My not too secret SMB lure
Funny how when you look back at what you caught MANY bass on 30 or so years ago, and you now don't use any of it...???

Baitcaster ratio as a second rod for river smally
^^^this^^^ you definitely want a faster ratio reel because of those speed demon smallies! I like using a baitcaster for target casting cover while kayaking rivers. MUCH better accuracy than a spinning reel. I use a pair of older discontinued BPS Carbonlite CL10H's (the gold colored ones).

Possible new PA state record released
I'd say close to a 7lb'er, because of it's length. Does not have that "PIG" girth though. I've caught hundreds and hundreds of smallies over 5 lbs, and multiple dozens over 6, with several over 7, all from Lake Erie over the last 30 years, and that's not 9 lb'er.

Possible new PA state record released
oh boy! not another one! that isn't close to 9lbs! my biggest smallie is a 7lb 14oz, and that doesn't weigh that.........IMHO?

Brand new Tracker 175 having holes cut in it before sale.
Oh hell no!? I would NEVER buy a brand new boat that they had to cut holes in it to fix a manufacturer problem from the get go! NO WAY!!!

using gunnel track to mount depth finder
those who have a gunnel track, here's a nice clean way to mount your console graph. I like it better than flush mount in console. i can take it off, and avoid theft! i had to use the angled bracket, since my track is on an angle. https://berts-tackle.shptron.com/p/polar-kraft-track-bracket-set-60-2-brackets?pp=8

Help with Mercury 25 outboard 2 stroke
NEVER heard of running a full can of seafoam in 1 gallon of gas unless you are using it as a "shock" method. meaning idling around, not more than 2000 rpms, for 20-30 minutes, then letting sit for about 30 minutes, repeat if neccesary, then hooking 100% gas/oil mix without seafoam and running full speed for a while to clean it out. NEVER running around normal speeds/full speed at a 1 gallon gas/full can of seafoam!

preventing cabin fever
I live in northeast Ohio, and I fish out of my boat in my area, including Lake Erie, till mid December. You would not believe the fishing through November! As good as spring at times! if winter is mild, the bite can last till Christmas!

Summer Vacation 2019
Lol St Lawrence hasn't been a "secret" for over 30 years! I used to go twice a year there back in the early 70's through the early 80's. It was magical!!! EVERY species was plentiful! You could catch a dozen trophy musky in a day, dozens of trophy Northerns in a day, and 200 bass a day back then! I was catching 30-40 lb Northerns & Muskies at 7-8 years years old! My father spoiled us! Still awesome, and still can catch 200 bass a day at times, but pressure took it's course, and the fishing for the "trophy" toothy critters has definately took a hit.
