MN Fisher

High school - I worked as dishwasher at two places Country Kitchen 4-Star restaurant There wasn't much difference in the kitchens...

15# Tatsu for light to moderate cover. 40#-50# 832 for the heavier stuff.

Omnia has it's own system - post where/when/how caught...link to the baits on their site. Monthly, they have a drawing from all those who posted catches - winner gets a $250 gift cert. Ya, I post my catches there...

That one telescopes, so it can be a shorter handle.

Do not wire the TM into that fuse box unless the box is rated to at least 60 amps. Split the TM and 'house' wiring at the circuit breaker.

My main net in the F-9 is a Frabil Folding. It's also the one I take along for shore fishing. https://www.scheels.com/p/frabill-folding-landing-net/08227123607.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=unpaidlistings_local&store=62&src=hardlines

You mean you weren't issued a real one? Someone is slacking, man.

They might have just changed the color name - I found this on Lurenet - https://www.lurenet.com/smithwick-floating-rattlin-rogue

Doesn't matter if it's bundled or unbundled...if it calls for 6AWG, that's what you should use.

I wasn't aware they were still doing that.

Ya - but it's hard for the fish to get at that jig...so catching is problematic.

Swap the Gold for InvizX and that's my setup.

It will, but for some of us Spot Lock is way outside our budgets. A micro-pole I could probably swing next year if I don't buy much else.

Sometimes life throws you knuckleballs - it's how you get through it that shows what you're made of. Sorry for the loss of your mom and uncle, it's tough losing close relatives and I know from experience. Ya - guys...get that PSA test regularly. Since my treatment for eye cancer, I get my PSA done every visit to my oncologist...forewarned is forearmed.

I dropped a couple spots - and am tied with @Jrob78

Ya - but according to Cornell U, Freshwater Drum have moved in...dunno how easy those are to catch. https://cals.cornell.edu/water-resources-institute/watersheds/mohawk-river-watershed/fisheries-mohawk-river-watershed Otherwise maybe Walleye.

Say's it'll hold a boat up to 1500lbs including people. So I'd say that as long as your total weight is under that, it'll work...but to be on the safe side, I'd give it a couple hundred pounds of lee-way. Maybe next year I'll get one for the F-9 - as my total weight is under 1000lbs.

You got the subscription? It's a paid option, not free...also this is for the App on phone or tablet, I don't know how to do it on a sonar unit equipped with Navionics. Tap Menu, Map Options, Sonar Imagery - that'll give you this overlay...darker the red, the harder the bottom.

I used I-Boating app on my tablet for two years - then moved to Navionics...much more detail and with the paid subscription you get things like bottom hardness.

I would have loved to - but considering it would have cost me around $700 to SeaDek the F-9, and I got the carpet for around $100...my slim budget made the choice for me.

I got two fishing tomorrow - and yes, Austin is one of them. Seth's gotta kiss more Llamas - he's been on a slump this year.

All depends on how fast you go. A 40# Minn Kota will drain 42amps at full power - that means one hour of usage at full will drain 42ah from the battery - so a 100ah Lithium will last you just under 2.5hrs at full speed. At Speed 1 (minimum) it'll drain 5amps...so 5ah per hour of use or 20 hours run-time. It's a semi-logarithmic increase as you step up from Speed-1 to Speed-5 - Speed-3 drains about 50% what Speed-5 does...so about 5 hours of run-time at 'medium'.

Just about every year, I have this in my backyard. Unfortunately, we have a firearms ordinance in the city...so I can't 'collect' dinner out of my yard.

Dakota and Battle Born are considered the best Lithium batteries out there. Look to drop about $1000 for one though...then another $500 or more for a solar charging system that's Lithium compatible. And it'll take days - not hours - to recharge that battery.

I remember having so much fun hunting with a Sheridan Blue Streak .20 cal back in the day. Thing was rugged and very accurate.
