MN Fisher

Ouch.... My home-boys aren't doing much better..

^ No issues there either...entire nutritional extraction system from input hopper to waste management is functioning normally.

I'm with Tommy - pot of coffee through the day, sometimes a 16oz glass of Raspberry Ice Tea, I'll make a smoothie 2-3 times a week with 8oz of milk...and maybe a ginger ale now and then. That's pretty much it - and yes, my pee is just fine, thank you.

That's exactly what Brit did with me on the guided trip I had earlier this year. She found spots that looked promising, suggested techniques and even color options. Still the best day of fishing I've had this year.

Since my Aird-X H/F handles 50# 832 with no issue, I don't see a problem...if it doesn't, then it's not worth the price even at discount.

I'm sorry... Okay - we can't be friends anymore.

Got mine in Seth did say on FB earlier today that he's been having a really bad practice...hope he does better in the live rounds.

4" 2/0 EWG 5" 3/0 EWG

If it is - something's wrong with the motor. The Newport 55# is suppose to max at 52amps

I'm betting Pflueger will be the first to go considering they trimmed all but the President XT from their baitcaster lines a couple years ago.

EEP!

Doubt there's much salt-water fishing in OK Van Staal's are mostly for sport fishermen going after Tuna, Marlin, Sailfish, etc....maybe could use for sturgeon or big muskies in fresh water...but it's not ideal.

Forgot Plano Synergy which it purchased in 2021 - Includes Plano Molding, Frabill, Barnett Crossbows and others.

Click the Speaker icon at the top of the frame to turn audio on - audio is fine here. Typical G-Man - long winded and somewhat irreverent.

Just like any other predator - and make no doubt that sunnies and crappies are predators, just smaller prey than bass (who are close cousins). They're gonna follow their prey, and search for cover to hide from those that hunt them. As deeper weeds die off, quite a number are going to move into the shallower weeds to keep hiding...and that's where their prey will be (minnows, insects, etc) trying to hide from them. The bass are going to follow their prey - the sunnies and crappies.

No shad? Follow the sunfish and shiners.

Pteranodon... (Science-geek Ken)

Growing up in the 60s and 70s...old school music to me is Glen Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, etc

Performance above all - looks definitely secondary. Of course saying that, there are visuals that turn me off - bright colors, tie-dyed reels...nope...don't care how well they perform, they cause eye strain for me.

Watch your back...I'm coming up fast...

Is that direct from the Garmin, or is there another connection between the battery and the head unit? By the picture.... Plain red wire should be positive - currently connected to negative Red/Black wire should be negative - currently connected to positive So it looks like there's a polarity reversal somewhere between the battery and the unit. Since it worked fine at Scheels maybe even the plug that connects to the cradle...did you bring your cable or use theirs? Or it could even be the connections inside the battery - what's the brand of that battery? I know it might seem anal...but that's how nit-picky I am when wiring up things.

MSRP is $55 for the Aird-X - sometimes you can find them for $45 I have a 7' H/F which is my frog rod, Fuego CT-XS with 50# 832...does quite well tossing frogs actually...I'm not sure if I'm gonna upgrade it or not right now.

It's a hive-mind thing.

Okay - I'm baby-stepping my way into this. Just picked up some plain swimbait heads and wanted to 'spice them up'. Pro-Tec paint from Barlows, some larger eyes for the 1/2oz I got from Amazon and smaller eyes from Barlows for the 1/4oz. Right now, 4 colors should do me: (reverse order) Green Pumpkin, Green Chartreuse, Black and Fire Craw. My setup is bare-bones - cheap craft heat gun, rack I made from scrap aluminum and a brass rod, and a salvaged toaster oven. The wire-rack in back is my 'cooling rack'...also did up some 1/32oz and 1/16oz ball jigs for crappie fishing. Yes, the toaster oven is set to 400 - the oven thermometer was used to calibrate it...dial says 400, thermometer went "uh-uh, 350"

I have an Okuma Reflexions 7'0" MH/F spinning rod with a Supreme-30 mounted. 20# Braid to 12# YZH leader. I use this for my jig skipping as I can't skip with a casting rig to save my life. Rod is rated to 1-1/4 oz, so I can toss quite a bit.
