  1. I joined as well; have no issue kicking in but likewise prefer not to manage. Mike
  2. The smiles in your pics tell the story - awesome!
  3. I use it as well; especially in different climate zones with totally different biomes .
  4. I have a friend that has given up and just refers to Al as “that lightweight metal”. Mike
  5. Yes, plenty of bears. We were here in August and September and there was a 400ish trash bandit that I squared off with a few times, in broad daylight even. He was NOT afraid of me. Hopefully someone harvested him this season…. If I’m ever up here at that time I’ll probably give bear hunting a go….my FIL has harvested them in the past, and always looked forward to it. Mike
  6. FIL lives just outside Lake Ariel on a small lake(Beyea pond). We’ve been spending more time up here helping out as his health declines, and I’ve been poking around when I have the chance. Fortunate that I’ve got a friend with great access to Wallenpaupack; we fished the upper end below the bridge today. To be honest, this area is growing on me - especially in summer, although the hunting pales in comparison to what we have in Missouri. Still learning. Mike
  7. Up spending time with my FIL, and have a friend with a place on Wallenpaupack he bought primarily for ice fishing. Had the chance to join him for a few hours today. This was my first time fishing on ice, and prior to today, I could really not see the attraction. As with any fishing, it was hot and cold - we couldn’t buy a bite on the tip-ups(baited with trapped creek chubs and one 11” fallfish)…but I was able to jig up a handful of nice perch and a surprise nice brown(Yes, I was scoping-and I’m not sorry…lol). I get it now, and look forward to the next opportunity! …
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. Looks like KUIU….good stuff, but pricey. I might have some but in a different pattern…😉 Mike
  11. 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
  12. Social media keeps regurgitating Bill’s fish…… Mike
  13. If an Opti you likely need to run the Opti DFI oil. Mine sips the stuff, a tank lasts quite a while. Mike
  14. $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

    What's Cooking?

    I think those onions might just be cabbage? Either way, they satisfy a crave. Mike
  16. 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
  17. I saw it on DD’s feed….awesome thing to be doing right now! Count me jelly as well…… Mike
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. Have an onboard on the boat and a lithium jump start unit in the truck. They haven’t let me down. Mike
  21. 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
