Managed to sneak away for a little bass fishing down in Florida! Anyone who been down there knows how inconsistent the weather has been all winter! We had morning where it was 6-7 degrees C and we had days where the wind was gusting to 70-80 kph! Needless to say Florida bass don’t like those conditions but we made the best of it and managed some good fish! Got to fish with a bunch of great dudes down there as well! Enjoy the pics!

Hello gang Most of you don’t know me as I’m not very active online anymore… but I used to be many years ago I was a cocky bugger and often mistook some sage advise of some of the members in here… puffed my chest… and was very argumentative and dismissive in some cases for some reason for a while now I felt the strong need to say 2 things on here 1 - to all you you cocky live scoping… power poling… satellite imaging…. $100k boat driving… and all the other stuff I don’t even know about… 20 something year olds trying to get a foot in the door of the fishing industry… youtube… guiding… pro staff… sponsored… etc…. the older long standing members on here know their stuff… nearly all the advise i can remember ever getting on here was right or at least came from a good place but it took me too long to realize that. So please really try to understand their advice and be accepting of it. I've lost friends… opportunities… fishing spots… time… all cause i didn't listen 2- to anyone that ever tried to help me… if I didn’t say it… thank you... trying to remember some… Bill M? Terry? Pikeslayer? Spiel? of course Lew…. Mercman… many many more now I'm 38…. Have 2 kids and a respectable job… fishing is for me and making me happy… I hated guiding even though I delivered good results and still get calls 10 years after stopping… it just wasn't for me… sometimes gas money isn't worth as much as a good net man that can keep a secret… fishing trips sometimes aren't about fishing and thats ok… and sometimes you gotta fish for what your buddy likes or some day you wont have any fishing buddies Anyway sometimes you just gotta do or say something and that's all this post is about for me Thanks and tight lines

Well, the first thing "I " would do is look into having it converted to either natural gas or propane depending on what's available in your area. That would eliminate all the problems with maintaining cans of gas for long periods of time. In my experience people start out with great intentions (going to change out the gas on a regular basis...... ) but then life gets in the way and things get forgotten. Just when you need it the most it's not ready to go. The second thing "I " would do is have it professionally wired into the house with an automatic system that will allow it to start when needed and shut off when not. Having to run extension cords isn't a great option at - 20 in the middle of the night or if you aren't home. What happens if you are away or sick, is your wife going to be able to hook everything up and run it? Yes, it's going to cost you to do the above but you have already invested in part of the system, might as well do it properly so you can get the maximum use out of it. Just my $0.02 😊

Hi all, got out this morning for 3 hours on a local trout lake and………

Really like how these turned out. 7/32 tungsten glow beads. Very cool.

Is leaderboard available for viewing? Thanks

Very nice David, wish I'd been there.

They look great!😋

Anybody who has fished enough has encountered that smell! LOL

Just a note to let everyone know here that despite a 4 year absence, mainly due to covid etc, our local rod and gun club will be running their 38th annual pike tournament, more cash prizes than ever and they are looking to have some pretty great secondary prizes as well. Up to 200 boats, one day, making this one of the largest in Ontario. There is still room in the first heat. https://piketournament.ca/ They are also looking for sponsors big or small, if anyone's interested.

Im running the website for the tourney... there's gonna be alot more sponsor's shortly. and our Airbnb is open that weekend.. lol They will have a live scoresheet that day as well. still room in the first heat. I am VERY confident they will get their 200 teams.

Hey Mike, good to hear from you Bud, it's been a long time. Your a fun guy to fish with and you for sure passed a lot of knowledge on to others too. We had some good times on the water, put some nice fish in the boat, had a lot of laughs and even scarfed down some incredible Philly cheese steaks LOL

You have to wear the hat.

LOL.. you should try fishing with my wife... then you will know humiliation.
