For all those that believe mothballs scare skunks away, I got you a photo. just caught a skunk at a pile of mothballs

Remember when one of our members constantly lamented the downturn of this fishery??? Hehe

Spinnerbaits skunk out equally for LM and SM

I’ve got the audio on my Bluetooth. I just drove from one job to another and taku fought the same 3 lb smallie the whole drive hahahah. I don’t know why they reel them in so slow

Loving watching this today, those huge smallies ?

That’s not like an engineer……. ?

I know where you can get them in the TN river right now, come on

Haha! Follow your nose………. I’ve been to a few jobs where someone said their house was stinking and I found rabbits or rats dogs had dragged in and hidden under things

I agree. My wife gets so excited reading a menu that lists fresh ingredients. I’m like “honey they’re not going to say they used old soured and expired ingredients”

I can fit 7 foot rod in a 2 door truck if I need to go in a store or something. If not just lay it in the bed

Haha! Kansas is a far piece…….. theres a local restaurant/seafood supplier here where the owner drives to the gulf twice a week. He may have even bought a plane when business took off In Frankfort michigan they sold fillets on ice for about $17/lb (walleye and perch, maybe even whitefish). The walleye frozen in the grocery store said product of Canada and they were massive, tasted pretty great but nothing beats caught then cooked. There’s a restaurant on the Sandusky river in Fremont, OH that sells perch and walleye that are fantastic

Well who would say they only eat rotten oysters?

I just saw something at a customers house that reminded me of this thread I guess they gave up on the plastic owl

Nice fish!!!

I won’t even go across an ocean

Tried them once, puked for several days straight

?

Fishlab BBZ bio shad gizzard and fishlab BBZ bio Shad crankbait

Easy to remember also

I’ve eaten a lot of them in summer, they jump all over the lower end of the lake where the water is warmer, it can be wild. They taste just like they do in winter to me, I throw them on ice as soon as I catch them

Fluoro still stretches a bit but it sinks, that’s the major difference to me. For bottom baits you get a more direct connection. It’s also stiffer so when you get a bite it jumps pretty noticeably. Seaguar invisix and basix are both good stuff, I would go with basix for the initial experiment just because I had a bit of a learning curve and when switching a couple reels from mono to fluoro. are you running the 12 lb YZH on a baitcaster ?

Got new fishlab goodies!!! I can’t wait to try them, Now if only I didn’t have to work……… That rat is going to get me a big largemouth when I go fishing downtown
