Re: O/T - Hardwater Fix

Do you have smallmouth bass in Spain? Not!! I have expressed myself badly, I was not very sure what you call him there, I thought he was a smallmouth, but looking on the internet he is not the smallmouth. Specifically, this is what we have: https://i.ibb.co/02FxZ9H/IMG-20140920-WA0010.jpg Apart fro...

Re: O/T - Hardwater Fix

You didn't get bored!! I have never fished on ice, this way of fishing has always seemed curious to me. What do you do jigging with? with jigs like those of the sea? spoons? vinyls? How delicious are the walleyes!! I never got to enjoy the pike, a strange taste for my palate. How did you cook it th...

O/T - Hardwater Fix

Nip opened on the 1st of January for ice fishing but due to the weather was only suitable for walk-on. I like to fish the south shore and there is no way to walk as the areas i hit are 10 to 20 miles from the nearest access at Wade's Landing on Fish Bay at the bottom of South Bay. So decided to give...

Re: Can't break the heat

XB, you are what is referred to as being prudent. You are showing a mature attitude as a hunter. Go fishing! Agreed. Good on you XB. Been fun watching you grow on this forum. Myself i like to wait until there is snow on the ground. Texas snow is not typically an option but 85F is unfathomable to me...

Re: Fall Color

I love all of that color. Around here that normally means the bucks are about to lose their minds. This year we're behind the curve. The grasses in the woods are browning, but very few of the trees have leaves changing. This was from yesterday evening in the rain in Northern Virginia. https://bn130...

2022 Fall Bear Report

In a typical year i begin baiting 2 weeks before the season opens. Typically this means set up around the third week of August. This year things got off to a late start and baits were not set until September 10th. In years when i have more time i will bait off the beaten path at a back lake that is ...

Ticker Test Today

Gave the old ticker a stress test today that i think would satisfy most cardiologists for a guy pushing 60. I'll preface this by saying that my loader is currently in the shop waiting on back ordered parts and normally using it would make this a whole lot easier. Took down a huge poplar that was pos...
