Yeah, the two in the bass boat were fishing a local tournament. The operator of the boat who is in his 70's and has been fishing this lake for decades. They should have been wearing their PFD but there is conflicting reports about that. However the young men in the jon boat which were brothers age 33 and 25 did not have on their PFD. The way this accident happened the result may have been the same but by those two young men by not wear them they took the most important life saving device in boating out of the equation. This single incident has made my argument that have with my fishing buddy (age 59) about him wearing his PFD and kill switch every time he is under way on the big motor. The only reason I mention ages is because when it comes to (accidents or carelessness) it could have to anyone. We hear about these stories EVERY YEAR why is that man kind has this ridiculous mentality of (This would never happen to me) and go about their day like my buddy does. We have to do better.

The wife and I are planning a camping trip the third week of September. I'm looking for a little info about campgrounds and the bass fishing this time of year. Any info is appreciated.

I have a bass pro 100 mph gortex jacket and bibs for sale or trade. They are in excellent shape no rips or holes. All zippers and velcro is in great shape. Maybe worn ten times, smoke and pet free environment. Size is XL, color is gray and black asking $265.00 TYD Or a trade for a size large of equal quality. I am 6' and 195 lbs now. I lost 20lbs over the summer so this suit is just to big now. I can text pictures or I'll try and crop the pictures and post on here.

Update, the knock sensor being disconnected was my issue.

Sorry for wording it incorrectly "my motor wouldn't push my boat on plane"

Yesterday my 2004 yamaha 225 ox66 vmax wouldn't come up on plane. The bulb wouldn't pump tight so I changed it and of course it wasn't that simple. However when I pulled the cowling last night to start checking lines and filters I noticed that knock sensor was unplugged. Could this keep the motor from coming up on plane?

I was working on a customer's house on Great Creek all week. The Creek was very busy with PWC, wake boarders, and skiers. It may have just the week it was. I got out on the water for about six hours on Friday didn't do anything on the main lake, very hard to fish with all the traffic. We made our way into Six Pound Creek and caught three small spotted bass on the points. I talked to another guy that was there all week, he said he never really got on them. He did better running up the river. I'm going back down there in two weeks to work again. So I'm going to take another swing at them. I met a guy that just moved down there and he is trying to figure them out as well, so I'm going out with and we scratch our heads together. Good luck, let us know how you do.

When you put them on top of each other the Gamakatsu is the thickness of the hook wider.

I can hook you up. I was running low on my Gamakatsu ewg hooks when I ran across this post. I will post a picture shortly

Just wanted to post on here. I received two shipments of these hooks. Everything was as advertised. If you are thinking about ordering some hooks from him don't hesitate.

We always go during the week in the summer no matter what body on water we fish. I think we are going early fall, late September early November.

It may be the Fall anyway, because I don't think the wife is going to camp in the Summer months. To be honest I'm not feeling camping in the Summer months either.

Has anyone ever fished Falls Lake in NC? The wife and I are planning a camping/fishing trip in the near future and I have been looking at this lake on the map and it looks very intriguing. Or if anyone has another suggestion I'm all ears. We are trying to stay around 3 hours or less from home. I live about 30 minutes south or Richmond. I have drawn a 3 hour circle from my house and there is a lot choices.

After two cancellations in 2020 I finally got back down to Florida to visit my brother and my daughter. I'm staying in the Vero Beach area and I'm hoping to be able to get in a couple of days of fishing in. So if anyone needs a fishing buddy next week I'm open. I would pay for all expenses. Or if anyone knows of some places where I could fish from the bank.

Yeah a couple of my buddy's are heading down there to fish Head Waters lake for a few days. The guy that I'm supposed to hook up with doesn't want to fish Head Waters. He said it's to crowded right now with all the people coming in from all over to fish it.
