  1. I don't think 46 does jealousy. He is, after all, the world's happiest angler.
  2. Dang it! I just bought the same lure yesterday for four grand!!!
  3. I tried it once. I was soooooo cold and found no joy staring at a hole in the ice.
  4. Heck, yeah, Koz, it sounds exciting. BRAND NEW hotels and new water to fish. It's so cool that Glenn makes space at BR for the gang to rally around each other for topics beyond catching bass. Go, Koz, and thanks, Glenn!
  5. @Team9nine: I think your migration from bank fishing in the Midwest to boat fishing in the South is fascinating in large part because you consistently caught and catch bass in two starkly different environments. I didn't see any learning hiccups, but were there? And if so, what was challenging and how did you overcome it?
  6. Fingers and toes crossed for you. I hope times two for fellow canoeists.
  7. Above freezing temps overnight is the key. 24 hours of melting everyday.
  8. Your appointed fishing!
  9. I'm just glad that somebody is catching fish and sharing their catches!
  10. @txchaser: You've caught a bass over 13 pounds, so I believe everything you asserted. I will only add that the deepest water I fish is 10'. Often, 8' is the deepest. So, I don't think the smaller and bigger bass I catch separate themselves as much by water depth as the smaller and bigger bass you catch, where you range of depths is much more pronounced. Without such stark depth differences, I catch most of my bigger fish in shallow water. I caught the 5.5-pounder and 4-pounder below minutes apart, both up against the shoreline. You can see from the photos that they were hugging the shoreline, each in about a foot of water. They might not be big to you, but they're pretty big bass for mid-Maine. One time in the fall of 2024, I did catch a 4-pounder, a 5-pounder, and a 4.5-pounder on three consecutive casts in the middle of a pond where it was deeper, so I have learned that the bigger bass in Maine can relate to deeper water. Just not always. Lacking Forward Facing Sonar, it's a crap shoot finding them anyway, but my Female Finding Sonar aka my hunches works pretty well most days.
  11. Thank you. However, dragging on the bottom worries me. See the image below? That's what much of the lake bottoms that I fish look like. Can you drag a jig over that without getting caught? When the bottoms don't look like that, they're a mat of weeds. I tend to fish high, usually on the surface, for these reasons.
  12. Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays TnRiver46 from the swift completion of his appointed fishing.
  13. 2014. However, even seven feet is just a slice of 41 feet.
  14. I would have trolled both ways and caught some bass. Seriously, I'm glad that tree is gone.
