Worse part? 3 days ago we were at 88 for the official high and my yard was totally clear of snow.

Others to look at are the Yo-Zuri 3DB SP-110 and SP-110 Deep

Looks like you got a bit more than me...maybe an inch in my backyard...

Ah yes, lovely April weather we're having.

I just got a length of steel pipe that fits over the handle of the breaker bar if I need more leverage.

Ya - the tool box I keep in the rear of the cab includes a breaker bar and a set of deep sockets.

That's why I have 3 batteries in 'Bass Trek' - starting, TM, everything else.

I like to keep battery functions separate...starting battery for the motor, deep cycle for everything else....quirk of mine.

I've always used a deep-cycle for non-starting applications...never seemed to give me issues doing that. Current setup is a 100ah AGM deep cycle for the TM and a 35ah AGM deep cycle to run pumps, lights, sonar, my cameras and my tablet. I got a small Group 24/550cca for the Evinrude.

Last three days we were 87, 88 and 84 for the official highs....this weekend?

If you look over Scheels website - specifically at their spinning reels...their 'Scheels Outfitters' brand has "By Daiwa" right there in the description.

I just popped in to check the in-stock Daiwas at the local Cabelas Tatula CT Tatula 100 Tatula SV Lexa 300 Zillion SV and 8 models of spinning reels.

You mean about what it would be if the price hadn't been artificially suppressed all these years? I remember paying $1.37/gallon when I had my Cuda back in 1977 - as a high-school student working part-time, I didn't drive it very much. If gas had kept pace with inflation, it'd be $6.60 a gallon now.

Still waiting for full open water on Tonka - shot of Cook's Bay when I was on an errand this morning.

Was the purchase of Plano 2 years ago during the COVID financial downturn the straw that broke the camel's back? Inquiring minds want to know.

I've got a 5x2...

I've mentioned on another thread that I like crappie patterns as they're one of the main forage in my lakes. Here's my 'collection' - most from Clyde's Cranks....he does a bang-up job though since he paints as orders come it, it takes a bit to get them. Top going clockwise: 110-class jerk, lipless, 1.5 squarebill, 2.5 squarebill, 07 size shad, little deep Off to the side is a Bucca Baby Gill.

If you're not using the rod to move line, but just the reel - you'd need to increase the gear ratio (or turn the handle faster) to pick up more line.

Everyone run - it's the Feds!

Why does this not surprise me? Right - other than the 4 years in Omaha courtesy of the USAF, I've been in MN for 49 years.

Those are some very nice bass...and I'm jealous. Ice still on the lakes, though slowly disappearing - and bass season doesn't even open for another 30 days.

He didn't follow @Glenn's advice.

Dutch and Whaletail are the one's I'm looking closely at....

Ok - Keller has been declared open now
