Ah, you know you love it! That’s a beast

They quit discharging hot water at our steam plants after the Kingston disaster

Well florida and south Alabama and eastern South Carolina are weedy. Georgia, TN, eastern SC, and N Alabama lakes are mostly deep and clear without weeds. everything I’ve ever laid eyes on up north is weedy except the middle of the Great Lakes. The marshes flowing into Erie look like bass heaven, pads and weeds galore. Michigan is weeds on top of weeds and I would assume Wisconsin is similar. Pennsylvania has a whole lot of choked out ponds. I haven’t been much of anywhere else as a kid, I always wanted to go north to fish weeds like I saw on TV that we don’t have

Yeah we’ve seen your beaver pond bass, I’d never fish a reservoir

Yep. Almost all vegetation is killed for hire around here. I don’t even have pads anywhere around

I never go on any assumption

Yes sir!

I’ll never have either, I just know it’s easier to use a trolling motor than fish radar hahah

My buddy that fishes Great Lakes and Canada says he catches way more fish with anchor and rope than when he uses spot lock . Fish can hear and feel R2D2 on the front of your boat also, an anchor on a rope won’t kill your batteries granted, you ain’t pushing expensive product when you use an actual anchor

I vote for trolling motor

There’s way more weeds up north than where I live.

Tennessee wildlife resource agency has declared war on Alabama bass, they think they will ruin fishing as we know it. They also thought that about Asian carp. I think they just need a threat so the grant money keeps piling in by the millions

Maybe that’s the David I was thinking of

Nah just kind of forget about it sometimes, caught a lot of groundhogs and skunks lately. still doing 40 hours a week with the varmints, the rest has been mostly cutting grass

I agree! I’ve only had a big bait for about a month but if there’s a big fish in the area, they will come after it quite often

I haven’t adjusted mine in a couple years that I can recall, been lucky I guess. I have folded them in with a mailbox before, that was a little shocking. I’ve also got a single cab, you rarely see those anymore. A back seat would just be full of junk for me, I don’t have kids The one thing I do like about power windows (on my work truck) is being able to roll the passenger side window down without having to lay across the cab. People always come up to my passenger window wanting to chat and it throws them off when I lay down to reach the crank handle in my personal truck haha

I had a customer today ask me if I could check a glue trap someone had set in her crawl space. She said they had put it down there over a year ago. I saw a snake on it and just assumed it was dead. Put it into my truck and it started wiggling around! I didn’t have veggie oil on me to free it, so i radioed to my coworker and he said he had some, bring it to the shop. Here’s a video of what happened after he doused it with oil. At the end he says “now we can roll it in flour and deep fry it!” Hahahaha

Ok got it now! I somehow read “right trac” hahahahaha they say vision goes at age 40, I’m getting there fast

I think this happens after the senko falls off the hook when the fish jumps and sinks down to the bottom. A ned being like a tiny senko, they are prone to swallow it. At least the ned doesn’t fly off the hook nearly as often, but they snag and get left on the bottom with the hook in them more than anything

Congrats!

I’ve been sea sick a time or two but never to the point of puking. Cruise ship and a glass bottom boat in shallow water off the keys were the worst. I was feeling rough on the glass bottom boat, looked over at my mom and she was green. She said “move!!!” and I followed her to the top deck. We both felt better once we got up there I got to feeling sick on a party boat where everyone drops their lines straight down but I was able to drink that away with cold beers

I was in NYC at Christmas once. Christmas Eve 72 degrees and raining, sweated up a storm walking thru town. Christmas Day, 24 degrees, sunny, and windy. It cut right thru me

Yes sir, same here most years. That nastiest weather is when I love fishing the most

Thanks for the real info. I like that much better than “never had an issue” forum talk
