I’m not a fan either

McConnell here

I could smash some shepards pie right now!!!!

Happy St Patrick’s Day!

For what it’s worth, it’s officially spring Friday.

We have more snow on the ground now than we did for Christmas.

That must be one tiny tree!

LLLLLLLLLETS GET READY TO WEIGHING THEM! Ggggggiant bass! Which one do you love more? 😂

Seaguar has been my go to for several years now. They have something for every price point.

I’ve been working on my pitching. 😂

Out on bail and now certifying fish in Michigan.

It’s the blue one on the map.

Long winter Pal? 😂 This could be a new record for oldest thread dug up.

Well, I have two local lakes that are fully open! I can’t say for sure when they open but it’s been within the last 48hrs. My original prediction was 3/17 so I wasn’t too far off. The weather was nice today (almost 70) but for the foreseeable future it’s back to typical March weather a mixture of winter and early spring so I won’t be launching anytime soon. Plus, I have some to replace the batteries and trailer bearings.

Congrats on the boat!

Anyone have Michigan tornadoes in early March on their winter weather bingo card?

Question, and this is for anyone who’s been. I’m hearing I wanted to try this and the guide didn’t think it would work and one guide was hunting and the other seemed stuck on a certain area/pattern. Can you not say you want to try this or that or say you want to target this area or that? I get the guide can make or break a trip as can many other factors that are out of anyone’s control, guides included. My only guide experience was mixed. It was a bachelor party and chartered two boats on Lake Michigan for salmon. My boat, it was slow and ended up catching one fish each. It was a good time but very slow. The other boat were catching them left and right and the two captains were talking and the one told our captain to come on over and our captain was a stubborn old man who didn’t want to come over. I get it, coulda shoulda woulda. I’m not a salmon angler so I’d never consider or even have a clue where to target salmon. We’re all bass anglers and have experience, ideas, and things we’d like to try. Is that not welcomed when you hire a bass guide?

It’s the mustache.

A little over a month from now.

Welcome to Bassresource

I don’t either. I’ve broken two rods in 30 plus years of fishing. One while fighting a bass and it was the first or second time using it. The other I snapped when it got caught up in the boat cover while taking it off. Obviously my fault. I must be too. 😁

Boy that’s a bit of a wake up call. I’ve done this more than a few times with the transom. We’re not getting any younger. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

It depends. If there’s very little to no wind I let it move me but keep an eye on my speed and adjust as needed. If it’s breezy, I go down wind and work my way upwind so I have better control over my direction and speed. If I catch a fish when there’s little to no wind, I maintain my position with the TM. More wind and a fish catch or two, I’ll drop anchor. I rarely fish when it’s windy and if I do I’m basically always moving just hoping to catch something since I don’t have spot lock or a TM tray so it’s quick the workout trying to maintain precise position and even a fish catch will blow my way off course.

That’s one special lady right there. Bravo Lynn!
