    Floatation ice fishing suits

    So I see some places are already discounting some ice gear and I got to thinking. Does anyone have experience with the suits actually in the water? What I'm getting at is do you really need both the bibs and the coat to keep a non swimmer up? I could see that maybe bibs alone maybe wouldn't be...

    I need a seasickness solution

    So I was on Sak recently and once again the waves came up a little and I got green around the gills again. Waves weren't like it was time to get off the water or anything but I'm usually not too bad till I look down in the boat to tie a different rig on then I'm done. Came off the water and my...

    Boat camping?

    So for several years now I have told myself that I'm going to pull an all nighter and sleep out in the boat. I have watched many youtube videos about how great the walleye fishing is after dark and has always wanted to try it. I'm not a tall guy so there a couple spots on the floor I could...

    Ever been shocked by Your grahite rod?

    Sunday morning the wife and I put the boat in. Light showers passing thru but not too bad. No sooner rolled the boat into the water and a pretty hard lightning bolt went off. I tied the boat to the dock and we sat in the vehicle in the parking lot for awhile. 15 mins or so with not other strikes...

    Keeping minnows more than 1 day

    What do most of You do to keep minnows alive multiple days while camping and boat fishing. Its a pain in the ass to keep them alive at camp when the boat is out of the water. When its possible to camp on the shoreline I keep them in a bucket in the water. But its not always possible when your...

    Long range rifle targets

    So for several years now I have had hanging metal targets by the house that my family shoot the pistols at with much enjoyment. For years I have wanted to get a long range setup for rifle shooting set up but just have not got it done. Last weekend I finally did. I set them in 100 yard increments...

    Lowrance Fish Reveal

    So I pretty much had my mind made up to get a humminbird mega 9 in the spring after hopefully a price drop. Then today was the first time I seen an ad for Lowrance with the Fish reveal update. My lowrance is too old for the update but it comes free for the Carbon, Gen3 and Elite Ti. I dont know...

    Which transducer do you like for vexilar

    I'm thinking about a FL-18. Should i get a 12 degree or a proview? Seems like the proview is about $100 more, is it worth it? Is the Tri-beam the same thing as the proview?

    BaitCloud

    Has anyone seen the videos of this product on facebook? Not sure i would ever try it in open water situations but i think it would be real interesting to try below an ice house. If it would just keep the fish that normally cruise on thru around a little extra longer it might be worth it.

    Drift socks

    Looking at getting a drift sock. Never fished with one. Any brands better than others? Also do i really need to spend the extra $25 for the float harness? Couldn't I just put some kind of float onto the webbing of the harness itself, attach a quick connect caribiner to the very end of the float...

    Planer Boards

    When I'm fishing for walleye, most the time I'm either using bottom bouncers or jigging. When watching fishing shows I sometimes see them using planer boards. In some situations like spring fishing when fish are up pretty shallow I could see where the boat could possibly spook fish when it goes...

    Another run on ammo?

    So I've been dragging my feet on restocking some reloading powder and bullets, primers. Do you guys think when our fearless leader announces his new gun control directives in a week or so it will cause another run on ammo and reloading supplies?

    Fanduel

    Does anyone else think fanduel is getting harder to win than it has been in the past? I mostly play $2 and $5 50/50s or double ups. Last year went really well and i won 8 out of 10 contests i entered. This year i seemed to only win alittle over 50% of the contests i have entered. I really dont...
