wondering why none of my photos are uploading…update. Wrong format
Good burn out tire for sure.
Burnouts are welcome to buy it, too. I dont discriminate.
Will it fit on my pick-up?
It has an 8’ bed.
If your truck is a Corolla or Prism…
They are assembled. The legs break down on 3 secttions as viewed in photo. They were used this last season and removed yesterday. Very easy disassembly if desired
Mud, I’m glad that you guys were in the right place at the right time. That man forever owes you a debt of gratitude.
As for lifejackets, it blows my mind how many people don’t wear them. I’m in shape and can swim very well, but I always have one on.
For those that don’t think they need one, I challenge you to jump off the boat fully clothed with foot wear on. After about 4 seconds the thought of a PFD will seem like the best idea in the world to you.
Anyone in my boat is required to have one on (I provide an inflatable if they don’t have one of their own). Everyone will make it home, it’s as simple as that.

Up near Milltown WisconsinMud, I grew up in the area and lived there for 25 years. You from there? What lake was it on?
No, I’m doing a framing job up there. Bone Lake
I look at kids today and how it’s so ingrained in them to put on a helmet before stepping foot on their bike or scooter. They will feel naked biking without a helmet as adults. Here’s to hoping that same thing will happen to this generation with PFDs as well. It will feel so unnatural to be out there without one that they will never do it.
You need to be wearing one anytime out alone but especially in cooler weather, especially on a Monday morning with no one else out on the lake or sitting outside within earshot. Especially when you are old enough to have grandkids. Just so many reasons.
I imagine you are all shook up, too. A moment you will never forget I’m sure. Bet he sends a Christmas card this year.
Yes, it was definitely a little emotional, i wont lie. A big thanks goes to the guy with me. We both headed out to him. He took a life jacket out and tossed it to him and held onto him. I took off for the boat. All we had were a couple of kayaks! Thats all we could grab right away from a neighbors place. Like i said, im just glad hes alive for his family. Im no hero. Id do it all over again without question. Years ago, ill never forget a pair of fisherman stuck out in a storm on the lake. Couldnt get their motor started. My dad didnt thi k twice and went out and towed them in with his 14 foot boat. They wanted to pay my dad for our cabin and he refused. He said the only payment i want is that you do the same for someone else in need. It really stuck with me and taught me what he valued. I never forgot it. If anything today was my turn to help do that for someone and to share the reminder that we’re not immune to trouble. It can happen to any of us. Thanks Dad!you’d be proud.
Stay safe!
Robby,Im just glad God put us there this morning. I wasnt supposed to be there today. Its all for him. None for me. We took turns stopping in to check on him until ems came. It hit me when i saw his fence outside the cabin. All the names of his grandkids…today was his lucky day. I just happened to be a part of it. So grateful he is topside!
He said he pointed the boat to go away from shore so he could have time toland his fish. It was too big for his net, i believe he leaned over the stern and was in the water. Happened so quick. Lost his pole, net and fish but not his life! For that im very thankful.
I was kind of surprised at them pulling out of St Paul. I’ve lived near there pretty much my whole life. Yes it’s gone through a lot of changes, but nothing out of the ordinary. All the riots happened in Minneapolis. That place is always full for Wild games… It must be due to not enough vendors and that was an out(crime)
No doubt it sold quick. That looked like it was a nice unit. I was just going to inquire about it, too.
Rosemount tool does saw blade sharpening and they’ll repair teeth if they’re broken off. I don’t have a number to him, but you can just Google it. They’re down in Rosemount Minnesota
Haha, that’s brutal! My favorite is the YouTube video of the construction site guy where they pick it up with the crane with the guy in it and he comes out all nasty! Someone got fired that day
By the Prescott boat launch. I went to see my chiropractor there downtown and then just took a swing through checking out the boat launch.
Big Crappie,
Not a good idea. All that water weight plus people, not to mention the structure that needs to be designed in, to resisit the lateral loads. Its way more involved than just a beefier joist. Best when the deck is built around the hot tub.
I caught them this color in late October on pool 2. Always wondered why they were this color.

I’m no expert but I starting fishing pool 4 10 years ago and this winter by far has been the slowest I’ve ever seen and it isn’t even close maybe the scour hole victims are catching up with the fishery very strangeIf there is not a person who has not seen a slow down in the catch rate of walleye, sauger, crappie, and bluegill on the river from 10 years ago, to the past 3 years(4) raise their hands. Ask any warden on the river. Those of you who have not seen how it was 5, 10, 15, and on years ago,you have not seen the good fishing on the river. How is that striper population going on pool 4? Gone also. I don’t have any idea what’s happening and I may be way off? I think the river is not holding the fish it did in the past?

I wouldn’t think that the excellent fishing could be sustained for 5-15 years with the constant pressure. Probably a lot of factors. Maybe the fish are just tired of our sh!# and aren’t being cooperative no matter how hard we try. Haha.
Then again maybe they just moved away and found a new playground.
I used a camera this winter for the first time, and it was interesting to see a lot of fish but they just wouldn’t bite. They would come and sniff it and be like “yeah, minnows again…NOPE for you buddy!” It was fun to see them though.
“I’m just a everyday fisherman not a professional like you guys that know everything so the amount of fish that come out of the hole that died is minimal to the fish that everybody’s keeping down there full of eggs that they are killing but you guys are not crying about that”
You forgot this to go with your post…
