Yes a rope is needed but if for some reason I threw it over without one I wouldn't care unlike the last good anchor I bought that got stuck in the trees in the red that I never got back.
I have prime but only use it for movies. Seems like every movie I want to watch it costs me an extra 5 dollars to watch. I'm not a big fan of it but I have no input on TV shows.
This is the main reason. I think they are both great hobbies. I can't sit my ass on a chair all day and watch TV but I can sit in a chair and fish or hunt all day. I like the fresh air. Even days I stay at home I'm outside most of it.
I will throw them out the door till dead then into the house on the ice. I've had more than one fish flop back into the hole after being put on the ice.
Happy new year. I'm sitting on the couch eating pizza rolls kids fell asleep about an hour ago. I'm going to be in bed in a couple min. Got to get up and see if the perch bite is still good tomorrow.
