Overall I have been very pleased with Moultrie game cameras and the battery life has been fairly good. That was up until we tested the Moultrie M-80 trail camera in the plot stalker mode. At its current settings it was just shy of 3,000 pictures a day and it didn’t take more than 2 days to kill the AA batteries. The only way to run a trail camera in a plot scenario is to use an external solar panel like the Moultrie Power Panel. The solar panel is easy to setup and connect any Moultrie game camera and in the long run will save money on disposable batteries.

Q. Why are round and oblong tanks best for keeping bait fish? A. Fin fish used for bait naturally school in a circular pattern, so round and oblong tanks are the best choice.

Locating feeding fish is one of the most important skills a fisherman can develop. You can mark fish on your fish finder and not entice them to strike your lure if they are not in their "feeding zone"! Most species of fish have a preffered temperature of water that they will actively feed in. Find this area of temperture with fish present and you will greatly increase your chances of catching fish. Remember, fish are cold blooded. In water too cold, fish will be dormant,sluggish and will not feed. In water too warm, they will be seeking a more comfortable environment.
