    Rotary vise recs

    I have a stonfo elite as I wanted a true rotary. I have a couple of buddies who, after using mine, also went with the same vise and are happy with their choice. You will get lots of opinions, none of which are incorrect. Good luck with your new vise, whichever one you choose. Here is a good...

    Intermediate lines

    I have clear or camo intermediate lines from SA, Rio, and Airflo. They are all coily lines that are a pain in the ass to use. I hate all of them. I hear tales of intermediate lines that are a dream to fish with. I am very skeptical of those claims.

    Possible boat box at Costco

    I bought 4 last year for less than one comparable Yeti box. One year later, no issues, very strong, about the only complaint is the weight. Hard to get strong and light at the same time, so I will gladly live with the extra weight.

    Tidy whitey anchor rope?

    You can buy white rope, or rope that is already dyed in a myriad of colours, one of which is olive. Olive matches the colour of many of the weedy substances in the environment the fish live in, hence might be less of a trigger for scaring wary fish. Why do fish go under the boat and around the...

    Tidy whitey anchor rope?

    My anchor rope is very similar to this colour. I also use a high end sounder. Why not do everything you can to tilt the odds in your favour?

    SFR Aliens, Bigfoot, and other unexplained phenomena!

    The woods of north america are crawling with rifle toting deer hunters for two months every year. You would think one unlucky Squatch would poke his/her head out in front of a trigger happy deer hunter and boom, there is your evidence. Still waiting.

    Why Do You Troll?

    Lots of good reasons mentioned for trolling. One major downside on the lakes I fish. The fish are usually in 25-40 feet of water, and the biggest ones tend to be caught within 3 feet of the bottom. Yes the guys trolling often get more than me. The fish I catch tend to be bigger as I always...

    Official 2024 NFL Season Discussion

    Worst superbowl in years (unless you were an Eagles fan). Shut it off before the end of the 2nd Q. Mahomes push to replace Brady as the GOAT took a serious hit.

    Teach me to Fish Chironomids?

    In this case the fish are telling you they are interested but your bug, depth or retrieve is off a bit. I have found that downsizing often turns hesitant takes into solid takes.

    Teach me to Fish Chironomids?

    If you are not seeing fish with some regularity on your sounder, MOVE. It is hard to do well when you are parked in a dead zone. Once on fish, play with different chronies, different retrieves, and pay attention to what your sounder is telling you ( depth of fish). If they won't play where you...

    I am finishing up building an enclosed garage for my boat. Damn shopping cart bandits!

    Strange Day on the Lake

    I was also thinking along the scent line. I never have strong smelling foods like oranges or smelly soaps to wash my hands. The last thing I do before getting in my boat is give my hands a shoreline mud bath and rinse to neutralize any odours. It might not help but it sure can't hurt.
