Nice! It would be great if they had some kind of brake, so you don't end up on your neighbors YouTube video going down the driveway! 😆 -

Last month I went searching online for a trailer jack with pneumatic tires. Instead I found the video below showing a relatively quick and easy upgrade to your existing jack: It's worked pretty well. I definitely had to mess around with finding the right combination of spacers, washers, and locknut pressure that wouldn't bind up the wheels. However, it is a pretty sweet setup and allows me much better control. We live at the end of a half-alley. My garage faces the end so when I need to hook my boat up to the truck, I have to pull it out into my driveway and then swivel it 180 degrees to face towards the street. The handle is what really makes the difference and now the trailer jack wheels don't slide on the asphalt. Has anyone else done this conversion? -

I've got a pile of crawlers ready to go - a nice side benefit of all the rain in the metro lately. At the very least, I hope that the remaining trappers are making some better money off of the higher prices. I would think that it would be a great way for local kids to make some cash. I can see why it wouldn't make for a great way to make a living as an adult. -

Went out yesterday with the sunshine. I did find crappies in the shallows on a darker stained lake with Temps at 58 degrees. They had no interest in my baits -

That's part of it. Several recent years of drought have definitely played a role. There's other factors too. MN does not allow importation of live bait from other states either. That really affects the amount of golden shiners available, most of which are not trapped here. In other words, demand exceeds supply. Lots of bait trappers and dealers have simply hung it up in recent years. Its hard work for not much money. The two nearest me are both done as of last October. They both told me its just not worth it anymore. One of them had been there for 45 years. My advice would be to learn how to effectively fish with artificial lures more often. I've slowly weened myself off the use of live bait nowadays. -

Their coming! Was poking around southern center mn last Friday and found about 20 on a hill side, all to small to pick yet. Spots on the GPS! 🤗 -

Water Temps 48-52. I tried for crappies and caught two walleye. I can't even crappie fish. 1/32 ounce jig and a tiny minnow
