12poundbass

While waiting for my groceries to be loaded this morning I was watching Edwin Evers YouTube channel the video was “Prespawn 101”. He was talking about gear ratio and said if you don’t have a low speed reel all you have to do is fill the spool of your high speed reel half way and this’ll slow your high speed reel down. I’m not looking to do this since I’m good on low speed reels but I’ve never heard of this and was wondering how this works?

Don’t stop now Paul, you’re finally hitting your stride.

Don’t tell the wife, she’ll be ticked!

That explains why we’ve been seeing plenty more sunny days around here, not too much open water to make clouds. This helps two fold. 1: Seeing the sun even if it’s sun zero sure helps everyone’s mood, a person can only take so much grey gloomy days. 2: The sun will help melt some of this snow. Right now we have anywhere from 12-18” on the ground. It’s nice and pretty for the average person, but for myself and my coworkers who have to walk through it, it’s a PITA, and very gassing. So hopefully this sun will melt some of this. As I’m writing this the weather guesser is saying another 2-4” over the weekend. ?

I complain about the winters, but that’s because that’s all there is to do in the winter is complain about the winter! Michigan is a pretty good state to live in, there are four seasons albeit some way shorter than others depending on the year. There’s a lake around almost every corner, and some decent fishing too. The place I’ve said in the past I could move to is NW Nebraska, the only issue with that is there aren’t any lakes around, so I’ll stay put.

That’s a beast!

Tuesday high of 44 and winds maxing out at 35 mph. Melt that snow wind!

It is currently 27 degrees warmer this morning than yesterday. It’s a balmy 10. ?

To be fair we did get 8” of snow Monday night and it slowed our Tuesday morning work commute down a tad. Things were good by lunch though. ? Seriously though, you guys stay safe down there and let’s hope you thaw out pretty soon!

Welcome aboard. You guys ice fishing yet down there?

Here ya go @chuck-norris-707 this should keep you busy. ?

The Pugs did their business real quick and came right back in, Hank on the other hand seems to have lost his marbles. He kept begging to go out. I sat and watched waiting by the door for the frozen paw dance but it never happened. He just walked around in his own little world eating snow. ?

A tad big chilly here! ?

Siebert Outdoors for jigs, bladed jigs, weights, wire baits, Rage, and so on. Good products, good company.

So Cabelas sent it out, FedEx lost it, Cabelas refunded your money. Cabelas is out money, and you’re not, and you’re never shopping with them again? What am I missing here? ?

Good tune

Will the bass hold tight to those like they do with floating grass mats? ?

I saw this morning, after your snowfall you guys in Lansing are only .7” below your average snowfall.

Leave all your faucets open. That way you let the pressure out so if the water does freeze the water can hopefully freeze the length of the pipe and not expand outward and burst your pipe.

After the 5” we got last night we’re at 24” for the month of February, but we’re still 19” behind our average snowfall for the year. It’s pretty bitter out too. Tomorrow morning will be the coldest so far at a predicted low of -10. ??

After the mass exodus I haven’t participated. I pondered it this year but never got around to it. When it was just BASS I followed the tournament trail pretty regularly but since then I’ve kind of fallen off the scene and don’t pay as much attention as I did before of either trail. I watch a little of the live coverage. Maybe next year. ?

I’ve been looking at that too. The prediction for a week and a half from now is supposed to be upper 40’s here. Fingers crossed. I have a picture of 6poundbass on March 10 last year fishing off our dock and no snow or ice anywhere to be seen.

I do believe everything with Tracker is all aluminum now.

The dealer will do it and of course you’ll pay for it and you’ll be stuck with the old electronics.

Check out the G3 boats too if you have a dealer near by. I have a G3 Eagle and I’ve been pretty happy with it after two seasons. They’re on par with the Lowe.
