This is an interesting and entertaining topic to read through on this cold and very snowy day in the north woods. I'd like to leave this one right here . . . How could you not root for this guy ? A-Jay

According to the local NWS, it has snowed at least a trace every single day this January here, and going back to 2024, 63 out of the last 69 days. Meaning I'm on the clean the snow one day, get more snow later that same day and overnight, clean the snow one day, get more snow later that same day and over night, clean the snow one day, get more snow later that same day and over night, clean the snow one day, get more snow later that same day and over night, Program. Move to the snow belt they said. It will be fun they said . . . . There had better be several giant smallies in my future. And I do mean several ! A-Jay

If there was a Member Status section, that's where I'd have put this one. . . . . . Road Conditions here have been nothing short of treacherous today. Started with high winds and ice on the highway blowing trucks & trailers off the road, on their sides and into the median / ditch. Local, county & state police have been at it ALL DAY. Haven't heard anyone request EMS Yet so that's good. And about 3 hours ago it's started snowing again - Hard. We listen to the radio chatter on a scanner app and it's almost comical just how many vehicles are off the road. The community ran out of wreckers hours ago. Folks are just stranded and awaiting for emergency crews to get to them. At this point it's "Take a Number". The dispatch chatter is classic. Going to be a cold, snowy & busy night for first responders. 🥶 A-Jay

You have no idea ! A-Jay

Hope I get to find out. I was there when Mike made his first trip there - He was Big Eyed the Whole time. As I remember the lake was on fire that week and we all had a time. Jurassic park meets Disneyland. A-Jay

We all need goals. Good Luck with that one. #icebreaker 🥶 A-Jay

Just spent the better part of the late morning and early afternoon performing some much needed snow removal operations. Super windy but air temps were almost 30 which was nice. All & all, it went well. Renewed my state watercraft registration on line today. Now all set thru March 2028. That felt pretty good knowing the Pro-V Bass will be remain legal in the eyes of the those folks who care about such things. Meanwhile it's down to 74 Days and a wake up ~ A-Jay

281 Days and a Wake up ~ A-Jay

Completed Workout Day 2 on this one. 3 working sets of the 4 scheduled movements. Training on Sunday just seems better for me. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

We are each different in what we feel good about when it come to 'insurance. I'm a fan of and am willing to pay for Total loss replacement Usually available for purchase if you’re the original owner of your boat and it’s no more than one model year old. Mine was new. If your boat is totaled within 5 model years, I get a new one or I'm reimbursed the amount that I originally paid for a totaled boat—my choice. If the rig is outside the 5 model-year window, I still get the original purchase price of the boat. Depreciation is also taken into account and covered. Bottom line is if in the unlikely event my rig is a total loss, I'm paying to recover the most I can get given the circumstances. Paying good money for less coverage does sit well with me. YMMV A-Jay

Nice ~ IMO, it's ALL 100 % Bassless. Until I am able prove otherwise. A-Jay

The favorite hard water past time of digging up older threads. Totally guilty of it myself. I like it too. As for this one, besides the obvious challenge of having so much more water to cover & eventually eliminate, there's the the matter of 'timing'. Smaller water will often allow a basshead to sort of bump into the fish when they are feeding. Since it take less time to cover the less acreage, the chances improve a bit in that regard. This seem less of a thing when there's some vast-ness to a body of water. Being on the right spot, at the right time and doing the right thing rarely happens by chance. Usually requires at least some map study and then . . . . . whole lot of fishing time. And the fishing time needs to happen during different times of the day, different days of the week (depending on boating traffic) and even during different seasons: at each potential spot. I have great spots that I only visit and find find fish at very specific times, and even during specific times of the year. Could be a bust in the spring and Boom in the Fall. Even vice versa too. So Timing can be serious swing & miss deal anywhere but big water in particular. But when we connect, it's usually pretty good. A-Jay

Often times there's more to it than just catching bass . . . A-Jay

Old thread alert ! Back in May 2018, I managed a 29-7 lb bag. It was a calm and quiet morning that began with a bang. My first brown bass of the day was a tank ! On the scale she was half a goby shy of 7 lbs. Just a gorgeous northern Michigan specimen. I was pumped. Only got 4 more fish on this trip, but they were all over 5 pounds. A jerkbait & a vibrating jig each accounted for a pair of fatties. With the wind coming on pretty good, I called it a day; but what a day. One I will definitely remember for a long time. My largest to date, still targeting the very elusive but most magic 30 lb bag. A-Jay

That's not my problem. A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

My world is very Frozen & very White. Has been for a few months and will be for a few more. There's plenty here to keep me busy. Sometimes I have to look a little bit to find it, other times I do not. Either way, I do miss being on the water. Looking back at pictures, reports & videos from past Lake Menderchuck trips helps a bit. And while I do dream about my fishing, at this point and especially later in the winter, much of what I do reminisce about sure feels like it was a dream. https://youtu.be/TmYCAOq40xU?feature=shared&t=67 https://youtu.be/V3OYj82bUXQ?feature=shared A-Jay

It's alI I had handy. A-Jay

Tackled Workout Day 1 in this one. Felt a little drained going into it as yesterday was pretty stressful. Either way, I put my nose to the grindstone and got it done. These are the ones I'm most proud of. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

I go North and West with a little Southerly sprinkled in there as well. I will also say the southerly adventures while being considerably further than both the north or the west, are ridiculously more productive. A-Jay

Will do Sir. Thank you. A-Jay

I'm Old. I go to bed at like . . . . Now . . . . A-Jay

We're just minutes away from The Bass Resource Black Out of 2025. I'm already starting to get the shakes and my left eye is twitching. I think I feel a bender coming on too. No not that kind . . . . 🥴 A-Jay
