Barde rods update…my father in law and I spent some time with the rods and tried various baits. Had 15lb braid with 10lb leader on both reels. (Because these were the only two reels I still had line on, end of season for me)

Bushido - Ned, SMH head, wacky

GRB - light ned, crappie jigs, 1-2” jerkbaits.

Both rods preformed wonderfully. Really impressed with casting distance even with the smaller lighter baits. Going to be ordering my father in law the GRB for Christmas. Let me or Brian Barde know if you have any questions.

Brian Barde asked about books to help hone his skills. This book has been one of my favorites. It speaks to the fact that talent doesn’t exist. There’s so many gems to talk about. I can read this one over again like I never read it before.

Good morning fishing crew I’ve got a question I’ve been bouncing around in my head and thought why not ask the crew and get other opinions: I’ve got a 87 ranger 363V, my steering cables need to be replaced. I’ve been bouncing the idea of upgrading to hydraulic steering but not sure if I want to pull the trigger; any opinions on upgrading or staying rack and pinion would be greatly appreciated from the community.

What is everyone’s favorite side and dessert on Thanksgiving?

December 3rd! Bring your questions to the discussion room!

If ya know, ya know! Seems like forever ago. How many of y'all thought they left out the code when you got your order? Hahaha.

Here’s some of the screenshots we’re gonna dissect for the sonar workshop in a few weeks. This is from the trip giveaway with Tim Dodson. All of this stuff is easier than you think!

Can you believe this? 🥶what’s your holiday plans?

So my Dad told me a real long time ago, when he was a kid, they used to do a fishery festival of sorts on the ice at this one lake everyone would catch these giant perch at. The fish were full of eggs. Near the end of the day, the people that attended would get together and cut the egg sacks out of all these fish, flour them and fry them up. Any people in the community ever try this? What did ya think if you have? I tried it out with a handful I cought once. I'd do it again!

Not much luck but I can’t think of a better way to spend the day
