OMG,,, SHUSH<<<<<<<<<<<< !! That's ballast!! Too much weight in the back of the boat! ;>)
Funny thing,, lol, the other day, I seen a bunch of concrete buckets with all kinds of plastic appendages sticking out of them. The whole front of the boat was full of them!!??
People do some crazy things,, when their boats dont plane-out right.

That's the spare tire for my trailer. I don't have a mount on my trailer for it and I don't want to leave it in the bed of my truck while I'm on the lake so that's where I carry it.

As cheap as security cameras are now…there is no reason for the State not to have them in parking lots and boat ramp areas in state park areas…most have their headquarters right on the lake…IMHO

So sad but so true. Sucks you have to walk around your vehicle and trailer and make sure everything is locked down, bolted down or out of sight and when you get back to your vehicle hope everything's still there.

Went out Saturday. Started about 3 and was planning on fishing just north of the cemetery. On our way there, came across a boat of 4 people and they were trying to row it. Figured they were broke down, which they were and began to tow them to their destination. While towing them in, I was watching my side and down imagining and marked a nice stump or Christmas tree or something with fish all over it. I put a waypoint on it and we came back to it after the tow and set the spot lock. We were in about 12ft and threw out a minnow and instantly picked up a crappie. About 70 or 80 crappie later we ended with 10 keepers, 2 over 15in. Quit about 8.
Water temperature was 69.9. My buddy caught the 2 bigins and I lost another slab at the boat.

Believe it or not, the walleye were caught on a 3/4 oz purple hair jig, tipped with half a crawler, that I still had on, from a western basin trip, cast in the direction of our drift, and jigged back to the boat.
