It brings them back up to 12.7 or 12.8 volts overnight from almost any condition. I have a big charger on wheels if I need it but the 3 amp maintainer has kept me fishing several times a week for years on the same batteries

Old town canoes are probably the best boats on the planet. I don’t own one but I’ve paddled many, they are awesome in every way. There’s a fella up in the north woods, @A-Jay, that catches a fish or two out of a square back old town canoe........

I fish waaaaaayyy too slow . But I can’t help it

A 15-20 lb striper on 4 lb mono and 5 ft ugly stick. My fiancé also caught this 22.5 inch smallmouth on the same combo that might have been pushing 6lbs

Awesome fish! The dog is a nice addition to the pic haha

Lucky for me, spending the entire day on the water is my favorite thing in the world

Nice fish @Team9nine! I, like you, only use braid for frogs and thick grass. The cover is mostly rocks and wood in my area

Looks like wheeler just ran away with the FLW on his home lake. He had a 9.9 lb yesterday and just got a 7.89 on a DT20. His unofficial 4 day weight is hovering around 94 lbs

We are having some folks over for a fish fry so me and my buddy went to set some limb lines up a small tributary river in kayaks. Most of them were plagued by wild acrobatic gar, and The gar also interfered with rod and reel fishing as evidenced in the video

Ever wondered what sound a skunk makes?

Those tv shows about man eating fish are completely silly and fabricated in my opinion

Yes because that’s a giant PITA nowadays

^like he said, Luckily they haven’t breached the Cumberland plateau and smoky mountains, we are cottonmouth free in East Tennessee!

Redbreast sunfish I had to consult the authority to figure it out myself, I knew it was either red breast or long ear. Apparently redbreast can have red fin tips and longear does not

When you say blade baits, do you mean like a silver buddy or an under spin? 3/8 oz is on the light end for a silver buddy type blade bait

Shake the heck out of the rod tip while you reel it back

Hahah! Ticks an leeches are just part of the fun...... mosquitos are always the worst, at least in the moment. And then there’s chiggers........

You would need to drive a semi truck to the pond.....

What bothers me the most when bank fishing is not having my boat

The best part about summer wading? Wearing shorts and tennis shoes royally angers all the trout guys. I love watching smoke come out of their ears when I wade. I can just hear them sitting by their $10,000 outdoor fireplace sipping Johnny Walker blue and saying “some %€<*+ waded through the river in tennis shoes and shorts! The nerve!!!”

I use a 3 amp maintainer for the 3 batteries in my boat. It only cost $20 and it works

I’ve always said that! Bearings are a pain, hubs are easy and barely cost more. your camping trio sounds like all of mine, cheap! You will use a ton more gas than you think pulling a boat, it’s crazy. When I go to the ocean, we just put canoes and kayaks on top of my fiancé’s tiny car and take it for that reason. Make up a tool kit with the basics to keep in the vehicle (jack, 4 way lug wrench (some trailer lugs are different size than the car), extra hub with bearings already in it, wrenches, screwdrivers, hammer, duck tape, etc). For the boat extra prop and extra trolling prop, lot of sunscreen and bug spray. For camp, extension cords, dry bags, and a pillow! Can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten a pillow. I’ve been staying at some primitive sites and utilizing solar power, pretty easy!

Fishing a double rig with grub/marabou for herring and caught all kinds of stuff. Maybe I should fish for bass and see if I get any herring !

They certainly do eat berries, they are the only fish I can think of that regularly eat carbs. Maybe that’s why they get so big, like cows but in the water haha. I know some skilled carp guys that use sugar berry type baits and well as oatmeal. Ironically I caught a carp today!
