I don’t use it on the boat with our daughter. When I’m with the fam I want them to enjoy the time, not have me stare at a screen.
In the pop up ice fishing its different. It was fun to teach my daughter to read the screen and gave us something to do when it was slow.
If it’s slow on the boat we’re swimming or tubing.
It works great in shallow water, especially the scenario you are asking about. If I’m sitting in 15’ and casting up a break I can see exactly where and how the fish are relating to the break.
I think the biggest advantage of FFS is:
1) Finding fish in basins or big expansive flats.
2) Seeing and understanding how fish relate to structure.
The guys that are really good use it to dial in baits and presentation but I haven’t taken it that far. Frankly, I prefer to fish than stare at a screen so I mainly use mine ice fishing.
I’m glad you had a good experience. I don’t know the guy at all…like I mentioned, I don’t have a good reason for not liking him. Something about his demeanor that irks me for some reason. It’s a “get off my lawn” kinda thing I guess.
He’s obviously built a good business…there are a whole lotta YouTube guys vying for views and he’s getting them. I’ll give him credit for that.
The argument the central was good last is the same as saying the NFC north was the best in football football.
If all your teams get trounced in the playoffs it doesn’t matter.
We’re on spring break and I was chatting with a guy wearing a White Sox hat. I was gonna give him a hard time but I had to bite my tongue.
Yeah, Duke looks pretty good. It didn’t seem like they were working very hard to beat bama.
I’m rooting for a Duke-MSU title game.
Last summer I took my brother and his buddy on the river. They were about a 12 pack deep each and tried to KVD a few pound walleye and busted one of my JT’s…he’s like “I’ll pay for it…it’s probably like a hundred bucks, right?”
I told him “yeah, something like that. Just keep your money.”
Good rods have gotten very expensive.

JTX ML is my go to for plastics as well.I have 2 of them, great rods for sure. That said, I jave never heard anything bad about Elliot tods wither, just havent hand my hands on one yet
Lotta good rods in this category. Comes down the personal preference imho.
JTX ML is my go to for plastics as well.
Wow, what a crazy end to the Florida and Texas Tech game. Florida was all but dead and buried… big win for the Gators!!
Gotta make free throws down the stretch. Missing the front end of those 1 and 1’s killed TT.
Other than Boley using them I’ve heard good things. I don’t know why but I can’t stand that guy.
I don’t think that’s right…my buddy was down Thursday and the temps they found were 39-42. Every female they caught still had eggs and none of the males were milting. I’ve never heard of a spawn this early.
Matt, book says down stream from the mendota bridge. Gives a guy a little room to play with at least. If they stack up not far in it’s open and legal.
Yeah, just a short stretch there. It’s worth a shot. They’ll find baits in the dirty water. My guess is this year it’s a little cleaner with the lack of a runoff.
What a meek effort from the Twins.
Buxton is just terrible but Correa might be worse.
Matt, I’ve seen the old survey about that. With that said why not fish the legal areas in the Minnesota? Or because the water is so muddy you think they can’t even find the baits? I’d think if they run up it you’d be able to ambush a few as they are running up it? But then again they may have already moved up it a while ago.
I believe the Minnesota is all inland waters so you can’t fish it until opener.
You will ambush some fish on the way up but they don’t stack up and spawn in the Mississippi like they do up the Minnesota. I would guess they are moving now and in a couple weeks when the water warms and we get enough sunlight the spawn will start.
Another good batch of games last night. I’m really looking forward to Bama and Duke tonight.
Sad to see only one B10 team left. I didn’t realize the last time the B10 won the national championship was 2002 with MSU.
My guess is we are 2 weeks from the spawn. Seems to usually fall around the 10th of April. The males have moved up and are anticipating the females to be coming through.
You also have to remember a lot of the spawn happens up the Minnesota. So, while there will be some big females on the Mississippi side, many are not. You don’t get a big run to the dam on P2 like you do on pool 4.
Just got my Deftones tickets for August.

Deftones is probably one of the most underrated metal/rock bands of all time.
The Twins have become the least relevant pro team in Minnesota. The Perpetual mediocrity and ownership that does nothing to excite the fan base. Plus, the TV contracts are a mess so seeing them on TV is almost impossible.
We have a Ryobi…went with that option because of the batteries. The Ryobi works fine but you need to keep the blade very sharp. A mower works by lifting the grass and cutting. The Ryobi doesn’t spin fast enough to always lift the grass. But, it works well enough and seems like everyone in my neighborhood has one. Keep in mind this is S MPLS and the yards are very small.
I think the ego is a higher quality mower but we’ve been pretty happy with the ryobi.
One last point…check the warranty on the battery. Some are only a year. The ryobi is 3 years and we needed it once . Saved us $150.
Colorado state got screwed, that was a travel by Queen. But I liked how coach handled it in talking to the players after the loss and I’d say this is the best hire the gophers have made in years.
While I can’t sit here and make excuses for the gophers inability to make the tourney, I don’t think it’s exactly fair to compare them to Omaha. The thing that makes March madness so compelling is pitting small schools against large ones watching the upsets unfold, but don’t pretend that the path to the tournament for a Summit League team is comparable to the path for a Big Ten team. There were maybe 3 teams in the Summit this year that had a shot at winning that conference and getting the bid, and one of them was ineligible.
We’re comparing them to the University of Nebraska…not Nebraska at Omaha.
Year 3 is make or break for Rhule. He made a huge jump at Baylor and Temple in year 3 so we’ll see.
Hoiberg has been a surprising disappointment at Nebraska, given his success at Iowa State. But it seems like Nebraska has a knack for hiring the right guys on paper (Scott Frost, Matt Rhule, Tim Miles) and having it not work out for some reason.
Gophers signed Nico Medved, which sounds like a great hire for them given the state of things for Gopher B-Ball. Surely helped he is one of us, a U grad and started his coaching career in St. Paul at Macalester.
As for the Tourney, going to need everything to fall my way the rest of the way to land in the $. But I’m already + in the numbers board I’m in.
I wouldn’t throw Rhule in that category but the rest have been swings and misses. Hoiberg is a head scratcher.
The Huskers women made it…the men choked down the stretch and didn’t. A lot of people want to see Hoiberg gone. He hasn’t done much and has more money and better facilities than almost any school in the country.
That’s a bold statement no?
Why? The Huskers have spent hundreds of millions of their basketball facilities and Hoiberg can’t get a team to the tourney. They also have a massive NIL collective. They’ve underachieved with him as coach.
That was a big time shot by Queen on Maryland for the win. Very good game almost feel bad for Co. St.
But the Crab Five is moving on…
Just a great finish. Didn’t expect the big man to make a shot like that.
Colorado State just missed the big upset over Maryland.
Rumor has it the Gophers have the CSU coach tied up. I’d be all for that.
Thanks for posting. I really enjoyed watching them for a while on a rainy, snowy MN day when I’m stuck inside. While I’m not personally a fan of cold water immersion, they looked to be having fun.
I saw someone swimming in Lake Nokomis today. I know the cold water immersion is supposed to be very good for you but that looked miserable.
If you like Chester Bennington and linkin park, look at Grey dayz, it was his band when he was a teenager. Absolutely awesome sound. Chester was a amazing singer before he passed.
Grey Dayz is really good. Losing Chester sucks..Linkin Park is an all time favorite of mine.
I’m starting to come around to Linkin Parks new singer. I was shocked they brought in a female singer but I like her sound.
Clear, low flow means short bite windows and mostly a low light bite.
Need the water to dirty up a bit to get a better day bite. Warming water would help, too.
So, because you don’t understand their hobby they are idiots? As has been said before on this site…you need to watch your own bobber.
