12poundbass

We learn something new everyday.

The cradle is meant to stay on the boat and the power meant to stay hooked up so there’s no need for a cover for the port. The screen can be removed and rectangular cover goes over the connections on the front. That’s why it appears like square peg round hole.

Shaving cream. The foam kind, not the gel. Spray it on, scrub it in, let it sit 15-20 minutes, and rinse it off. Effective and cheap.

Years ago, I was talking about how I had never had any luck fishing a jig and had given up on it a long time ago. A member here sent me a bunch of jigs and said try this and try that. Thanks to his generosity, jigs are a staple in my arsenal these days.

I’ve seen smaller versions used for walleye fishing.

I posted this last year and the consensus was most likely a thermocline.

Nice one Ken! Nice hat too.

Smart man. I haven’t bought a bag of Senkos in a long while, but I’m pretty sure that’s way more than 15% off.

I too find trolling boring because that’s all I did as a kid walleye fishing. The only time it was fun was when I was driving the boat and there was a chop. Ten years old 3mph and 1’ waves… I thought I was king of the water! 😁

When I met my wife she had three horses at her mom’s house and I volunteered to help with the daily chores and yes it is a ton of work. It never fails either, hay would always show up when it was 90* and super humid. We never did round bales so carrying 300-400 square bales in 90* was always an adventure.

2-3” in a day is a pretty good clip up here. I can’t fathom 6-7” an hour!

I left a package of Rage craws in my boat last summer and the clamshell warped but the craws were fine. First time that’s ever happened. It must’ve been dang hot under there.

Almost all my reels were Abu reels. I read quite a bit on here how happy so many members were with Daiwa reels so I gave them a shot. Then I added another and another and well you get the idea. I still have other reels I like but Daiwa has the majority in my arsenal. Same with Dobyns rods. A pros recommendation doesn’t sway me one bit, it’s the everyday Joe like we have here that I’ll listen to.

I’m currently in the works to swap names with @IcatchDinks which is why I haven’t thrown my hat in the ring yet. 😂

I heard the first one of the summer yesterday.

@Catt I’m sorry to hear this terrible news. Your impact on this site can never be measured and just know Catt, that you will live on forever here on this site. Now go make your days count!

I’m with you on this one. At this point in life my time is limited. Up until a couple years ago my job required me to work a ton. After a job change I’m not working as many hours but between a teenage son that can’t drive yet, honeydo lists, and family things I haven’t gained much time on the water. I still get out frequently but time on the water isn’t as long as I’d like it. So, at this stage of life I like to look at it as I’m honing my skills in preparation for the next phase where I can spend a half or full day on the water.

I’m picturing a bunch of enabling more than anything else in those meetings. 😁

Silver dollar? That’s huge! Thankfully it’s not in the hull so JB Weld marine repair should get you squared away.

Give me the address and you’ll have myself and 6poundbass down there willing to harvest as many hogs as your brother would like! The best tasting pork I’ve ever had! Fishing would be a bonus.

You’re a year early Marty Mcfly. Happy birthday to the greatest country.

When I lived on a lake we had a round one. It went under the road to feed another lake across the road. We called ours a toilet. 😁 If there’s enough flow, it can act as a conveyor belt of food starting with the microorganisms and works its way up to your target species.

Maggie continues to do absolutely great! However, I’m about to leave and take her to the vet to get her spayed. To say the Mrs. Is a bundle of nerves would be a major understatement!

Holy crap, I’m the biggest moron! This topic has been going on for almost a month now and this whole time I’ve been reading Menderchuck! It wasn’t until @A-Jay’s most recent post did I finally realize it’s Bacarac. I’m just going to stand in the corner and work on getting my head out of my wazoo.

Another vote for @Siebert Outdoors tungsten weights. Shortly after a replaced all my lead with his tungsten weights he came out with the ones with the weight size on them (just my luck). I’ve been trying to lose them so I have a reason to replace them but I just can’t bring myself to it. 😁
