    Can't really say I'm over it (blood chemistry is a fickle thing when complicated by diabetes) but I'm doing better and no where near ready to give up my ghost.

    I'm sure you'll let us how the trip...

    Back in the saddle (boat) again

    Back in the summer my health took an abrupt turn and knocked me out of the saddle. So much so that I thought my very brief fishing career was over and I consigned my boat. Things have turned out much...

    I pulled 300s week before last on Secession. Caught more spotted bass than crappie in 20 to 25 fow at 10 to 15 feet deep. When you drag through a ball of baitfish, hang on.

    Secession is full of...

    Driftmaster tip saver

    Can anyone with the offset version (model 2160) be kind enough to give me the dimensions each side of the post? Trying to see if I can wedge a set on one side of my center console.

    First time pulling cranks

    I pulled cranks for the first time Wednesday. I decided to try this mainly because the crappie left the creeks early on Secession this year and suspended in 25 to 35 FOW at 12 to 17 feet. I felt...

    The fish are just OK. They seem to be smallish, I think from the draw down. Numbers are OK but that's probably more me than the lake. Thursday was my first time pulling cranks (more on that later in...

    Fished it today. Full pond, clear 80 degree water. I was the only one at the 184 ramp when I put in, only one trailer when I pulled out. Didn't see a single jet ski, only a few pontoons, two pleasure...

    I'm a newb and only pull 4. Only really bad tangle I've had was from a ginormous kitty. 4 rods keep me plenty busy. I don't think I'm catching only half what I could do with 8 rods.

    I've shopped those as well. Don't have the tow vehicle for that but I'd imagine a pontoon is the ultimate open deck.

    Tiller steer?

    It's been full pond for awhile but I wouldn't say it's back to normal. They dropped it 24 feet (the upper end was just a creek) and I think the fish suffered. I've caught a few nice crappie but most...

    Not my biggest

    But this is by far the best looking fish I've ever caught. I had no idea they could get this black. The pic doesn't do it justice. Eyes were huge and jet black in a jet black head. Immediately...

    I caught one like that today. Didn't even know he was on. No telling how long I drug him around.

    You're lucky one of those green carp didn't make a meal out of him while fighting him in.
