When loaded with cargo and creating their own tidal current, they can sometimes turn on the bite… It's amazing how insignificant one feels in a 20ft boat when they are next to a ship. There is a ship builder in Sturgeon Bay WI. I had the Lund out there many times. Driving by a ship that is 150ft long and 50ft high, above the water, is impressive to say the least. 3 Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 After almost a year of grinding with big swimbaits, my 12 year old son finally caught his first one! He was throwing the bullshad 6" bull gill. His combo is a Dobyns Fury 795sb and a Curado 200K with Gomexus 105mm carbon fiber handle. The line is 17lb CXX. He is hooked now for sure. 16 Quote

Way north bass guy Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 Got a good start on our new driveway into the barn/workshop this weekend. Ready to spread some A-gravel on it now, then do a bit more work along the side of the barn, then I can get my boat shed addition built. I’m now also going to have all of my work related materials and tools on one site, that happens to be about 60 yds from my house. That’s gonna make getting ready for work in the morning so much easier, won’t have to try and remember what property I’ve left a specific tool at anymore ?. 10 Quote

Super User slonezp Posted May 28, 2022 Super User Posted May 28, 2022 First crappie. First real fish all by himself in fact. He casted the line, set the hook, and reeled it in without help from papa. He got 4 fish and I got skunked. 12 Quote

I don't think so, but it was oddly bent up and over the toe next to it in such away that I got woozy nauseous once what I was looking at really registered. Glad I didn't puke right on it. I grabbed it in a panic, gave it a yank, then it snapped back into position. It's healing up nicely though. Sore, but the swelling's mostly down. Sneakers today. I'm sure the dose of roids my orthopedist had me on helped it along. Just happy I didn't go down on impact and blow up my shoulder again. Rehab's going well and I really need to fish. Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted May 28, 2022 Posted May 28, 2022 Two over 8lb back to back fishing deep water management canals. Both on the savage gear line through shad. Got to break in my new swimbait combo really good! 14 Quote
