I know last year there was a Monday tournament out of knob. I may do some of those. Little farther drive on a section of lake i do not ever fish but at least its somthing to do for fun... Hope that Wed. cape tournament get a regatta permit for the 2nd. Be a shame if they got shut down

Paul, i would love if we could get someone to host a mid week tournament, but that might be the issue finding someone available, im usually only good for every other week.

Well i just got a message saying for the Wed. Cape tournament this summer you have to have one person 55 or older to compete. They only had 6-12 boats total begin with. Usually there were 3-5 boats of younger guys I guess i took to much of their money last year

Havent been out in a month which is odd for me. But i wanted to go run the boat. Not much of a fishing report but i put in at Cape, Parking lot was full at the marina launch. Nice clear 41 degrees on the Garmin. Tried for some crappie for a minute but got bored. Headed to Bridgeport and was greeted with that beautiful James river Blueish green and 39 degree water, very clear. Dead Calm when i arrived, 20 min later white capping. only was there two hours, hate letting my boat sit more that a couple weeks without running it. Ive always lived by the saying " used boats are reliable boats".

If your paranoid to the point you actually sleep with a gun you need to evaluate your living situation.

MH Duckett Micro magic is my go to for cranking. Not sure why, i have other rods that are much more $. But this one is by far my fav.

i drove all over today around springfield and never saw a slick spot until i got to my neighborhood, its all new pavement...not sure if that matter but i got the 4 wheeler out and busted a few awd donuts. IT is a solid sheet of ice, i couldnt even move in 2wd. looking forward to tomorrow. my 6 year old has never really saw more than 4 inces of snow. We are blowing up the boat tube to pull behind the 4 wheeler in grandpas field

Nice work man. And i i remember right you sold your livescope. Those are some good ones. Makes me jealous. Ive been off the last 2 nice days but my sleep scheule is so wrecked from working so many nights that i didnt get out. been waking up randomly at 1-2 in the morning and am ready for bed again at noon.....As a sleep registered sleep specialist i recommend never working nights ever, it ruins you

well, once i flashed my 75, i did have to get a bigger prop. but i tried different trophys, lasers, had some worked over by john hot props. And john let me try out 3-4 other props too. I did finally found one i liked the best, but once i got close to the right pitch they were all within 1-3mph of each other. i wasted a lot of money on a boat that was never designed to be fast...but i will say i could fly by all the other bass tracker 175's like they were sitting still......still not worth it. My boat boat i have now has a 150 and its a heavy rig, i have a couple different props that work from my tracker but the one that came on it from the factory is the one that works the best.

I played around a ton with them on my tracker with a 75 opti. Had it flashed to a 115. Tried all kinds of props threw tons of money at it for a couple mph

Agreed i had a laser on my old aluminum boat and it sucked until i had a "prop scientist" modify it. Thats a wrench term. It worked well on that boat after that but it wasnt a planing hull either. I tried a couple props on my boat now and realized it isnt worth chasing a couple MPH. i should have listened to the wrench. He might be controversial but he knows his stuff.

I actually just looked at mine and the 23 is the one im using, for some reason i though i had my 21 on it. So im keeping it for now. If he liked the laser he would probably like the tempest more. I tried a laser before and it was such a flat running prop, no lift and no speed

If he Wants a 3 blade tempest i have a 23 i would sell, or let him try if he is local (Table Rock ish). Like fshndoug said though what boat/motor is he running.. Just be sure to ask what prop he tried and liked, if it was a 3 blade it was most likely a tempest, trophys are all 4 blade

Its all kinda relative, back when DI and SI came out im sure everyone said the same thing Now you cant hardly by a new unit without those. And with all the pressure on the lakes now its hard to sit over the top of a school with 2D and pull them straight up, they tend to stay out from under boats more and more. gotta cast to them now. gotta get onboard with the future. Cant wait to see how the EV hummer pulls the boat....................j/k

All trophys are 4 blades, he probably wants a tempest

Enough with all the political threads. Anyone on here that actually fishes tried out the color limit update. Looks promising. Being able to crank up the gain and use the color limit to filter out the fuzz.

I recommend going to the bar in your college years and networking. Its really about who you know. Meet as many people as you can

very mild for us, nothing to cause a fuss, thank you guys for the good words. I did get to miss out of driving to Springfield Illinois because of this so not all is bad

Well i spoke to soon on a post last week wondering how i havent caught it yet traveling through hospitals. We were suppose to go to my parents and my 6 year old had a fever the day before so i gave him a test because i really dont want my dad to catch this. 6 year old was positive, We all showed symptoms but didnt really get us down. We even went fishing one day. Im fully vaccinated and boosted because i want i dont have a choice if i want my family to eat. Little boy had a slight fever one day and has been balls to the wall since. His mom has what i would call a cold, she has had 2 shots and no booster.

Ill try to make it this year, With my job doing a semi elective type hospital service (sleep Studies) it has been hit and miss, This winter I am just taking the nights when i get them. The virus puts a damper on stuff like sleep studies

I used to have a Dodge Dually with Semi Wheels and tires, i ran with the rears at 15 PSI otherwise it was not a fun ride, still wasnt a good ride but it looked cool

Nope, i did find out the that there is a sensor in the spare too, and if it gets low it triggers the light too. Its an older car so it just has a tire pressure warning and doesnt tell which tire it is

I put some nice wheels on our Lexus and since they were a two piece wheel with the valve in a very odd place they told us they couldn't put the tire sensors in them(im sure they could have figured it out for the right price) anyway, i got the wheel sensors had them programmed to the car and glues up some PVC pipe and put a schrader valve in it, threw the sensors in and pressurized it and threw it in the trunk, been 8 months now with no anooying lights

Caught a limit of pathetic crappie. Are there any size in this lake, i dont fish there often. The 10"ers. compared to the 10"ers at Bull are laughable. Crappie are thick on timber in 20-35. Caught them on minnows, jigs of all colors. Didnt seem to matter as long as you put it in front of a school that wanted to eat
