  1. We started Goliath prior to season 3 of Ozark coming out. Now I'm really looking forward to it after hearing this discussion. That said, almost done with season 2 of Goliath and it reminds me a lot of The Wire. First season was OK but second is excellent and off the wall. Cartels be crazy.
  2. Bark, it is the only vey. REALLY like the stone edge on those lower beds. Funny observation, the only moss spot is where that sitting rock casts some shade.
  3. Hit Lake Warner in Hatfield yesterday since the Oxbow is closed. Pretty awesome looking water. One whole shore was a river channel 5-8' deep with trees down. The opposite was 2-3' lily pad fields. Found some pretty cool old foundations and stone walls with the sidescan unit. Eight largemouth but nothing over 2.5 pounds (all came on the jig), a handful of pickerel on the swimbait, and even a 16" rainbow on the damn Ned rig. The first warm day brings out all the stupidity. Dozens of folks out in canoes or kayaks, no care for social distancing around the boat ramp or that Mass requires life jackets until May 1 given cold water temps. At one point I'm fishing a jig 20' from shore and two yakers (who have hundreds of feet to go behind me) tried to cut between the boat and shore.
  4. Nice! Only issues I have seen with sod is when it goes from growing in a ton of direct sun to being placed in/around more shady areas. Probably through down some milo or 10-10-10/light fert around Memorial Day (or 5-6 weeks after it was laid down).
  5. Nice! This was a few weeks ago. 16" cast iron for reference. Biggest rainbow yet so far.
  6. Yea it is a bummer. I got burnt out tournament fishing, was doing 30+ a year at one point. Really enjoyed fishing the Bassmaster Weekend Series years ago but it was a grind (12-14 hour days on the water, hours prepping, zero sleep, driving for hours). I might get back into it again.
  7. I accidentally catch them bass fishing. I've probably caught over a couple dozen rainbows and browns this year. Had a 4 pound brown last week. All of them have either come on lipless cranks or blade baits yo-yoed. So if fishing in a lake with sparse cover and salad over 8' I let the bait drop to the bottom, snap it up and let it fall back down, almost all the way to the boat. I hate seafood and fish. I'm the same way. Second date with my now wife I choked sushi down thinking I was going to puke each time. I throw everything back but my wife and some other family members love it so I keep trout and salmon I find. I did try lake trout last year and it was actually pretty damn good. No fishy taste, just like the best chicken you've ever eaten.
  8. Lots more time to fish during the quarantine. Still lots of rumors and rumblings about the Quabbin opening so I've been hitting some new waters. Amazing the number of trout stocked this year in Massachusetts. Been our 5-6 times thus far and more trout than bass, and that is not on purpose.
  9. TOR Warning for just for northern areas of NYC (Bronx, Yonkers, New Rochelle, etc.)
  10. Feels like a summer thunderstorm coming (just 30 degrees cooler to start). Wind has been really picking up the last half hour and getting pretty dark out.
  11. Pretty amazing. Noticed a similar difference in 200' vs 700' around here.
  12. Wow. Pushing 7" in Goshen, MA. They are at about 1500'.
  13. Still cranking and radar looks like a ways to go. Liking it.
  14. About 2" of absolute paste, none of roads/driveways and still going. Snow this morning, boat tomorrow. Love it.
  15. What a band running just north of Binghamton SE down to Fishkill.
  16. BOX tosses south for eastern areas.
  17. You need to lower that elevation in your signature then.
