here's one more... caught this at the end of last yr.... ol mr green jeans!!... .

 

now fishing lakes.. like public, i dont keep anything... .. like you skeeter.... CPR!.... .. but my private ponds, in order to manage for trophy bass, i do have to take fish out.. they say 25lb per acre per yr... which is hard when i'm primarly the only one fishing..... but i love some good ol fried fish!!

Do you let people come fish them for a fee? Or do you just like the fact that you have access to trophy bass whenever you get an itch lol. If you do it right, there's no better fishing I've been told. I've got a couple trophy fisheries on my bucket list to try and get access to lol.

I catch and release everything catch. One, I wouldn't eat anything out of the waters I fish and two, i haven't found anything that tastes as good as walleye which isn't anywhere near me. lol

I can relate to that. Can go catch 20" plus trout at will in a couple systems here, problem is that a lot of the locals tie their sewer systems into the waterways in that area.

 

I found one spot below a nice set of falls that holds some good eyes in it, only way to get to it is a brutal mile and half or so upstream paddle though. Or jump off and pray you survive and find all your gear when you hit the bottom.

My only fishing was to stay alive...and some lobster boat chores.

I have not tried fun fishing in forever.

the closest I got to fresh water was penobscot bay as the tide went out in recent years...small ocean going fish.

 

nice pics, looks like fun.

Those bass boats created a whole genre beyond the fishing games.. quite fun.

I love to bass fish, I'd do it all spring and fall if I could. I mainly use spinning reels, the ponds I fish are weedy so accuracy is #1. I use weightless plastic worms and light top waters so the spinning reel is essential.

 

I dislike shore fishing, the bugs and carrying gear gets old. It seems like it's easier to get a fish to hit letting them swim to deeper water vs tempting them towards shore. I have a couple jonboats I use, they've seen a few fish.

 

I used to river fish a lot, all flatheads around home. We used to catch some monsters. My goal is to break 70 pounds someday. This was long long ago, a collaboration with 2 friends:

Took the yaks to a good little hole and decided to get out and bank fish for a while since the water was swift today. got a descent small jaw to start the year out right. Crazy wind and Water temps right at 40 made it worth the trip. caught on a 4.5" swimbait. 967fecd8147a4de90309e077cd9c37bd.jpgf5cc0cf9cb10c55cd17b248bc4ff5c0a.jpg

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
