A 23 year old went missing on Lake Michigan last week. They found the body 2 days ago. https://abc7chicago.com/body-of-missing-indiana-kayaker-found-along-lake-michigan/5321755/ He was in a "portable" kayak that folds up and can be stored in the trunk of a car. While I can empathize with the family for their loss, this kid had zero common sense. It's unfortunate. Reports said he was seen more than a mile off shore prior to the storm passing thru. I pick and choose my days on Lake Michigan and I'm in a 20ft Lund. I also know a number of kayak anglers who fish Lake Michigan for perch, salmon, and trout. All...or most... have common sense. I'm sorry, but a boat that folds up and stores in the trunk of a car, has no business out on the Great Lakes. The kid in your article, IMO had no common sense. No pfd, no lights, no flag. It was only a matter of time

Mushroom anchors are good for mud and muck, nothing else.

Anybody else get the letter rom the State of IL that they inadvertently uploaded all our watercraft registration information including full name, DOB, gender and SS# to a public portal for the whole world to see...on 2 different occasions? Gotta love this state we call home..... @Glaucus Fox river is closed to boating south of Algonquin dam.

My home water is the busiest freshwater waterway per acre in the U.S. There are multiple deaths every year as the result of people not paying attention and/or intoxication. I don't know what the circumstances in the above mentioned consisted of. I'm hardly a defensive driver in my car, possibly even offensive, but out on the lake we all need to be aware of our surroundings. We need extra common sense to make up for the lack of common sense from others. I don't kayak, but if I did, I'd want to make myself as visible as possible. I would also use a little common sense on when and where I'm paddling. I do that now in a 20ft boat. I fish early during the summer. I know the water I fish and I know what places to avoid.

Lakemaster display can be customized with Humminbird. You can shade and set offsets, and if you have a Minn Kota with Link, you can run contours and tracks. Can't do any of that with Navionics

Eric Haataja spend a lot more time fishing the southern end of Wisconsin. Pewaukee is his stomping grounds for smallies.

Windex MULTI SURFACE with vinegar. Not Windex with vinegar

The benefit of better gear is if you don't have a clue as to what you're doing, you'll at least look good doing it.

Try buying dad better gear and give it to him as birthday and Christmas gifts.

Have you tried Tracker customer service or Bass Pro Shops

I've known some people who get married and have a litter of kids and fishing takes a back seat to family.

You're aware they make boat coffins?

Headed north today and hit Delavan for a few hours. Water is 65*. Wind out of the north. Fishing was tough. Ended up with 5 LMB and a rock bass. Biggest was 3lbs

My favorite panfish lake didn't disappoint today

His eyes are bigger than his stomach. Caught him on all 3 hooks

Bite before the storm. 37 bass in 3 hours. Biggest 5 were roughly 14-15lb bag. 5 minutes after we go off the lake the skies opened up and it poured.

So what do we make the winning tickets out of?

I like their new stuff better than the old. 9

I was going to say a family of squirrels

I harvest big gills off the beds every spring on a 200 acre lake. Been doing it for 10 years. Every year i continue to catch 9-11" gills. I might keep 30 every weekend throughout the spawn. I throw back hundreds of <9" fish. The lake breeds big gills and is known for its panfish. I guarantee I'm not the only one doing it.

Is your charger any good. As far as trolling motor batteries, NAPA deep cycle made by Deka is my recommendation.
