A few years back they were having a winter festival on Lake Geneva which is about an hour and 45 minutes north of me. Someone had a brilliant idea of using the ice as a parking lot. https://fox6now.com/2016/02/06/breaking-several-cars-fall-through-ice-at-lake-genevas-winterfest/

Boat insurance is not very expensive

Ice storm due in at 6pm. Should be on the other side of the pond before midnight.

A performance motor shop can flash the computer on the larger outboards to squeeze more hp from them. Not sure if they can do the smaller ones.

Since you went to the expense of purchasing the batteries, why are you hesitant to get all you can out of them? Seems a bit counterproductive. I would want the correct tool for the job.

It's unsportsman like. If there is an unsportsman like clause in the rules, then yes, you can be DQ'd if it can be proven.

Ribs ready for the smoker and shrimp soaking in Mojo Criollo. Having hot wings as well

He has done nothing more than create a controlled environment. No different than a fish tank. The bait shops on the waters I fish will do the same with the dead minnows in the tank every morning. The fish are not sitting there all day waiting for a meal. It is no secret that fish follow their foodsource. Animals are creatures of habit. If they are used to a feeding stimuli at the same point every day, they will respond.

Beautiful

That's a question for Miss Cleo

I'm surprised the Force even started, pull or no pull. ?

Next week is going to be a $#itstorm. Supposed to be in the 40s by Sunday. Every pipe that has frozen will thaw and burst over the weekend.

Going to be a long day. Internet is down at work. Our phones are connected to the internet so no phones. Ive had 3 techs come in this morning. I did stop and buy donuts to go with the coffee, for the hvac techs that come in today. I cant help but feel bad for them in this weather.

I saw on the news you guys are gonna get dumped on with lake effect snow

Wind chill -50

My heart bleeds for you as I head to work this morning

Guess I forgot to close the flue on the fireplace

Please explain. Yes, bass don't have feelings. They can sense a threat. Is that not fear?

Thanks for posting

There are less big bass than small bass because of a poor healthcare system. Even though they have spent their entire lives in school, not one of them has become a doctor..... So lets expound on what some of you touched upon. The way a fish responds to its environment. Aside from seasonal migrations, which I believe causes fish to "drop their guard", and aside from "angler relocation", I believe most fish are resident fish. Meaning, they will spend their time in a certain area, as long as the proper conditions exist, be it a few days, a few weeks, or a few months. Let's say proper conditions are food, shelter, and oxygen. Fish become familiar with their surroundings. They know where the deep water is. They know where the structure is. They become familiar with cover as it is ever changing. Now, add external stimuli to the residence. One of a few things will happen. 1. The fish will become curious. It will investigate and determine if the stimuli is good or bad. It's my belief that this is more prevalent with juvenile fish, as it is with any animal, as part of the learning process. 2. The fish will become weary. Or, curious with a negative connotation. 3. The fish will become scared or "spooked" 4. The fish will become aggressive. It will attack out of fear, aggression, hunger. 5. The fish will ignore the stimuli because they just don't give a crap. It is my belief that this is more prevalent with mature (big) fish. They've seen it all. They've done it all. There's no more proving themselves. They eat when they want to eat. They fight when they want to fight. They screw when they want to screw. They are no different than any other animal when it comes to their environment. It's all about being at the right place at the right time.
