I forgot to mention that a lot of guys fishing damiki get them 70-80 feet deep in winter. The water temp is the same top to bottom in the highland reservoirs that time of year.

A lot of old timers swear wd40 is a great fish attractant and it is petroleum

Never caught anything with any of them

Purty!! I have paddled 15+ miles in a day many times but never terribly far from dry land. There's an island 200 yards from my dock and swimming out there and back is exhausting so I use that as somewhat of a rule of thumb, I don't venture out further than I can swim back

I saw it live and in color two weeks ago on Erie, not just a picture. I'm sure people do it, just not me. We had huge waves blasting over the front of a two story ferry full of cars and people. Seems like the storms are pretty bad up that way too, I imagine that it goes from slick to scary pretty quick on some days. I don't even paddle far from shore on my never windy reservoirs at home, I just don't like the idea of capsizing way out in the middle. I also don't sky dive or ride roller coasters so these opinions are coming from a bit of a chicken..... unfortunately people around here drown while kayaking quite often and our waters are tiny by comparison

Sunscreen my friend! Glad you had fun out there 2 miles into lake Michigan in a kayak??? That takes some brass ones! I don't even want to take my 18 ft center console boat onto great lakes after seeing Michigan and Erie in person

I have the ones in the screen shot, good shoes for the price. I've had them 3-4 years and keep them outside and they are still ok

I like 12 but I have used 20 a few times and it's nice to know Mr smallmouth won't steal my spook

It all depends on where and what type of fishing you are doing. I keep braid on one baitcaster and one spinning reel and mono on everything else. When it gets really cold I put flourocarbon on a baitcaster for suspending jerkbaits. Braid is thinner and slicker and casts better but it floats like a cork and is visible and noisy underwater. Mono seems to be good for everything except fishing slop

Pork doesn’t smell good when you clean it either hahaha. You should try the pastrami! Then again I am a fan of “gamey “ flavor but my buddies aren’t so much, and that’s why there prepared it differently this time. I usually just grill it very rare, although I had a buddy slice it really thin and cook it in a skillet on the boat once. Then he put it on a sandwich with greens and eggs, that was also very good. The key seems to be don’t ever cook it long no matter what you do

@Bluebasser86, we have an early goose season from sept 1 to sept 22. My buddies shot two of them while we were fishing and made pastrami out of them. Mmmmm. And nice green fish ya got there!

Sound like you know way more about the situation than I ever will! So I can't help much other than adding that HOAs are beyond silly

We are good at raising champion..... Hounds!!

Gonna need a big shovel! Cool drawing

Whoopdie Doo!! That means more losses for me and I believe Mizzou has to play at least 2 of them ..... Would you root for the raiders and chargers since they are in the broncos division?

We should be a staple in the bottom 25 the rest of the season

I bet it fought like crazy!

When you see a moderate amount of smoke coming out, you've got her running just right.......

My buddy claims he saw one go across the river and pelt a fellow boater with debris. He went and talked to them after it passed and they said "yeah, that was a little crazy"

There's an early season in TN from Sept 1- Sept 22. My buddies got two while we were fishing, destined for smoked goose pastrami per "meat eater" recipe . We had some that he made earlier in the week while out on the water, quite delicious

Awesome catch! Can’t help with species, That thing ain’t from ‘round here.......

Go titans! So much for all the Browns hype? Too soon?

Fun weekend on the holston river

I was on a ferry in lake Erie two weeks ago and I wasn't sure if we would sink or not

Don't you have someone your own size to pick on?
