Well glad I went to this.! The carvings,  working decoys and custom spears were amazing some peoples talents  are truly inspiring! The items there brought back some great memories of me and my fathers spearing days together. ? Had the good fortune of running into Smurfy we had a good chat both of us were blown away by a hand carved ruffed grouse on a log it was absolutey one of the best pieces i've ever seen the detailing was behond imagination.  Price was $3,000 which explains the workmanship and time put into it I should of took a pic. Smurfy introduced me to Mike 89 it was great to finally meet you hopefully in the future we will get more time to know each other. . Thanks again for posting this show I guarantee ill be back again next year.

It ain’t over already is it?  

 

I asked my my wife if she wanted to go instead of installing her new kitchen appliances.  Guess which one she picked?  I’ve been to that show a couple times.  Always plenty to look at but the high point would’ve been pressing the flesh with you other site members. 

 

And I actually mean that. ?

i just missed realizing bound was on. i like that show but on at an odd time.

 

last year i asked him about making a perch decoy. he had some but it wasnt the fine detail i was looking for but didnt seem interested in doing one special for me so i thought he was a bit smug. but then again all the other carvers didnt have one i wanted either.

      It’s so rewarding to see them come in and everything comes together and equally frustrating to see them come in and do nothing lol

      This was our overnight, last night.  The smaller perch were kept because of barotrauma.  
    • Wanderer
      2/3 houses were running them.  And one of them had both a Mega Live and Garmin going at the same time last night.  That house did the best.  We did well.  The one without only got a few fish.     I think there’s also some of this going on.  We just see more.  That’s all there is to it.   I’m always wondering the fish are sensing them too and avoiding or not biting as aggressively but I would shut mine off for periods of time and our catch didn’t go up.  It really went down, but that could also be because the bite shut down and I was tired of looking at a blank screen, hoping they would come in with it off.   Now to say the house with most FFS power won because of that?  I don’t think so.  They were probably on a little bit better spot but they’re also very good fishermen.   The house that had none and did the worst was put ON the spot that did the best last year.  They were also the greenest fishermen that had a loud generator and may or may not have rigged their lines correctly.   What FFS has told me so far: there are no absolutes and things happen differently than we assumed in the past.

      I think we're just seeing fish we previously hadn't seen. I've realized a lot in the boat on clear lakes in shallow water a fish won't let you get within 50 ft. Last opener i was catching walleye in 4 ft. If the boat got within 50 ft the fish were gone
    • Mike89
      sounds/or something from the ducer is my guess
    • rundrave
      How many people in your group were using forward facing sonar?   I’m starting to get more and more of the opinion the fish are starting to act differently because of these new ffs?     I’m seeing lots of fish just come in on the edge of the screen and stop on a dime and just turn around and leave.    Not all of the fish, but plenty of fish. Part of me wants to chalk it up to really really good clear ice with no snow on top of it and they are extra spooky. but I have a feeling these sonars are starting to affect the fish and they’re getting wise to them?
