  1. Very pretty fish for sure. The TWRA was going to take a sample to determine for sure what it was, but it looked like a classic meanmouth to me. Mike
  2. Thank you Phil, the feed is much cleaner! Mike
  3. I’ve had both; have an iPad Pro which is the best by far. It is a very capable platform all around and I read A LOT, so worth the investment for me(have the 1TB drive). Have had it 6 years so far. Mike
  4. I joined as well; have no issue kicking in but likewise prefer not to manage. Mike
  5. The smiles in your pics tell the story - awesome!
  6. I use it as well; especially in different climate zones with totally different biomes .
  7. I have a friend that has given up and just refers to Al as “that lightweight metal”. Mike
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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! …
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. Looks like KUIU….good stuff, but pricey. I might have some but in a different pattern…😉 Mike
  14. 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
  15. Social media keeps regurgitating Bill’s fish…… Mike
  16. If an Opti you likely need to run the Opti DFI oil. Mine sips the stuff, a tank lasts quite a while. Mike
  17. $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
  19. 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
