12poundbass

My wife came up with this one about 15 years ago..... Egofishticle

Buy a boat already

Here’s your punch rig. You gotta think outside the box. ?

Weren’t you an English professor? You could probably say what you want to say using words most of us have never heard of so you’d be all set saying what you want to say. ?

Haha he found them on his own. He’s learned a lot from the fishing videos. He’s phasing out of the Googan videos and watching Jacob Wheeler, Dustin Connell, and Mark Daniels videos more so I’m encouraging that move. ?

The fact that he’s had two incidents and he posted both of them gives me the impression that he doesn’t take these seriously and I think he’s looking to just cash in off my his stupidity. He first disabled the comment section and now took the video does has me thinking he wasn’t getting the attention he was seeking. I’m glad it’s blowing up in his face but I doubt it’ll really change his thinking on the whole situation. That’s twice now he’s put other people lives at risk especially his coangler in the first video. If he wants to play Evil Knievel and launch himself into trees that’s fine with me, but risking other peoples lives is no joke. The guy needs to be banned from tournament fishing at the very least.

I see he shut his comment section off. Gee I wonder why? So you’re saying this is the same guy in both videos?

One more thing I’ve had bass ackwards, thanks. ?

That’s exactly why I wasn’t waiting around. I knew I’d be SOL.

The main part of the lake is OPEN! Our part and the route to the main part is blocked. We’re making progress. I saw another lake that was completely open and others over 50% open.

The bait monkey got my 10 year old! He’s been selling off his toys (the wife has been emotional about that one) and been buying football cards and now fishing lures. Here’s his haul he received yesterday.

I’m going there next Friday so I’m planning on picking a few of them up then. I wasn’t going to wait on the Echomap though.

Now that I’ve placed my order ? I figured I’d mention Bass Pro has their spring sale and they have the Garmin Echomap 93SV UHD on sale for $599. This is the GT-54 transducer, nevertheless it’s a smoking deal. I’m glad I waited to get my second one. Oh, express shipping was free so it says it’ll be here Monday.

67 here in the middle of the mitten, with a nice warm breeze from the SW. That big heat lamp in the sky isn’t out as much as I’d like, but I’ll take it. The channel that feeds my lake is open now and creeping in to the main part of the lake. I have high expectations for the melting today. I’ve seen a few golf course ponds fully open today in my travels. I need to get my ? in a group and order my other Garmin, get reels cleaned and lubed, organize more tackle I’ve acquired since the last time I organized tackle that I acquired, spool up a reel I recently bought. The list goes on.

As payment do they give you a 5-gallon bucket of hand sanitizer to disinfect it after all those people are done touching it?

They blame Lake Michigan here.

Exactly. That’s why I’ve waited and waited and saved waiting for the Echomaps to go on sale. I wasn’t going to settle. These new 93SV units will be with me for quite a while.

We’re making progress. Friday 6poundbass and our nephew threw some of our decent sized rocks out on the ice. ? I’ll let it slide I suppose. The one he and our nephew threw out there Friday warmed enough today to fall through today. So it took about 72 hours for that one to go through. We’ll see how long today’s rock takes to melt through. Goes to show you though, that rocks do warm and hold heat. It was kind of interesting to see Friday’s rock slowly sink in the ice Saturday and Sunday.

Did you ever sell your ocean front property in Arizona? The market is pretty hot right now if you haven’t.

If you’re going to spend that much I’d go with a MEGA from Humminbird or a Garmin Echomap with the GT-56 transducer. I’ve read even the Lowrance faithful say both are better than Lowrance.

You really can’t go wrong with any brand. Humminbird MEGA imaging is the best but I’m hearing the new GT-56 transducer Garmin has is closing that gap. I’m a Garmin guy and have the GT-54 transducer, I’ve yet to use it due to frozen lakes. The reason I’m a Garmin guy is you get more bang for your buck. You get 2d, Downvu, Sidevu, mapping, and the ability to create your own map with QuickDraw (up to 1 million acres I believe) all in one unit. Humminbird requires a zero line card at an added price to create more than 8 hours of your own mapping. I like the user interface on Garmin as well, pretty simple to use. The more you dig into learning about these units, you’ll probably read Garmin’s 2d is better than the other two brands, down seeing and side seeing sonar, has been said Humminbird gets the nod. Mapping some say goes to Lowrance, but Garmin uses Navionics now so I think that’s a wash. So you see, it can get complicated and a bit confusing. I got everything I wanted from Garmin at a good price and I’ve been happy so far, and after playing with my new Garmin from my living room I think I’ll be happier with my upgraded Garmin. Good luck with your search.

Apparently we’re adding days here in Michigan.

Mud season and with all the snow you have I’d guess flooding as well. The majority of our snow is gone so flooding shouldn’t be an issue here. I’m hoping this rain will put a big dent in the frozen lake situation.

We use a double coat brush on Hank. It looks like a mini garden rake, and that’s what I use to put the hair into one big pile to pick up, so you’re not too far off!
