and from boat.

A courtesy copy of your publication would be greatly appreciated! Thank You. HOME MADE BOBBER FOR CATFISHING I have lost a couple of larger bobbers when fishing for catfish on Ohio River. Even when I bought them at a flea market they still cost $3 each. Once line breaks on a snag that bobber is gone forever with current. So a friend of mine show me a way to make up my own bobber that cost next to nothing. The biggest concern is how much current you plan on fishing in with boober. A large bobber can be made to handle 5-6 ounces in sinkers to hold line steady. A smaller one 3-5 ounces will do a good job for you. For a large bobber use a 20 ounce plastic soft drink bottle. A smaller one use either an 8 or 12 ounce plastic juce bottle. Stuff bottle with styrofoam pieces. One source I use is styrofoam take out coffee cups. Just cut them up and stuff in bottle until filled. Screw a very small eyelet screw into top of bottle cap. Put some glue in cap by screw and inside of cap then tighten it to bottle.
