I don't know anything about boats, but a 454 engine is like a freaking bus sized engine. I thought fishing was driving to a location and sitting still? If you are only going in spurts wouldn't the fuel consumption be minimal? |

Lake Erie is big. It depends on where you fish and where you are willing to go but I’ve been on 45 minute one way rides. I understand what you mean about friends, hell we sat around and drank beer after, but when you go out there it’s for meat. I catch and release quite often, but Erie isn’t the place for it. | ||

So I have stopped fishing till we get rain. Fish are under enough stress with the low water. I kid not when I say we haven't had a significant rain in over 2 weeks. Anyone still able to go where they are? | ||

Water levels in the ponds that I fish in RI and MA are okay. Want to hear something strange? In the last three weeks, I was in a boat where someone caught a bullfrog while fishing for largemouth bass in lily pads. The first was caught on a jig that landed over some overhanging bushes - the frog leaped up and grabbed it! The second two were on plastic frogs - bullfrogs are not only territorial, but cannibals too! Here’s the one I caught last week in Thompson Pond, Spencer, MA.![]() ![]() |

They got bigger with each catch this morning haha. ![]() ![]() ![]() That bush in background hangs over a rock shelf just under water at the beginning of the lake there. Can always pull some bass from it. They were loving leech streamers today. |

Well nothing to write home about. Weather hasn’t been great so haven’t been about to actually shore fish. But found out this pic was snuck when I was able to fish off the dock the other day. ![]() |

Nothing like a top water hit sir, nice catch. These little guys were my go-to for topwater. Extremely versatile, sit and twitch, or trolling worked well![]() |

I never had much top water love. If there was a little wind I would have luck with a buzz bait but thats about it. I would always set the hook when I saw the bite, way too early. | ||

![]() Thought I posted this already but apparently not. No major luck. Weather played a factor except a day or two. Just pigfish, pinfish, and lizard fish. |
