So why is it more detrimental to muskies if I catch one using FFS vs Muskie guys I know that sight fish them in the shallows? They can see them better than my Livescope does. 99 times out of 100 they don’t catch it. It may follow and get them all excited but they still don’t catch it. Bottom line is YOU CAN’T MAKE THEM BITE even with FFS! If you want to fish them Old School then more power to you! I don’t fish Muskies but I shouldn’t be told how not to either!!! I’ve only caught one muskie in my life and it was by accident. It was a 36 in on a <strong class=”ido-tag-strong”>crappie rod on Fish Trap Lake in shallow water! It wasn’t that big of a deal for me although I did get a nice pic!

100 PERCENT accurate ! I used to muskie fish a lot across northern wis and canada I have FFS now . I see them swim into view while walleye / panfishing . I have on several occasions tried to see if they would bite. It was a no go , they would come and investigate and cruise of out of the picture. Maybe had a sucker down there it would be a different story. Guys like Bob Mehsikomer have caught 50 muskies 50 inches or better and not one was caught on FFS . Over 500 muskie over 30 lbs came out of Wabigoon Before ffs was even thought of . Got taxidermist buddy who boated 3 50 inch muskies in 1 night on Vermillion years ago with a guide and no FFS . I caught muskies without it . Most of the fish i caught were so shallow i would not find them with FFS in perspective mode . It was just a lot of fan casting and time on the water . Guess people think the worst of everyone when it comes to fishing ?

There are some who have mastered side imagining and 2d and do the same thing catch wise as FFS. Remember 2d/ down imaging/side imaging/and FFS all use the same signal .

Hope they do well

Going forward sure be nice to be able buy a cans for my rifles/shotguns and handguns without all the hassle. Its a matter of preserving what little hearing many of us have left .

If only the tinnitus would allow it . At least i did not commit suicide like the doc said so many people like me do . Life is good even if i can,t hear it . Beats the alternative !

Anyone fish the new Kalins Search bait . You tubers make it look appealing . I picked up 3 of them for this spring , somewhat pricey tungsten .

yes i bought some also,everything tungsten is pricey. also try the finisher jigs from berkley, they are not tungsten but they really catch fish

Also picked up some Finshers late last year , have not used them yet .

I treat mine with Bio Tech bacteria monthly, mound system was plugging up with bio matt . 2002 Install of septic . Also the freezing is real , i covered my mound with 2 inch dow this year , lack of snow

There are braids out there that claim to help prevent wind knots . Some are saying its how the braid is made and the stiffness of the braid itself . I run 832 and once saturated it has no body whatso ever . Just ordered some X braid 8 to try . They claim the weaving process is so that the angles its woven create a stiffer line . We shall see . I know exactly what your talking about the limp braid wrapping around the rod tip . Also bought Suffix Revolve made from IZANAS fibers supposed to have more body to help eliminate wind knots

I switched all mine to Lure Lock boxes, the sticky ones with no dividers. Seems like the most space efficient way to jam the most in with minimal tangling. They aren’t perfect but I spend a lot less time untangling hooks than I used to.

Bought the whole rack of thin boxes in the hauler ! Like you said not perfect . But heads above anything i have used to date . Bought the open boxes no dividers works awesome !

Wack job anarchists ! Many similarities with other cult groups !

Lost my mom at 52 brain cancer dad at 58 lung cancer . Its a rotten way to go for alzheimer’s had an aunt go that way . Her son was fit to be tied at the end . No 1 take care of yourself first .

A do over ? We get no such thing . We hopefully learn something as we go along in life . All we have is today, yesterday is gone ,tomorrow is not here . Live for today that’s all we have .

Established facts its here , even if contained . Is anyone addressing the source ? Ships dumping ballast water coming through the Great Lakes ? Who is inspecting them ?

It’s so annoying how bad the service is down here.

Nice try, but as everyone knows,bthe slave laborors don’t have cell phones. That’s why nobody knows about the secret mines except for a select few who have discovered the truth and are trying to get the word out to the ignorant masses.

Maybe you have been sprayed by a chemtrail plane?

Visit Bonneville salt flats the earths curvature is quite visible. Maybe these guys would have to eat their words trying to explain that . LOL

Maybe when America takes over Gaza to build a bigly beautiful Gaza Riviera things will be hugly greatly better than no one has ever seen before ? We are screwed !

Someone im sure would take them off your hands , my dad was a master pack ratter ! Square nuts are pricey i use them on my 1957 Ford tractor with Half Tracks . One mans junk is another mans gold ! Unless they are on there way to the landfill ?

What does a tariff do ? Will it lower the price of goods ? No it will not! People have short memories anyone recall the soybean trade war with China trump initiated ? That cost US taxpayers 28 billion dollars ! We lost ! China said fine we will deal with other countries then ! They did and we were left holding the empty bag ! Trump ran on getting cost down ? Nothing he has done yet is doing that ? He is spending money sure enough , 10 grand a pop just to find an undocumented laborer ! Stock market plunges on news of tariffs ? He promised the land of milk and honey . Now he says it will be painful ?? Will voters knuckle under and accept his concept that things will have to get worse before they get better ? He inherited a stock market that was at an all time high! Let’s not forget trump emphatically stated the stock market would crash if Biden was elected LOL It ended at an ALL TIME HIGH under Biden /Harris But he has a concept ??? Guess his words are not to be taken seriously ? Like when asked how he would get skyrocketing rent under control ? His answer quote “Drill baby drill ” WTF ?? Denial is not a river in Egypt !

Stating Canada should be the next US state ? That we can buy Greenland ? That we will take Panama ?? Rename Gulf of Mexico ? What has that got to do with his campaign promises to end the war in Ukraine on Day one ? To lower grocery prices ? He has gutted the FAA on day one , forbid the CDC experts from communicating with The World Health Organization ? Putting tariffs on an ally like Canada ? Tariffs will only lead to higher cost for the consumer . When trump was asked how he would lower crazy high rent , he said drill baby drill ???? WTF The next 4 years is going to be a real poop show , get the popcorn and hope he does not accidently get us into a war !

Interestingly enough i was informed by our own deer ecologist in Northern Wisconsin in the year 2000 , at of all places a turkey seminar ? At the end of the presentation he piped up and asked the audience if they had any deer management questions ? I asked are you concerned about CWD in Wisconsin . He said and quote “I would be more concerned about eating a British Slim Jim , than CWD ” Everyone laughed ? The he went on to say “If it shows up in Wisconsin , it will be in the southern part of the state and we will have to kill everydeer in the endemic area ” Wow wow wow a full year before it was officially made public that CWD was in wisconsin ??? Then the poop show started false positive tests false negative test etc Then the experts, biologist arguing with each other One claiming this the other claiming that ! It continues to this day Who do you believe ??? After all the research done , i don’t know anymore about it now then when i first heard of it !

ocoopa hand warmers on Amazon , had them for several years about 40 bucks a piece i love them !

For me its a no brainer LOL Why would i go back to staring at my Vexilar ? Do i focus more on my LVS 34 and 32 most definitely ? Why is that ? Simple its much more interesting and educational . When i can watch muskies chasing crappies or big walleyes cruising through is worth the time to watch ! Why would i want to use inferior equipment anyway ? Not me ! If 2.0 comes out i would be thinking of a upgrade for sure !

Butt hurt over FFS ? LOL How about catch and release only then , lets ban any sonar 2d down or side and GPS ? Maybe no power motors gas or electric ? Row row your boat ??? Lol Ridiculous bans are the downward spiral. Why would anyone want to go backwards and use inferior equipment ? Certainly not me . Fisheries are regulated by bag limits . Where i fish many bodies have reduced bag limits already . They also have size requirements . Unless people do not trust the people making those decisions ? Why would anyone willing want to go backwards and use inferior equipment , not me .

Somebody call the cops , there killing them !

Being close to 68 i do get flu vaccine . Worked with a guy whose wife was a nurse . For some reason he would never get a flu shot ? He would come to work sicker than a dog , nice ! Then pass his germs around to everyone getting a lot of the crew sick ! I was vacced and did not . I ll take that jab anyday to hopfully prevent that god awful sickness . Been doing it my whole life and never grew any extra parts LOL

But Rodgers had 4 touchdowns LOL
