12poundbass

Why didn’t you flash your Bassresource moderator credentials and get into one of the suites and out of the elements? ?

We only got around 2” here, far from the 4-6 they were calling for. A bit chilly today and the overnight lows are getting into the single digits. On my way home from dropping 6poundbass off at a friends today I actually saw a guy venturing out onto a pond across from the lake next to us to do a little ice fishing. I saw his tracks where he went out to check it first before coming back to grab his pop up and gear. The pond is small, but I think it’s a bit premature to try ice fishing yet. Most lakes around are still partially open.

Back in the day I got into Abu Garcia for two reasons 1: Ike was (is) sponsored by Abu Garcia 2: They had entry level baitcasters and rods readily available at Walmart. The Blackmax and Promax reels are still really good reels! I’m slowly phasing out some of my older Abu reels with Tatulas which I’ve really taking a liking to, and phasing out some cheaper rods with Dobyns and St. Croix which I’m really liking as well. As far as lures I’ve kind of done my own thing. I have taken advice from several on here and tried different lures and companies. The opinions on here hold more weight than sponsored pros.

I read (nothing official) Googan baits picked him up. Que the exploding heads.

Yup that was an excellent game.

I’ve been a big Abu Garcia fan for years and years and only had Abu Garcia reels. I took a leap of faith and tried the CT 100, then tried a 150. I’ve been extremely happy with them after 2 years. I’m phasing out some of my older cheaper Abu reels with some more Tatula reels, maybe even try a Fuego just because.

Trust me I’m not. The SEC is the conference PERIOD, but I don’t think they’re the all, all end all conference. Just like until this year Ohio st ran away with the Big 10, there are holes in each conference.

If I’m not mistaken, Alabama is the first SEC team to win a bowl game this week. Georgia took Hutchinson out of the equation and this is what we’re left with. As a Michigan fan I’m not surprised.

Here’s to a new year, Michigan is losing, and a new drink!

Those signs are great and are trying to set an example and standard, but let’s face it no matter how much it’s pounded into everyone’s head life happens, stress happens. We’re human and things are going to happen. Sounds like you’re coming off the ledge, like you said you just needed to vent, sounds like it’s working.

Love the show. I wish there were more episodes per season!

You da man!!!!

The other day I got the YouTube notification from Zona for the promo on the upcoming season. We now have Spectrum for our TV provider and the package we have doesn’t have the Outdoor channel. We have Hulu, Roku, and a few others. Are there any options besides going up a package?

At peak this year there were 12 I was responsible for and this coming dig season upwards of 24. There were a few times this year where we had people on PTO and others who had called in at the same time and it’s VERY stressful especially at peak season. When situations like this happens of course nothing goes right those days which adds to the already stressful situation. There were times where I’m sure the missing people knew my frustration, I’ll add these people who knew my frustration are the frequent fliers when it comes to calling in. I try very very hard not to let my stress get the best of me especially towards my team but sometimes it just happens. There’s only one time where I’ve let an employee have it and that was only after he started in on me, but it happened between he and I over the phone. He was a major liability to our company and the public so I didn’t feel too bad. I have never and will never get after someone in front of anyone else. I wouldn’t look much into yet especially since you’ve had a good working relationship to this point. If it were to continue I’d be looking at options and proceed from there.

I’ve never tried disc golf. I was in a township hall parking lot a while back and they have a course on their property. As I’m sitting there I’m watching a few people unload their gear getting ready to play a round and they all had these carts and they were full of different colored discs and some appeared to be thicker than the others. I’ve never paid attention I guess so I didn’t realize there were that many different options and tools for the sport. Probably like people who don’t fish and see all our crap. “I thought all you needed was a hook and a worm”. ?

The heart attack snow is the absolute worst! Single stage and two stage don’t work like @gimruis said. I’ve never tried a three stage but doubtful it would make a difference. I wonder if the issue is the moisture in the snow, the cold temps, and the heat from engine creates the perfect recipe for clogging?

I’d agree Minnkota probably has the most negative reviews because they out sell the others by far, kind of like Tracker and Nitro boats. Don’t forget to look into Power Pole’s trolling motor.

I’m clueless to what is still popular and what isn’t. I know it’s popular with him and a few of his friends. We’re currently renting until our house is done and we decided to catch up with the times and get internet so this is the first time being able to play online so he may be like me and be behind the times. Lol

Watching this show some more I am absolutely amazed how many old, rickety, wooden boats there are still in use! It seemed like a lot of the disabled boat calls or taking on water calls are these old wooden boats. I’m not referring to the updated refurbished wood boats, these things look to be in pretty rough shape and barely maintained since new. I get newer boats are VERY expensive, and these boats are the livelihoods of the owners but geez it’s a roll of the dice.

I can remember specific details of a 10 minutes locate I did 8-9 years ago, but I run to the store 2 minutes from my house and I call the wife and say, “what did you want from the store?”. Happens all the time!

I think we made it to midnight 3 years ago, and maybe one other time in the last 7-8 years. Most weekends we’re sleeping by 10:30-11. A couple Saturday’s ago we were wide awake by 4:30! We’re old! ?

I get a little pale this time of year from lack of sunlight in Michigan. You know how these Michigan winters are. Hey, it’s winter, I’ll take what I can get as far a fishing goes. Fishing is done for the night, 6poundbass kicked me out of his room. Apparently Fortnight with his friends is more important than fishing with dad. ?
