Those are nice, and for me that is the way I go for indicator fishing as well; I have a box full of jigged nymph ties for that purpose. I have tried high sticking, and either I’m just not good at it, the water I’m fishing is too turbulent, or both. Mike

When I’ve gone up we’ve checked our insulated boxes of frozen fish as luggage and shipped our clothes and rods, etc. home via UPS. Works great actually, but that is flying out of Anchorage. It costs way more to ship the fish than the gear…. Mike

Looks like KUIU….good stuff, but pricey. I might have some but in a different pattern…😉 Mike

Most truly are appreciative of their sacrifice. I visited a few, including the American Cemetery in Luxembourg and Patton’s grave - these cemeteries truly are well cared for. I traced ‘Patton’s run’ while visiting, including cemeteries and memorials like the one Bastogne. There is still visible evidence and damage from that time everywhere you look….IF you are looking. Recommend if you get the opportunity. Mike

Social media keeps regurgitating Bill’s fish…… Mike

If an Opti you likely need to run the Opti DFI oil. Mine sips the stuff, a tank lasts quite a while. Mike

$23,400 in 2025. Subject to change. For me, retired means I ain’t working no more. And The Lord willing, I ain’t….. Mike

I think those onions might just be cabbage? Either way, they satisfy a crave. Mike

X2 and the locking pliers AND some clean lineman’s pliers(medical use only) as well as first aid supplies. I have lost more than one wrestling match with a big hybrid that ended with hook(s) buried in my flesh and I just don’t like it. Hasn’t happened since I acquired those pliers, they are great. Mike

I saw it on DD’s feed….awesome thing to be doing right now! Count me jelly as well…… Mike

Look up some hard glide baits or Megabass suspending jerk baits……that $7 will seem more like a bargain priced item. Toys cost more I guess. Mike

31 FOW, evening.

Took 3 new fisherman out and taught them how to spoon on LOZ yesterday evening….this is an hour and a half’s fishing with me just working and not fishing. They used snap raps and vibratos fished pretty much vertically, and wanted a fish fry so we kept a mess. Mike

Have an onboard on the boat and a lithium jump start unit in the truck. They haven’t let me down. Mike

I fish for striper and walleye a lot, and this time of year I fish extensively with spoons, both jigging and flutter of various sizes/configurations as well as in-line and tail spinners. They can work well and are versatile, cast a mile, and sink fast or slow depending on type. Mike
