Barde drives 9 hours to come fish with me. Northeast Division BFL has not been kind to Barde for the tournament locations.

It’s all about the tides and the grass

Congratulations! Go get em!

If you can’t fix it with electrical tape then I don’t know how to fix it.

It has been fun to hang with Barde on these trips and to get extra fishing. He got a nice Falcon! !! I caught no bass for three days but still had fun. I did catch other species including this thing!

For those of you that are too young to know who Jim Cantore is ……..https://youtu.be/FVly4jV-L6s?si=z8DL8-L9BGZPfsjK

That’s a biggie!

I was there and there was not much Barde could do about it. He handled it well and he was well prepared with supplies to handle the emergency. Barde went in chest deep water to change the prop. Impressive.

Area was not marked and the water is several feet low. I feel bad for my man Barde but we made the best of it. We also gained some unexpected experience. Barde got to fish with the King of Lake Champlain.

Cat like reflexes afterward in grabbing the boat saved you. Glad you survived.

Way to put that work in Barde! In a couple of days I will be at Lake Champlain for the first time ever fishing with you. Looking forward to the challenge.
