Since I'm retired I wish I would have done it sooner. Don't have a lot of money but it don"t take much once I figured out I don't need all the toys and gadgets.

Prayers sent from us here in Iowa. The Lord does not give us more than we can handle, hang in there Scotty.

If I remember we had 4 or 5 inches of ice. Actually the water below had ice on it but I did not stick around to find out how much.

Good advice Jakesdad, I was at a res. many years ago, went out and punched the first hole for thickness check, the water level was actually a good foot below the ice, we got the heck out of there...

One of my buddies here is a lineman and has worked massive hours. He catches a few zzz's in his truck and off they go to the next problem. Lots of times we see lineman and five trucks looking at a...

Lithium is a good source of power, my only concern is you have a very small window of when its got output and when its over, and I mean now.

Nice catch and on home grown jigs makes it even more special.

That all does point to a temp drop, that is speculative at best But, just give it a while to come around to more typical temps in your area. I can't really think that's it and who knows. Electronics...

You do have a good verity there. Keep up the good work.

Skeet, I have never found a decent pair of pliers for split rings. What are you using?

Those tiny rings are a pain. I use them now that I get use to the fight but I also use larger ones some times and the fish don't seem to care. I personally buy from Hagens. I am a small time buyer...

Love them jigs Doc.

I've been involved in knife sharpening as a side job for years. cattoon is right in this style blade needs to be resharpened on the flat, but very lightly as they are designed for a certain gap...

I'll try to make this short as I can. Took a fisherman to Clinton to fish a tourney but I was not fishing as his partner was there to take him. After I dropped him off I went to dinner with the...

I have a 15 four stroke merc on my 18 foot Ranger Fisherman and 1.5 mph is the slowest speed I can manage. They make a trolling prop now for merc's but it does not fit my long shaft Bigfoot motor. I...

Plus you can go to Electronics section here on Crappie.Com main forum and put out this question, lots of folks smarter than me on there.

Go to Humminbird home page, all the manuals are there in PDF format to down load free.

We walleye fish here till ice up. Lots of times it is in the teens all day and units have functioned. I suspect some thing else happened to the head unit. I also think not using a depth finder for 2...

Not for me, I just don't want an autonomous boat. But, technology always moves forward without me. LOL

Thanks for the pics, your doing very well. Now there is nothing at the boat shows you need, just stroll around and enjoy. Come on spring

You are the MAN. Tying those little guys are way out of my league. Great job!

Love ice fishing LOOONG ago. Went through the ice, fishing springs on our lakes twice one year. Never gave the ice the third try for me. It is fun, I just could not give up on springs as they hold...

1/16 and under I try to stay at 50% to 50% and if I know I'm pouring the little stuff I go 75% soft or more. I pour a lot of 3/8 oz up to 1 oz jigs so that is where I use most of my WW lead. I still...

I agree Ryan, My jig box is ridiculously heavy as being prepared is key. I do fish with a guy who carries a tiny little plano box with just black, white and yellow jigs in 2 sizes with a zip lock bag...

I have done a ton of wheel weights and scrap lead. don't be afraid of mixing in some 90% pure lead as it helps with pouring jigs. If your doing really small jigs just stay away from wheel weights as...

Orange blades have my vote for our water.

Yes it is, I have had both.

Sweet, good looking job. Thanks

silverside, Just know there are a lot of fishing family out here that wish for your full recovery. Thoughts and prayers and hang in there as my episodic dizziness took about 4 years to clear up and...

Just south of the Quad Cities, on the Mississippi.
