Crappie have been in and out for a couple weeks mid lake. Depends on the weather. Sunny afternoons they are on the bank. Mostly males last weekend up on the bank.

I am thinking about the evinrude.

The four I see most often are Evinrude, Mercury, Yamaha, and Suziki

Only time I ate vienna's was on a backpacking trip in high school. Had to build a fire and burn the outside to give them a little texture. The jelly on top is disgusting.

Has it been run since August of 2019?

Did you brine those spots?

Looking for a good aluminum rig in the 18-19 foot range. Spend too much time fishing behind docks to have a glass boat. Wrench what do you think of the 115 HP outboards?

Spent the weekend crappie fishing at LOZ. Had to have nourishment. Ribeyes, sauteed mushrooms, tossed salad, and red shrimp. The red shrimp taste like lobster. Simply sauteed in butter.

Anyone have one? Tell me what you know about these boats.

Those fried gills bring back memories of my childhood. Scaling, gutting and beheading, a quick rinse and into the cornmeal/flour mix and a swim in hot grease. Crispy tails and fins were good. Thanks for the pic.

If I need to be real careful I'd best not do it.

Live scope has changed the game from fishing to extraction.

Probably a dumb question, but is there any issue with using cast iron on a glass cooktop?

Pretty sure that was the 93 flood Bill. Of course we seem to get more historic flooding every year.

A lot of the Michigan fishing seasons have yet to open. All depends on specie and location https://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-350-79119_79146_81200---,00.html

Love to get that recipe if you'd share it. My wife could eat crab cakes everyday.

Those crab cakes look spot on.

Instead of filming that person should have gotten out and went to assist.

Anyone have a really good Lobster Bisque recipe?

Caught lots of nice crappie, walleye, white bass, and hybrids at Caplinger. The key is to fish it when they run water. Fishing picks up when the water starts to rise and falls off when it drops. Fish the eddys, holes, and places where the rising water backs into ditches coming out of the fields. Roadrunners, rattle traps, and shad raps are my go to baits. You can hang with the crowd at the bridge or go downstream on the east bank below the bridge. You can also walk up from the N bridge. Wade at your own risk.

My Dad always said if it gets to rough beach the boat and hunker down or walk out if you need to. Too many folks especially duck hunters die needlessly every year for trying to out run the conditions and failing to wear a life jacket. Watch the contestants run the main lake on their way back to PB2 on a sunny June Saturday afternoon with the cruisers out and about.. Most aren't running 20 mph, but they are sure beating up their equipment and probably any fish in the livewell.

Running like a fool does nothing but tear your stuff up. Just cause you can doesn't mean you should.

What is this "old timers formula"? I have a deck to replace as well.

What brand of marine epoxy? Do you treat the entire deck top, bottom, and sides?

I've tried to get that put into the rules for a local weekly derby for years. Managed to get weighing a short fish gets you disqualified in the rules, but folks don't want the same for a dead fish. I also believe that no dead fish should be allowed for big. Often times it is the same boat(s) with the dead fish. The onus is definitely on the angler. Had a 3+ inhale a stickbait last weekend and was bleeding quite a bit. Applied rejuvinade to the well multiple times throughout the derby after flushing the well out and replacing with fresh water. Fish was major feisty at the end of the 5 hour derby.
