The things people will do, just to get the "Employee of the Month" parking spot...Boy!!!...For the love of Pete, that grinds my gears!

The last 3 times I went to Disney, I did a guided trip on Disney water. Each time I caught at least 10 bass. Well worth it. You get off the boat and Magic Kingdom is quick walk down the path. It'll be perfect for the boys.

Strikebacks are well made and the tandem I post has a real nice subtle vibration to it. Wire size is about middle of the road where you can feel the rotating blades feeding back up your line.

Megastrike Strikeback Spinnerbait The best spinnerbait I've ever fished.

Hey @DogBone_384 and @Mr. Aquarium I just got the rest of the materials in. Gonna shoot for Saturday to put together. I’ll PM you guys later that day.

You can use a long flexible hose and put over you tail pipe and melt the ice that way? Just don't get drunk like some of our higher IQ'd people up here do and put the hose inside the car to warm up. They can't understand why they wind up in a different home...like a funereal home. ? All jokes aside, I hope you get your boat out safely.

I forgot about the orange craw like color. That really works well when that hard stuff on top the water goes away. Wait a minute, why is your lipless crank collection bigger than mine? Nice man. ?

Getting down would be alright, I'd be leery of trying to get back up with the added weight? And I doubt you have rock salt down there?

I'm wondering if you're not detecting the strike on your worm. I've always had luck with spinnerbait in FLA. Or maybe you should go to a different body of water like RW suggests? Good luck. I'm sure you'll get some good advice here. ?

Yep, fairly certain that won't make it on my rig either. ? A beauty for sure tho!

By far, my biggest producer. Chrome/Blue would be next followed by chrome/black Never had luck on Fire Tiger or any chartreuse colored lipless crank.

Hey, @J Francho, if you want to get all gangster with the donuts, have at, man! I won't lose sleep over it....?

Yep, 100%...Any protein really. It better than what most people equate for breakfast... donuts and pastry items and some type of a specialty coffee that has whipped cream on top. But for lunch they get a garden salad, fat free dressing and a diet soda cuz they're watching their calories...?

Lately, same here.

My PCP would list me as an Ex-PCP. ?

Seems like back in the day all you really needed to know was power and action and you tied on a lure and presented accordingly. IDK maybe it got dumbed down for a reason?

OMG!! DeakNH and I still talk about that! ? Too funny JF!

@Daniel, @detroit1 said it better than I could have! Thanks again for posting the video.

I drink it but I'm not a connoisseur of Scotch and really only drink it when my father asks me to sit down for a drink with him...how to say no? Anyway, I do prefer a blended Scotch over a single malt. Never had any like the one's @TnRiver46 posted about. I'll see if our store's have any and will give it a try.

I’m guessing having kids are out of the question for you and your future bride. ?

Seems like the Kalins grub has stood the test of time.

So everything I have on moorings is for saltwater. Harbors and bays up here for me are 15-20’ is 150 lbs but again that’s ocean. The best advice I saw as a rule of thumb, and you can use your best judgement, is 5-10 lbs times the length of your boat. So 20 ft x 5 lbs = 100 lb mooring. Chain length of 1.5 time the water depth was correct. Hope this helps.

Give me a bit and I'll look up the mooring weight...for a lake it should be fine. If you want to moor your boat in 10' of water you'd want a 15' chain...rule of thumb. I'll look that up as well. Then you can use like a 10' rope to tie to the chain. The rope protects your boat, the chain has heft to it and adds to the weight of the mooring. It also buries itself when the bottom get churned up, also helping with anchoring the boat. The added 5' of chain is so when you get waves, the boat will be free to bounce up and down and not nose dive in the water. I'll PM my findings tomorrow morning

Look into a mushroom anchor if it's only a week. How big is your boat? A mushroom mooring would be a better, more permanent solution, but back in 2010 I spent over $600 for my mooring system. You'd want a galv steel chain tied to the anchor. That needs to be about 1.5 times the depth of the water you'll be in. From the chain you can transition to a sinkable rope. 3/8" Steel Galv chain at minimum with same size sinking rope. I would think a 75 lb mushroom anchor would work, but again, I don't know the size of your boat. Hope that helps
