bigugli Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 I know that we are in the middle of winter, but it won't be long before I'll be chasing spring pannies. Gotta rebuild my float supply. Bubba14, honeyv, boogaloo and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightfisher Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Are the caps on some of the bobbers for use if not using a bobber stopper ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a through line slip float. Just have some folks who like the extra indicator on top. knightfisher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the course of a year the family goes through 50-60. We fish a lot of tangled structure and timber. Especially for crappie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verado Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 I know the feeling. I look at my boat wrapped up in the garage and I am itching to go. Might have to buy a new one this year (in my dreams) as I see Mercury has introduced a new 12 cylinder 600 hp verado. A unique feature is that for steering, only the lower gearcase turns while the engine itself remains stationary. Makes sense, why turn that whole 800lb engine.

smerchly Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Back to ...... I "intended" to go yesterday but spent too much time clearing snow from 2 vehicles & my boat , sidewalk & driveway . Then it began snowing again ! And it was snowing when I arose today at 8 a.m. .....did the routine again ! Very cold again tonight ( 8*Frigid now) . I (had) a date at the hospital tomorrow after lunch for a routine ultra sound on the neck but decided to cancel . (covid related). After several calls I couldn't get through ....enough time wasted ! They can bump up the others in wait . I hope to be fishing tomorrow ( weather be nice) Feeling much better the past week as I chucked my last 100 statin pills .....read a lot about them & the bad side effects . The van is all loaded up except for the live minnows . My maggots bit the dust , must be too cold for them in the sun room which drops to 60*F on cold nights. They turn black after they die ....maybe useful for black crappies ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genec Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 I tried the northern section of the rec canal this morning. Nothing, not even a nibble, and no marks on the sonar either in 2 hours. And the snow was a female dog; I should have got my collapsible ski base out for my hut! smerchly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba14 Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Spring-like conditions for three days next week, 4 and 5 degrees with rain, should knock the snow down a bit. Then freezing up again after that. honeyv and smerchly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 I hope it won't be too sloppy on the ice . I like fishing when it's mild ....no hut needed , but I wear the rubber (insulated) boots . I was all set to take the hut out today , but 65 K winds do not appeal to me , fighting to get the hut set up ,etc. Winter has been a "blast" so far ! I haven't seen snow banks so high in many years ! Two months+ to go ! honeyv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
