  1. Went to silver Wednesday, tried the "Chatterbait", nothing. Tried everything but c4. Looked like I was stirring chocolate milk when on the Trolling Motor. Went to coffeen Friday, nothing until after lunch, then 5. One was a keeper. On Carolina rig, 4 came off of one point. Temp at ramp was 75°. Clarity 3'.
  2. WOW, lots of info to digest, so little time! Gonna throw it more, and vary the retrieve. The lake I mainly fish has zero clarity right now. Sounds like this should Excel.
  3. Looks like a decent mess! Why is their a no wake restriction for part of thee year?
  4. I'm curious also. Mainly fish muddy water. Clear water throws me for a loop.
  5. Went to coffeen Tuesday and Wednesday. Couple of little ones. Tried to teach myself skipping. Lots of backlash! Getting their. Kind off glad I'm working this weekend, gonna be crazy out their. Be safe!
  6. Once you learn flipping and pitching, you'll love it. Supposed to be a nice weekend, be a good one to get out, teach yourself and check the boat out. I need to teach myself how to skip with a baitcaster.
  7. Can you put bigger engines on the pyramid lakes? Just use Trolling Motor?
  8. Made it out for a couple of hours after work this morning. Fish - 0. Broken foot pedal - 1.
  9. My wife is a state employee, 27 years. Hasn't had a raise in 3 years. We are scared, to say the least.
  10. Went to coffeen Wednesday, couple of dinks. Stretched my string
  11. Nice fish. How I miss those smallies! Are their any in "southern" Illinois? By southern, I'm talking south of I-72. Kincaid, Shelbyville? Both lakes are the same drive for me.
  12. What power binoculars do you keep in your desk drawer? You are allowed to plead the fifth!!
  13. Do you have that little boat ready for the power plant lakes?
  14. You are my hero! Went Sunday for a couple hours, missed one. Going tomorrow and Wednesday. Hopefully my luck changes. Water temp was 47-48
  15. You'll be able to kill em on the smaller lakes now! Gonna get spare transducers to mount the 1198/1199 on it?
  16. Went for a couple of hours this morning. The good news is I tried a couple of spinnerbait s that I made. They ran true. Didn't have any Ned rigs. So I improvised, ¼oz crappie jig head, cut down used worm. something to be jealous of, and strive for!
  17. Welcome from Highland!
  18. Good Information! Now well see if i can remember it!! The clarity of those pics is amazing.
  19. Thank you for the information. I will keep some the next time.
  20. Are those yellow bass mixed in? If so, are they tasty? Have caught some here, they fight for all their worth!
  21. That sucks! I recently put some allure vinyl, I think they where 12*24 sections. In one of our bathrooms. Supposed to be water resistant. They snapped together, used the score and snap method to cut them. Was pretty easy once I got going. They don't look to bad either.
  22. Beardown34, you could also use this time to teach yourself a different tactic. IE pitch or flip with opposite hand, skip a jig (I really need to force myself to learn this one), etc.
  23. Went to a farm pond, all I can say is wow! That shoe measured 12", for a reference. I was told that was a small and skinny one!!
