I’d bet somebody fell thru, but their death certificate was lost a few thousand yrs ago. And their first responder was late to scene

There was a tribe of native Americans that had a name that translated to something like “people that walk on the water” because they were known for traveling across frozen lakes. I wonder if their terrestrial buddies called them marching morons 😂

Art there’s zero actual since to capturing fish with a rod and reel

I made great grades in school all the way thru college but I went fishing and forgot my boat once

Gotcha! I was thinking we were on the same latitude or close to it 😂

Really ? I’ve seen people drive 4 wheelers on the surface of Douglas lake

Youve got way more experience warm water fly fishing than the author of the article so I would ask you for fly recommendations before him haha

No rod lockers, 2 Jon boats, one canoe, 5 kayaks. If I took my time babying the rods and being careful not to break them, I wouldn’t have any time to fish. I broke one the other day putting my daily driver car into gear I would say I’ve broken well over 100 rods, it happens to every single one given enough time. I use them for fishing, not display I would have to say kids stepping on them is the most common breakage I do use mostly rods under $50 but that’s because every time I get a nice expensive one, I break them just like the cheap ones so I cut my losses 😂

On dale hollow and similar highland reservoirs, open water fish chasing shad miles and miles is the pattern and it’s all year long

Ive swam in 65 degree water and it felt chilly. I’ve fallen into 47 degree water and it felt even more chilly. Cold is up to the eye of the beholder , seals probably think any liquid is warm

The same way we ran boats wide open throttle beofre GPS and electronic maps

I tie my spot locker to the end of a rope

@Further North Eastern time zone for the win conversely, when we camped on an island in Lake superior this summer, we went to watch the sunset every night and it took till like 10:45 PM to see it. Granted, I don’t think we ever figured out which time zone we were on, I think it was Eastern, but the ferry operated on central time

3?

Nice!!!

Went out this morning and got two crappie, came home for breakfast mid morning and my wife made a French ham and cheese croissant. Went back out fishing around 2 and fished offshore, only one nibble. Then I Hit the banks with a green pumpkin finesse worm and got 7 smb and 1 lmb from 4-5:30. Largest was around 17”, one was super skinny and another fought way harder than it should have for its size. Fun day

After waiting all day on my wife to get home, we went and got a Christmas tree. I had from 5-6 pm to fish after we set it up. I drove directly to my offshore SMb grounds and started fishing. Not much luck so I sat down at the console just letting the boat drift along the edge of a drop off and watched the graph to see if I was close enough. A crappie must have gotten lost and ended up out there, I got a funny picture of the screen after I caught it . You can see where I pulled it straight up off the bottom. No skunk and a pretty evening
