MN Fisher

I won't say the names - but some got famous doing that....

Top quality replacement tip-tops are easily available. Make sure to get the right size. https://www.jannsnetcraft.com/shop/rod-building/fishing-rod-tops/fuji-tip-tops?page=1

How is it 'technically' public. My experience, a lake is either private or public...can't be both.

The wife won't even acknowledge my existence until the first cup of the day hits my system. I go through a whole 12-cup pot every day...then maybe a couple cups of tea. Tea is an even better diuretic. I'm 62-1/2 now and never had a kidney stone in my life.

All my braid is backed with cheap mono. Don't have to use much, just a couple layers will be enough.

I've got maybe 3-4 duplicate lures, and those were acquired by accident....my budget is such that replacing one when I lose it is more feasible than having dupes of everything.

Direct from Northland? https://shop.northlandtackle.com/spinnerbaits-buzzbaits/?_ga=2.191107624.383796168.1655045345-1379896787.1655045345

Try it off the trolling motor - if you see interference, you can put a filter on the sonar's power line. I ran a Garmin Striker 7cv off the single battery in my canoe...with the filter on, I saw no interference. A ferrite-core clip on is what I used https://www.amazon.com/Pienoy-Noise-Filter-Suppressor-Diameter/dp/B07GKBPYB9/ref=sr_1_42?crid=5L15VM0GAXLB&keywords=12v+DC+powerline+filters&qid=1655040273&sprefix=12v+dc+powerline+filters%2Caps%2C124&sr=8-42

Dude, once you let the monkey get it's paw into your wallet - you're doomed. Some nice stuff there - enjoy it.

I got $0.37, a mini-tin of Altoids Wintergreen smalls and a 2-AAA powered Mag-Lite in my pocket...that work? ?

You can send them down here - I'll put them to use.

It's what the flock decides it is... Come on, Tommy - you've been around long enough to know that.

Get the SCUBA gear ready.

How? I go to 'Attachments' and there's no select or delete option. 'Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.' Follow-up - Never mind...found it...it's kinda dim on my screen.

Every June my wild rose bush blooms...ya, I harvest the rose-hips. (when did the max file size get cut in half? Use to be 1.34mb...now it yells at me if it's over 641kb)

Cranks - proper rod and IPT of the reel and they're easy. I do light cranks on a ML/MF (1/8-5/8) spinning rig with a 2500 reel that has an IPT of 25.0. There are MH/Mod-Fast spinning rods out there for larger cranks. Frogging - any decent MH/F spinning rod will work for that. I do have one, but it's relegated to my heavier skipping duty (jigs, chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, etc) Walk the Dog - for my Zara Puppies, I use my M/F spinning rod more than my M/F casting rod for them. Again, larger topwaters (Zara Spooks, etc) could be done on that MH/F rod.

That was a mistake - waders should never be rolled, folded, etc....should always be hung in a way to keep them straight. Depends - did they cost enough to make it worth your time and effort to possibly fix them, or is it worth it more to you to just replace them...only you can make that decision.

Yep - but they were talking non-native in the general...at least rainbows are N.A. native...browns aren't...LMB and SMB are...though the ranges of both have been artificially increased.

Rainbows are at least native to North America - though west coast only...anything beyond that is old transplant. https://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/FactSheet.aspx?speciesID=910 Largemouth are North American from the start - though only Mississippi and Great Lakes and points east - anywhere else in the world, they're a transplant. https://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/factsheet.aspx?SpeciesID=401

Back when I stream fished for trout, I had waders. Did exactly this - hung them up on a specialty hanger. They were bought in the late 70s...so 'old tech' - when I got out of stream fishing, I sold them and they were still leak proof...that was in the mid 80s. Here - try these...$8 investment can save you bundles in the long run https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/rackem-boot-wader-drying-hanger

A little Googling and this is what I could come up with Age - reel was released in 1985 - so about 37 years Ratio - 6:1 was considered 'High Speed' back then...so probably that or less.

So wipe all the record Brown Trout off the books for North America. Brown Trout were imported from Europe - they're not native to this side of 'The Pond'. How many other species are in the same boat?

E-Bay and FB Marketplace are a couple others...
