How do you fish three tournaments in one morning? ?

I’m not sure what it was. If I remember correctly it was a night tournament and dark out. Personally I wouldn’t go over idle speed in darkness.

I didn’t know there was such a thing either until he made a Bloody Mary for my wife one time and put a shot of it in front of me. A little bit goes a long way. He and my stepmom are big wine people now and found it on one of their wine tours.

My dad makes a pretty good Bloody Mary. He gives it a kick by adding a jalapeño wine.

Great write up! Glad to see you’re adding to this great, very informative thread. Too much trolling for walleye as a kid makes me cringe every time I hear the word trolling. Let’s watch paint dry.

Suck it up buttercup, you’re losing your hair just cut it short. I’m not saying that because you’re 10 years older than me and I’m bald up top. Life is actually easier with a shaved head. I’m not to the point of a razor shave but I’m getting there.

The GT-56 can see deeper and I believe a little further to the side, and I believe the imaging is a tad better. I have the GT-54, I’ve only had it out a couple times but I’ve been happy so far.

Congrats on the award!

Garmin Echomap hands down.

Nice work Brad!

What a wild ride! It sure has been windy lately, that’s for sure.

Same thing happened a couple years ago. The mods will fix it.

I saw this a little while ago and thought it was hilarious!

We all do. There are several of us on here with new Garmins this year, so maybe we can all learn together.

I was always meticulous about my hair from about age 10. Now at 37 I barely have any, so you’re right! ?

Yup, cough up the $9 and get an SD card and call it good.

A couple that my wife dog sits and grooms their dog for both got it. He was in the icu for five days and was give a cocktail of drugs to knock it out of him and he was better after a week or so. His wife didn’t qualify for this cocktail and she’s now on week five of flu like symptoms! She’s doing better but holy cow what a nightmare! My boss has it and has for about a week, but is almost back to 100%. Strange how differently it affects people.

My last two orders were pretty quick compared to past orders. I don’t remember where the first came from, but my recent order came from Georgia and I ordered on a Saturday and was here on Wednesday. Just to give you and idea how shipping has been, I placed two separate orders for boat seats that came from Connecticut to me in Michigan and they took 25-27 hours to get here and it was the standard shipping. I ordered my Dobyns rod from TW and it was to me from Georgia in 4 days (standard shipping) I ordered a milk crate from Flint, Michigan (2.5 hour drive from me) and it took almost 2 weeks to get here. There’s no rhyme or reason for how long things take. I’m sure Covid restrictions do play a role somewhat.

Your dogs sure are neglected!

Glad to hear your dad got out and that he’s still healthy enough to fish. I don’t know enough about the Force TM but I imagine it’s links to Garmin units.

With Garmin graphs and TM right? ?

My lake is loaded with warmouth. My son was catching them left and right the first spring we were here and I thought they were bluegill, it wasn’t until he caught and big one and brought it close to me I noticed the mouth and I knew it wasn’t a bluegill. I then researched and realized it was a warmouth! Those little guys are crazy aggressive! There’s one spot we always go to that has a bunch of wood and we pitch to it and almost always got decent bass. The last year it was almost all warmouth hitting our 3/0 EWG T-rigged rage lures.

Now that this boat is pretty much complete, have you decided on what your new boat purchase will be?

My lakes are the same deal here. I’m hoping after burning up some gas idling around I can find a few offshore gems whether it be wood, rocks, composition change or something like that. We shall see.
