Yeah, I have a small maple syrup operation. My first real sap run was today. March is typically the prime sugarin month. I never boiled once in march this year
The best way I have found is to create your wishlist of specific baits that u can pass out to family members for Christmas and birthday gift ideas! Haha. I have been pretty successful using this method! I also require each friend that I take fishing to purchase a specific lure to be added to my box. Hey, it's the least they can do getting a free fishing trip...haha
I will mention that the higher u get the reels the better off u will be. In high waves if the line is too low it will catch in the waves and affect how far out the board can go
That is so funny. Last summer we took our first trip to lake o..my dad, brother me and my son. We would listen to the VHF and when the fishing got to b slow, guys would be on the horn joking about having bananas on the dash of their boat. My son took this seriously. Later that summer we were out in my brothers boat fishing on our home lake. Not catching a thing. My son, out of nowhere says "uncle Keith, you must be hiding bananas in your boat cause we aren't catching a thing"! Man we just started rolling in laughter....
Wow that is nice right there. Where did u get the wood piece? That is the thing I worry about because I have 6' of chain on my danforth anchor. There is no way to protect my bow from the chain while underway
