    Done For The Year?

    How many people are done open water fishing for the year? School is back in session and I've seen numerous people talking about how their season is done for, until next year. I know things can get busy this time of year. Are you still fishing, or done with hard water until next year?

    Prayers up for this situation.

    Why are bottom bouncers ...

    Why are bottom bouncers frowned upon? I never did understand this. I had heard, and not sure if this is true, that back when only a few tournament guys knew about the slow death hooks, that they were cleaning up pulling bouncers. Now, you are almost shunned if you tell certain folks that you...

    New boat companies

    I can't remember a time where so many new boat companies were popping up. In the walleye boats that is. Typically when I see a new company join the ranks, I assume they are not worth the investment. They haven't proven themselves yet. These new boats look incredible though. Caymas, Vexus...

    Everything is JUNK!

    I cannot believe the quality of products nowadays. Things used to be built to last. There was some pride in it. Now, if you buy new, you expect there to be problems. I bought a new Ford F-250 and talk about problems. Bought a new boat a few years ago, and it was back to the dealer 3 times...

    Which is Your #1 Electronic?

    Which portion of your electronics is your MUST HAVE? If your graphs all went to crap, except somehow it was allowing one of the "aspects" to be shown, which would you use? 2D Sonar? Down Imaging? Side Imaging? Forward Facing Tech? 360? I think I would pick side imaging. Finding those fish...

    Fluoro or Mono Leader?

    When pitching jigs I run Suffix 832 or Power Pro for my main line, then tie on a 3 to 6 foot fluoro leader. I heard a podcast today suggest using a mono leader instead of a fluoro leader to give it a more whispy effect. Fluoro is abrasion resistant but I would say that is not terribly needed...

    Anyone drift sock anymore?

    Does anyone still use a drift sock? It wasn't very long ago that I remember seeing them all over and everywhere. Now I hardly ever see one hooked to a boat. I still use mine when drifting on a breezier day and when the conditions dictate it.

    The fish learn?

    I hear this all the time. “They’ve seen 1000 jigging raps by now” “They’ve had 100’s of cranks ran by them” “They won’t bite on that forever, they get smart to it” I think it’s all hooey but who knows. I think fish live strictly off of their instincts, but maybe I’m wrong. What is your opinion...

    Lures Catch Fishermen

    I was doing some lure shopping, and found myself wondering if some of the lures out there even catch fish. Or at least noticing how hard some stuff is marketed, whether it benefits me or not. My newest gripe is how hard some companies are pushing tungsten jigs for anything other than panfish...

    Boat Wet Yet?

    I was out this last weekend for one day. Caught a few on a Sakakawea bay. I'm guessing most guys are just getting going for the year. Have you gotten your boat wet yet? Any set date for when you will?

    Open water. Are you ready?

    I have been going through my rods/reels, reorganizing my tackle, then reorganizing it again, buying way more gear/tackle than I really need, looking through lake maps and dropping waypoints, and on and on. I have yet to get the boat out and wash it, though. That is on the short list, however...

    Favorite Braided Fishing Line

    It can be hard to decipher what line is best from the "fisherman" talking heads out there. Most are being paid to promote said product. So, out of curiosity, what is your favorite braid for each application? I mostly run power pro, because I trust it, but I am trying to find a braid that...

    Have you been out ice fishing yet?

    I made it out, over the holiday weekend. The fishing was pretty good, and the weather was too. I seem to get a kick out of that first ice fishing trip of the year. Now, time to log a few more outings. Have you been out yet? Going soon?

    Thanksgiving Feast!

    Anyone going big time? I have the smoker out and ready. It's going to be ribs, a roast, and probably a pile of chicken legs. The wife has a stack of pies already made, with more on the way! The Thanksgiving gluttony festival is always one of the best days of the year for our crew. What is...

    Ole Reliable, Ice Fishing Lure

    What is your go-to ice fishing lure? The one you use when the bite is tough, when nothing else is working, when you just need to out something, ANYTHING, topside. Mine is pretty simple, I typically go to a small jig and a minnow head.
