Tip of the plug needs to be touching a good ground, and dont hold it it with your hands, use pliers with insulated handle or you'll get shocked

I just dont leave the trailer underwater for hours while i fish. Water will always find its way in.

Take that carb apart and clean it. Im sure its gummed up pretty good, it doesnt take much on a little carb like that to clog up

Nothing better than some water soaked trailer hubs

If Flu shots didnt work every nurse at every hospital would get it. I travel to 20 different hospitals and everyone is infested with the Flu. We are required to get the shot. Gets old every year educated rednecks that dont believe in the shot...

HAHA, but nope, i wont be getting paid. Im a private contractor, so i'll be dipping into the savings. Im burned out anyhow. Some time off isnt gonna kill me....well maybe it will, who knows

If i say yes does that make me a "pro" for the summer since i get paid to fish all day?

Looks like i have one week left of doing sleep studies in Kansas, if the counties i work in dont get shut down. I was told, i may have a lot of extra fishing time this summer. Non essential procedures are getting shut down.

Makes me happy, I cant stand organized sports

I got mine from Russel marine in Kansas. They had a 10 percent off deal and the $200 rebate, with no tax and free shipping They still do the job, I still have a old 1197 at my console and like it a lot

We always used to stay at Sugarloaf Inn. It isnt anything fancy but its clean, and the owners are great peeps. You can back you boat directly in front of your room door to charge at night. I always liked having the boat close

The fuzzy line is the bottom contouring up to the bank. And yes those dots are the crappie. I just went from stall to stall till I saw them bunched up like that. I think two stalls out of about 10 on that dock had a school of crappie. Didn’t even bother fishing unless I could see them. Kinda feels like cheating

Went back yesterday and they were biting even better, water temp came up 6 degrees in 2 days, i saw 59-60. Only caught 9 keepers out of the 40 or so fish. Only was on the water a little over 2 hours and i had a trolling motor pedal failure. Anyone with a Motorguide x3 i would advise to get a couple of these kits to keep handyhttps://mercuryperformance.com/parts/mercury-marine/8m0089417-hardware-kit/. A little plastic piece holds the cable to the foot pedal and it is a poor design and im sure it will break again in the future. I called Ulrich and they had the part i needed in stock so i ran up there and got it. By the time we got back to the water the wind was blowing to hard to crappie fish for me. Caught a whole bunch out from under a dock that i found on the livescope, mostly short fish though

Launched at Bridgeport and headed into flat creek. Ended up with 13 keeper crappie in brush piles. Most were in 10-12ft. Also caught a few up the James in 20ft. They are pretty scattered out right now.I probably aught 40 short ones. Minnows seemed to be the ticket. I was using slip bobbers and the bite was extremely light. Sometimes the bobber wouldnt even move

When you say shad kill, what exactly are you seeing, Ive been running the kimberling area this weekend and havent seen any dyeing shad

Last year was the first year i used Rejuvenade but i like it much better than G juice. Just seems like that little jar goes a lot farther than the juice, and doesnt tip over and leak all over the place lol

I would love to use them, but man that would make the price of an A-rig even more expensive. I do love the jigs, all i use anymore, they really are hard to lose, I dont think i lost one all of last year. Ive been using the VMC boxer heads and really like them for a-rigs

That rejuvinade is the deal. Ive had a bleeder and you through them in there with that stuff and you can see the the blood clots start floating on top of the water. I usually put a little hydrogen peroxide in to increase the DO too. Also added and extra aerator this year because it was cold out and i was bored and needed a project

Im with ya, i blame the Anglers, if it were up to me i would say no weighing any dead fish period

Ill run into you eventually, Ill prob do some of the Campbell point ones too

Last year in mid summer out of 26 boats I only saw 2 dead fish in one of the USA bassins. But i was at a benefit tournament the same week and they were hiding bags of deads ones in the back of a truck. IT was a massacre. I think a lot of the benefit tourneys, it is a bunch of guys out for a good cause that dont know how to take care of bass in a live well because they never do it

I never heard any of the TD's say anything about a no cull rule last year. Even though it is a lake wide rule during the summer. And they were all 5 fish limit tourneys last year. As far as dead fish, I just dont get how people just let them die. I fished a ton of summer stuff last year and almost everyone of my fish were in 30-50ft of water and i never had any die on me. Ice the livewell in the morning with rejuvenade, keep the same water all day on recirc. Fizz the fish, I put weighted cull balls on them so they stay upright. I saw a lot of dead fish at weigh ins last summer, but happy to say mine swam off like rockets. Benefit tournaments were by far the worst for dead fish. The fish def. dont benefit one bit from it

They are fun, I did them last year. Usually 10-25 boats. Cheaper to fish than a lot of the other trails.

Anyone on here doing the USA Bassin? Starts Sunday out of Mill Creek
