  8. life jacket legislation

    in General Discussion

    Actually where do you see a grey area?

    In this case you legally required life jackets.

    It's not a grey area just because the CO choose to use his disgression and issue a warning instead of a fine.

    The next guy may not be as lucky especially if he has an attitude.

    I should have worded that better. We both had PFDs they just were not on.

     

    And the grey area is a No pfd law is never enforced around here for non motored vehicles.

     

    Where I was was also where I swim, lol, and i sure as heck dont wear a PFD doing that!

    Once the boat stops off comes my PFD.

     

    Same with my kiddos.

     

    But that would probably be much different if I was fishing lake O or any big body of water.

     

    We use float suits at ice out and my kids arent allowed in the boat at that time(but thats also river fishing with strong currents.

     

    There seems to be some grey areas with COs as well. I got a warning last year on a tiny lake, 20ft from shore in a paddleboat, for no PFD.

     

    Off topic but fishing crappie from a paddleboat is fun???

     

    And lol terry???

  13. Trouble With Hookset

    Honestly I dont fish those snagless frogs often, and when I do Its usually a test to see if bass or pike ate active in the slop.

     

    The post about holding the rod at 11 oclock during retrieve is great!

     

    I have my own method and its similar abit.

     

    I loosen my drag, fish hits and I have to tighen my drag to set the hook.

     

    Similar concept, it makes you wait a few extra seconds.

     

    I like this method because the fiah feels no weight or pressure.

     

    Anyhow, I hate livetarget frogs. I find them the worst of the bunch.

     

    I honestly like the cheaper versions, like matzuo. But I also found some awesome ones at the great bear from a few companies ive never even heard of lol

     

    They dont puncture so easily and fish awesome.

     

    In dence weeds my go to is still a berkley chigger craw in black and red fleck, texas rigged and a bullet sinker. I can fish the top, middle and bottom with that rig and it flat out catches fish

    Looks like Ill be heading in now.

     

    Just noticed one of my stings appears to be infected.

     

    day after I was stung in that spot I had a quarter sized red spot

     

    Stupid me I never bothered looking at it(as its near my hip), I look today and its about 8"s long and the only reason I looked aas because of how itchy it was

    Casting?

    Trolling?

    Dirty water?

    Clear water?

    Target depth?

    Fishing structure or open water?

     

    I like the 20 foot taildancers but recently have been doing well with deep thundersticks...

    Thats why I picked what I picked lol. It will work in all those conditions, but certainly not my favorite crank
