Backwater Eddy, You and my sons have pulled me, kicking and screaming, into using circle hooks. Now, I,m a convert. I want to use them on tip-ups, but I need line resistance to set the hook. My #2 son came up with the idea of putting a rubber band around the tip-up spool so that line can be pulled out, but the hook will set. Have you ever tried this? What is your tactic for winte circle hooks? Thanks in advance for the help.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
