I'd much rather have coontail than hydrilla or milfoil. There are some spots on the lake that have water willow beds that seem to always hold some fish.
Not sure what to make of a person spreading rumors about another angler. If the dude is cheating then call him out directly and turn him in. Don't trash a person's character on speculation and rumor. Lots of trash talkers in every tourney group. Usually from the guys that get their bottoms kicked routinely. I've never met Connell, but I'm not gonna smear him on rumors.
Oh so many baits. When it comes down to it we all use the same handful of hard baits year in and year out till we lose them. Just gather what you actually use and move on.
Check with the folks at Station 46. They have several homes Air BNB/VRBO residences, Boat ramp, gas, convenience store, and you'd be less than a mile from Big Dicks Halfway Inn Bar and Grill. They are building some A-Frame cabins right now as well.
Know a fella on here that whacked a homer during dove season. Called the owner and inquired what he fed the bird as he wanted to make sure it was safe to eat.
9 pages of nothing of real substance, but kind of entertaining. Balloons were shot down. What was on them, no one has said. This Country needs to get back to all of US instead of red and blue sides. Politicians need to serve the people of this Country and not use the office to fill their wallets. Term limits are the only answer. Discuss civilly and work toward a proper solution for the Country. A balanced budget should be mandatory.
If they catch/keep them legally, who am I to say they can't release to grease? A lot of States make spawning fish off limits. I'd have no problem closing the walleye and bass seasons during their spawning periods. This would include a tourney ban during that time as well. MDC won't do it as they like the $$$$ rolling into the State.
Found tackle boxes, rods and reels, a small fishing pliers, brand new shovel, boat cushions, bumpers, anchor, life jackets, many lures, and unfortunately way too much trash. Did retrieve two free floating sail boats that had broken their mooring lines.
