I can’t imagine it was just the wind, those (as you know) aren’t light!

Dang that looks great!

I wish they would but I doubt they will.

A warm windy weekend here, that’s the perfect recipe for ice melting. ?

Garmin is the trend setter in this category , the rest are using Garmins old technology.

No I don’t. It takes 25 different pills but we got it figured out.

Funny thing is, I don’t have anymore issues. ?

Make sure it’s in the kitchen microwave! ??

A coworker put me on to these guys. Pretty good tune.

Between my mom and stepdad there are five of us. My sister and I do not talk at all, my stepbrother and I we’re not not close but we pick up where we left off when we see each other, same with one stepsister, and the other I’ve not seen or talked to in probably 15+ years. My mom and stepdad have done pretty well for themselves, have chunks of land around the state, and have plenty of things at home as well. I hounded them for years to go to an estate planner because I guarantee you it would not be pretty otherwise. My stepbrother and I could be adults, and maybe the one stepsister, but my sister and the other not a chance. Finally they listened to me and according to my mom everything is spelled out to a T. Hopefully that means it would go smoothly, but I don’t know how that works. Hopefully your parents have done or do the same.

I hear ya. How about your book of dad jokes? ?

I guess I’ll take on the burden of your fishing stuff then, to relieve your family of it. The least I can do for you Paul.

When my uncle died several years ago he didn’t have a funeral, visitation, or anything. I talked to my mom about it and how I thought it was strange. She went on to say that’s what her and my stepdad have in their wills. I was taken back by this and asked her why in the heck they would do this. After explaining to me their thoughts on it and they didn’t see the need to put the burden of planning everything on whoever is still around to plan everything, attend everything. It’s engrained in our culture to have those type of things after someone dies. Typically the death of a loved and the days and weeks leading up to the death is an emotional roller coaster (unless the death is unexpected) then to drag it on for another few days afterwards. Like I had previously said I originally didn’t understand the thinking behind it but now I’m totally onboard with it. As far as my dead corpse, I’m going to be cremated and I’ll have my ashes spread around Sneaky Lake. I don’t want my son or wife to keep my ashes and have to worry about hauling me around if they move or having to worry about having to display me or feeling guilty if I’m put in a closet or something like that. ?

We’re inching closer to the deadline to get all permanent ice shanties off the lake and the load limits on the roads are being enforced next week so we’re heading in the right direction. That being said there’s probably still a foot of ice on the lake and 2-3’ of frost in the ground.

Or so you think. ? I like Humminbird too and I’d like to eventually get 360 imaging. I’ve been pretty happy with my Echomap units and you get a lot of bang for your buck and very user friendly we’re the selling points for me.

DO IT!!!!!! Garmin baby! ?

I’d gladly share my boat or any boat with any member on here. There is that list however that is my bucket list. @slonezp @Jigfishn10 @Team9nine @deaknh03 @WRB @TnRiver46 @Bluebasser86 @A-Jay (Mexico and Menderchuck) Pros: Zona, KVD, Ike, Feider, and Wheeler Are there any lawless towns around anymore for this trip?

I haven’t watched it yet, but it’s on my list. “The Men Who Built America” is still my favorite.

Are you going to be selling in stores or just online? If I remember correctly you’re fairly close to me and if you’re going to sell in stores there are a couple small shops around me that try and support local tackle makers.

Always solid advice from you!

Growing up we went to the Columbus race for several years, then we switched to Joliet (Route 66). My dad goes to the US Nationals and has for probably the last 19-20 years.

Rain all day here, upper 30’s for temps, and 3’ of frost is the perfect recipe for flooding. 22* by ten tonight so tomorrow will be one big skating rink!

Fishing related…..no. When I was 16 I tried installing an amp and a subwoofer in my truck and it didn’t work as it should. I had to take it in and pay like $150 for basically 20 minutes of work to probably ground the amp. Worked great after than and probably explains why 22 years later my ears constantly ring!
