Fished a southwest metro lake on Saturday and still drove out. One truck was already out when I got there. Only caught a couple small bluegill as I chased the schools around. They just wouldn't stay still. Went back to where I caught them on the 15th and there were plenty of gills and crappie. Gills were 7.5-8" with one 9" and the crappies were 9-10" with one 11 3/4". Tried a new reel, 13 Fishing Descent (thanks Royce) on the Tickle Stick and once I got the free spool tension setting adjusted, I liked it. Glad I brought the ice cleats. Should have brought a sun buff, my face got a little red. Waved a younger guy on a snowmobile over since he was looking more than fishing. Turns out we met about 8-9 years ago duck hunting but hadn't seen each other since. Met his dad and talked to him about 45 minutes since we had some stuff in common. All it took was me willing to share my spot that made the last part of my outing more enjoyable. -

Random question as I don't know the area well: is Burntside pretty difficult to pattern for you? I've consistently heard it produces, but can be tricky as hell to figure out. -

After some research the reason is the plasticizers in the rubber hose the high pressure squeezes them from the rubber into your appliance. The reason a bbq is not affected is it has a regulator at tank end of the hose turning the pressure into “low pressure” no longer squeezing oils from the rubber hose. You may be saying well why don’t I put a regulator at the tank, well I thought the same thing initially but if the device already has an internal regulator you may run into problems. On Mr heaters website they have a hose that is made from a different material that says does not require filter it part number F273704 I’m not sure if other companies make a hose with same specs. -

Spent the day on the lake with my dad and Riverrat316. We had a blast catching gills, crappies, perch, bass, and pike. We were fishing for gills and crappies. 8-13 feet was the ticket for us. -

I'm sure when it's time to mate, it's time to mate. But, who wants to have their cloaque hanging out when it's cold! -

I'm not saying you can't fill your tag with snow on the ground, just to be clear. You can. I just prefer to hunt them in "spring-like" conditions instead of "winter-like" conditions. The snow inhibits my ability to sneak into the blind like a ninja too. Its crunchy and makes a lot of noise when its in this thawing and freezing cycle.
