Tech, changes and its hard to quickly change with it. Remember Kodak? They were huge, killed by digital, they sold film, chemicals, photo paper, slides, etc.
Funny thing is they invented digital photography and they could not even keep up with the tech they invented!
Wow-dang
Amazing how much stuff can change year to year.
Anytime I fish a toppie I know their is a bout a 90% chance something else like a jig will catch more fish, but I put it on because the strike is a blast & you have a shot at a big fish, probably how you feel about frog lures. Happy Turkey Day.
Good to have one with a reel-using it is not always the best use of time if you like actually catching fish-watching those buggers can be addicting.
Bass are still biting.
42 degrees in central Mn.
Were you in the dark bays? Clearwater fish are probably relating to weeds.
At least you caught some peace & quiet, rarity out there. Nice greenie. Keep looking I will be out tomorrow-might be hard to get out after this weekend. I would also be tempted to spend a little time casting for Walter out there too. Good lucK!
Assuming installation was done right, factory settings area a good starting point-setting were determined and tested in the field by fisherman. After you get things figured out make adjustments.
So for me if I find fish and want to vertically jig I might crank up the sensitivity, I know the fish are there, I know the bottom is soft, I turn it up to see my lure and the fish.
Public acceses are often owned by local towns or counties-would be nice if these local enteties had communication with the DNR and that they would communicate with us! Do they have to check with the DNR B4 they put something in? My guess is yes-so then the DNR should post this on LAKEfinder. The other thing that happens is the launch will close for weeks or months for whatever good reason and you don’t find out ’till you have made a plan for that lake and have driven miles to get there.
To your question about the docks: Not sure how you can find out(if it is still in), again poor communication. Consider this: some lakes have permanent docks-Yes they cost more, BUT you do not have to pay people to put them in or take them out-So, are they really more expensive?
Anyway, I’m still out there but I will not dip my naked feet in that water, get some knee high boots and keep fishing.
Brushless for the auger, otherwise brush Black & Decker drill for around the house. I drill less than 50 holes a year! Sure many on this site will have 50 by noon today.
No bananas
I usually fish a lake clockwise, north being noon.
Can’t get a deer? Please come to my neighborhood and shoot some rabbits.
What is the CW best for? Hook is biggish for pannies. Mostly a Walter thing?
DONE!
Got about 20 Smbs in 3-4 fow on a stick bait. Slow and steady worked better than pumps pauses or twitches. Fun day, lake is not known as a lake with good #s of the brown guys.
Have heard great things about Osakis.
Read about a pro who won a whole tourney on one small section of one wing dam.
Much bureaucracy
Little common sense
Good luck.
I love buying cranks, every year I say I have enough, every year i buy more.
Oooookaaaay Matt. ok,ok
That’s a dog with some character!
Sorry for your loss
Hitting spinners now too, even big stuff-just getting fun G!
So sad, you feel helpless in part because they can’t talk.Good luck
Great until its not, where are you when it gives you a problem? Are you in a area with no cell service? Commercial fisherman who work miles offshore use mostly Yamaha. Life is too short to gamble on technology that not only has to bring you to fish but also has to bring you home.
The dealer that sold me my Yamaha also at the time sold E-techs, you could not GIVE one to any mechanic in that shop.
Guy on this site was out there for grouse, flushed some but just wasn’t feeling it as they say. Fall is too short.
At least in July you can go super early, now if you do you are in the dark,
Great catch for a few hours.
Hydro-where does the camera beat the FFS? I’m guessing weeds
I don’t hunt and I hate this heat too. REAL fall is way too short.
