Go for an hour. Blame the fish. Then tie up to the dock at Zorbaz.

Big fan of Ernies as well. Gull is a fun lake.

I watch a lot of FL fishing content on youtube and they’re commonly recommended reels.

Highly recommend the snip. Confirmed i’m shooting blanks and it’s been a great time ever since.

Peacock has the SNF games, they’re NBC’s streaming service.

Awesome work!

I’d toss the Thorne Bros Quiverstick in the mix. It’s my favorite rod I own.

Perfect height to thrust without standing on my tippy toes.

Ok –
The 70 Suzie cranks it up to 5500 rpm’s and maxed out at 34.1 mph (wind assisted) 33.4 against the wind.

Do the new outboards not have a break in procedure anymore?

It’s under warranty, send it!

Mount that bear to the front deck and tape a corona to each of it’s paws!

Welp, it’s that time of year where I can fully commit to baseball because the other franchises forgot how to win when it matters.

Definitely interested in a north metro meetup sometime!

Airline affiliated credit cards would be your best bet to earn rewards I believe.

I use google flights when pricing out trips. It allows you to view pricing history, set alerts for specific flights if prices drop etc.

Those wings look great. Did the price of wings drop now ?

I’ve noticed wings and bacon are coming back down to pre-pandemic pricing.

Wow…no games on espn+ until Friday?! What a shame.

Edit. And its only one game!. Nhl wonders why they have viewership number problems, they make it impossible to watch especially in an age where more and more people are cutting the cord. Was able to watch a lot of games every night (other than wild) and now nothing!

Watching live sports in general has become really difficult lately – it’s frustrating.

These guys have it covered. Price isn’t competitive compared to what you can get a brand new one for with low rate financing. You’d be hard pressed to find someone with $50k cash laying around for a used truck who wouldn’t just buy a new one with warranty. Interest rates for used vehicle loans are consistently a point or two higher than for a new vehicle too.

I own a 1775 Impact w/115hp and could not be happier with the way it fishes and fits in my garage perfectly.

Do you ever wish you went up to the 150?

We’ll be doing one again this year as well. Mainly tomatoes/peppers/herbs.

Pole shed with living quarters all the way. Often referred to as a “shouse” (shop house) if you’re looking for ideas.

Another Cottage fan.

Mine came with the bench seat that was ridiculously heavy. I never weighed it (the bench), but it has to be somewhere around 40 pounds.

The shack is a so much lighter now.

Right now I just use a Helinox camping chair in it, but have always thought about making a boat seat that would fit onto a bucket or something similar.

Not super cheap, but here you go.

Pro Jump Seat

I’m in! These sound fantastic.

Own a pile of Sienna 500’s as well. Great reel for the price.

You’d need a F850 3 ton CumminPowerMax with 5 and a half turbos to even think about hauling that. It’s the IDO way.

Hahahaha! “How’d this get here?!”

Milwaukee has a new 2904 out now for even more power. 1400 in-lbs of torque vs 1200 in the 2804.

Buddy has one of these in 20 gauge he uses for grouse and likes it a lot. Good reliability and not concerned about scratching up a $2k over/under in the trees.

Yes the new lodge’s are definitely more rough. Take a palm sander and smooth it out. Wash well and then season.

Not sure how i’m just hearing about these, but i’ll definitely be ordering some. They seem so simple – in a good way.

The real question – green or orange flags?

Same story every year. Ice is setting up nice until Mr. Wind wants to intervene.

Similar to others – tie direct for panfish jigs, fast snaps for walleye spoons/rippin raps etc.

I’ll give the IDO answer. Your buddy needs to sell his truck for a 8.5′ bed 2500…Only way he can ice fish.

Psh…2500? 1 ton dually with a 24′ wheel house is bare minimum for fishing success. Anything less and you might as well stay home.
