Black & Decker Slice Right Electric Knife at Walmart. A guide at Mark Twain was using one of these, had been on the same set of blades for 2 years. I've found them good and reliable. Around $12-13...

It was a 5 inches of good ice everywhere I drilled...including right off the JB ramp.

Drilled 30 holes thru 5 inches over/around the USACE brush in JB yesterday from 9am-2pm. No bites on either plastic or waxies. There was open water under the west bridge on the 154 causeway when I...

Thanks Nick. We'll have to get you a Coast Guard commission.

Usace visitors center said they were sending someone out to check the ramps this am. Will call tomorrow.

I'd take my chances with the bigfoot over a BFRO contributor.

We tried it yesterday. Lots of little. Could probably have walked on water along the 154 causeway on the backs of the shad. Blacked out the screen on the sonar most of the day and was bumping them...

In spite of fear of driving up demand and doubling the price....the Black-Decker-Slice-Right-Electric-Knife for crappie/panfish/whitebass/perch/small catfish. Wallyworld. They're $10 on line and...

Electric Chicken, Screamer, Blue Ghost & Ghost in that order (all MoGlo's). The Blue Ghost and Ghost colors glow the brightest.

We had room for 2 more pedestal bases. We're able to use power pedestals which are more comfortable and it makes running the TM easier. The seats go to the back of the boat when we're done fishing...

4/25 Sandusky north shore (out of the wind) WT 62-65
Only 7 keepers. Lots of little. All dark males. All in less than 2fow.
They seemed to be identifying with the bigger standing trees and...

Luke's place east of the tracks on 154 in Sesser. He's open at 7AM (most days..he says).

Kinkaid is ice-free on the main lake, however there's still ice from the ramp out about 30 feet. It looked like somebody tried to launch or maybe backed their truck in and broke some ice.
At...

We used both the Wally Marshall and Basspro crappie reels on our jig poles for several years but have went to spinning reels because the anti-reverse and drags seem to work better than the clickers,...

Yeah, Joe the Plumber is a knucklehead, but so is Al Gore.

I'll assume the Garland/ Gene Larue Mini-Shad (and MoGlo...hint hint) baits are plastic as well as trout magnets (not crappie magnets...hint hint chart and white), so...yes. the Gulp Alive...

We keep our minishads soaked in Gulp Alive shad/shiner in plastic containers. Seems to work well stiff lining or under corks.

Several years ago in Wyoming the perch would only take minnows that had been given a shot of scent. You could drop a minnow without scent in one hole and a scented one in a hole a foot away and the...

Maybe it's just a fluke or maybe I haven't noticed before, but the last few trips to Rend have all produced at least 1 fish over 10" that was extremely thin. Almost skin and bones thin. Didn't...

We've fished the stumps north west of the resort twice without much luck, there are a lot of stumps below water line, and there's no getting out of any kind of wind. We found fish (mostly black...

Apparently they're in both Rend and Crab.
A boat pulled one out next to us by...

Do you know how long the bighead carp have been in the lake and how they got there?

...you might want to check these guys out. They are not cheap, but I've never seen stronger boats and trailers. They will build to your specs but be prepared to wait for it and to make a few trips...

We were down there last week and got a few. I'd try riprap someplace where the wind won't beat you up. Looks like the wind should be out of the south, so maybe along the dam or the north side of...

Had an older Evinrude 65 that acted like that. Found the bottom carb (of 3) had the hard shell of a little beetle blocking gas to that carb. Literally a bug in the fuel line. G's comment might be...
