Gen 1:21
And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly.... and God saw that it was good.
On the flip side I have caught several walleye under wake boat traffic, they seem to dig it, but the stress of it all is too much for me to hang out there long.....I may have acquired some hippy speak from my uncles, 🤙
I would just like it if they would give me a wide berth when I'm fishing.
I have had them roll within a few yards of we when I'm finishing the bank when there was plenty of room for both of us.
Either most operators are oblivious to others or they just don't care.
Those dang things get hooked on everything, and you can't hardly get them loose, I clip the front hook off that might help a little, I quit using them, too expensive. I can get a jigging spoon loose 99% of the time, that's what I go with.
Mink pee it smells great.
Put the boat in an enclosed area (not the garage connected to the house) close the doors let the generator or tractor run in there for a few hours.
I knew a guy that would close his shop a couple times a year and let his semi run until it shut itself off. It was an older truck, I wouldn't do it with a new one, or anything with tech
Registration is a state thing as far as I know. We took kayaks to fellows and they sold us a sticker based on the type of boat. There was a 40hp limit last I knew. The folks at the marina will inspect (look at ) your rig to make sure your description is accurate, if I remember right.
It seems like I remember something about the marina being closed after a certain date, after that a guy is unable to buy a sticker for the boat. It's been a while.
I caught a couple trout opposite side of the ramp off a stick up with a black twitch tail minnow on a dropshot one summer, the water was hot they were only about 12ft deep or so, must have been a spring there or something, they were completely silver.
I am not a spelunker but when I was young we crawled around in several caves in the Greene and Stone counties, many times I would catch a bat by trapping it against the cave in my ball cap (now I have weird hair in that spot...not really😜) I never had a bat deliberately bite me.
I would guess that bat was infected, really weird !
You are right, I think, try getting a spoon through a suspended pack of feeding k bass, the walleye are almost always under them, I think picking up the wounded.
That's great, and a spread of multiple sizes as well ! I felt like the walleye population was going to get good. I wonder if a slot limit like they have up north would help the size now that there appears to be a decent population.
Several mile north of the area you mentioned I spooned up 30 walleye all 1/4 of an inch short, in an area the size of a large dinner table. That was 2 or 3 years ago now.
I too have caught a ton of those big bluegill. Once in October we found some large ones with the walleye. That was 8 or 9 yrs ago already (there is a video somewhere)...I need to get my priorities straight
Thanks for the report
I put a couple things I like to throw on the scale just because.
I can chuck these in the 70ft+ range with my cheap junk reels if I get things right.
I don't know what I'm doing. It seems good enough to me.
I am curious how this compares to the more refined options.
That's 2/10 and 3/10 oz
