    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

    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

    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! …

    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

    What's Cooking?

    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

    I use Invisx as well, my flouro all around casting rods are spooled with either 8 or 10# - I use them for stripers, hybrids, walleye, and bass, and routinely catch large fish with no issues as long as I retie as required and replace when it is needed. I use more care when tossing 1 oz spoons, but those line sizes work well. I have one glide bait rod with 15# currently,, and again I use care when casting the bigger stuff. I use heavier braid/flouro for flipping docks/cover although I am almost always out in deep water. Mike

    I have an older Dyna King Barracuda that I acquired when they were reasonably priced, and I am quite happy with it. I will at times spend quite a bit of time in front of it cranking out ammo; I tend to lose a few in addition to giving to friends. Mike

    LOZ is low…..I’ll assume he is waiting on Fake News….😉 Mike

    And trout…. Mike

    Agree; unless you have radar, you should not be running like that in any fog. Things happen fast, and boats don’t brake. Mike

    We stayed at Reed Bingham on our way to and from Florida earlier this year; very nice place - second your recommendation! Mike

    A career should be an investment in yourself, and when one stays the course and pursues the right opportunities it pays off. Much like other investments, expectation of immediate returns is high risk, and very often ends badly. Good luck to you, gamble well. Mike
