Where is everyone

[mrklean]

Nice job how many pounds did you guys shoot?

[Neighbor_guy]

Well done Arch!!!

[Neighbor_guy]

Been an expensive weekend... Wrote the check yesterday for a new to me boat since river fishing in the small Jon is going to be difficult this year. It's 17.5' crest liner big, wide, deep. Now I need to get a bow mount and some new batteries. Anyways, it's going to be nice to get back out on big water and chase big pike/ski's again.

With all the rain today the motorcycle ride I promised goose will have to wait, so I been helping her finish up her D.o.t.M. "Perch". She's on her way to NC to see her uncle tomorrow so wants to finish it up today so it is done in June.

We just shot for total numbers of fish since the lake we were on didnt have really big fish to be able to compete in the big 6 category. We ended up with I think 48 fish total, I think first had like 52 or 53 fish.

This is what I have been up to in the off season.

That doesn't sound like much fun NG. I'm headed to WI to go to the national Mpls. Moline convention. Old tractors and cold beer. Doesn't get much better then that for me.

[MJ1657]

Neighbor Guy and Dorkfish showed up at my place today with these. I can't wait to see that little one get smacked.

Thanks again Matt.

[monstermoose78]

Those look like winners !! Awesome work guys!

[hillbilly...]

My find at a flea market today. And I'm glad I found these first because I seen 3 others and these were the best wife started to say see what I see and I was saying yep.. he had marked at 45 I said take 20 he jumped on it.. now it needs a new rivet how do you guys go about doing it..

[Gordie]

No picture showed up hillbilly.

f your talking of the rivet in a set of tongs? Use a ballpeen hammer in a vise then lay the flat side on it then hit with another hammer on the other side and that should tighten it up. If you want to replace it FF may carry blank rivets and you will need to fit it then you can use a same /similar method as I just described on the install, and a torch for heating it up may help too.

I am still recuperating from surgery and just got stiches removed on Friday. hope to be up and about soon.

[hillbilly...]

Dang phone yea I found a big pair of tong over knee high and the rivet is shear flat on both sides I'll up load pictures when I get home

Dixon Lake Resort. We spear out on the Third River Flowage.

[mrklean]

That decoy looks huge MJ

[MJ1657]

The perch is maybe a tad larger then the other perch I have. The John Deere decoy is just that small.

I've had fun with real small decoys. They tend to bring them in fast and hard. Not great for actually spearing them but fun to watch.

[Neighbor_guy]

Sunday fun day!

Fish fry, venison loins, adult beverages, swimming a few test decoys, and spending time with family.

Hope Summer is treating everyone well
