12poundbass

What a wild ride! It sure has been windy lately, that’s for sure.

Same thing happened a couple years ago. The mods will fix it.

I saw this a little while ago and thought it was hilarious!

We all do. There are several of us on here with new Garmins this year, so maybe we can all learn together.

I was always meticulous about my hair from about age 10. Now at 37 I barely have any, so you’re right! ?

Yup, cough up the $9 and get an SD card and call it good.

A couple that my wife dog sits and grooms their dog for both got it. He was in the icu for five days and was give a cocktail of drugs to knock it out of him and he was better after a week or so. His wife didn’t qualify for this cocktail and she’s now on week five of flu like symptoms! She’s doing better but holy cow what a nightmare! My boss has it and has for about a week, but is almost back to 100%. Strange how differently it affects people.

My last two orders were pretty quick compared to past orders. I don’t remember where the first came from, but my recent order came from Georgia and I ordered on a Saturday and was here on Wednesday. Just to give you and idea how shipping has been, I placed two separate orders for boat seats that came from Connecticut to me in Michigan and they took 25-27 hours to get here and it was the standard shipping. I ordered my Dobyns rod from TW and it was to me from Georgia in 4 days (standard shipping) I ordered a milk crate from Flint, Michigan (2.5 hour drive from me) and it took almost 2 weeks to get here. There’s no rhyme or reason for how long things take. I’m sure Covid restrictions do play a role somewhat.

Your dogs sure are neglected!

Glad to hear your dad got out and that he’s still healthy enough to fish. I don’t know enough about the Force TM but I imagine it’s links to Garmin units.

With Garmin graphs and TM right? ?

My lake is loaded with warmouth. My son was catching them left and right the first spring we were here and I thought they were bluegill, it wasn’t until he caught and big one and brought it close to me I noticed the mouth and I knew it wasn’t a bluegill. I then researched and realized it was a warmouth! Those little guys are crazy aggressive! There’s one spot we always go to that has a bunch of wood and we pitch to it and almost always got decent bass. The last year it was almost all warmouth hitting our 3/0 EWG T-rigged rage lures.

Now that this boat is pretty much complete, have you decided on what your new boat purchase will be?

My lakes are the same deal here. I’m hoping after burning up some gas idling around I can find a few offshore gems whether it be wood, rocks, composition change or something like that. We shall see.

KVD speed bags

I have a bag of those but I got annoyed with them always sliding down the hook. I don’t know if it’s the oil on them or the hook I use but it drives me nuts. I use a 3/0-4/0 EWG.

I didn’t spend a ton of time playing with my Echomaps either, just getting a few things set up and mostly running the boat. I’m loving the touchscreen too! I’m also loving having the two units linked together too. You’re used to Humminbird so I’m guessing you used the casting ring option? I asked about this several times regarding Garmin and I finally asked Todd Driscoll, so if you’re looking how to tell how far away from your waypoints let me know and I’ll help get you squared away.

Well how did the maiden voyage go and what are your initial thoughts on your new Garmin?

Congrats on the catch and welcome to the inevitable addiction that will soon follow. Get him Baitmonkey! ?

I haven’t been pitching long but have come to love it. I’ve been using a 3/16-3/8 oz tungsten weight and a creature. I’m going to try some jigs this year, I’ve used them before but I’m going focus on them more this year.

I recently upgraded from Gen1 Echomap units to two 93SV UHD over the winter. I got them wired up and networked together last week and I’ll be launching the boat tomorrow. Ive played around with them a bit in demo mode and I’m extremely happy so far. The mapping is great and I’m looking forward to finally mapping my lake.

Nice work!

It doesn’t look like a 12 pound bass but pictures are hard to judge. A nice bass either way.

I’ve had the opposite experience. All my orders have showed up within a week and a half. Last Saturday I ordered a Dobyns rod and it showed up Wednesday or Thursday, it did come from the new Georgia warehouse. I have had the same luck as you though. In the past week and a half I ordered boats seats and they arrived here in Michigan from Connecticut in 1 day. I ordered the Dobyns rod and it arrived here from Georgia in 4 days. Finally I ordered a milk crate for my tackle trays a week and a half ago and that was coming from Flint, Michigan 2.5 hours away and it’s apparently lost according to the tracking and they’ve sent another one. There’s no rhyme or reason to this shipping dilemma that’s for sure. I can get boat seats from Connecticut in 24 hours, but can’t get a milk crate that’s 2 hours from me in a week and a half. How do you lose a milk crate anyways? ?

Welcome aboard!
