I’ve been pretty diligent about this for 8-10 years now. I’m not even 40 yet and I’ve had moles removed etc, plus a family history with different cancer. Like others said, I’m long sleeve sun shirts, wide brim hat, glasses, and sunscreen. Only think I don’t like is that my big hat tries to fly away when I really giv er on the throttle.
I put aluminum angle on over the plywood and then brought the turf up to the edge of the angle and trimmed it flush. If you are interested in photos and detail let me know. I also have at least one full sheet of turf left over and a full stick of the aluminum trim, I’d let that go really cheap if you are interested in it.
I think that kid was probably majorly stressed, I bet he didn’t realize he said bro 10,000 times.
I also saw a post that said that the captain closed his charter and took his business stuff off the web already.
I know it won’t be lots of people’s cup of tea just due to the politics. BUT, I listen to the current quite a bit just for the variety, and the focus on local artists. I really like their United States of Americana show on the weekends when I can catch it.
I’d add to this that if you purchase from a reputable retailer like Scheels… there is a really good chance they’d handle your warranty claim if you ever needed to use it. I got my Elliott rods from 1,000 Lakes Sporting Goods in Grand Rapids and they are who I would call if I had issues. Lots of those places will help you get taken care of. In my experience anyway.
I had used JTs for years, and liked them. I ended up selling them and going to the Elliot’s. The only reason I like the Elliot’s betters is because you can get a fatter cork (or synthetic or whatever) handle. I have trouble with my hands when it’s cold and holding that narrow JT handle all day was fatiguing for me.
I’ve really come to prefer that 7’3” MLF. You’ll be happy with those rods.
We saw you out there, strangely saw a few other mud boats out there as well. I was with my buddy in his gray skeeter. Was cold cold in the morning on Saturday, that’s for sure. We caught more fish later in the morning than early on, I think that was based on location more than bite window though.
I saw you guys bopping around on Saturday. We had a similar day, slower than we’d like but not bad. All of our fish came vertical, we didn’t get a single fish pitching.
There is snow on the ramp but people are using it.

I don’t carry all that often, but the holsters I’ve liked the most have been from Wright Leather Works. I have come to prefer their OWB pancake holster for hip carry. I’ve also got their IWB holster that is very nice as well. You’d be welcome to check these holsters out if you’d like. It sucks buying and not liking.
For my do all bourbon that I keep around and like to sip, but don’t feel bad mixing in cocktails… Woodford Reserve
Everybody has it, it’s a reasonable price, and it’s just good.
There are lots more fancy and sought after bottles, but this is my favorite “old reliable”. It’s like the 1/4 jig and plastic version of a bourbon.
Upon further investigation, I didn’t realize this because it’s only available as an angling license, it’s not an option to get a 3 year sportsman license.
I did t know a 3 year license was an option? This is for a MN fishing license?
I have the brushless Garmin troller on my 18’ tiller and have it rigged with 36 volt lithiums. I’m a believer.
Old stuff was just cooler than how they make new stuff. No way around it, that old fishing rod looks awesome.
I was going to say that it looked like the ones made by Blue Fox. But I never saw the bodies sold on their own, I always saw them sold pre rigged on their pyramid jig heads.
In my opinion… I’ve had two different Milwaukee jobsite radios and I don’t think either have sounded very good. I have less expensive JBL speakers that we use on the patio and when we are in the hot tub and they sound much better. I’m not going to be buying anymore Milwaukee radios. They are tough, but if the sound quality is important, they aren’t the best option in my opinion.
I’m a Project Manager at a large local General Contractor. I just made a change after doing reconstruction and sales roles for nearly 12 years (same company). Change can be good, it can re motivate you when you’ve got to hustle and learn. That’s been the case for me.
It’s a hump to get across town, but every time I’m there I try to go see music at Floores Country Store. I go early and eat tamales and have a cold Lone Star. It’s a great venue.
Sam’s Burger Joint has some killer music too.
^The only thing worse than the chemicals in those things is the cost. Watch someone at a gas station buy a pack of cigs and a couple energy drinks….and it’s absurd what it costs for them to just slowly kill themselves.
And they do it every day. I work for a contractor and it’s a ritual for folks to stop every morning and get their “supplies”.
One thing that does have me down about dry January is this… we went to see music last night at the Turf Club. I ordered their Bauhaus N/A beer…standard 12 oz can, get ready, brace yourself, NINE BUCKS. I think that’s enough to drive a guy back to drinking when you can get a Hamms tall boy for like $5-6.
Ok, I’ve calmed down, back to our regularly scheduled programming.
I’m doing the dry January thing this year. I rarely ever go too far, but I haven’t taken a month off maybe ever. I found that I like the ritual more than the feeling. A few N/A beers and some kombucha on occasion and I don’t think this will be too tough.
It’s always good to “check in” though
I’ve been really interested in Bajillos, I think they are almost entirely recycled materials for the frames also. I just want to get a pair in hand before I take the leap. I have had 2 pairs of Costas, and after wearing a pair of Maui Jim’s for the past two years… they are the benchmark for me. But I want to like the Bajillos so report back!
My dog would be a walking pin cushion if I decorated the tree with fishing lures…it looks great though!
Canvasback Outdoors has a great option. I’ve had mine for several years and it’s holding up great. It will do what you are describing and will also convert to cover the seats when they are flipped down. It’s water resistant/proof and has kept my seats in great condition even though I have the dog in the back seat constantly.
I can also recommend Diamond Detailing very highly, but he is all the way out by New Germany. Family run business and they do a good job.
Glad you made it back ok. Please post a photo of whatever boat you end up with so I know it’s you…I think I see you nearly every time I fish down there.
Are you scooping them into a bowl of water when you clean them? The seeds will sink and the white pithy stuff floats so you can separate everything.
It wouldn’t even let me stream it anymore before the main event even kicked off.
