Most are Jannsnetcraft but some I have to get on aliexpress.com from China.

I didn’t read that careful enough. The ice spoons come from Janna and the cranks come from China.

Shop around and find find what you want.

I get swivels by the 1000 from them and crank bodies and waterproof cell phone covers and Bluetooths .... from them.

I think I’m going to try a solo trip after church. Generally speaking, all I need is a fairly calm day to catch fish in the winter. It’s a solo trip because most don’t want to go in the cold weather. Living so close to the lake I only need enough to make a meal for 2 for me to consider it a success trip.

I forgot about the snow on the boat. Assuming the snow melts off the boat I'm going fishing today.

I figured the snow was melted enough and I wanted to see what the crappie would do following yesterday’s weather. We had at times 40 mph winds with 2” of snow and a low of 21 this morning. I did catch 2 crappie and 1 Striper and learned a very important lesson.

I learned to stay home and watch Wally Marshall instead of going fishing. :biggrin
