I was at 2 packs a day for 12 years and saw my hunting buddy die because he could not quit longer than 2 months to make it on the UofM lung transplant list. Within a month of his death i quit cold turkey and have not looked back….. One thing that worked for me was i decided if a i could quit longer than 1 year with no relapses i would reward myself with a big reward, well i did it and i went out and bought a brand new EXPENSIVE duck hunting shotgun with the money i saved from not smoking..
good luck and remember its all in your head to curve that need or itch …

Anyone selling one ?

Is it for sale ?

I agree on giving out hotspots as most people like to rape and pillage the panfish up here and have 10 cousins that need to fill the freezer also … Just what i have witnessed on some local small lakes

Not sure of the name of the guide, my dad spoke to him and a couple of hunters throughout the week

I am 15 miles south east of grand Rapids and same problem, all the bears on camera come and go whenever they want with no real pattern, acorns acorns and more.. Had a guide by me that had 10 guys from North dakota and they went 0-10 openning week. i am still baiting and will try again this thurs-sat and that is it for me. been on stand 7 times with no luck…

where you guys hunting, i am thinking it might be good to wait a couple weeks until the acorns are sucked up

Anyone else having issues getting bear to there baits with all the acorns and berries ?

We have had only 2 hits on our 4 stations over the last week and half, alot of acorns on the ground

I have owned 2 castles and I have looked at all other brands and to get the most bang for your $$$$$ice castle will beat all other brands. My buddy spent more on his Yetti and has had a lot more issues than my castle, granted the majority of the issues a minor or can be taken care off with out much effort and by taking care of your stuff.. I personally went with a toy hauler mode to use year round camping,fishing, family vacations etc..

I was out Saturday by pigs eye and out again on Sunday by the ford dam and we got skunked tried everything and depth, I saw one fish caught between both days, current was ripping and the temp was 41-42 degrees.. I will probably wait to get back out once the current slows a little

Anybody headed out today ? Looking to get out today

The wind was a killer !!!! Cold and hard to control the boat

Also if anyone needs a fishing partner i am game anytime, shoot me text 612-308-2446, i live in richfield and could go out during the week also !!!

What size jig would you guys recommend, i am new to river fishing and looking to get out and try it. Was out on pool 4 last saturday and we did not catch a single fish, any help would be greatly appreciated..
