    To clarify this is not the Humminbird 360. The Mega Live is scheduled to be released in March. Hoping that some of the tournament guys have seen or used this and it really does compete with Livescope. Would save all of us with Humminbirds up front a bunch of money.

      This is probably about the longest I’ve been without fishing! It’s been 3 weeks I think? Tough out there today! Couple over 2 witty big fish of 2.44 but not near enough!! Feels good to be back on the water though. Work tomorrow and fish a couple days and repeat!!

          Most the people I meet that catch 3 pounders all the time don’t have a scale. I would imagine the 5 pound folks do too. Hell the world record was 5 something I think caught out a pond in Tennessee 2 years ago. 3.2 is a stud! There’s old *** men that have crappiecfished their whole lives gonna go to their grave not catching one that big!

            My truck engine gave up over the Christmas holidays, with 278k on a 350ic that's nver been rebuilt. So, I haven't been out to do anything outdoors. My little car ain't big enough to put my game cart in to deer hunt public land on foot. And it certainly ain't big enough to pull my boat.


            I did hire an engine builder over the holidays, to build an LS 5.3 to replace that old wore out 5.7. I'm not sure the old truck is going to know how to act once it has 125-150 more HP than the rated 210 it came with, from a basically stock and built to factory spec 5.3 with mild cam.


            I've been looking for a temp replacement truck in the mean time so I can still get out till I get the old white truck back on the road. I may have found one. But it's still going to be 2 more weeks before I can get out in it~! (pulling my hair out ). And since I didn't get to deer hunt this year because of the way life went, I'm going to bust ducks the last two weekends of the season so I can have something else besides chicken, turkey and fish all year. I had to give up store bought pork and beef. But wild game is OK in limited portions. Saltwater fish is very limited, no more shell fish of any kind. But most freshwater are good, Thank you Lord Father!


            Come Feb though, I'll be on the fish!~! (I hope )

                        I still feel like I’m bouncing up and down! What a brutal day. We only caught 12 fish today but managed 13.74 on 7 and that was good enough for 3rd place. Got 2 good fish tangled in trees that got off today and had 2 others just come off. Rescheduled Fridays trip to wind and cancelled tomorrow’s. 2021 isn’t starting out too well on that side! I’ve cancelled or rescheduled every trip so far because of wind!

                          We managed a few today. Not any big ones but I doubt we’ll ever see any big ones again. Long story.

                              Yes sir. My mom and her husband only take out like 10 a year so they’re likely overpopulated. But either want to talk about how to manage the pond effectively. In their minds, they want numbers so the kids can catch lots of fish. Oh well.

                                That's almost like antler restrictions, for fish.
