My mother called me yesterday and said her washing machine crapped out on her. I called ABT and ordered her one.
Expensive start to the year and the Spring Fling hasn't even started yet.

Only had the new truck smell once and now I just drive an old Dodge most of the time. Enjoy it

Gotta try em all to have some perspective. Besides the general manger being family and giving a great deal, I was swayed to Ford because of the cab size. The Supercrew f150 has the most room out of all the big truck makers. I really wish I could have pushed my Silverado to 250k miles, it would have made it. The Silverado had 180k and the engine was in great shape and felt like she did when she was new. No rattles, squeaks, or misses. Some wear on the body, rusty undercarriage components that I recently replaced, few electrical gadgets replaced. Other than that it was a great fishing truck. But being only an extended cab with a small bench seat and lacking rear leg room, the wife and kids started giving me grief and we were overdue for more of a family style fishing truck.![]()

Also, is there a certain speed that I need to be traveling for things to look like things under me? For example, I can never see a tree with branches on my sonar...it just looks like blobs...but I am assuming this is because I am not moving the correct speed for the sonar to properly display the item below...so I just check depth and temp and ignore the rest....maybe this is its own topic?
Inspired by Badger, I just got 2 4 packs of Matzuo ned rig stuff. Might try it out later today.

Went out to Busse last Thursday... so I went to Salt Creek below the dam. Started with a Keitech & worked my way upstream. No hits. Fished the pool below the dam for a while with the same results... fished my way back down to Arlington pool. Still nothing even though I really tried to fish it slow.
Stopped on the way home at Wooddale Grove & threw the ned rig some more. Same results.
Talked to a couple of other old farts there & they weren't catching anything either - both were using worms.

Wow - now there's a conspiracy theory! Of course it could be that a) they just weren't biting, b) I'm a shitty fisherman or c) both the former and the latter.

Yes, yes I did.
Recent aquisitions for me include some Yo-zuri Mini Vibes, a Shimano SLX (with a rod, don't know which one though since it hasn't arrived yet), an Abu Garcia Veritas baitcasting rod, some prototype baits from a major manufacturer, Helix 7, bunch of ice jigs that will be on the market next winter, and some new plastics that, a bunch of Jackall blade baits, and other odds and ends.

No, it doesnt. If I read correctly, of the 2 bulbs, 1 is a flood beam & the other a spot beam. When "on" both bulbs light to give both beams @ the same time,........or something like that, but neither are adjustable.
All I can say is the thing is brighter than hell!
Ok thank you. Still sounds like a nice unit

Id like to get 1 or 6 of those tatula spinners, Im a fan. Hoping that when they do the next refresh, the outgoing (current) ones will go on a "fuego-esque" 99$ clearance, & I can update my spinning reel arsenal. The anti reverse on every 1 of my 2nd gen fuegos is toast, even the 2 that daiwa repaired have failed again.
