Sounds like a loose wire to me. Time to start checking your connections.

I was just thinking about that today, wondering how few days you had left before take off.

Good luck, and enjoy your fishing!

I use a Ram mount as well at the bow.

I saw on the news last night he signed up for on line classes at Central Michigan, (where he played) four days before he was released. Must be even he saw the writing on the wall! ?

I’m still trying to decide what I’m going to do as well. I think I’m going to use the trusty ‘ole anchor and use the trolling motor to keep me from turning. Then I might add a DIY shallow water anchor to the mix next year, they can be done fairly inexpensive. I haven’t fished too many windy days since upgrading boats last fall, so I have just been using the trolling motor and fight that battle which gets old real quick.

Pretty impressive!

Lions are still undefeated! I think I’ll head to Detroit this weekend and save myself a spot along the Super Bowl parade route. ? A boy can dream can’t he?

Well dam!

I saw this yesterday, goes well with your post.

@slonezp he may need a couple cheeseburgers, but he’s a blocking machine on the O-line. Three tackles on defense Saturday as well. He’s loving tackle football.

Lions are undefeated woohoo!!!! ??

Wow! Forgot about this thread, I never did finish reading it. I hardly night fish, nonetheless very informative!

My son is in 3rd grade so I don’t think they fully get in to American history at this point. However the past two years they have discussed 9/11 and every year they attend a ceremony at the firehouse across the street from his school. He has brought home books from the library about WWII and the 9/11 attacks and he’s asked me about it, so I think he’s like me and taking and interest in American history. When we were in school (graduated 17 years ago) we covered everything from the pilgrims up to current events, with a big focus on WWII (including Pearl Harbor) and the holocaust. The Vietnam war was covered as well but it doesn’t seem like it was covered for very long. I'm not sure that everyone cares only about themselves, instead I think since social media the self centered ones have a platform to boost egos and push their beliefs, while the true people who do good prefer to do it behind the scenes, because they aren’t doing the good deeds and helping others for the attention.

Welcome to the club. My best frog days I’ve ever had were in early to mid October and I’m in Michigan. The pads were dying off and almost every cast I was getting a blow up. There were two days about a week apart, same lake. The second day was the best, it was windy, spitting rain, and about 50-55 degrees out. My wife and I only caught about a half dozen but the smallest was 2.5 and I caught my PB at 5-4 or 5-6. We had a couple in the 4 pound range and a couple in the 3 pound range. I wish we could’ve stayed out but my John boat at the time was getting blown all over. Good times to be had with the frog!

I feel your pain.

Email yourself the picture and resize it that way. Easiest way for me.

That’s this thing here in Michigan. I’d say 70% of the fishing boats are multi species, and 90% of those are Lund or Tracker with Lund being more prevalent than Tracker. I’ve yet to see a Vexus boat either. I don’t think we’ll see many Vexus boats around since they’re based in Arkansas and we’re way up north. For the past month I’ve been seeing a Vexus truck driving around and when launching my boat on our lake I saw it at one of the houses on our lake. I checked out the website on the truck and turns out the dealer is in my home town! I’m hoping to get some time in the future to go there and see if they have a couple on display.

From what I’ve read they’re selling as fast as they can make them. Are most of the boats you see in MN multi species boats? They’ve only been making them for a couple months now.

Go to the Vexus site and click on find a dealer.

Today 6poundbass had a his first tackle football game. He’s loving it!

J thanks to this I’ve had an ah ha moment. I’m in the same boat (pun intended) as the OP, I upgraded boats and I’ve moved offshore this year and have been on the struggle bus all year. I just started pitching jigs about about two or so months ago and love it. That’s what I do to salvage the day is pitch to lay downs, docks, and especially boat lifts. I never thought to work backwards. Hopefully now the struggle bus will start to break down. Thank you

That’s the norm up her so I’m not surprised either, then again our city water is always 4’+ deep and requires a special key at the curb box to shut it off. There’s always a shutoff just after the meter so no one has to deal with the city like unfortunately you have.
