Summer kicks off in just a few days, are you ready for it? It's a good idea to check those batteries, bilges and lights before venturing off to the landing! Does your horn work? A mirror is also a good idea if towing a person(s), are your ropes and winch in good shape? How about that throwable cushion and life jackets, they need to be tear free, fit nicely and match every person on the boat!

The trailer needs a peak as well, jack each wheel up, grab the tire top to bottom and physically rock it, there should only be bit of play, spin it, there should not be any noises, growling or scraping. Speaking of tire, how does it look, is the tread even and plentiful, is there weather checking or unusual wear patterns? Are they aired up properly?

If you are unsure on any of these we would love to help! Does your boat need an update in technology instead, not a problem as thats our specialty. If you fish or bost at night I highly reccommend investing in a Night vision camera, even docking and loading the boat is considerably safer when you can see, add to it that it works in the daytime for tubing activities and collision avoidance!

It's the small details that make for a quality install! Just about every boat we setup we add a spray shield and the Si Ducer in the same position as if we were mounting all 3 transducers.

This works two fold, we are able to get the first transducer as far from the prop as possible while also leaving room on the port side of the board in case you decide to add the high speed transducer down the road.

If you grow tired of trimming the motor to see the left side we can now mount a board and left Side Imaging transducer to match the starboard side all while maintaining the symmetry on your transom!

Our "small town shop with big dreams" address may read Chippewa Falls but we are actually located in the town of Eagle Point and so when the opportunity to outfit the Eagle Point Fire Department small boat arose, we jumped at it!

Thanks to donations they were able to add an Xplore 9 with transducer that will be able to keep them in deep enough water, have the ability to input and navigate to a GPS Location as well scan out both directions if required.

Thanks to you, our customer base who has kept us not just open but all kinds of busy we were able to donate the Labor on this project!

Some businesses will take your money and wish you the best on figuring it out, at Big Fish we have had one perk of getting your install done here from the beginning. If you buy your brushless trolling motor (Quest, Kraken or PowerPole) here and we install it, I will take you on the water for calibration and give you a lesson on the features firsthand!

Did you know we are also a Power Pole Dealer? The guys installed a pair of blades this week on Warrior 208 and a single Pro Series 2 on a Lund 219GL both with drift paddles added for better boat control! We used the Hydrilla Gear tilt brackets on the Warrior for garage door clearance and directly mounted the Lund to the transom as they have a tall garage door.

Both had custom machining done to make them not just fit but fit nicely. On the Warrior we actually removed the Mercury Pro Kicker and fabricated a plate to cover up the holes and mount additional items if needed.

We can install Micro Anchors or trolling motors as well just shoot us a message or call the shop!

I always say that electrical tape isnt used for waterproofing its used to cover or hide whats below. If your boat has items that dont work we can usuallly track it down to connections and then repair or replace those.

The amount of times we grab a battery or trolling motor motor lug and pull the wire out without any effort is surprisingly high, the quantity that are lacking a fuse or circuit breaker is even higher. Let us take a look and retrofit your boat to be a touch more reliable this season!

With the warm weather here to stay it is time to make sure that floating fun factory is ready to go! We can add a depthfinder with mapping to help you avoid sandbars, speakers, subwoofers and radio upgrade to JL or Fusion Marine to keep the party going.

If your pontoon doubles as a panfish slayer we can install a trolling motor and lithium batteries for the best boat control even in windy conditions!

Does your toon live on Lake Wissota or nearby? Thanks to Wissota Dock we can offer lift to lift service where it is picked up, brought to us for upgrades and then returned once complete.

Give us a call at (715) 492-1339 to inquire about the options!

Today we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave everything for our freedom. 🇺🇸

As we enjoy time on the water, with family, and in the outdoors this Memorial Day, we remember those who made those moments possible through their sacrifice.

From all of us at Big Fish Encounters — thank you to our fallen heroes and to the families who continue to carry their legacy.

Live Free. Fish Hard. Never Forget. 🇺🇸🎣
