I guess that is the price we pay for SPOILING our children and Grandkids! These generations feel they are ENTITLED to do anything they want at everyone's expense!

I didn't have a problem with them swimming! I was even going to let him tie up to our dock if they like. I just don't want to retrieve the buoy from across the lake or worse yet break the cable!

These wake boats are getting out of control! Most of them have no respect for anyone! I have taken water several times this year in my 20 ft. Ranger. This last week I was down at our dock cleaning up my boat and I noticed a wake boat with 5 young people tie up to our buoy , while they were swimming. I kindly asked the young man what he was doing and he replied that he had tied up several times to that buoy. I informed him that there are several trees to tie up to or use a anchor. His reply was, I'll be gone in 30 minutes! I informed him "or less"! I don't think these young people realize that you don't want to pi$$ off a OLD guy! Just as they were about to leave, I waved them over to have a chat with the young man. Needless to say he didn't come over to see me. Probably for the best as I might have lost my christian attitude and regretted it later.

Great advice Bill! I'm sure working for Marcus Sykora, he has a great mentor and a great tournament fisherman. I think Marcus just might send him in the right direction. It's a tough game without a few sponsors!

Thanks for the awesome report! Good luck in the next chapter ( I think you should have bought the boat first) of your life! Marcus is quite the stick! Does he include fishing seminars as well as job training?

My Grandson lives in Wisconsin and wants me to go there next May. Them 4 lbers will be over 5 full of eggs!

Yes and yes! None will match size of the Jaws in the big waters. You just have to play the weather or you can't get out.

This is my favorite! https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Duckett_Jacob_Wheeler_Series_Spinning_Rods/descpage-DJWI.html

Check out MLF live this week. The guys are fishing Sturgeon Bay and most are really wacking them! I would take a look at Sturgeon Bay as well as Mille Lacs in Minnesota. They are both amazing fisheries!

I don't think they were biting today. Fished for 2 hour this A.M. and never had a bite.

Sorry Bill! Look at the bright side! Now the rest of don't feel quite as bad knowing that everyone struggles sometime! That's what drives us! If we caught them every time, we would lose interest real quick.

Check the reviews! Not the Shimano quality of old!

Not to mention the HEAT!

Thank You for your help with our economic recovery! I have been doing my part as well. I have collected lures most of my life. I just tell my wife that all those pre rapala warts are our IRA!

The little rig + clear water = a happy girl!

Well rainmaker, I sure hope you're catching some fish! Some good has to come out of all this rain! What day are you leaving? Just asking for a friend!

OK! How much to get you to go?????

You left out the beloved Ned rig?????

I'll take her! She usually catches more fish than you or me! Plus she is a breath of fresh air!!!

Might be cheaper to send Vernon back to Kansas!

Is that the same day I tried to switch fishing partners?

Poor Vernon! I certainly hope he can stay another week! It's finally going to quit raining by Monday.

You are soooo blessed! She still wants to hang with Dad! Those memories are forever! Plus she can catch fish too! She's beautiful in sooo many ways!

It's going to be much better Wed and Thur!
