    What's a "Jumbo Perch"

    I thought pics might be useful for this thread. There are 8 "Jumbos" in this pic according to my standards. A size comparison......................

    Spearing Decoys

    I considered making my own decoys a time or two and I found some AWESOME youtube vids on how to do it. Some from rookies like myself and others from professionals that will blow your mind with the detailed masterpieces they make. Gators aren't that smart, so in reality, anything that is...

    What's a "Jumbo Perch"

    Some friends and I had a discussion about what it takes for a perch to be labeled a "Jumbo". I have been asked about Jumbo perch many times and to this day I'm not real sure what that means. I myself think that any perch that is 12 inches or longer is a Jumbo. However, the requirements vary...

    Worst Day On the Water?

    Chartered a 45 ft vessel for a day with my wife, daughter, sister in law, niece, and nephew as none of them had ever been deep sea fishing. Cost me 1800 bucks to get the whole boat, but it was a special treat. The wind was such that the exhaust from the engines kept swirling back into the...

    Soft water is started

    Until the shovel disappears or someone forgets to refill the rock salt. The tailrace fish cleaning station seems to gets trashed all the time, so the possibility for mischief is very real down there. I would prefer a more permanent solution, but it really makes no difference to me. I don't...

    Soft water is started

    Flat steel 2 inches wide with solid rings every 4 inches to attach chain to. Make the chains about a foot long so what you roll up or put together is the flat steel and the chains come with. Make'em in 4 ft sections and a bit wider than the ramp. A guy should be able to heft one section or he...

    Jamestown/VC area ice

    Around the VC area the ice is 36+ inches thick and hard as a rock. The issue is the snow. We have hard crusted snow drifts covered by powdery snow drifts. If you can get on the lake, you will need 4WD all the way and if you don't watch yourself you will end up on a drift with your truck high...

    Soft water is started

    Never will understand why you tailrace guys don't invest in a roll of chains that you can put down in the spring when this ice crap is a problem and then roll it back up when it's not needed. Seems you fight this ice every spring and every fall. Twould be a good agenda item for the G&F to...

    Lake/Ice Access

    Lake access is hit and miss. Hobart access was plowed, but the lake was covered in deep snow. Moon access was snowed in. Hit my perch spot and the access was blown in, but I blasted through. The rest of the lake was deep snow, but I smashed through the drifts with my 3/4 ton dodge going...

    HB 5087 will your gun make the cut

    Them damn "Deplorables" are at it again. Speaking with actions instead of words. NOTHING scares politicians more than good and decent people taking action to show what they believe in.

    HB 5087 will your gun make the cut

    Not even going to check as it doesn't matter. To think that pronouncing an inanimate object illegal will somehow prevent it's use by criminals is ludicrous. Regardless of what these fear mongers declare is illegal, the evil actions by evil people WILL continue. Gun control laws do absolutely...

    Protecting Schools

    The more folks there are protecting the kids the better IMO. The teachers, if they want, can be armed and seal up the classroom until LE arrives to get them out while the resource officer engages the threat outside the classroom. I can get behind that. As far as dealing with the kid...

    what are these guys fishing for???

    Guy Far Left: "Which one of these do you want to lean on for the next hour or so?" Guy in Blue Hat: "Pfft, I'm going to go sit on the sled." Guy in Orange Hat: "Where's that ON button again and what do these hoses do?" Guy in Black Hat: "Oh Crap!!! I can't pee here with that damn drone...

    Protecting Schools

    My two cents on this issue are these. Teachers have enough to deal with IMO. From what I've seen, these "Resource Officers" are woefully inept at doing what they are supposed to do, which is protect the students. A resource officer is NOT there to be a friend to the students. They are NOT...
