  1. something about carbon credits, they have to produce certain amount of ev,s to be able to sell ice vehicles.
  2. Are dealers also trying to make back the costs of making EV,s and now scaling back on ev,s due to slower than anticipated sales they keep gas vehicles high?
  3. crappie and bluegills still biting in detroit lakes area this past thursday june 20th. Used wax worms again on ice fishing jig also minnows on 1/16 oz ballhead jig but only crappie would take a minnow.
  4. I enjoy catching anything that puts up a fight, buffalo head are great fighters in the river i catch them in, they are as solid as a plate of steel. Of all the fish i dislike most is northern pike unless its big and makes for a fun catch, also rock bass get annoying and bullheads. Is this a bowfin you are referring to?
  5. MS reduces crappie limits because of FFS Best solution imo. Limits are set based on the maximum the biologists feel the system can handle and the catch rate of anglers. Catch rates go up, limits come down. Fair for everyone. I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing some waters where technology is restricted for those who want that experience but I wouldn’t limit that to FFS. No wake, no sonar, no spot lock, no electric anchors, no trolling motors. Bet a lake like that would be very quiet. The Commission on Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks voted to reduce the daily limit at four popular crappie lakes and at the heart of the matter is technology. Enid, Grenada and Sardis lakes, along with the Arkabutla Lake, which is currently closed to boating for dam repairs, are among the top lakes in the nation for crappie, but anglers and biologists alike say that would have changed if the current 15 crappie per angler per day limit remained due the use of live sonar, commonly called LiveScope. "We did a 3-year study on Sardis, Enid and Grenada looking at if they were catching fish with a single pole or trolling," said Keith Meals, regional fisheries biologist for the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks. "We also looked at if they were using live sonar. "In that 3-year period we saw our fishermen using live sonar increase from 20% to 70% and it's probably higher than that, now." John Harrison of JH Guide Service said he supports a reduction in the daily limit on crappie at Arkabutla, Enid, Sardis and Grenada lakes, but feels more needs to be done to protect the fisheries. Meals said the study revealed that anglers using the new technology were catching two to three times more fish than those that did not and have created a situation that is no longer sustainable for the fisheries. "Used to be you went out there and hoped for the best," said Jennifer Ratcliff of Canton, who uses live sonar for crappie fishing. "Now, you feel like you can catch a few any day." However, that technology is having a negative impact on the North Mississippi lakes. So, the commission opted to reduce the limit on the lakes from 15 crappie to 10 crappie over 12 inches in length per angler per day and no more than 25 crappie per boat per day. "We're trying to maintain a quality fishery in terms of size," Meals said. John Harrison of JH Guide Service who guides fishing trips on Enid, Grenada and Sardis lakes said he supports the change. "Something had to be done," Harrison said. "The boat ramps are full all year long. "They just don't get a break and LiveScope comes into play now. It's just a lot of pressure on them right now and has been for the last few years. Something had to be done about the limits."
  6. If you are looking to buy a new vehicle and are dumb enough to pay a markup fee, pay for add-ons or any other cash grab fee then you deserve to get raked over the coals. You shoud never pay MSRP, always negotiate 7 to 10% off msrp with NO add ons or fake fees. Now, today, tomorrow, the ony fees you should be paying is the document fees, tax and licensing. Some states even regulate the document fees the dealers can charge. If you dont feel comfortable or have never bought a new car go watch some you tube videos and learn how to negotiate buying a car.
  7. Its very easy, just go walleye fishing during the spawn in a river by the dam on the bank, put on a 1/8 oz jig with a mr twister curly tail topped with a minnow and dont forget the bobber and throw it out in 3 feet of water, sit down in your bank chair and relax and mind your own business and bam you catch a musky.
  8. Invasion of the Body Snatchers was how i always remember him
  9. All car dealers are profit over people, make em in mexico with cheap labor and jack the price up and sell their inferior product to the unknowning.
  10. Orioles having a great season to date, but we just last week lost starting pitcher Kyle Bradish to tommy john surgery along with starting pitcher John Means and Tyler wells all TJ surgery. Our best lefty reliever Danny Columbe had surgery to remove bone chips in his elbow and might be back in Sept. Play on and hope to hang on and see what happens at the trade deadline.
  11. No i dont eat it, i am sure it is very good as she has been drying blue gil and crappie filets every day since last week, except today, no sun as its raining. This is how philipinos preserve their fish and enjoy cooking and eating it this way with a bowl of rice, soy sauce and some vinager to dip in. When i was living in the philippines i would see fisherman at their homes displaying hundreds of fish filets spread out on sheets of plywood drying in the sun for minimum 2 days then taking them to the market to sell or sell on the street. To get the salt to prepare the fish, the fishermans familly fill up large plastic jerry can containers with sea water then bring the containers back and empty out the water in a contained pool of sorts and as the water evaporates the salt is left behind and collected.
  12. i had to look this one up.
  13. I agree, everything i have read on bluegills is they spawn all summer, they may move to another area of the lake to get away from summer weed growth to get down and dirty.
  14. well i was driving behind a van today that reeked of weed smoke.
  15. yes, i was thinking east LA for some reason, to much cheech and chong.
  16. I actually live in Fargo ND, which borders Moorhead MN and i do all my panfishing in Detroit Lakes MN which according to this map i am considered to be fishing in central mn. I am really fishing in west central. I dont know how official this map is so it may vary between maps.
  17. I am not a squid guy, when i lived in san francisco i was introduced to squid at a top end restaurant and i was dipping it into a red sauce and it was good untill later in the year i tried it again at a few different eateries and it was like chewing rubber bands. I then got grossed out on it and stopped eating it and started eating escargo aka snails which i loved, NOT, just joking about the snails.
  18. Nothing wrong with your hat. Thanks, we could have kept 40 fish but i was unsure of the wording of the regs. I have in the past 2 days ate 15 blugills thats 30 filets, not huge filets but makes for a great dinner with salad and such.
  19. Wife constructed a cage to put her fish in to dry in the sun, she marinates it in vinager, put lots of spices like garlic, ginger, chili powder and onion salt on the fish and leaves it out in direct sun for 2 days, then fries it in oil and eats it with a bowl of rice.
  20. Looking at minn regs, how do i interpet the possesion limit of bluegills, sunnys, regs say 20 in possesion, does that mean 20 per licensed angler?
  21. I myself was surprised on how ferocious the bluegill were biting this day, best day ever for us when it comes to bluegills, we tried minnows but not one bluegill was caught on a minnow, it was all about the wax worms. I hope the gills stick around for a few more weeks, the crappie bite was terrible as we usually get our limit on them but only caught 3 this day.
  22. I enjoy fishing in the rain, i am of course fishing from a bank with rain gear on, when it pours i keep fishing or walk around untill it mellows out. For me it adds another element and makes fishing a challenge, yeah i get cold like this spring when it rained i didnt wear enough under my rain jacket to keep me warm and my feet got soaked but i toughed it out which to me makes me feel like Baer Grills.
  23. Wife and I caught these 20 bluegill in 2 hrs at our favorite lake bank in minn. We caught so many more but tossed the small ones back in. No bass were biting which is unusual for this place and i am not sure why. I used a tiny ice fishing jig and i bought some live wax worms 36 per container for $2.99 at fleetfarm. What i did because the wax worms are like jello and after 1 fish they are sucked off or stolen off the hook under the bobber is i thread the hook through the length of the worm and then i take a small tube and cut 3/4 off, put the tube on which jams up against the worm making it much harder for the worm to be sucked off. In the picture that little amount of worm left on after several fish is all it takes to get the fish to bite, the tube alone when used as a whole didnt do squat but the wax worm was the deal.
  24. New york city is implementing a surcharge to drive in the city during certain times of the day, is seattle doing this or any other states?
  25. got my attention with this.
