Ok I’ll put it this way: there isn’t a boat telltale/pee hole on this planet than a mud/dirt dobber can’t fit in…….

This happens in like 75% of the US, dumbest thing ever. We do have a couple places with milfoil and everything seems quite healthy there but most gets killed

Glenn is the man! Any of y’all could probably find him roaming the aisles of the classic in Tulsa next year representing bass resource. Not sure if he will bring the bait monkey disguise with him or not @Big Hands

I drink well over a gallon per day, maybe 2 this time of year. I sweat a whole lot at work . I fill this thing, I believe 40 oz with ice and water. Usually I refill it 3 times before the ice melts and then repeat the whole process after work. I always have a gallon jug or two for backup in the truck. Less plastic is more better, refill the jugs

Well it depends…. Wade/swimming in the mtns it’s nearly impossible to have more than one. Canoe kayak having 2-3 is nice. Usually 5-7 in the motor boat

Thanks! Yeah it was lousy fishing so I thought I’ll use this rusty jig and won’t mind breaking it off. After I released the big one I got stuck and brought in a tube with no hook

You found dirt yet claim in ain’t a dirt dauber…… dirt daubers are well know to clog the pee hole on boats across the US and your area is littered with them, they can get small in the end it doesn’t matter what did it just clean it out. I keep weedeater string in the boat

Audio doesn’t work on my end either

I find myself casting like this then before the bait lands I’ve switched to this grip to work the bait

Slow bite turned into a wonderful evening, I was trying out the new st croix mojo bass and caught a LM, then a 21” SM! I had just found an old rusty jig head and wire brushed it and stuffed it inside a tube. The SM bent the hook but didn’t come off! Water temp 69 degrees, that helped cool the 92 degree air

I think you got that joke from @roadwarrior ?

That definitely makes sense! We used to always go play putt putt with my mom on Father’s Day because that’s what we used to do with my dad before he passed. That was 30 years ago and like others said time does heal wounds. Maybe some kind of family tradition to honor your dad every so often could help?

This is going to sound wacky but best thing I’ve ever done (and I’ve done it twice now) is to go back to hand control TM. This time I even went 12v and I like it better, less money less charging plenty of power. I was going to replace my 24v maxxum but didn’t have $600

I’ll just have to take your word for it and use my 10 marabou jigs for $2.79
