Does anyone have to deal with algae blooms on their fishery?  If so, how do you go about fishing through them? 

Wednesday Nighter 4th Place.  Just one of those Bobby Barrett perfect evenings. Moon, weather, conditions all came together.  Put together a 15.5lb bag.  Fished the very thick 9-13ft weeds with a Texas rig.  We also got to be boat #1 which has never happened before. 

If you guys couldn’t fish bass anymore, what species would you go for?

Do you guys have any other interests or hobbies other than fishing?

To follow up from Brian Barde post…This old beast was called “Meat & Toys”.  1978 Sylvan 19’. But had 2007 Mercury 115hp.  Bought it for $2,800 from a guy that was getting divorced.  He had 4 boats at the time… My buddy and I split the cost of the boat and bought it together.  We had just got out of college and were poor.  But we had new jobs, he was an engineer for Fisher Price Toys and I was in sales for a meat packing company.  So we came up with the boat name, “Meat & Toys”.  Solid  aluminum boat.  Survived some big water days on Lake Erie.  Wish I had some better pictures of it though.  

My father in law had a 5 way tie for 3rd place in our Wednesday nighter with a 17.75”.  My 16.75” didn’t make the cut.  

Do you guys have any experience with Optima batteries? Are they worth the $.  

I only have room for one starting/electronics battery in my boat so I’m looking to maximize my running time without have to jump my starting battery with a Noco boost anytime I want to run the engine.  Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Great weekend to be at the north woods cabin for some fishing, eating, and drinking.  

Just sayin…every time I wear this shirt and throw a gremlin…I’ve caught my 3 biggest bass this year. 

When the man says throw at the dock when it has a double post, he’s not wrong.
