I have old school graphs so on windy days I can only see if for a second or two before it exits the cone angle. . On calm days I just drop it right next to the trolling motor and can see it easily . You don’t have to be able to see the bait on the screen to catch the bass. Just keep the Sinker on the bottom most of the time or count it down (or back up) for suspended fish

Got a couple decent ones this evening and of course was fooled by mister gaspergou

it’s funny, you hear people all the time say they fished a weekday and there’s still bass boats everywhere, leading them to always make the comment “doesn’t anybody work anymore?” I always reply “well you clearly weren’t at work either” hahana

The problem is every person in the eastern US idles over all the ledges in chickamauga several times a day

In the words of axel rose , “you know where you are ??? You’re in the jungle, baby!!”

Ditto

Shoot I hear that way before I even make it to the Powell side.......

Haha! I’m allergic to bee stings and always “have” to carry an epipen, though I’ve never used it. One time I was digging out a groundhog hole to set a trap and dug into some yellow jackets. Two of them got me on the fingers, not even close to serious enough for the pen but my hand was getting quite huge. I pulled over and got some Benadryl then started driving to my next job. I think I fell asleep 10 times in 25 miles! People around here get Lyme disease a lot yet doctors refuse to admit it exists in this region. I’ve had a bullseye form around a tick bite before, I’ve probably had it dormant for years thanks for the advice, I think you are way ahead of doctors on that topic

Gnats are also immune to chemical spray! We only have no seeums high into the smokies thank god

I’ve heard my entire life not to do this as it’s an urban legend . I’ll try if I can find any in her collection....... I fish several places like that! Two days of canoe floating and I swear a horse fly circles your head from start to finish no matter what chemical warfare is waged. Every half hour or so they bite the crap out of you just to remind you they are there

They are trying! Let them help you. A 19” smallie should fit in any landing net on the market. That’s a small fish for where @J Franchois landing them in his net

Maybe I misinterpreted KO haha

I need to quit reading this thread ......... just go fishing and see if ya like it! If no give to someone else and try another. I prefer kayak fishing without a net. If I devoted this much brain power to selecting a net I would never make it out the front door to go fishing

Yes, my fiancé is a bug spray fanatic haha. We have many bottles of all kinds , cutter is good stuff for the backyard mosquitos!

That works for the skeeters but the ticks seem to drink it for nourishment

Can you make my scale say 6+ 3 times also???? I think my model is stuck on 4 lbs for some mysterious reason......

I’ve only had gar snapping at mine so far but I plan to change it. The h2o express has a significantly sharper hook than the silver minnow

Knock off, imitation

“I’ve had zero issues”

@Bluebasser86has more inventory than tackle warehouse........

I’ve currently got tick bites, poison ivy and chigger bites and I will have to say, chiggers certainly are the worst of the group as far as itching, it’s crazy. Anyone know of a remedy other than scratching the skin away??

well it went halfway in the trap and left footprints all in there................. game on raccoon......... ?

Hahah! I thought I smelled fish when I drove across that bridge ......... @BassNJakecan make them eat a topwater over 100’ of water! It’s a special set of skills.........

Favorite color is nickel, no I don’t use a swivel. I don’t count down, if it hits bottom you can see the line stop sinking. Also the bottom is a great place to work them. If the line stops sinking before it hits bottom set the hook. If it never stops sinking set the hook. Set the hook right after it hits bottom anyway just to be safe, why not?

I’d love to get my hands on some of those blades
